1. I Eat Your Skin/Zombies (1964)

A cancer researcher on a remote Caribbean island discovers that by treating the natives with snake venom he can turn them into bug-eyed zombies. Uninterested in this information, the unfortunate man is forced by his evil employer to create an army of the creatures in order to conquer the world.
2. The Curse Of The Living Corpse (1964)

Relatives gather in an old house for the reading of a will, but the "dead" man comes back to life and starts killing.
3. The Horror Of Party Beach (1964)

Radioactive waste dumped off the coastline creates mutant monsters. The beasts attack slumber parties, beaches, tourists, and terrorize a waterfront community as a scientist, his daughter, her boyfriend and the local police try to find a way to stop them.
4. Descendent (2003)

A young novelist, tormented by his family's history and haunted by the specter of his long-dead, more famous ancestor, falls in love with a woman, a distant relative of his ancestor, whose friends and family begin to disappear mysteriously.
Del Tenney also has writing credit on 2001’s “Do You Wanna Know A Secret” but he was not the director of the film. The director for that movie was Thomas Bradford.

As a night out on the town turns into a nightmare, six young college students must fight for their lives as a killer hunts them down.
I must admit that my only real exposure of Del Tenney’s films came from Elvira’s early decades as Movie Macabre Host. After seeing these films I later seeked the VHS copies out at the first video store that came to our home town and watched them again with my kid sister. It wasn’t until a year of so later that built up the nerve to rent movies like “The Beast Within” and “Madman” for the hardcore gory films. Del Tenney was my softcore cherry popper in the horror genre which led to my love affair of all things nightmarishly delightful.
