DEATH BY INVITATION / Kirt Films - 1971

Here's one I got off of TCM Underground a few years ago, now, it's time to check it out. It's all about a young woman who learns that one of her ancestors had been burned at the stake as a witch, so, she decides to seek revenge for her on the descendants of the people who put her to death... Okay, this is another movie from Kirt Films in New York, producers of the gawd awful CURSE OF THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN and CARNIVAL OF BLOOD, which we've already reviewed.

I have a sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our charred witch post, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula!.. Here's a sample from... DEATH BY INVITATION!

The story starts with a flashback from the past, the most exciting thing for the whole family to do back then was to burn people at the stake!! I mean, like, what the Hell else was there to do?

This was Shelby Leverington's first acting credit, she plays vengeance seeking, Lise. Man, the seventies was a weird time for fashion! Nerds in suits...

Wow, what a great place for a picnic, you go girls!

Here's Jake and his family at dinner, they appear to be very religious...

If you're going to make a horror flick, well, you definitely need a scene at a cemetery!

Here's Peter, boyfriend of Lise, he's going to show everyone how strong he is and put this kid's arm right through the plate glass on this coffee table!

Loving Lise is tough, she's a whacko bird! While she sleeps, he goes into her closet that has blood all over the floor.

That's because there's a decapitated head and some guts leaking blood out of a plastic bag there. So, Lise is the ax murderer??..

Naw, it's freakin' Jake, his ancestors were responsible for crimes from the past, and, he's actually the crazed ax murderer!

Lise has a vision during the altercation, confirming who the ax murderer is, I guess!

And, mean old Jake gets his just desserts, a nice ax slice of neck with cherry syrup! So, we're back Wednesday with more craziness, just for you...
