WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Fanny Hill (1968)
Russ Meyer made Fanny Hill in 1964, the Oliver Reed version I watched numerous times on Cinemax was in 1983, and Tinto Brass made Paprika in 1991. But this is the Swedish version, and the American print ads didn’t just say “from the makers of”; they said “from the country that gave you I, A Woman, Inga, I Am Curious […]
UNSUNG HORRORS HORROR GIVES BACK 2025: Mars Needs Women (1968)
Each October, the Unsung Horrors podcast does a month of themed movies. This year, they will once again be setting up a fundraiser to benefit Best Friends, which works to save the lives of cats and dogs across America, giving pets second chances and providing them with happy homes. Today’s theme: 1960s! Larry Buchanan was making low budget […]

16. A Tokusatsu Horror Film Latitude Zero is a futuristic utopia that lies hidden fifteen miles below sea level at the intersection of the Equator and the International Date Line.

THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB’S SUPER SCARY MOVIE CHALLENGE DAY 13: Curse of the Swamp Creature (1968)
13. A Horror Film That Features a Swamp Creature Larry Buchanan made a number of low-budget 16mm color remakes of American International Pictures movies for television. Despite the limited budget, he was able to create some truly wild films, including this one, which was inspired by Voodoo Woman. Dr. Simond Trent (Jeff Alexander) has set […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Destroy All Monsters (1968)
Has there ever been a better movie than Destroy All Monsters? It is everything magical about film: giant monsters smashing cities and fighting one another while people run and scream in terror. It is cinematic junk food, a treat for the mind that transports me back to watching Action Movies on Youngstown’s WKBN 27 as a […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Death Laid an Egg (1968)
Let me put it out there right now: This movie is completely insane. Let me see if I can summarize it. A high-tech chicken farm is attempting to breed birds with no heads or bones. A love triangle develops between the three people who run it: Anna (international sex symbol and the photojournalist who was […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT: Pretty Poison (1968)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Pretty Poison was on USA Up All Night as one of the third movies. I can’t find the date — do you know when it aired? Dennis Pitt (Anthony Perkins) wants a life of adventure, and he gets it. On parole from a mental institution — he set the fire that accidentally claimed the life of his aunt […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Corruption (1968)
As the trailer will tell you, Corruption is not a woman’s picture. That’s debatable. What is not is that Corruption is a ripoff of Eyes without a Face. But hey — some of my favorite movies are total rip-offs. Renowned plastic surgeon Sir John Rowan (Peter Cushing) starts the movie at a swinging 60s party with his beautiful […]
MILL CREEK BLU-RAY BOX SET: Bewitched The Complete Series
Bewitched aired throughout the most tumultuous time in modern history — hyperbole, that could also be today, but true, as rehearsals for this show’s first episode were on the day Kennedy was shot and the episode “I Confess” was interuppted by Martin Luther King Jr.’s death — from September 17, 1964, to March 25, 1972.
