We’ve been leading up to this for a whole year — we’re showing two of our favorite movies of forever this week! Make plans to meet us Saturday on the Groovy Doom Facebook page starting at 8 PM East Coast Time.

Bradley Steel Harding will join us to introduce the films, share drink recipes, show you the ad campaign for each movie and then discuss the movies when we come back!

Up first is one of the 70s most amazing movies. Flat out, a complete classic, it’s Messiah of Evil! You can watch it on YouTube.

Here’s the recipe for the cocktail we’ll be enjoying during the movie.

Point Dume Sunset

• 1.5 oz. coconut rum
• 1.5 oz. peach schnapps
• .5 oz. grenadine

1. Fill a glass with ice, then pour in this order: vodka, rum, schnapps.
2. Pour the grenadine down the side of the glass, so that you get the “sunset” effect.
3. Then, pour your juices, then add cherries. Then, sit in the sun and wait. And sleep. And dream. Each of us dying slowly in the prison of our minds.

We’re following that with perhaps the strangest movie of the 70s to get a PG rating. And that would be…The Baby! You can watch it on Tubi.

In case you didn’t know, we make a drink with each movie.

Trans-Siberian Express

• 1.5 oz. gin
• 1 oz. blue curaçao
• .5 oz. lemon juice

1. Shake all ingredients in a shaker with ice.

Up next, it’s our next Mario Bava movie — we’ve already shown Shock, Baron Blood and A Bay of Blood — and it was his dream project: Lisa and the Devil which is on YouTube.

Here’s the cocktail.

Lisa and the Cocktail

• 1 oz. vodka

Wow! Two Telly Savalas movies and two blue curaçao drinks! What are the odds?

We’ll see you on Saturday!

This Saturday night on the Groovy Doom Facebook page, we’re forgetting Godzilla vs. Kong and enjoying some weirdo kaiju, the same things should be, starting at 8 PM East Coast Time.

First up, Infra-Man! You can watch this on Vimeo.

Yeti Colada, Cocktail of the 20th Century

• 1 oz. Kraken rum (or your rum of choice, but a cryptozoological rum makes sense here)

• .5 oz. coconut milk
  • Note: You can also just use 1.5 oz. of Pina Colada mix
