“DORIS WISHMAN’S CULT CLASSIC!”

BAR TRASH celebrates our 3rd year and 10th sensational season with WE ARE TRASH!, a fan-made mixtape of cult and chaotic cinema (14 May to 20 Aug 2025).

Launch night begins with Token Homo unveiling the full WE ARE TRASH! event lineup (33 films, 3 venues, 3 months!). Then, special guest co-host Molly Miles (CATEGORY H) will introduce Doris Wishman’s cult serving of cinematic mayhem, A NIGHT TO DISMEMBER (1983).

Doris Wishman (1912-2002) was one of exploitation cinema’s ultimate outlaws. Carving space in an industry dominated by toxic masculinity, Wishman channeled some of its depraved desires to release more than 30 nudity and sexploitation films across 4 pioneering decades.

“A NIGHT TO DISMEMBER is Doris Wishman’s only horror film, one whose troubled production history resulted in a dreamlike fragmented narrative. Don’t worry too much about what’s going on in the plot, instead look out for 80s porn star Samantha Fox (no, not that one…) in a starring role, plenty of B-Roll and bloody murders. Unable to be seen for many years, we couldn’t be prouder to bring the film once dubbed ‘cinematic junk’ to BAR TRASH.”

Polite notice: We are projecting A NIGHT TO DISMEMBER without subtitles from the best available digital source (which isn’t saying much…). The film contains scenes of extreme violence and gore, and makes very little sense…
