Product Description

Get ready to monkey around with this smorgasbord of monsters and maidens, Something Weird-style!

Then have a double helping of prehistoric monkey business with The Mighty Gorga and One Million AC/DC, and head to the monster-filled nudist camps of The Beast that Killed Women and The Monster of Camp Sunshine where bathing beauties are menaced by clutching creatures from beyond! Plus you'll get a Bonus Fourth DVD packed with trailers from the outrageous Something Weird collection!

Awesome, totally awesome!

Can you stand the excitement? Want more? Then check out FEAST OF FLESH (aka "Blood Feast"), the first-ever splatter movie from the genre's legendary creator, Herschell Gordon Lewis! Filmed in Miami in 1963 for a buck-and-a-half, this is the nightmarish tale of a homicidal Egyptian caterer who dismembers his victims, using their body parts to reanimate a long-dead goddess.

THE MIGHTY GORGA is the film's writer/director David L. Hewitt in a cheap gorilla costume. Surprisingly OK cast quickly sinks into an ad-libbed miasma. The subtitle of THE MONSTER OF CAMP SUNSHINE was obviously influenced by Dr. Strangelove-- any similarity ends there, however. In this one, a nudist camp's gardener drinks water tainted with toxic waste and transforms into a ghastly creature that attacks the unclothed campers.

The "highlight" of the Mexican-made NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APES is probably footage of actual open heart surgery. A mad scientist tries curing his son's leukemia by giving him the heart of an ape (pronounced "gore-EEE-yah"). The boy predictably turns into a gnarly monkeyman and goes on a bloody rampage. ONE MILLION AC/DC was scripted by Ed Wood! (Big deal...) The movie's tagline says it all: "See...Vala, the voluptuous cave babe! See...Mota, the mighty war-lard! See...Dino, the plastic-eating dinosaur!"
