REEFER MADNESS

Four sleazy pot pushers infiltrate a local high school hangout, stage wild parties where they lure young innocent teens to dance the Jitterbug, make out (even tongue stuff) and smoke demon weed — and what demon weed it is; one toke and they’re all wrecked! Highlights include Dave O'Brien's frenzied and manic portrayal of a hard-core "pothead” (a frenzied pot- head?!) who explodes during his sensational trial and the stock virgin who looses her mind and then her virginity. Gasnier was encouraged to make this film by ambitious DEA honcho Harry J. Anslinger who was embroiled in a fierce publicity war with rival image-obsessed FBI head J. Edgar Hoover. This was one of the great anti- marijuana propaganda pieces of the 30’s that demonized cannabis and led to our current marijuana prohibition laws.

Directed by Louis Gasnier. Cast; Dave O'Brien, Dorothy Short, Wanen McCollum.

USA 1936, 67 minutes (but time is a relative concept) .

SEX MADNESS
THEY MUST BE TOLD!!!

This time around the problem is --- as the poster says --SEX. It all starts out with this fine, upstanding 1930's lily-white suburban homeboy who's come of age and has the urge merge. His shameful decline begins with him disrespecting his parents, progresses to disrespecting his penis and ultimately leads to syphilis. Along the way there are subplots concerning virgins being led astray, quack doctors peddling snake oil to those infected, dance hall girls...well, you get the idea. This cinematic monstrosity...um...masterpiece is finely rounded out with wooden acting, soapish writing and inept direction.

USA, 1937. 57 painfully stinging minutes.

MARIJUANA

A lowlife pot dealer and general pervert lures innocent teen girls to his seaside digs where he turns them on to ‘giggle weed’. After toking and getting whacked, the girls get naked (a few fleeting moments of nudity appear on screen) and a terrible tragedy ensues. But there’s more....the sweet and virginal high school girl who gets turned on & pregnant. Heavier on the sex and lower on the camp than granddaddy “Reefer Madness”, this ditty still remains a popular favorite on college campuses everywhere. We don’t know why.

Directed by Dwain Esper. Cast; Harley Wood, Hugh McArthur, Pat Carlyle.

THE TERROR OF TINYTOWN

The cinema's first and, thankfully, only all-midget western. It encompasses nearly every movie cliche imaginable: The wholesome hero in white who has been framed; the virginal heroine trying to save the farm from the evil landlord (who wears black of course); and, our personal favorite, the vamp double-crossing saloon mistress. Adding to the comedy are the props and sets. The characters ride Shetland ponies, wield guns bigger than their arms and enter the saloon under the swinging doors!

Directed by Sam Neufield. With Billy Curtis, Yvonne Moray and Bill Platt.

TOMORROW'S CHILDREN

The first picture to "boldly present the facts of sterilization !" It all starts off with this really nice girl who is about to be married to a handsome young doctor. When it is discovered that alcoholism, clubbed feet and retardation run in her family she is ordered to undergo forcible sterilization. But, unknown to everyone, she was really adopted! When her beau discovers the mix-up he rushes to save his babe from having her moo- moos snipped and tied! The film's message is reasonably simple: Forced sterilization isn't so bad if it is done to the right people !

Directed by Crane Wilbur. Produced by Brian Foy. Stars Sterling HoIloway, Diana Sinclair. Sarah Padden, Donald Douglas, Crane Wilbur.

MANIAC

The evil Dr Meierschult labors away in his basement lab to find a way to raise the dead! His equally demented assistant, Maxwell, has his own little plan...kill the doc and assume his identity (complete with false beard and speckles). Along the way there is a little nudity involving pretty girls catfighting, a man who transforms into ‘the orangutan murderer’ and a cat-eye eating scene!

BILLY THE KID VS. DRACULA

An emaciated John Carradine plays an emaciated Dracula who travels West seeking to suck the blood of innocent frontierswomen. A ‘reformed’ Billy the Kid vows to stop him and save his babe from getting nibbled on. This cheezer features inept special effects (the flying rubber bat on a string is almost as funny as Plan Nine’s hubcap spaceships) and what one critic called more choice lines (‘oh god, not the vampire test’) than you can shake a stick at. Thankfully, this was director William “one—take—is—enough” Beaudine’s final film and one of the worst he ever made.

Directed by William Beaudine. Cast; John Carradine, Melinda plowman, Chuck Courtney, Virginia Christine, Bing Russell, Harry Carey, Jr.

RED NIGHTMARE

During the communist scare of the 1950’s, some Hollywood studios and stars tried to distance themselves from their leftist associates by churning out some incredible, if not incredulous, anti-Communist propaganda films. Warner Brothers and Jack Webb teamed up to create this little doozie which offers a look at what life under communism might be like.

An ordinary red-blooded Joe living in small-town USA, conjures up a red nightmare wherein his capitalist world has gone to hell in a hand basket and his wife and children have turned red — overnight! Narrated by Jack Webb.

THE SONS OF HERCULES IN THE LAND OF DARKNESS

One of the earliest of the cheapie sword—and—sandal films was this Italian made barbell boy outing. Hercules' son, tuff guy wanna be, Argolese and friends roam the land of darkness, wrestle with a tiger, battle not one but two elephants, a dragon and a bunch of cannibals that eat human flesh and drink maiden's blood. All this to save a fair maiden and win her hand in marriage! The comic book action & dialogue along with the beefy barbell boys in their mini skirts make for a nice treat. Stars Dan Vadis.
