Witches have three nipples, don't they?

He made some great sleazy movies.

Anyone care to make any recommendations? I just started dating a super freaky woman who is into this stuff. I'd like to surprise her with a movie and chloroform date night.

He had to have the last word with Ebert.

How have I never heard of these movies? They are relevant to my interests

Disturbing. I never realized how much Jose Canseco and Paris Hilton look alike.

I thought it was leaded iron. Hmm that might just be space vampires...I'm confused.

"scimitar-wielding lesbians duking it out on a hilltop, a sadomasochistic orgy in a brothel or a coven of elderly witches massaging their nipples with a crucifix"

Sounds like the first twenty minutes of a Ken Russell movie. Then they get weird.

Vampyros Lesbos and the Dr. Orloff films... plus, Vampyros... has a ~great~ soundtrack...

Vampyos Lesbos is good, but it's got some loooong stretches where nothing happens.

diaphoresis		2013-04-05 04:03:40 PM

Pics, links, or downloads or it didn't happen.

IronOcelot		2013-04-05 05:05:07 PM

No flood of links or pics at "scimitar-wielding lesbians duking it out on a hilltop"?

I hate to speak ill of the recently dead but his films were farking horrible. I wanted to like them, honestly I did but could barely last through them. And I like sleaze.

Try Venus in Furs or Love Letters From a Portuguese Nun.

Female Vampire/Erotikill is probably my favorite, starring Franco's muse/wife Lina Romay, who sadly also passed a few months ago. Sad news for fans of weird-ass (and occasionally brilliant) cinema.

You might want to give "A Bell from Hell" by Claudio Guerin Hill a look. It's an early seventies, psycho-thriller/revenge flick with these three hot chicks and their recently-released-from-a-mental-institution (uh-oh!) stepbrother, all alone together in this creepy old villa...just workin' things out. Midway through, there's a scene in an abbatoir that your lady friend might find...(ahem)...interesting.
