I’ve had this happen to me before… When I mention freeze-frame shock endings (granted, it does sound grammatically incorrect), people suddenly give me a peculiar look and ask what the hell I’m talking about. So here’s a little introduction to the subject matter.

Director: Burt Brinckerhoff
Writer: O’Brain Tomalin
Release Year: 1976

Director, writer: Jean Rollin
Writer: Jacques Ralf
Release year: 1982

Director: Andrea Bianchi
Writer: Piero Regnoli
Release year: 1981

Writer: Max Cuff
Release year: 1978
