In the late 1950's and 1960's a motley crew of independent film producers pumped up double bills with sinister mayhem and horror. Whether the venue was a run-down movie palace, a musty neighborhood theatre or a drive-in under the stars, kids, teenagers on dates, and outcasts found themselves receptive to the promise of witnessing the unveiling of macabre secrets, nearly forbidden, it seemed, because of the bloody gruesomeness or lascivious sexuality hinted at by the colorful posters and ballyhoo. For the young, horror films were a psychic, if bizarre glimpse into the still-mysterious world of adulthood; for the rest of the audience, these films provided a jolting break fro the predictable and the mundane.
Tormented:
This psychological chiller tells the story of a man who pushes his mistress out of a lighthouse to her death, only to have her ethereal body parts return to haunt him.
With mostly laughable special effects this film proves that the best fissions are those created by the imagination.
Lady Frankenstein:
Baron Frankenstein's lovely daughter graduates from medical school and returns home to her tired ill-fated father and takes up where he left off in the monster-making department.
The film's homage to sex and horror with its innovative camera work and special effects guarantees its prestigious place in cult history.
