| Description: | Preview Cassette 97789 Don't pass up an opportunity to see this incredible old adults-only oddity based in part on Poe's The Black Cat. Bill Woods stars as a crazed vaudevillian who ends up killing and impersonating Dr. Meirschultz (Horace Carpenter), a mad scientist who could revive the dead. Highlights include the eating of a cat's eye, body snatching, two women locked in a cellar fighting with syringes, a rapist who thinks he's a gorilla, and a bit of nudity in defiance of the Hays Code. (Hayes Code) Includes film clips from "Seigfried" and "Witchcraft Through the Ages" to illustrate madness. You won't believe it. Exploitation, sex, insanity. | |
