Horror movies infested with hippies -- in honor of Raffine

[Raffine]

"Werewolf of Woodstock":  My wife constantly talks about this film, supposedly one of the very first films shot entirely on the brand-new format of video tape, supposedly even before Frank Zappa shot "200 Motels" on tape -- Has anyone here actually seen it?

Last I looked, there weren't even copies of it for sale on E-Bay.  Very very few people have even heard of it, much less have a copy.  Even Video Station in Boulder, Colorado, with 50,000 plus titles, doesn't have it.

I actually saw WEREWOLF OF WOODSTOCK when it premiered on ABC - I'm thinking it was on one of their late night programs and not during prime time. It's pretty funny - a farmer who lives near the site of Woodstock gets struck by lightning and so naturally loud rock n roll music makes him turn into a blood-thirsty werewolf who likes to eat hippies.

Produced by Dick Clark.

Shocking Videos has it. Here's their surprisingly profanity-free description:

THE WEREWOLF OF WOODSTOCK (75) In the aftermath of the Woodstock Festival a disgruntled blue collar type (played by Tige Andrews, Capt. Greer from The Mod Squad) goes looking for leftover hippies during a lightning storm. He gets struck by a stray bolt while screaming "Freaks! Miserable freaks!" and is transformed into, you guessed it, The Werewolf of Woodstock. Executive produced by Dick Clark for ABC's Wide World of Entertainment and co-starring "big name" celebs like Michael Parks (Then Came Bronson), Andrew Stevens (Massacre at Central High), and Meredith McCrae (Petticoat Junction) this stupefyingly BAD TV-movie looks like it was staged and shot with all the care and craftsmanship of a Mexican soap opera! Gives new meaning to the term "howler."

Shocking Video has lots of great stuff, by the way.

I myself have ordered from them several times. 

I recall seeing it too!And,yes...it came on at about 11:30 at night! I have an old CASTLE of FRANKENSTIEN mag that has a full page pic from it...I'll have to dig it out and upload the pic!

Cool! Castle of Frankenstein was a great magazine. Slightly more "serious" than FM.

I watched the clip I posted and I had forgotten about the werewolf driving around in that groovy red dune buggy.

I wish I had a groovy red dune buggy.

Here's a few more obscure Hippie horrors...
Roger Corman's 1971 GAS-S-S!  Everyone over 25 dies from a poison gas leak. Oh joy.

Very much thankyou for the Werewolf info!  Don't know if I want to spend $17 for something I may not look at more than once, but it would make a nice surprise for Dixie . . .

The Godmonster of Indian Flats features a hippie-dippy chick dancing with the title "monster."

How about the original Wicker Man? It's full of folk music and free love and an isolated community of people living in harmony with nature, according to the old pagan ways. I'd call it a hippy horror movie. Just look at this:

I always thought the WICKER MAN to be a hippie horror flik as well. It don't get much hippy dippy than folk music.

What I wanna know-where can a person get a copy of DR.FRANKENSTIEN ON CAMPUS? and when was it renamed FLICK? And why?

Thou Shalt Not Kill....Except Sam Raimi plays a Charlie Manson type leading a band of murderous hippies, in a early scene the take out a family of campers with lawn darts! Great flick.

And then there is "Son Of Blob" with Cindy Williams as a stoner/hippie.
