Something Weird Video Double Feature
The Great Eric, a down-on-his-luck hypnotist, sees a preacher on TV and finds divine inspiration: "I'll create a cult! A Love Cult! Give 'em a religion with a payoff!" Changing his name to Brother Eros, he sets up shop in a suburban community and preaches the gospel of love to a congregation of mostly busty young ladies who are hypnotized into giving up their bodies as well as their worldly goods. And when a rich nymphomaniac looking for kicks offers the cult one of her homes as a "Temple of Love", Eros labels her "Pigeon of the Year" and quickly converts most of her mansion into "Rooms of Worship". But things go quickly bad when all that free-lovin' inevitably leads to violence. "See the Hell they would give me in return for the Heaven I promised them!" Offbeat, often witty and frighteningly prescient, The Love Cult was made years before Jim Jones, David Koresh, or Charles Manson ever hit the headlines. Hallelujah, brother!
Plus: When a skulking psycho starts murdering the lovely ladies of the Temple of Beauty Health Club, Miss Tango, the spa's shapely owner-played by legendary strip goddess Tempest Storm-offers herself as bait for the killer by putting on a special performance at the local burlesque house: "See Tango and the Sex Monster! Maybe this act of mine will bust things loose!" It's just part of the maniacal madness found in Mondo Depravados which, of course, means World of the Depraved. And how!
