In 'Hero' a young boy goes missing after killing his abusive father and then flying out of the window of his suburban home. The 'Horror' segment takes the form of a 50's B Horror Movie. Scientist Dr. Graves has managed to isolate and distill the essence of the human sex drive into a serum. After drinking it he transforms into a lethally infectious grotesque mutant. 'Homo' portrays the cruel obsessive love felt by an imprisoned thief for an inmate he first met as a child at reform school. Dottie Gets Spanked (1993): A brilliant assured short film from Haynes Dottie Gets Spanked offers an innovative glimpse of a future-talent unfolding. The story follows six-year old Stephen and his fixation with campy television comedienne Dottie. During his visit on set Stephen finds the scenes being filmed to reflect his deepest secrets and dreams.
