A day in the multiracial lives of customers and employees of the Dee-Luxe Car Wash in L.A. is the basis for this 1970s' ensemble piece. Cheapskate Mr. B. (Sully Boyar) owns the car wash, and those who work or hang out there include T.C. (Franklyn Ajaye), Irwin (Richard Brestoff), Marsha (Melanie Mayron), a taxi driver (George Carlin), and a preacher (Richard Pryor)–all of whom provide entertainment about one day in the '70s.

Genre: Horror / Thriller
Director: Bill Froehlich
Cast: Lori Lethin, Brendan Hughes, Alex Rocco, Scott Jacoby, Andy Romano, Richard Brestoff, Al Fann, Pepper Martin, Vince Edwards, George Clooney
A high-school building has been vacant since a mass murder occurred there five years ago, and the murderer has not been captured. A low-budget film is now being made at the school to recreate the story. When crew members start to disappear, it becomes apparent that they are not alone in the building. This gory horror/comedy doesn't work. Young George Clooney is one of the first victims.
