This little opus from 1964 is the rare TV syndication version of "Beach Girls and the Monster", featuring a different edit and music. This B/W film manages to feel more authentic and "of the era" than its' color cousins, being produced at AIP. It was directed by and stars ex-matinee idol Jon Hall. Cool music track ranges from pounding surf instrumentals to Brubeck-like jazz by ... Frank Sinatra, Jr. Really. Presented in proper aspect ratio. Cowabunga!
A sampling of films from the exclusive Cinema Dementia 16mm Collection. These are genre films commonly found in the late, great TV syndication packages of the past. We will also be presenting selected shorts and curiousities.
Truly amazing piece of religious propaganda from 1941. Alternately terrifying and hilarious; depending on your point of view. This short was featured prominently in Diane Keaton's film HEAVEN.
This amazingly erotic short from 1950 is a salute to the wondrous effects of alcohol on romance! "Soundies" were the forerunners of music videos, and this is a great one. Most featured performances of current hits, very few reached the heights of suggestive imagery found here. Drink Up!

Produced in 1959, this iconic film is one of the most lurid of the genre. Yvette Vickers SMOKES as a shanty tramp yearning for the town hunk. The infamous "leech cave" scene still is nasty, even after all these years. The print is presented in the proper theatrical aspect ratio.
