Noisereductions, Atsonic and Dr Felix are more able to recommend Horror movies from that era than I am but I doubt you'll find that many quite like LHoDEs.

I appreciate this movie for what it was- basically an independent 'horror' film that gained true cult status due to its behind the scenes rumblings. It's a perfect example of 70' grindhouse cinema, as well. The book "Sleazoid Express" (which is a must have for any exploitation/grindhouse fan) spends quite a few pages on "Last House On Dead End Street" debunking alot of the myths about its director and detailing the various trials and tribulations of the film receiving home video distribution. Watch it along with Gaspar Noe's "I Stand Alone" for true nihilisic cinema!
