Classroom Scare Films: Drug Evils
-
Awwwwww, freak out! Noted Percocet hound SONNY BONO, replete in shiny orange suit, dishes about Marijuana and how its users are cooler than those "square and unhip alcoholics". Still, the film illustrates the downsides to grass, such as seeing yourself in a mirror with a spooky monster mask, careening off a cliff, or -- in the case of one Nigerian pusher -- executed. You also see a monkey taking bong hits in a lab, which is, quite frankly, priceless. But Narcotics: The Inside Story shows you a bunch of rats hopped up on pills, which is far more entertaining than watching the computer animated antics of Stuart Little; followed by happy-go-lucky teenagers enjoying a seemingly unrelated beach blanket barbecue featuring a rather milquetoast volleyball game and weenie roast. Also featuring: Focus on Heroin, Thinking About Drinking, The PCP Story, and more.

Savages From Hell

Bikers, beach parties, body painting, death by dune buggy, and a good old-fashioned catfight all gleefully collide in Savages from Hell, the manic followup to Shanty Tramp from producer K. GORDON MURRAY and director JOSE ("Joseph") PRIETO. And while Savages ain't no Shanty-hell, few films are--it's still an exuberant blast from Florida's past which manages to make the entire Sunshine State seem like one of those scary little rest stops somewhere off the main road.

Teenage Mother
-
Before he became known for distributing such drive-­in epics as I Drink Your Blood, I Eat Your Skin, and I Spit on Your Grave, JERRY GROSS directed two fascinating little quickies - Girl on A Chain Gang (’65) and Teenage Mother (’67) - that are textbook examples of classic old-school exploitation. In fact. shot­-on-Long-Island Teenage Mother seems to take its inspiration from a half dozen old roadshow films, updated for the Sixties, and even concludes with that oldest of exploitation standbys, authentic birth-of-a-­baby footage!

Responsible for the death of Goliath’s parents, Eurystheus scores bonus points by capturing Illus and sentencing him to be crushed beneath the massive feet of a prisoner-squashing elephant.

Guess What Happened to Count Dracula
-
Give up? Well, for starters, he's now known as Count Adrian and, sporting a van dyke and a bad Bela accent. He and a bunch of motley ghouls run "Dracula's Dungeon," a bizarre Hollywood nightspot. When actor Guy and his girlfriend Angelica show up at the club, Drac decides he wants Angelica for all eternity - meaning he's got to bite her three times for her to be properly vampirized. After a brief tussle with another vampire named Imp, (who is quickly consigned to a cage), Drac gives Angelica two separate neck gnaws and she's soon eating raw meat averting daylight, and reacting to crosses. All of which disturbs boyfriend Guy who, despite promising her to Drac in exchange for an acting career, challenges the vampire after a special "Macumba Ritual" in which a crazed dancer eats a live lizard and screams, "I have eaten the lizard! I love the lizard!..."
Ma Barker’s Killer Brood
-
Oh, who cares how much of this is really true or not. Ma Barker's Killer Brood is how things should have been. And after seeing this wild, hilarious, and consistently over-the-top B-movie bio-pic, it's damn near impossible to think of Ma Barker any other way than as played by everyone's favorite scenery-chewing little old lady, LURENE TUTTLE: "Shoot him, Herman! Shoot him!"
She Should'a Said No!
-
“The Film That’s Scorchin’ The Nation’s Screens!” The She who Shoulda Said ‘No’! is honeypot LILA LEEDS (Lady in the Lake, Moonrise) who was busted for doing doobies with rugged Robert Mitchum just months before this updated upgrade of Reefer Madness. Cashing in on the notoriety of “The Screen’s Newest Blonde Bomb,” KROGER BABB, “America’s Fearless Showman,” promoted the film as “The Story of Lila Leeds and Her Expose of the Marijuana Racket!” (She’s even costumed in the same suit she wore when she was sentenced with Mitchum!)

Polly Pockets
-
POLLY POCKETS, an un-aired pilot for a 1960’s kiddie TV show that has absolutely nothing to do with the tiny plastic dolls, and is best viewed under the influence of a mind-altering substance. It features a cheerfully toothy brunette who wears a gaudy patchwork skirt with magical pockets filled with all sorts of goodies. She is accompanied by Dandy Andy, a middle-aged man dressed like Abe Lincoln. After gliding upon a magical trunk, they reach a world of whimsy, complete with kooky contraptions, calliope music, rope tricks, and stories which are told with hand-drawn cartoon illustrations. (Apparently, there was no budget for actual animation.) When Polly pulls an onion out of her pocket, she’s reminded of an adventure at the Castle of Gloom, where character actor Percy Helton is a henchman, and she’s arrested for being happy and sent to the onion dungeon.
Daredevil
-
Though best known for the Mexican horror films he imported and dubbed into English, as well as numerous foreign children's films sold as"Kiddie Matinees" throughout the Sixties producer K. GORDON MURRAY also dabbled in American-made Southern-style exploitation such as Shanty Tramp (1966), Savages from Hell (1968), Thunder County (1974), and The Daredevil, the last starring role for Hollywood cowboy GEORGE MONTGOMERY. A crazed mix of racing, racism, and drug smuggling, THE DAREDEVIL; another portrait of The Redneck as an American icon with an attitude that's about midway between Thunder Road and Smokey and the Bandit, helped in no small amount by the casting of big George.
