COME BACK TO THE DRIVE-IN ASYLUM DOUBLE FEATUE THIS SATURDAY!
This Saturday night on the Groovy Doom Facebook page, we’re watching two great movies and it all starts at 8 PM East Coast Time. Up first — a criminally underseen movie, 1982’s Mongrel. You can watch it on YouTube. We always offer cocktail recipes, but don’t feel like you must drink. Salty Mongel 1.5 oz. vodka 4 […]
Dementer (2020)
Dementer has an intriguing premise: what if someone tried to escape a backwoods cult? How would they get past all the abuse? And how would they try to earn a living? After fleeing one of those aforementioned religious groups, Katie (Katie Groshong), sleeps in her car and tries to make a living by working in […]
Jigsaw (1968)

Hallucination Generation (1966)
“You will experience every jolt…every jar of a Psychedelic Circus…The Beatniks…Sickniks…and Acid-Heads…and you will witness their ecstasies, their agonies and their bizarre sensualities…You will be hurled into their debauched dreams and frenzied fantasies!” Hallucination Generation is pure exploitation, because it at once wants to be a warning of the dangers of pill popping while also […]
The Love Statue (1965)

Greenwich Village painter Tyler Westin is in love with a cabaret […]
The Big Cube (1969)
The Big Cube presents the hippies as the bad guys and the establishment — Lana Turner! — as the ones having to deal with their conniving ways. This is one of the few films where the stepmother is the one dealing with the machinations of her stepdaughter and not the other way around. Turner plays […]
Drug Abuse: The Chemical Tomb (1969)
Herbert P. Caine is the pseudonym of a frustrated academic and genre movie fan in Pennsylvania. You can read his blog at https://imaginaryuniverseshpc.blogspot.com. Drug Abuse: The Chemical Tomb is one of the worst examples of anti-drug PSAs that I have ever seen. It lacks the drama of films like Reefer Madness and Narcotics: Pit of […]
