Fred Olen Ray has had a rather checkered career, and I guess he's the mastermind or owner of Retro Media, which does put out some decent (depending on your perspective) old horror flicks. Scalps is actually one of his better films but this is pretty low budget and this restored version contains bits and pieces that were censored that are obviously spliced back in. I have a "double feature" VHS with The Slayer & while it's been some time since I watched it, it was still obvious to me which scenes were "new" since the quality is a bit poor. Still though it's a good film with a decent atmosphere of dread that stays with you throughout. And yes, there's a few topless babes, as in the tops of their heads go missing. College students doing illegal Indian artifact digging are the grist for the mill here, and one by one they fall victim to this evil Indian spirit that practiced black magic. A truly charming film that's a must for most horror fans, and while it's pretty low-budget it still beats most of Ray's later works (with the exception of Hollywood Chain Saw Hookers).
