Join Luke and Leland as they discuss the horrific, bizarre, melodramatic, exploitive, dumbfounding and offensive fare found in the video store era. Just don't show grandma.
Join us down under for this off-beat Australian vampire flick. Kate is supposedly a descendent of Elizabeth Bathory, and consequently in high demand as a mate in some vampire circles. A "modern" cult of aristocrats, who keep human cattle on a large estate for blood farming, kidnap her. They plan to initiate her into the lifestyle, whether she likes it or not.

Episode 107: Toys Are Not for Children (1972)
Despite her recent marriage, Jamie remains obsessed with toys and fixated on her absent father. She strays from married life to become a New York City sex worker, nurturing a fantasy of locating her father and earning his approval. Unfortunately for all involved, she succeeds the only way she knows how. A passion project for stand-up-comedian-turned-writer-director Stanley H. Brassloff, Toys Are Not for Children stands out among 70s pop-psychodramas for its unwillingness to cater to any audience whatsoever.

Episode 106: Ganja & Hess (1973)
In this offbeat vampire film, Duane Jones (Night of the Living Dead) is a college professor studying mythical African cultures, when he is initiated into vampirism against his will. What follows is a strange mix of Christian and occult mythology, with some startling brutality. Only in the 1970s can you find such eloquent intersections of art house and horror. Check it out!
