THIRSTY WORK

I Drink Your Blood, d. David E. Durston (1970)

When a satanic hippie cult descend on a small town and make a nuisance of themselves, a small boy gives them a tray of meat pies he has injected with the blood of a rabid dog. The consequences of this unusual but totally understandable action (they assaulted the boy's sister and forced his Grandpa to take LSD) are rapid and irrevocable: madness, cannibalism and an orgy of infection and bloody death ensues. It's a terrible film, really, which is why I only ever watch it once or twice a year.

Happy Halloween, people. Trick, treat, eat, drink and be merry - but maybe give the pies a miss, who knows what might be in them?

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE OF THE DAY

 

Something to ponder from The Witches Cave (Poland, 1989).

I think about this photograph a lot.

A HAPPENING

George Maciunas was the founder of the 'anti-art, pro-chance' Fluxus Movement, and Artype is a simple but mesmeric short film from 1966, one of many made by him and his associates as an accompaniment to the numerous parties, shows, happenings and freakouts organised, attended and no doubt thoroughly enjoyed by the cream of the 1960s American Avant Garde.

It seems unnecessary to reiterate that these are random selections, what else could they be in this Universe?
