Mondo & Documentary
THE ANIMALS FILM (1987)
- The book KILLING FOR CULTURE states that this movie is "Brutal
to the point of fascistic". They weren't kidding. This
is a documentary about animal cruelties and experimentation.
Extremely unsettling and ugly but very important. Narrated
by Julie Christie. Full 2hr version. (A-)
*ACTS OF VIOLENCE (1985) - Interesting documentary
that is similar in tone as KILLING OF AMERICA. This explores
the lives of several assassins and killers including some
very interesting interviews with Henry Lee Lucas. (B+)
*AUTOPSY – U.S. – Very unusual
anti-war mondo effort from the seventies. The story is about
a combat photographer that can’t face up to death. He
explores America trying to get a grip on the phenomenon until
he decides to witness a real autopsy. All the documentary
footage (Including the autopsy) is real and woven into a narrative
story. Weird, but honest and affecting. (A)
*BIZARRE RITUALS: DANCES SACRED AND PROFANE
– Top of the line mondo about the photographic images
of Charles Gatewood. Including Mardi Gras, the unusual life
style of body modification expert Fakir Musafir, and the American
Indian Sundance ceremony. Though certainly disturbing, this
is unusually moving, and fascinating as well. (A)
BLOOD IN THE FACE (199?) - Horrifying documentary
about the white supremacy movement in the USA. Watch as these
ignorant, yet scary crackers spout their self aggrandizing
dogma. Michael Moore dodges the crackers in interviews. (B+)
BY SATAN POSSESSED/ SKINHEADS USA - Two
made for Cable documentaries that are fascinating and frightening.
The first deals with the supposed rash of child molestations
and murders carried out in the name of Satan during the late
eighties and early nineties. The doc interviews many people
on both sides of the debate and pretty carefully explores
the ridiculousness of the whole mess. SKINHEADS USA is a more
frightening look at hate, just because the subject is harrowingly
real. Go inside the minds and lives of several US Neo Nazi
movements and hear how they justify their ways. Both docs
show how demonization of the societal "other" is
necessary to carry out hatred in the name of something higher.
Very excellent shows. (A)
CHICKENHAWK/ DIFF'RENT STROKES BICYCLE MAN(1995)
- Very frightening (yet surprisingly even handed)
documentary on NAMBLA (The North American Man/Boy Love Association
for those of us who are thankfully unaware). Follow the regular
day to day life of several pedophiles. See them go to work,
spout dogma and convince themselves that their nasty lifestyle
is not sick! Equally scary is the anti-NAMBLA crusaders shown,
who use their organization as a thinly veiled hate group.
A powerful and tasteful movie. INCLUDES THE EXTRA DIFF'RENT
STROKES BICYLCE MAN! as a bonus! (A-)
*CONFESSIONS OF A BLUE MOVIE STAR- Hilariously
faked documentary about the smut industry from the seventies.
Full of hot naked babes, and wonderful dubbing for the American
market as well as out of context interview clips with Roman
Polanksi taking about snuff movies! Be sure to stick around
after the credits for the "Snuff" filmmaker interview.
He is the guy in the paper bag mask showing clips of LAST
HOUSE ON THE LEFT! (B+)
*DARIO ARGENTO: MASTER OF HORROR –
ITALY - Luigi Cozzi directed follow up, that covers from OPERA
to TWO EVIL EYES. (A)
DEMON LOVER DIARY/ THE DEVIL MASTER! (1975)
- Two DISC SET includes DEMON LOVER DIARY & the movie
that they were making THE DEVIL MASTER (AKA DEMON LOVER)!Maybe
the best movie in this update! In the mid seventies Donald
Jackson decided he was a filmmaker and set about making the
anti-classic THE DEMON LOVER (AKA THE DEVIL MASTER, and COVEN)
with money gained from his CO-producer's factory accident!
