Alright, bring on the virgin apocalypse!

I wrote about the upcoming German dvd release of ANGELS WITH GOLDEN GUNS aka Virgin Apocalypse here. The dvd is coming from the video label CineClub and altho there's still no word no a release date, Spannick, who works for the video label, posted some cool screen grabs from the release over on Cinehound forum. The screen grabs in the proper aspect ratio certain look much better than the fullscreen version of the film that I've got! Spannick has also uploaded a clip from the print and re-uploaded the film's original IFD trailer. Check them both out! (the trailer is posted in the post just before this one).

So, should I blame David Lynch or a bad childhood?

I had a dream again last night. In my dream I suddenly feel there's something under my right foot so I sit down on my bed and pull off my sock. There's a little head sticking out under my foot! Not a human head but it looks like some weird bird or some shit. Kinda like the baby's head in Eraserhead. It strikes me I actually saw it several days ago but it was still undeveloped under the skin of my foot, and I hadn't bothered to do something about it. Bummer! What to do now! It's Friday (in my dream anyway, in reality it's Monday but actually it wouldn't have made things any better as it's a public holiday here) and my MD's office closes at 12:00 on Fridays. Hmm, maybe if I'm quick I can find another doctor who's open and ask him to do something about the head under my foot. But then it occurs to me I should probably wash my foot first. How do I do that? Where do I go? ZAAP!! and as it happens in dreams I suddenly find myself somewhere else. I'm in a place that looks like a hallway in a school or factory or some such. Hey, there's the loos, great I can wash my foot there. But I probably need some help, so I start yelling, "I need help, can some pirates help me"! I have no idea as to why pirates would be good at helping me with washing my foot that has a head attached to it and soon I realise it was a daft idea cos although two pirates do turn up, they are members from some youth gang that just happen to... dress like pirates. I realise I'm in trouble but fortunately I woke up. Damn dream!

Note to self: Don't ask pirates for help if you've got a weird growth somewhere. Bad idea!

Too cool for school!

PUSSY CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST!!!

I've never heard this band but the cover of their CD along with their name is too cool not to post regardless!! Info about them is scarce but one blog describe them as "primitive punk". Yeah, I believe that. The CD is from 2001 and they've probably broken up long ago and have become hausfraus or kindergarten teachers.

EDIT: Hmmm, all that Japanese writing confused me, haha. Apparently, "Pussy Cannibal Holocaust" is the title of the record, NOT the band. Bummer! That would have sounded much better than that real name which apparently is ANADOREI.

 Thanks to Kenno for tracking down this video on the ol'e tube:



According to Discogs.com the band have released two albums and two 7 inch EP's:

"Pussy Cannibal Holocaust" - CD (Captain Trip Records, 2001)
"This is the beginning of the end" - CD (Captain Trip Records, 2006)
 "We'll break male's fantasy fuck your myth of musculinity full of anger" - 7" (Captain Trip Records, 2002)
[untitled] - 7" (Freaked out frequencies, 2003)

You'll find the listing on Discogs here.

Aenigma! #2

(Not published yet!)

Here's the cover for the next issue of AENIGMA! Nigel says it'll probably come out in about two week's time or so. And yes, that is indeed Danish Bodil Joensen on the cover. The ish will have an article on her (if you don't know her do a google, there are Wiki pages in English and Danish) and obviously some other stuff that I don't know about (duh!). Bodil Joensen was known in Denmark as "Ornepigen Bodil" [Bodil the Pig Girl]. With THE CRAMPS added song title on the cover I'm sure you get the idea.

AENIGMA! on Facebook.

Battle of the Wonder Women

I bought Something Weird video's dvdr release of the Filipino/US film WONDER WOMEN (1973) and wrote about it in February 2011. Bruce Holecheck commented that Code Red were going to give the film a proper release on dvd and blu-ray.

I quite like the film and have been waiting impatiently for Bill Olsen to get his finger out his arse and release this cool Filipino film (along with the wild Filipino/US production RAW FORCE which Code Red also announced many, many moons ago!). Then about a month ago, Bill Olsen posted on his blog that Code Red were going to chuck everything else aside because they (i.e. he) were going to concentrate only on the WONDER WOMEN release! And the reason? Apparently another video label in the US, Fred Olen Ray's Retromedia, were also planning to release the film!

I've been trying to follow this confusing mess on Facebook and where ever else in Cyberspace there's been news about it, and it appears that both labels somehow have gained copyrights for the film! So as of right now, it seems we can expect a dvd release of WONDER WOMEN from both Retromedia and Code Red! The cover posted here is for the Retromedia release. I haven't seen a cover for the Code Red dvd yet. I must admit Retromedia's cover looks pretty fucken awesome! The extras sound great too:

16x9 35mm HD transfer
Commentary Track by director Bob O'Neil
Super 8mm Home Movies behind the scenes in Manila
Radio Spots
TV Spots
Theatrical Trailer
European scenes missing from US theatrical
and more...

The only Code Red extras that I'm aware of is the commentary track that was mentioned on their blog and which features director O'Neil with Nathaniel Thompson (it's a different track than the one for the Retromedia dvd).


Here are some screen grabs from the SWV dvdr:

Aenigma! #1

I kinda had to check with the reality people if I was still in 2013 or if I had somehow got thrown back to the early 1990s when I received this yesterday!!! Occasionally there's still being published new fanzines "kinda like" the old ones... but they're NOT quite like the old ones. They're written on computers and they're printed properly and they have pictures in perfect quality and they're in colour. Nigel Maskell's new gore flick zine AENIGMA! is written on a typewriter, the reviews are cut out with a pair of scissors and are glued into the pages the old-skool way!! Most of the pictures are covered up and you can't see what they hell they are. This is awesome!! Hell, for a moment there I thought he had copied my own 20 year old zine BANNED IN BRITAIN but, nope, all his own!! (Nigel DID tell me he's read the old BIB's and got inspired which is awesome. Imagine being able to inspire someone 20 yrs after you've done whatever you did). AND THE PRICE IS OLD-SKOOL TOO. £2!! Issue #2 is already in the works and even covers our great national pride, Bodil Joensen. Good on ya, Nigel!


You can order the mag via AENIGMA!'s facebook page. The price is £2 + postage (to Euroland it's 4 quid in total).

A new casa for SOMETHING WEIRD VIDEO

There's a new SOMETHING WEIRD VIDEO website in town!! I just received a couple of email notifications about their new site and I thought I might as well post about it here as I have always had a weak spot for this multo cool'o label. Yes, they are bootleggers and yes their dvd-r's are crappy (cos the glue on the stickers ruin the discs!!) but, hell, they love old psychotronic movie and so do we here at the ol'e Lejemorder mansion (yes, that's a royal "we"!).

I haven't really checked out the new site but one thing I noticed is that they advertise they're now taking international orders. Holy mackerel, Batman! I guess that means those of us who are doomed to live out here in the Cursed Earth (i.e. opposite of living in God's own country) are finally allowed to place orders officially! Hee-haw!!

At the old site you could also order from overseas but it was tricky as you had to order thru old-skool emails and pay directly into their PayPal account. Anyhoo, it looks good. Check it out.
