A young nurse named Charlotte takes a job at a secluded mental asylum in the country after her predecessor was murdered by one of the inmates. Now, seemingly alone in the isolated hospital with a tyrannical doctor and criminally insane inmates, she begins to fear for her life. She has reason to because the insane have taken over the asylum!
A loose adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe’s “The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether”.

Episode 12: Lady Frankenstein!
Another screen adaptation of the Mary Shelley novel, but this one was unique for its levels of sex and violence, as well as its female lead. Often considered feminist science fiction/horror film because the focus is not on Baron Frankenstein in this version but his daughter, challenging 19th century gender roles by being a brilliant surgeon and a femme fatale.
Tania Frankenstein returns home from medical school and takes over her father’s work when his creation kills him and goes on a rampage. Using her brilliant mind and beautiful face and body, she sets out to prove to the world that her father was a genius!
The trailer to this film was sampled at the beginning of Rob Zombie’s song “Living Dead Girl”. The film was originally distributed by Roger Corman of this Italian horror film.
Rivaled only by “Curse of Frankenstein” and “Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein” in its combination of sex, violence and gothic horror.

“Ilsa Meets Bruce Lee In The Devil’s Triangle”!
A movie that never was. But really should have!
This was a movie that was planned to star Dyanne Thorne and Bruce Li, and would have been part of the Bruceploitation cycle of the 70s. According to Dyanne Thorne’s commentary on the Ilsa box set DVDs, the film was set to go with he and Li signed to it but then it just fell apart due to problems with the producers. Otherwise it would have made for one of the all time great grindhouse exploitation films of all time! I guess the Kung Fu thrills of “Enter the Dragon” with the sex and violence of the Ilsa series, and the intrigue of both! I could easily see Ilsa working for Han.
I forgot to wish everyone a happy 4th of July!
Today we celebrate the fact that a bunch of rich, aristocratic white guys didn’t want to pay their taxes, so they started a war that poor people fought for them and then turned around and taxed said poor people who could not vote because they did not own enough land and crushed them in two separate tax revolts similar to the one they started.
Of course, the same thing happened in 4th of February 1861 the same thing happened but those men are remembered as rebels and traitors.
Go fig.
Fly on hypocrisy flag!
