YOU'RE FADING IN AND OUT II

























The Outer Limits: The Borderland, d. Leslie Stevens (1963)

When a scientist invents a machine that acts as a bridge between dimensions, a grieving millionaire funds the experiment, hoping that he will be able to contact his dead son. During the final experiment, the scientist is literally saved by the love of a good woman. The millionaire has no love, only pain, and so dies. 





















YOKOO, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH



























































Kachi Kachi Yama, d. Tadanori Yokoo (1965)


There simply aren't enough cartoons in the world where Alain Delon and Brigitte Bardot murder Elizabeth Taylor, forcing a grieving Richard Burton to team up with The Beatles in order to get his revenge.

YOU'RE FADING IN AND OUT I


















It's 1969 and, in Crystal Palace Park, David Bowie prepares to emerge.

HAUNTED BY OUR DREAMS

































The Sadist With Red Teeth, d. Jean Louis van Bell (1971)


After being injured in a car accident that kills his best friend, a man becomes convinced that he is a vampire, so goes around biting everyone.  

Loose, amateurish, self-indulgent, but relatively unpretentious with a sense of humour and rebellion somewhere between rag week and Paris '68.
