You think a movie with the title, Tower of Screaming Virgins could get made and released today?
Sure we have all sorts of movies which seem actively hostile to people with an IQ above room temperature, but they come with weak names like Saw or Transformers.
To say nothing of the placement of the entrance on the tower in the headlining ad... And that title, Tower of Screaming Virgins, so many rude jokes can be made.
And I'm sure some of you are aware of the semi-popular events called purity balls (they're called balls? Oh man, they're creepier than I thought). If you have any one close to you that is involved with such events... send them this page.

Cool post! I didn't know the California was opening at noon in '72 - this must've been to compete with the grindhouses run by rivals south of Broadway. The Tower of Screaming Virgins tagline "There's no second time around when you enter...." kind of baffles me - were victims entering the Tower thinking it was an E-ticket carnival ride, or what?

Well, patrons of such fine art (Tower...) may have been thinking they were walking into something classy: according to imdb (famous last words) Tower of Screaming Virgins was based on a novel by Alexandre Dumas.
The 3 Musketeers guy.
Unfortunately, since it's not on DVD and no one I know will admit to having a VHS copy, there's no way to know if it achieved the high standards set by Dumas.
