And here I was, dark pacts made with unnameable entities, dozens of cats sacrificed, entire herds of gypsies put to the torch, all for naught.<br /><br />Oh well, at least all that was fun.<br /><br />Fantastic review, Vicar! I certainly need to watch this movie, it sounds fun as hell. Why no one has made a modern day undead biker movie is beyond my comprehension.The Duke of DVDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04931606833969681610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032450846239938332.post-4489568350916700752010-03-23T02:57:24.034-05:002010-03-23T02:57:24.034-05:00The morgue guy looks like Captain Kangaroo (Bob Ke...The morgue guy looks like Captain Kangaroo (Bob Keeshan).Pierre Fournierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16109698812799559366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032450846239938332.post-83316176904558966702010-03-22T23:32:32.359-05:002010-03-22T23:32:32.359-05:00Vicar, I saw this a few months ago on TCM Undergro...Vicar, I saw this a few months ago on TCM Underground and adored it. It was as if Eric von Zipper and his Rats had made a pact with the Devil and finally avenged themselves on Frankie and Annette, only to get The Finger in the end. And it has the best engine-propelled resurrection scene until Lone Wolf McQuade. Great choice for a review!Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032450846239938332.post-80485243632965991202010-03-22T20:26:58.682-05:002010-03-22T20:26:58.682-05:00Groovy review, man.
I should have a Psychomania-...Groovy review, man. <br /><br />I should have a Psychomania-related entry lurching about in the near future. <br /><br />The "Holly-Hobby script" on the back of Abby's Living Dead jacket that The Costuminatirix mentions was my favourite part of the entire movie.Yum-Yumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897678877069611172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032450846239938332.post-44946168424070618842010-03-22T16:25:19.791-05:002010-03-22T16:25:19.791-05:00@Costuminatrix--I hadn't given much thought to...@Costuminatrix--I hadn't given much thought to the font on the jackets for each biker's name, but you're right, it really does reflect the character. ;) Also, you know by Jane's bright red jacket that she's a hellcat! <br /><br />WRT the inspiration for the movie, I think your husband might be onto something there! It's clearly the most plausible explanation! ;)<br /><br />@Jami--According to imdb that's Denis Carey, not James Doohan, though the resemblance is rather striking. ;) The morgue drawers are rather Trek-like as well, as you rightly point out!The Vicar of VHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832137990485130735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032450846239938332.post-81565979705051657492010-03-22T16:09:13.799-05:002010-03-22T16:09:13.799-05:00Is that Jimmy Doohan in the morgue?

I about laughed myself sick at how all the other bikers had badass fonts for their names, and then Abby shows up with this cutesy Holly-Hobby script for hers.<br /><br />My husband speculated, whilst watching this film, that someone had a brilliant vision of the cycle-emerging-from-the-grave sequence and then wrote an <i>entire movie</i> around it. Snarkery aside, I definitely love PSYCHOMANIA, but then again I *am* one of those Mod-scene worshippers.The Costuminatrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01568789159814677586noreply@blogger.com
