Trumpets of the Apocalypse is also known as Murder By Music and Perversion Story, even if it has nothing to do with Fulci’s movie of the same name.

Richard Milford (Brett Halsey) is a sailor on leave in London who learns that his sister Cathrin has tried to fly while on acid. He doesn’t believe that and investigates her death with her roommate Helen Becker (Marilù Tolo). It seems like the killer is The Romanian (Manuel De Blas) and the murder is all about some bad weed and a song that references the title. There’s a swinging club called the Mouse Hole, where we discover a face painted Romina Power.

Catharin’s music professor killed himself the same way a day before, so obviously our heroes are on to something. There’s also a hurdy-gurdy player whose instrument is his weapon. Alert Donovan…

Director Julio Buchs also made Alta tensión. He wrote this with Domenico Comanducci, Federico De Urrutia, José Luis Martínez Mollá and Mino Roli. I’m a fool for swinging sixties murder movies, much less Spanish-Italian co-productions, so I had a lot of fun watching this.

You can watch this movie on YouTube.
