The films of Bill Reeves (I)

Here is an article at newspapers.com, but it's behind a paywall.  Does anyone have a subscription?

https://indystar.newspapers.com/image/313247401/?match=1&terms=%22William%20Reeves%22

I updated the films I have, except for one called Dark Obsession (1998) that I submitted decades ago but was never accepted.  From my correspondence with him, he doesn't consider it his film because he didn't write it, even though he directed it and played the killer.

Films I know he made that are currently not listed (because I don't have them):

The Gutwrenching Nightmare (1986) (says it;s trhe prototype for The Gutwrencher, which is listed)

The Card Game (1987)

(these are both visible in the free search window linking to the above article)

Deadly Obsession (1994) Reeves solves murders by a serial killer who thinks he's Jack the Ripper https://indystar.newspapers.com/image/313247401/?match=1&terms=%22Deadly%20Obsession%22

Articles on The Crown Jewel of Indonesia say that it's his seventh film.  (https://indystar.newspapers.com/image/107362354/?match=1&terms=%22Crown%20Jewel%20of%20Indonesia%22) I wasn't able to ger a complete list when it came out in 1999, and Bob Blubaugh didn't have any of the earlier ones when I wenrt to his store to buy it as per the Indianapolis Star article. I recently added photos of all the credited cast just by taking pictures of my TV screen while playing the VHS tape.  I don't have a way to connect my VCR to the computer to do a real screen grab, and the only one I've seen at Best Buy is for Mac only.

I don't know if this is enough info to add his films.  He hasn't responded to me recently, though his latest photos on Facebook are from Ramadan (his wife is Indonesian Muslim), which just ended on April 9. He hasn't been particularly forthcoming with me about his earlier work, although he did send me a copy of Dark Obsession (I bought The Crown Jewel of Indonesia, Terminal Targets, Trail of Terror, and Slayers at Bob Blubaugh's store) but he told me a few years ago that Vinegar Syndrome was preparing to release Blu-Rays of his films.  I believe I also tried to add Terminal Targets back when I first got it, or else I was deterred when Dark Obsession got rejected. This is the only image of Terminal Targets' cover that I know of online.  It's taken from my copy, so I can provide a larger one, just not with a link:
