WEIRD WEDNESDAY: The Demons (1973)
“Let The Exorcist beware, The Demons are here!” One can only imagine that Jess Franco sat in a theater as Ken Russell’s The Devils ended and thought to himself, “But where’s the sex?

WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Delinquent Schoolgirls (1975)
Homosexual fashion designer Bruce Wilson (Stephen Strucker, Johnny the air traffic controller from Airplane!), sexed up Dick Peters (Bob Minor) and Carl C. Clooney (Michael Pataki) escape the insane asylum and work their way into a girls’ school. Still, instead of this being a revengeomatic, it’s a comedy. The Delinquent School Girls cut of this film missed […]

WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Deep Jaws (1976)

Sizzlin’ Summer of Side-Splitters 2025: The Dirk Diggler Story (1988)
Sept 15-21 Mockumentary Week: “Ladies and gentlemen, by way of introduction, this is a film about trickery – and fraud. About lies. Tell it by the fireside, in a marketplace, or in a movie.
