Scalps (1983 film)

Six college archeology students work on a dig in the California desert, despite the warnings of a professor and an elderly Native American.

When the group digs around in an Indian burial ground for artifacts, they unleash the evil spirit of Black Claw.

Unfortunately being pretty green about that end of the business we also gave them, the distributor, the trims and outs and the result was their "improved" version.

The Lion head was only meant to be seen for one or two seconds, but we shot a lot of it in order to have footage to choose from.

It was cut by five minutes or so, in order to make room for the second feature, but all the gruesome scenes and violence are intact.
