Reefer Madness
Reefer Madness has also been titled Tell Your Children and The Burning Question.Directed by Louis J. Gasnier, Reefer Madness was meant to be a serious warning to viewers about the dangers of marijuana.The film today is do hilarious because the notion of marijuana use in the 1930s was so inaccurate that it destroyed all credibility the film ever had.Reefer is described as causing high school kids to become instantly addicted turning them into violent terrorists, sex maniacs and leading to outrageous behavior, accidents and murder!
Cocaine Fiends
Cocaine Fiends was directed by Williams A O'Connor.The film is about a small town girl who is lured to the big city by drug-running gangsters that turn her into a cocaine addict.Later her brother, now also in the big city, becomes addicted to cocaine and spends all of his time in a rat infested apartment with his drug-using girlfriend.To support their drug habits, the girlfriend turns to prostitution.When she discovers she is pregnant she turns on the gas jets to the stove and commits suicide.Includes drugs, sex and swing music, this movie is unintentionally comical!
Sex Madness
Sex Madness is a film dealing with the evils and perils of sex and serves as a warning to all boys and girls about he dangers a little fun can bring them.A beauty pageant queen heads to the big city to find fame and fortune and gets caught up in a web of deceit, lies, sins and venereal diseases.The director and cast are unpublicized probably due to the films taboo subject and social climate of the 1930s.If you thought Reefer Madness was funny, you'll love the campy ride that Sex Madness takes you on.
