This week, Bill and Sam are joined by Jennifer Upton, an American (non-werewolf) writer/editor in London. She’s picked Blood Freak for her movie — she wrote about it on the site! — and Sam and Bill have picked Blood Beach.

It all starts at 8 PM EST this Saturday on the Groovy Doom Facebook and YouTube pages.

Up first — Blood Freak which you can find on YouTube and the Internet Archive.

Every week, we talk about each movie, show an ad gallery for it and then make a cocktail that goes with the film.

Here’s the first recipe.

Hippy Freakout

• 2 oz. vodka
• 2 oz. rum
• 2 oz. triple sec
• 2 oz. orange juice
• 2 oz. pineapple juice
• 1 oz. sweet and sour mix
• Splash of lemon-lime soda

1. Mix all ingredients except sweet and sour mix and soda in a shaker with ice.
2. Pour over crushed ice, then top with sweet and sour mix and soda.

Our second movie is Blood Beach which you can watch on YouTube.

Here’s the second drink.

Blood Beach

• 1.5 oz. vodka
• .5 oz. peach schnapps
• 1 oz. orange juice
• 1 oz. pineapple juice
• 1.5 oz. cranberry juice
• 1 tbsp. grenadine

1. Mix all ingredients except grenadine in a shaker with ice.
2. Think wistfully of Marianne Hill or John Saxon as you shake it, then pour over ice and top with a bloody bit of grenadine.

See you on Saturday!
