Some titles are just f**king cool.
Movies- maybe not so much.
THE EARTH DIES SCREAMING (1964) is a very nihilistic title. I love it! The movie was actually good too!

I EAT YOUR SKIN (1970) is really the 1964 movie ZOMBIE, but was not released untill 1970 on a double bill with I DRINK YOUR BLOOD, which is a fantastic f**ked up movie about insane, blood drinking, rabid Mansonites!

You have not lived until you've seen that movie dubbed into Italian 😂😂
at the time (1960) I guess PSYCHO must've seemed like quite a daringly confrontational name for a movie? and it probably opened the door for more similarly blunt titles
had it come out just a few years earlier you could imagine it being called 'THE TWISTED INDISCRETIONS OF AN INSANE MOTEL PROPRIETOR' or something
edit - just remembered it's directly lifted from the book title, lol

Me after my first acne treatment in the 1980s :buggedout: :wink:
Cocaine Bear :teddyr: :teddyr:
The Gods Must Be Crazy :teddyr:
Nude for Satan
BLOOD OF GHASTLY HORROR (1971) is a totally meaningless title for a totally meaningless movie!

I found Motel Hell amusing when I was a kid, and the way they incorporated the broken neon sign....
And, Ivan And The Terribles. He-he-he...
HORROR OF THE BLOOD MONSTERS (1970)
Another Al Adamson title that is comprised of catch words-"Horror", "Blood", "Monsters"!

Eyes Of Fire (1983)
It was mostly the plain B&W hand drawn cover art that kept catching my eye every time I browsed past it in the old video store... The description had me expecting some sort of Eurotrash & not a tale of Puritans dealing with bad make-up & spontaneous combustion.....

Dammit, now I have to see this. :teddyr:
The Witchmaker (1969), AKA The Witchmaster, AKA The legend of Witch Hollow, AKA The Naked Witch....
Saw the title in my TV Guide, & had to set my VCR...
Can't tell y' much about it, because I never really sat through it, but apparently, several women are murdered somewhere in the Louisiana swamps, so instead of the cops, they send a team of psychic researchers....
The most interesting scene, (for my younger self, at least) is when one of the female characters is shown running semi-nude on looped footage in slow motion...
I read somewhere that one of the actors went on to become a governor or something....
Caged Terror
Golden Apples of the Sun (1973), AKA Ever After All, AKA Caged Terror
Saw the box for Caged Terror at the video store back in the early '90s, with the picture of a busty, wily eyed woman with big hair & too much eye make up, whom it turns out, isn't in the movie, just on the VHS box....
Turned out to be some pretentious art flick about a pair of city kids who go on a trip to the forest to "get to know each other", then encounter a pair of hippies who've been squatting at the cabin they're staying at...
Lots of gratuitous nudity in a gratuitous sex scene near the beginning...
Astonishing Tales of Terror: Rocktap***y.
INFLATABLE SEX DOLL OF THE WASTELANDS (1967)
Yes, that's a real title. A Japanese film.
