I love regional genre cinema – those movies that existed in the early days of VHS and video rental stores,
when seemingly anything could turn a small profit. There are many of them – 1977’s “The Demon
Lover”, 1987’s “Night Screams”, and the early movies of Donald Farmer, among many many more. It was
with great delight when I read the We Are Movie Geeks article on the St Louis Video Society and their
upcoming showing of a local movie so obscure it doesn’t even have an IMDb page, the amazing “Justice
Ninja Style”.
This gem was filmed in DeSoto, a little drive out of St Louis in what would politely be referred to as rural
Missouri, and is the brainchild of one Ron White, an apparent 10th dan black belt in karate. He’s written a

Allen Plone is the director of the 1988 slasher Night Screams featuring Ron Thomas of The Karate Kid fame and Janette Coldwell. Night Screams was notorious for having footage of vintage porn featuring Seka and John Holmes spliced into the proceedings. There was also footage of the Herb Freed slasher Graduation Day that featured Linnea Quigley and Christopher George spliced into Night Screams. Still, flaws and all, Night Screams was a corny good time that featured a body count of over 20 on screen death sequences making that one of the highest of any slasher to come out around that period. Night Screams deals with teenagers holding a party after the big football party to celebrate, but unbeknowest to them some escaped psycho killers are lurking in the basement possibly dispatching all the party goers. Director Allen Plone reminisced with me on what it was like making this movie. Here is what he had to say.