The camera man and his girlfriend documented the whole process
on super 8 showing the fraying egos, blunders, long shoots
and insanity. This film is the result. The highlight shows
the crew going to Ted Nugent's house to get guns for a shoot
and eventually use of those guns to run the documentary crew
out of town! An amazing document of filmmakers whose ambition
far outweighs their talent! Fuck AMERICAN MOVIE! This is the
REAL thing! (B-) Two Disc Set is $20.00
*EKSTASE, HORRORTRIP DER SATAN'S SEKTE - NO ENGLISH
- Insane mondo type fake documentary about a Satanic
Cult that seems more interested in stripping down and doing
the nasty than worshipping old splitfoot! Probably pretty
damn scary to conservative Christians, but downright hilarious
to the rest of us who can tell how fake this is! (C)
*EXECUTIONS PLUS EXECUTIONS MONDO VERSION–
GREAT BRITAIN - Very harrowing and graphic documentary
about execution throughout history. Traces from the creation
of the Guillotine trough the various evolutions of capital
punishment. Uses many actual scenes of death and torture at
the hands of various governments. This is the ORIGINAL BRITISH
VERSION not the American rip off. Very sobering, but approach
with caution. Make sure to specify the BRITISH DOCUMENTARY
when ordering! PLUS --EXECUTIONS – America – Rip
off in name only claiming to be the original cut of the above
mentioned flick. In reality some of the sickest mondo clips
roped together, including those in the movie above. Very brutal,
disgusting and for jaded tastes only! (quality Varies form
clip to clip) TWO SICKENING MOVIES For the price of one!
*FALLEN ANGELS – Documentary on the
porn industry circa 1985. This is pretty sobering stuff as
we see several young (and none too bright) ladies get gobbled
up and spit out by the flesh industry. Another highlight is
to see Ron Jeremy before he was the fat ass hedgehog he is
now! (B+)
*FEAR IS THE MASTER (1987) - Very frightening
documentary about the cult run by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and
their use of brain washing, intense paramilitary training
and violence. This is as frightening as real life gets, next
to current politics that is. (A-)
GORGON VIDEO # 1 - Really hard to find video
magazine highlighting the late 80’s horror scene. See
unedited clips from Troma movies, see Rick Sullivan review
gore flicks, see GWAR! Etc. (A-)
HEAVEN'S GATE INITIATION TAPE (1995) - Remember
those crazy cultists that committed group suicide because
they were gonna ride the comet to glory (after slicing off
their genitals of course!)? Well here is the initiation video
that their bald headed leader made them watch for indoctrination.
His speech ends abruptly but you get the idea. There is also
some news items about the suicides on here. Pretty wacked
out shit! ALL ABOARD! (A-)
H.R. GIGER COLLECTORS TAPE –PARTIAL ENGLISH-
At home with Giger while he paints and philosophizes. He even
vacuums his cat (who loves it!)! There is also a short film
on the tape called Necronomicon, showcasing his bizarre images.
(C-)
IMMONDO VIDEOZINE #1 - NO ENGLISH -(XXX)
Are you ready for this? I doubt it! This is an Italian video
fanzine featuring Heavy Metal bands, really twisted horror
clips, trailers, horrifying news footage, insane porno from
around the globe and a top ten list of the sickest clips from
Mondo movies that is sure to make you retch. Well over 90
minutes of sicko depravity. There is no English but pain and
gore are international. You have to be 21 to order this! (Quality
various)
IMMONDO VIDEOZINE #2 NO ENGLISH-(XXX)- Even
more of the same kind of sicko stuff. You've never seen anything
like this. Includes a short film based on J.G. Ballard's work.
Yes you still have to be 21 to order! (Quality Various)
IN SEARCH OF THE PERFECT 10 - Basically
a bikini and wet T-shirt contest caught on tape that is of
interest to us only because Michelle Bauer is in it. That
and it might give you a boner. (B+)
*ISSI SAGAWA: EXCUSE ME FOR LIVING - British
documentary about Japan's most famous cannibal. This has in
depth interviews with the man himself, large readings of his
books, the actual news reports from France of his crimes.
A simply incredibe document for the true crime enthusiast.
Plus Another documentary on Cannibalism. (B-)
JOHN'S NOT MAD - But he does have Tourretts
syndrome, your rat fucker, cunt licker, fuck face! This British
Documentary chronicles the life of John a ten year old suffering
from the nasty disease that causes him to sputter obscenities
out loud at any random time. Pretty fascinating (and yes sometimes
unintentionally funny). The tape also has a follow up doc
from a few years later. (B)
*KILLING OF AMERICA (1981) -Brutal and Brilliant
mondo/documentary about violence and killing in the United
States. Widely considered one of the best mondo films ever
made this covers all the bases with footage and interviews
covering the Kennedy Assassinations, various insurrections
and crimes, and all the various serial killers including interviews
with Ed Kemper and Henry Lee Lucas. Essential viewing. (A-)
*LAST DAYS OF PLANET EARTH (1974)- Orson
Swells narrates this Japanese production about the prophecies
of Nostradamus. These quotes from the IMDB say it all: Entire
traffic jams blowing up from one car crash. New Guinea wildlife
mutants. Motor cycle gangs gone suicidal and driving off cliffs.
