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!..."

Malamondo

"War babies. They want to be different. They don't want to belong to any mass society. They have their own-type clubs, their own 'in' groups." Thus Malamondo, an elegant look at early-Sixties' teenage angst and "way out youth," Euro-style, set to the delirious musical musings of a young ENNIO MORRICONE! "Teenage swingers" ski in the nude in the Swiss Alps! (Skinny-skiing?) At a summer resort in Italy, "the children of the post-war rich" interrupt their boredom to play Who Wants-to-Slaughter-a Pig, and quickly learn that "waste and destruction aren't so hip after all!" And students in Northern Italy race to the beach at lunch time and "let off steam" with a sea-side striptease!

The Bloody Brood
-
Peter Falk's first film! And not a bad one at that. The whole opening scene features free-form prose set to a bongo beat -- then long-gone Nico (Falk) gets hungry for kicks and kills some kid by feeding him a hamburger filled with ground glass. And the plot takes off from there. The ads said "A Motion Picture That Peels Off the Dirty Sweaters Covering the Raw Emotions of Youth!" It's a bongo-blastin', beat generation bloodbath.

After Miss Barrington kills a galpal in a catfight and the deceased inexplicably returns as a girlfriend for wacky artist Artie, the group enters a pyramid made of giant LSD sugar cubes which is also the entrance to Hell where Artie suddenly turns into The Devil and everything explodes into one big Acid Orgy... Whoa! Easily the Sixties' most insane mix of sexploitation and psychedelia, David F. Friedman's The Acid Eaters is soooooo out there that even the strongest of minds may become unhinged.
The Beatniks
-
Beatniks? What beatniks? Two-bit punks, a closet rock-&-roll star, and an out-of-his-mind psycho: yes. Beatniks: no. Though The Beatniks was probably a last-minute title change to replace a less exploitable moniker, it didn’t make much of a difference to the audiences of 1960. After all, to a world emerging from the Eisenhower era, bohemian artists and beat-generation poets were seen as little more than socially maladjusted misfits in the same category as junkies, Commies, and teenage hoodlums — or the petty-crime crackpots running loose in this fast, fun, and naively hilarious saga of an overage delinquent who becomes an overnight sensation.

The Weird World of Weird
-
To celebrate 20 years of Something Weird bringing the world the very best in subversive, disreputable, and cult cinema, SWV made available four exceedingly rare, never-before-released jewels that will make any cinephile’s head light up and spin. Rosie (b&w) is a failed 19-minute pilot for a TV sitcom about a talking dog named Rosie. It is absolutely horrifying. Why? Because the dog is not played by a real canine (or a puppet or a cartoon) but by a large adult in a mangy dog suit with a creepy dog face, clumsily walking around on his hands and knees. The Weird World of Weird (1970, color) is a loony 47-minute never-aired TV special in which host RALPH STORY explores psychic phenomena, astrology, witchcraft and “all those mysterious secrets hidden in the mystical world of the occult.” with detours to a psychic “balloon reader” and a spook-filled séance at the Magic Castle. It's got a groovy, late-60s psychedelic feel to it all that makes it a wonderfully bizarre time capsule. Follow That Skirt (1964, color) is a nasty little 26-minute short that was probably intended to be America’s second gore film. Though not released until 1965 when, according to Dave Friedman, it played a single theater in San Francisco, there’s little doubt that Blood Feast was its influence. Based on the popularity of its trailer, The Smut Peddler (1965, b&w) is among a handful of currently “lost” films that Something Weird (as well as the rest of the world) has been actively searching for. So we were thrilled when we at least found this much in excellent condition. And, yeah, it’s good stuff. A crude oyster-eating publisher, a lesbian secretary, and a French photographer all love mauling and exploiting their lovely nude models while W.B. PARKER (Olga’s House of Shame) is shocked and appalled. - Frank Henenlotter
