  • Co-Ed Call Girl
  • A Job to Kill For
  • Death of a Cheerleader
  • The Babysitters Seduction
  • Crimes of Passion: She Woke Up Pregnant
  • Baby Monitor: Sounds of Fear
  • My Stepson, My Lover
  • A Little Thing Called Murder
  • And Then There Was One

  • The Faces of Evil: The Kris Kringle Story
  • She Had Two Lovers: Ben & Jerry
  • She Woke Up Pissed Off
  • A Little Thing Called Zoloft