Japanese mobs rioting for rice. Scientific / paranormal explanations
going hand in hand. A final apocalypse sequence that lasts
for 15 minutes but is entirely made up as if the movie was
now a documentary. The acting is very over the top sometimes
and other times it's very, very restrained. There's a few
"Speed Racer" type reaction shots that don't play
well on live humans here in the US. There's a lot of SFX footage
pulled from other Toho productions, The Submersion of Japan
(Tidal Wave) and The Last War (1961!) being the obvious ones.
The movie is so visually disjointed by the end that it doesn't
really make a difference. It's interesting to compare this
to other fantasy films of the same era from Japan that toss
modern-day Japanese into chaos. It seems to be that the consensus
was the Japanese would loose their self-control and become
a violent mob. This is the American print and damn hilarious!
(A)
*LIBIDOMANIA - No English- Bruno Mattai
directed this insane fake mondo that has some of the more
hilarious (and twisted) sex cults from around the world. I
especially like the necrophiliac who chops of someone's leg
with a shovel. (B+)
MANSON 88 - A collection of interviews,
TV clips and other ephemera from 1988 dealing with everyone's
favorite dancing machine and cult leader CHARLES MANSON! Includes
News items on Les Van Houten's parole hearings, Squeaky's
escape from the pen and several tabloid TV shows with Manson.
Great true crime stuff!
MANSON 92 - Even more insanity and news
coverage of everyone's favorite forgotten son. A long interview
on Manson circa 1992 with a dumb woman who is never as in
control as she thinks. Watch how the interview is recut with
shots of here done obviously much later to make her look better!
More Squeaky stuff including the news coverage of her attack
on President Ford, and her 1992 interviews. Plus Manson's
parole hearing.
MANSON 94 - Even more stuff on Chuckles!
This one includes an EXCELLENT short documentary on people
who become pen pals with killers, plus stuff from French and
Dutch TV on good ol Manson. Collect them all!)
*MONDO ELVIS – 30 minute short documentary
about lunatic Elvis worshipers. This is one of the movies
that shows you that real life is way weirder than the movies.
$10.00 due to it being so short.(A-)
MONDO VIOLENCE - Truly sickening Mondo extravaganza
that has all the nastiness you've come to expect. The highlight
being the tour of Indian Fakirs, one of which slices his tongue
OFF with a razor! Very disturbing folks! (B-)
THE OCCULT EXPERIENCE (1987) - Very well
made documentary on the Occult scene circa the late eighties.
Visit with the Levey's and H.R. Giger. Stop by several witchcraft
shops and see ceremonies and black masses at work. What we
really get is that the world of the "Occult" is
a big one, encompassing many different ideas and faiths, while
mainstream religion finds ways to use their beliefs as money
making hate systems. This is a fascinating movie. Very even
handed, but with enough kooks to be entertaining. (A-)
*OF THE DEAD – Excellent mondo film
from the makers of THE WEDDING TROUGH (aka THE PIG FUCKING
MOVIE). This details funeral rites all over the world with
a clear, non-exploitation tone. Very highly recommended! Try
it as a double bill with ROAD TO EDEN. (A-)
RADIO WEREWOLF COMP - Various interviews
and performances from Nickolas Schreck and his Satanik white
power oriented rock group RADIO WEREWOLF. Includes a performance
with several songs, two appearances on the public Access program
RACE AND REASON, The infamous Wally George talk show appearances
(whaddya think about that!?!?!) and some religious show appearances.
If your a fan or just interested in this stuff then here you
go! (Just cause we carry this don't mean we support all the
theories espoused within!). Various quality.
