BLOOD SUCKERS / Lucinda Films, Titan International Productions - 1970

Here's a wild vampire tale all about a group of friends searching for a young English Oxford student who has disappeared while researching his book in Greece, they are shocked to find that wherever he has been in the area, certain unsolved murders have taken place. They find him under the spell of a beautiful vampire, and, believing they have killed her, the group return home, unaware that their friend is now a blood sucker. Alternate titles are INCENSE FOR THE DAMNED and FREEDOM SEEKER.

I have a sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our blood sucking machine, NOW, Rufus The Gnat!.. Here's... BLOOD SUCKERS!

Talented Richard Fountain has left England to pursue his studies, you can hear his little bio intro in the sound clip...

Richard has hooked up with a mysterious woman and things are getting a little weird for him.

She doses him up with her special drugs, and, well, he's hooked big time!

Here's a scene of two lovers making out while two topless chicks watch with pleasure...

Remember these semi transparent plastic masks?.. I do, except, my nose never quite fit right.

In Greece, this donkey is considered an off road, four wheel drive, all terrain vehicle!

Richard gets bitten pretty good before his friends can pull the vampire lady off his neck!

Patrick Macnee plays good friend, Derek Longbow, during the search for Richard, he gets stuck on the side of a cliff. Unfortunately, he falls to his death, heard at the end of the sound clip.

I love this shot. I could spend hours in this museum just browsing the many displays.

They get Richard back to England. Peter plays Dr. Goodrich, father of Richard's fiancée, Penelope. He calls out Peter at a ceremony because.. well, you know, he's s freakin' vampire!

Then, they get to Penelope a little too late and Richard has done the deed!

There's only one way out of this movie!!.. Eegah!! is here tomorrow to keep The Dungeon Express a-chuggin' on down the long, stormy track!

SALVARE LA FACCIA - Benedetto Ghiglia/Rossano Brazzi - "Psychout For Murder" (1969)

Welcome to a new feature in The Dungeon called Eurotrash/Giallo Wednesday! I'll be planning on doing this on a regular basis in the future, at least once a year!

 Watching "Psychout For Murder" is kind of like getting a colonoscopy! You don't know what to expect at first, then the next thing you know it's over, and you don't know what happened. It wasn't a bad thing, but then again, it's not something you want to do again real soon!
Why the English title is "Psychout For Murder," I have no clue, but that's what suckered me into watching it!

 Is it sex, is it love, or "is it just confusion?" It's up to you to figure it out!

 It seems that leg belonged to a member of a high society big business family member, and there she was, with a common person! Shame, Shame!!

 Although this is an Italian movie, the star, Adrienne Larussa as the persecuted Licia, is an American actress who spent a lot of time on the sets of soap operas with names like "General Hospital," and "Days Of Our Lives!" She was also in the David Bowie film, "The Man Who Fell To Earth!"

 I like sub-titles! Some times, like right here, they explain a lot!

So they ship Licia off to the funny farm!

Can they cure her of being a depraved sex addict?

 I think these toys explain the whole story!

 She learned her lessons well, and now she has crazy down to perfection!

 Great gas station shot circa 1969!

 I read about comparisons of Adrienne Larussa to Soledad Miranda, and that's something that probably can't be denied!

Things are starting to slow down some, so it must be time to bring on the band! You'd probably have to ask composer Benedetto (Secret Agent Super Dragon) Ghiglia who these cool cats were, but I don't think that's gonna happen since he passed on back in 2012 at the age of 90!
 Here's what it sounds like when this party is going on! 

 Classy Rossano Brazzi is Licia's oh so upstanding, but hyper hypocritical Dad!
Rossano also wrote and directed this film, and it was produced by his younger brother Oscar Brazzi! It's just a family affair all the way around!

 Licia decides to put on a little poolside performance for her sleazy brother-in-law!

 Now THAT is a cool record player!

 One more long hallway, and I'm outta here!

See what can happen? They took a nice girl, and turned her into a monster!
Politics as usual!

THE WIZARD OF GORE / Mayflower Pictures - 1970

Time to go off the edge, Herschell Gordon Lewis is the driver. Herschell brought us stuff like BLOOD FEAST, TWO THOUSAND MANIACS!, MONSTER A-GO GO, COLOR ME BLOOD RED, SOMETHING WEIRD, THE GRUESOME TWOSOME, SHE-DEVILS ON WHEELS and plenty more twisted flicks. Today's story's about a TV talk-show hostess and her boyfriend who investigate a shady magician with the ability to hypnotize and control the thoughts of people in the audience in order to stage gory on-stage illusions using his powers of mind bending! It's one Hell of a tale, filmed in Chicago.

I have a sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our smelly chum bucket, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula!.. Here's a sample from... THE WIZARD OF GORE!

Well, here's the eager, stylish audience ready to be gored big time!..

For his first trick, Montag the Magnificent pulls out his handy chain saw to entertain the audience! The saw does its job and makes for lots of gore to enjoy.

Nice picture of the... Err, the chair! Yeah, nice chair, I'd like one of those for my place!

For his second illusion, Montag asks some dude from the audience if the metal spike is real.

Yes, it's real, so, Montag pounds it into this gal's head and then pulls out her brain!

The illusionist goes to the morgue and steals a female body after putting the goofy mortician in a trance. Looks like he's saying bye-bye to someone.

Break time, okay, who's hungry for some fried chicken?!.. Buck, buck, cock-a-doodle-do!!

For his next trick, Montag uses his large hole punch machine to drill through this pretty screaming gal's bloody guts.

This time, he rams long swords down the throats of two girls! Wow, some bras are not very attractive under those tight fitting blouses.

TA-DA!!!..

Check out this office space. Now, that's one weird ass place to work!!

After Montag is supposedly burned to death, the talk-show hostess and her boyfriend celebrate the event. Hey, great looking 1970's apartment!

The celebration is brought to an abrupt end!.... MONTAG!!!.. Well, we can only imagine what Eegah!! has in store for us on Wednesday, til then.. MONTAG!!!
