Down in the Louisiana swamp lives Bubba (Charles Ludlam), a wealthy oil heir who looks like he was dragged backward through a hedge, dipped in swamp water and left to dry in the sun.

Today, lock your doors, dim the lights, and grab a cold drink, because we are diving deep into the filmography of a true master of skin, sin, and VHS neon: Gregory Dark.

29. LE VOYEUR’S VOYEUR: A scene where you can see a movie (real or fictional) playing in your movie. This is how a twenty-something wunderkind takes the neon-soaked excess of the 1970s and puts it through a gritty, Altman-esque wringer before dropping it into the cold synth-pop dawn of the 1980s.
