There’s Always Vanilla
-
Attention die-hard GEORGE ROMERO fans: this is the one you've been waiting for! Believed forever lost, this Latent Image take on The Graduate is the red-headed stepson of Romero and company's output which bridges the thematic gap between the feminist concerns of Season of the Witch (1972) and no-holds-barred horror of The Crazies (1973). The plot concerns Chris, a troubled youth who can't commit himself to family or friends until he meets Lynn (JUDITH STREINER), who tries to help him gather all the disparate strands of his life and bind them into some kind of shape. Romero's signature machine-gun editing technique takes this standard boy-meets-girl-in-the-early-seventies story and turns it into a kaleidoscopic barrage that's full of surprising life.
The Dance Of Tomorrow
-
1950s Archival short subject “The Dance Of Tomorrow,” featuring a glimpse into the future of automobiles.
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!
Monsters Crash the Pajama Party
-

The Phantom Planet
-
Actually, The Phantom Planet is really one of those damn phantom asteroids (resembling a giant bowel movement) that zips around space on its own power, and sucks the spaceship of DEAN FREDERICKS to its surface. Once Fredericks is exposed to its atmosphere, he gets dizzy, sees ten teenie-tiny men creep up on him, and shrinks inside his space suit (a great shot) until he’s only a few inches high. Next thing you know, he’s having a fist-fight with one of the little men right inside his space helmet!
Yes, boys and girls, it’s another sci-fi kiddie matinee full of rockets dodging meteors, aliens in fiery space ships, an astronaut who floats to his death reciting “The Lord’s Prayer,” an allegedly “advanced race” that lives in a self-imposed “primitive” lifestyle because they once had too much leisure time on their hands (huh?), and, best of all, what may very well be the funniest-looking monster in movie history. And, because it’s all set in the futuristic world of 1980, everything is carefully explained with a lot of scientific jibberish that doesn’t make a goddamn bit of sense.
The Devil's Sleep
-
Newspaper headlines denounce a rash epidemic of barbiturate overdoses. Even more shocking is that the abusers are juveniles out for cheap kicks.
Responding to the rising public outrage, a prominent female judge sends young detective Sergeant Dave Kerrigan to uncover the source of the dangerous contraband. His dogged search leads to a crooked weight-loss "gym" where overweight women, desperate to shed pounds in a hurry, are supplied with addictive diet pills by the corrupt proprietors. The case gets more complicated when the gym owners conspire to have the judge's underage daughter photographed naked at a pool-side pill party. Facing blackmail, the girl's mother must choose between resigning from the bench to protect her daughter from public humiliation or turning up the heat on the drug pushers.
Starring Charlie Chaplin's ex-wife Lita Grey and featuring lingering locker room dialogues, wild parties and carnal excess, The Devil's Sleep is a reactionary exploitation film filled with perverse thrills and pious outrage.

It's A Revolution Mother
-
Here’s an odd but nonetheless fascinating time capsule of late- Sixties social unrest filtered through the mind of Florida-based sexploitation producer-director HARRY KERWIN. Yup, the man who made Strange Rampage, My Third Wife George, and Girls Come Too - and who was also the brother of Blood Feast star Bill Kerwin wanted to tap into the same youth market companies Like AlP were so good at exploiting. But lacking the funds to make something along the lines of an Easy Rider or a Wild in the Streets, Kerwin blissfully dispensed with both fiction and actors and, instead, went out and filmed The Real Thing. Combining (rough, raw) authentic footage of bikers, peace protestors, and the crowd at a rock festival, he created the mondoesque It’s a Revolution Mother! a self-described "Documentary of Love" tied together with an exuberant (and often hilarious) anti-government-anti establishment-anti-Vietnam-war-pro-rebellion rant -written by TOM CASEY, director of Sometimes Aunt Martha Does Dreadful Things (’71) - delivered by an uncredited narrator who sounds like an AM disk jockey on speed.

"It's not that we don't trust this distinguished group of men, but there's a lot more to the grass story. So, as a public service, we thought we'd check out some of the numerous rumors about Killer Weed!
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!..."

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. Worse, a centaur - half-man, half-horse - kidnaps Goliath’s wife and delivers her to the temperamental tyrant. Naturally, Goliath goes ballistic, flexes his muscles, and clobbers all the king’s men.
