Porklips Now
''Porklips Now'' is a short, low budget parody film, made in 1980 by the American director Ernie Fosselius, based on the 1979 motion picture ''Apocalypse Now''. It chronicles the journey of Dullard (played by William "Billy" Gray, most famous as "Bud" in the ''Father Knows Best'' TV series), a gardener and handyman, sent to Chinatown by two butchers to meet a business rival, Fred "Madman" Mertz, and "take care of business". The film cleverly and humorously incorporates references to signature elements of the film on which it is based, albeit in a somewhat conspicuously low-budget manner. Echoing a widely held if erroneous belief about ''Apocalypse Now'', the film features several alternate endings. The film was included on the compilation VHS release ''Hardware Wars, and Other Film Farces'' from Warner Home Video and is currently available on VHS and DVD from Pyramid Direct Films.

Night Of Bloody Horror
Night (also described as night time, unconventionally spelled as "nite") is the period of ambient darkness from sunset to sunrise during each 24-hour day, when the Sun is below the horizon. The exact time when night begins and ends depends on the location and varies throughout the year, based on factors such as season and latitude. The word can be used in a different sense as the time between bedtime and morning. In common communication, the word ''night'' is used as a farewell ("good night", sometimes shortened to "night"), mainly when someone is going to sleep or leaving. Astronomical night is the period between astronomical dusk and astronomical dawn when the Sun is between 18 and 90 degrees below the horizon and does not illuminate the sky. As seen from latitudes between about 48.56° and 65.73° north or south of the Equator, complete darkness does not occur around the summer solstice because, although the Sun sets, it is never more than 18° below the horizon at lowe ...

''Hardware Wars'' is a 1978 American short science fiction parody film in the form of a teaser trailer for a fictitious science fiction film that parodies ''Star Wars''. The 13-minute film, which was released almost 18 months after ''Star Wars'', mainly consisted of inside jokes and visual puns that heavily depended upon audience familiarity with the original. The theme song is Richard Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries". Synopsis The film begins with a parody of the 20th Century Fox logo with "Fox" being replaced with "Foss" (a reference to filmmaker Ernie Fosselius) followed by the text "Meanwhile — in another part of the galaxy — later that same day" (parodying the ''Star Wars'' opening crawl "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...."). A household steam iron flies through space, fleeing a toaster, which fires toast at it.
