Last House on Dead End Street is an American exploitation-horror film. The film has an interesting release history; it was reportedly made in 1973 and, according to the director, was released in 1974 as The Cuckoo Clocks of Hell, before being released under its now-known title in 1977. The story concerns a disgruntled man, recently released from prison, who takes out his anguish by making snuff films. The film's title is derived from the controversial Wes Craven film The Last House on the Left, which was released nine months earlier in 1972.
The true identity of pseudonymous director Victor Janos was largely unknown until Roger Watkins claimed on Internet message boards in 2000 that he had directed the film, a claim subsequently confirmed. Barrel Entertainment released a double-disc DVD in 2002.
