It's a case of mistaken identity when American actress Betty Williams gets confused with her vampire grandmother. Betty has inherited grandma's castle in Transylvania and accidentally sets her loose from her tomb. What follows is a sex comedy that you can really sink your teeth into, complete with a bloodsuckers' ball orgy featuring top vamp Dracula himself.

Retired assassin Angel is getting back in the game. Literally, as in she gets her assignments through an 16-bit arcade machine. She's out to ice five scumbags running a child prostitution ring, including
Morton Downey Jr.
(The Morton Downey Jr. Show),
all the while being tracked by her former boss/lover. What better way to spend the time between each hit than cheap sex and riding a bike. And they'll never see her coming.
Silent, but deadly.

(1965, USA)
|
|
Welcome to violence!
Racing out into the barren California desert, three thrill-seeking go-go dancers get their kicks from crimes. Drag races, catfights, murders, straining blouses, and lots of torrid action await.
Tura Satana
(The Astro Zombies)
stars as Varla, the karate-chopping, catsuit-suited, busty, black booted leader of the trio, laying down one sarcastic one-liner after another.
"The point is of no return, and you've reached it!"
"Beyond a doubt, the best movie ever made. It is possibly better than any film that will be made in the future."
―John Waters

Blobermouth
(1991, USA)
Directed and Co-written by
Kent Skov
(Reefer Madness II: The True Story)
That oozing pink terror,
The Blob,
lives again in this irreverent and hilarious send up of the 1958 classic. But this time, Steve McQueen has to face off against a wise-cracking pile of goo when, for the first time, The Blob speaks!
The L.A. Connection
are a comedy troupe who did live performances at the Nuart Theatre in the early '90s. They would show some campy '50s movie with the sound turned off and recite their own, scripted dialog over it, ala
What's Up, Tiger Lily,
which is where this vid originated.
