Mario Bava & Peplum Horror: Hercules in the Haunted World (1961)

Mario Bava & Peplum Horror: Hercules in the Haunted World (1961)

The legendary Italian director Mario Bava is best known for defining horror genres like giallo and slashers, so it should come as no surprise that his early work in peplum films had a darker, edgier feel than most of the genre. This bizarre, beautiful flick is also an early example of Bava’sinfluential, jaw-dropping use of color.   Subscribe to Psychotronic Sisters YouTubechannel:https://www.youtube.com/@psychotronicsisters   Visit our site, sign up for email updates ⁠https://psychotronicsisters.wordpress.com/⁠ [https://psychotronicsisters.wordpress.com/]   Get Psychotronic Sisters Merch: ⁠https://psychotronic-sisters-shop.fourthwall.com⁠ [https://psychotronic-sisters-shop.fourthwall.com]   Watch our videos, clips, trailers andtributes:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3YO4qr70d9xVZaac0WABUcs23f8giwR9

Carroll Baker, Orgasmo, and So Sweet...So Perverse

Carroll Baker reached the heights of her successful career in Italy in the four films she made with director Umberto Lenzi. In this episode we talk about their first two collaborations, both filmed in 1969: Orgasmo (aka Paranoia) and So Sweet…So Perverse. Lenzi knew how to elevate genre flicks and Baker brought star power and bold energy to every role.

Dead End Drive-In (1986): Aussie Double Feature Part II

It’s Slab City meets Burning Man in Dead End Drive-In (1986). Aussie director Brian Trenchard-Smith’s entertaining, action-packed flick is even more relevant today in the way it reflects car culture, the prison system, and the way society as a whole can be a prison. This is part two of our Aussie Double Feature in which we praise the entertaining and surprisingly progressive Trenchard-Smith.   Subscribe to Psychotronic Sisters YouTubechannel:https://www.youtube.com/@psychotronicsisters   Visit our site, sign up for email updates ⁠https://psychotronicsisters.wordpress.com/⁠ [https://psychotronicsisters.wordpress.com/]   Get Psychotronic Sisters Merch: ⁠https://psychotronic-sisters-shop.fourthwall.com⁠ [https://psychotronic-sisters-shop.fourthwall.com]   Watch our videos, clips, trailers andtributes:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3YO4qr70d9xVZaac0WABUcs23f8giwR9
