It is a notorious film from the early exploitation king Dwain Esper, who brought us many classic titles, such as Sex Madness, Narcotic, Reefer Madness, How To Undress In Front Of Your Husband, and Marihuana [sic]. The film's IMDb page can be found here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0025465/.

Enjoy.

This movie is in the public domain.

It is loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe's story "The Black Cat".

I posted a thread about this several months ago that raised some interest.  It's certainly interesting to see a movie from that time period with such "shocking" scenes.

Well, this film is actually "tame", compared to some of the other films from this era.

Have you ever seen The Good Old Naughty Days (2002)???

It is a collection of hardcore porn films from 1905 - 1930.

Also, it's not just a bit of nudity and dancing...  It's full-on hardcore porn.

Seriously.

In one French silent film, a group of nuns have sex with dogs... bestiality is very common in these old, silent porn films.

I'm freakin' serious.

This collection of hardcore silent porn films was VERY controversial, upon it's release.

The neighbor with the cats is way freaky, and the eating of the cat's eyeball must've been really shocking at the time.
