Johnny Legend’s Untamed Video (August 25 – 31) Welcome to the wonderfully wacky world of Johnny Legend’s Untamed Video! Take a walk on the wild side with troublesome teenagers, sleazy sex kittens, way-out hippies, country bumpkins, big bad bikers, Mexican wrestlers, and every other variety of social deviant you can think of.

Also known as Honey Britches, Moonshiner’s Women, Hillbilly Hooker, Little Whorehouse on the Prairie and its original title, Shantytown Honeymoon, this was originally directed by Donn Davison, who narrated trailers and radio ads, as well as managed the Dragon Art Theatre in Florida. He adirected the Asylum of the Insane inserts for She Freak, Moonshiner’s Woman and Blood Beast of Monster Mountain. Davison also acted in those last two movies, along with Crypt of Dark Secrets and Mardi Gras Massacre. Ah yes, he was also a magician and yo-yo expert. As if you need any more coolness for this man, he also got movies like Beyond The Door, Secrets Of The Gods and The Force Beyond into Southern drive-ins.

Fred Olen Ray later bought this movie, filmed a new introduction scene with John Carradine as the Judge of Hell, re-titled it Demented Death Farm Massacre and sold it to Troma. It’s claimed he made six times back the money he invested.

Shot in Alpharetta, Georgia, this is the story of Phillip (Jim Peck), Suzanne (Pepper Thurston, The Hidan of Maukbeiangjow), Kirk (Michael Battlesmith, who directs the milk commercial in Can’t Stop the Music) and Karen (Trudy Moore), who are on the run from a jewel robbery and end up in the cabin of too old for his wife moonshiner Horlon P. Craven (George Ellis, the same man who was TV horror host Bestoink Dooley and who made the baffling The Legend of McCullough’s Mountain/Blood Beast of Monster Mountain) and that way too young wife that he paid $200 for, Reba Sue (Ashley Brooks, whose only other acting role is the lead in Carter Stevens’ adult movie Tinseltown).

All of these people are stuck in a sweaty shack and when it comes out that Horlon has a fortune in there, much less that he has an attractive young wife, you can just imagine what is going to happen next.

When I had the opportunity to speak with Ray last year, he really didn’t want to discuss this film. Oh well. I kind of like just how weird it is and it’s a great story, if not a good movie.

You can watch this on Tubi.
