Today’s Horror on the Len is 1955’s Dementia, an experimental horror film without dialogue.  The film follows a young woman (Adrienne Barrett) over the course of one surreal and nightmarish night on Los Angeles’s skid row.

Despite an opening endorsement from no less a Hollywood luminary as Preston Sturges, audiences in 1955 were not sure what to make of this dream-like film.  However, it has since been rediscovered and reappreciated by audiences who appreciate the film’s surreal vision.
