From Something Weird Video: During the Great White Suburban Drug Scare of the late sixties / early seventies, parents, educators, and corporate sponsors banded together in an effort to scare American teens away from getting high. It might be argued that the weird and often hysterical propoganda films that emerged from this era created more drug abuse than they prevented. Nevertheless, here’s a handful of Classroom Scare Films from a groovy by-gone era that will fascinate and entertain you from beginning to end... Featuring Featuring Weed, Ups / Downs, and more.

A classroom biological science documentary from the future which shows what the Spirit and Opportunity landers are filming on the planet Mars RIGHT NOW with their electron microscope-cameras, but not sharing with us. Some monster nudity, simulated stop-motion sex. Animated in claymation (in 1976) by Douglass Smith, aka Rev. Ivan Stang, devotee of Slack master and Sex God J. R. "Bob" Dobbs, who discovered the Conspiracy and an invasion by UFOs, and founded The Church of the SubGenius, an adults-only religion for mutants, misfits, weirdos. Part of a SubGenius feature-length anthology of comedy shorts, although this particular short predates the SubGenius projects. Rev. Ivan Stang says: "Originally it had no narration; my wife insisted I write up some sort of script. I got some 7th-grade science textbooks and a 16mm film called LIFE AMONG THE MOLDS from the library, and word-spliced 'till the cows came home."

From director Frank Henenlotter (Frankenhooker, Brain Damage) and co-producer Mike Vraney (the late founder of Something Weird Video) comes the epic documentary critics call "fascinating" (Video Watchdog), "titillating" (Time Out Los Angeles) and "jaw-dropping" (Seattle Weekly): Henenlotter and legendary exploitation monarch David F. Friedman - in his final film appearance - are your hosts for this eye-popping expedition through the world of pre-code peekaboos, stags, sex-hygiene films, goona-goonas, nudie-cuties, roughies, druggies, white-coaters and more, featuring thousands of spicy, steamy and downright sleazy clips from the SWV archives.

In Alice in Acidland (1969), a wholesome college student succumbs to the temptations of marijuana and becomes a dope-crazed sexual omnivore until she hits rock bottom after taking the plunge into LSD.

Newly restored by Vinegar Syndrome, Weed is a strangely compelling time capsule that documents the marijuana culture and economy of the early 1970s... hosted, improbably, by notorious adult filmmaker Alex De Renzy! The documentary follows all sides of the burgeoning “Legalize It” movement, including law enforcement, pharmacists, and hippies, while its globe-trotting lens moves from Mexican trafficking routes to hash culture across Asia.

Bigger Than Life dives in to life and career of director Bert I. Gordon, known for many sci-fi and monster films including Tormented, King Dinosaur, Attack of the Puppet People and many more. Often working with his wife, Flora Gordon, the two specialized in early special effects.

Musician Richard Carlson is haunted by a ghostly girlfriend in director Bert I. Gordon's 72-Minute feature length Chiller-Diller from 1960.

A gang of teenage criminals vandalize a small community by stealing cars for parts, meanwhile an investigator is hot on their trail.

Benevolent aliens from the planet Emerald send superhero Starman to protect Earth from invasion by an evil alien race called the Spherions.