ROAD TO EDEN – SPAIN- Completely absorbing
and harrowing Documentary on a morgue worker and his day to
day life. This isn’t just a mondo blood gusher; this
is honest affecting and brilliant filmmaking. Easily one of
the best films in this catalogue. Be forewarned this is graphic
and disturbing stuff. (A)
SATAN RIDES THE MEDIA - (2000) Subtitled-
Thoughtful documentary from Norway about the Church burning
and other murderous incidents surrounding the black metal
community. If you like the book LORDS OF CHAOS you will love
this! Approx. 1 Hr long Plus the British Documentary DANCING
WITH THE DEVIL about the Black Metal scene and the Judas Priest
backmasking scandal. (B+)
*SICKEST TAPE ON EARTH –(XXX)-BACK IN STOCK!!!The
most disgusting mondo, porno and grossout clips ever assembled
in between banned rock videos sure to make you puke on your
shoes. See women gobble up maggots, shit ‘em out and
eat ‘em again! See horrid auto accidents and sick German
sex loops. Witness guys sew their genitals closed and hammer
nails through them! Sex, shit, vomit, quiffing! You name it,
its on here! Two solid hours of the nastiest most vile of
all the world. Sure to make you loose faith in Humanity! You
must be 21 to order! (quality Various)
*SPK-DESPAIR- Totally uncut 2 hr 20 minute
version of this underground noise music video. With all the
Necrophilia, autopsies and other nastiness intact. This includes
the HUMAN POST MORTEM section with the most detailed autopsy
I have ever seen recorded. Approach at your own risk! Must
be 21 to order! We take NO responsibility for any mental or
physical damage from viewing this tape! (C+)
SPLATTER: ARCHITECHS OF FEAR (1986) - Super
cheesy behind the scenes tape of a no existence cannibal/amazon/gore
epic that delivers on all the sex and splatter the title suggests.
Then turns around and tells you how its done. Very graphic
and informative, though the "movie" scenes are sill
as they come. Loads of fun for the whole demented family.
(A-)
STEVEN SEAGAL: PATH BEYOND THOUGHT - Oh
Yeah! Smack My Bitch Up! More ego driven malarky from the
master of Aikido! This is from back when he was kind a big
star and could sell anything. Basically it is a hour long
info-mercial for his abilities as an Aikido teacher. Watch
as he beats teenagers to the ground! See him smack kids around
while seeming moving in slow motion! Hear testimonials from
people who all seem to be on valium! Simply fucking incredible!
As a bonus there is a untitled "this is your life"
style cable show that reveals Steve to be Hollywood's biggest
heel as well. (B)
SWEET AND SAVAGE (197?) - Fairly tame mondo
follows an Animal rights activist in Africa as he tries to
clean the continent of the poachers and killers. Instead we
see the various African tribal customs and various Animal
tortures that are par for the course in mondo land. In English.
(B)
TURBO COMP - Homegrown collection of sicko
clips, pranks, news footage etc. Has the infamous Rocket Man
by William Shatner, the "I See O.J." prank call,
Siskel and Ebert bloopers, a drunk Ed McMahon and that crazy
fucking guy getting a traffic ticket and going ballistic on
the cop, uncensored! Some really great shit on this tape.
(quality Varies from clip to clip)
TV SPHINCTER – Video collage of various
media footage, such as a pelvic exams, how to video, diversity
training videos, death footage, old toy commercials etc. Watch
out for Bud Dwyer and his suicide show, it’s replayed
here several times in a row. You gotta be 21 to order! (C+
to D+)
UNTOLD DESIRES (200?) - Fascinating Australian
documentary about the handicapped and their sex lives. This
very evenhanded film covers how quadriplegics and other physically
and mentally challenged people have sex and sexual relations.
Imagine Stephen Hawking going to a whore house and you get
a bit of an idea of what the jumping off point is here. This
should be shown is schools everywhere! (B+)
VIDEOSCRAMBLE #1 (1990?) - Home made mondo
clip collection from Baltimore. See the classic appearance
of Crispen Glover on David Letterman, The scary dominatrix
blowing darts into a submissive's ass, and the nastiest poo
scene ever! Long Dong Silver makes an appearance too, spanking
chicks with his huge, limp and useless log. Most of the clips
are really twisted news clips or talk shows exploiting the
misfortunate, deformed or violently killed, meaning this is
sick, twisted and great! You better believe you gotta be 21
bucko! (C)
VIDEO SCREAMS – This is a compilation
tape of scenes from movies, short films (Including the super
8 demo for Street Trash and Curuncula by Mario Buaino) gory
previews, bondage footage and some of the sickest atrocity
and death footage ever. Whatch out for the Bud Dwyer footage,
it’s here uncut. You better be 21 to order! (Varies
from short to short B to C-)
WITCHCRAFT 70 - Total malarkey mondo documentary
about voodoo and witchcraft that will have you laughing your
ass off at it's inaccuracies and re-creations. This was HOT
STUFF when released though! (B)
