Mike S's Top Five Scenes That Make "Dementia 13" (1963) a Great Movie

Mike S here with a Top Five List!  This time, I'm going to visit one of my favorite movies EVER- Francis Ford Coppola's debut, " Dementia 13 ".  What follows is a list of the five scenes that make this a great movie.

Review: Dementia 13 (2017)

One of Mike S's all-time favourite movies is Dementia 13, a cheaply made 1960s Roger Corman Psycho cash in written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Say that five times fast. Can't do it, can yah. The S and I discovered Dementia 13 by accident many moons ago. It was included in one of those DVD packs with something like 50 horror movies in one set, all of them older flicks in the public domain.

Francis Ford Coppola wants your #nightmare

Word has it it's not that great, and stars Val Kilmer. Take from that what you will.

Either way, it's pretty cool and worth noting. Kinda makes me want to check out the movie and see if it's as terrible as people say.
