DRIVER'S ED SCARE FILMS Volume 5

*WARNING - Some of the shorts may contain gruesome scenes of car crashes and the aftermath. Watch at your own peril! And ALWAYS DRIVE SAFELY!
THE LAST PROM: It Is with great pleasure SWV presents perhaps the most Infamous Driver Scare film of all, The Last Prom. It opens with a smashed car parked in front of a high school. It ends with a funeral. The meat in the middle is perhaps the most haunting visualization of reckless teenicide ever committed to film. Good luck. Scary says. "You owe it to yourself!"
COURTESY (b&w) Part one in a safety series In which the all-knowing, all-seeing Sergeant Bruce does his bit to ensure that blood stays off the streets and drivers don’t explode into a frenzy of road rage. Sgt. Bruce’s intellectual command is amazing. Way to go Sgt Bruce! Scary says. "They call me Mister Bruce!"
DATELINE TODAY (b&w) The confidential report was produced by Chevrolet to show off just how amazing their 1960’s models were. More death-defying than Evel Knievel, more stunts-per-minute than Dukes of Hazard, this Is one helluva joy ride. Scary says, "Pedal to the metal, full throttle, etc.!"
WHY TAKE A BRAKE? (b&w) Yelling narrator alert! The recent tire scandal makes this fire scare film timely and relevant. Very grim for its time. And all the better for it. Scary says: "Trouble on wheels!"
SPLIT SECOND DECISION (color) Presented in CINEMASCOPE, or rather DRIVE-A-VISION. This classic P-0-V driving flick was filmed down In sunny Florida. Strangely there are moments in this film that seem to have been shot by Italian auteur Antonioni. Seriously. Scary says: "Like driving in the comfort of your own home!"
TEENICIDE (b&w) Sgt. Bruce Is back, mad as a hornet. Crazy teens are upping the death rate on the highway death statistic chart. Bruce questions whether people under the age of 20 are able to handle big killing machines. You’ll have to watch to see his answer. Scary says: "The title of this film was stolen wholesale from The Last Date (see below)."
HIGHWAY DRIVING (b&w) Sgt. Bruce again. He’s had some time to relax after screaming about Teenicide. Now he’s on about being careful on the highway. Bruce is a true trooper. Scary says: "40 below trooper!"
Left Turns (b&w) And again! Is there no stopping this man? Left turns are the subject, and, well, Bruce again displays his mastery of the subject. Scary says. "Someone get Bruce a beer!"
THE LAST DATE (b&w) What better way to round out this stuffed volume than DICK YORK participating in a bit of teenicide. Last Date was somewhat of a big deal for its production company Wilding. Not only did they treat it like a mini-feature, they had crashed cars parked out in front of all the theatres showing it. Oh, the class. Scary says, "Teenicidel tendencies!"

Judy's definitely not focused on STEM studies or being productive to society in any way. 2 mins into this I've no remorse for any of the characters.
