Question
Can you explain what exactly happened in the last few minutes of Bud Townsend's 1972 cannibal horror movie, FOLKS AT RED WOLF INN?  I hate to think it was ironic for its own sake.  Or was it all just a dream?

Answer
Hi, Augusto...

Actually, I can't explain it. It was meant to be a low-rent version of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", as you could probably tell by the moody photography. It's meant to be a "nightmare captured on film." And, you're right... it was ironic, just so it could be ironic. Sad, but true...

Sorry to let you down without some huge inner meaning... it was a low-budget cheapie to cash in on the beginnings of the splatter era... nothing more...

Thanks for asking,
