    Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome? Why did you watch it, Max?

      Great announcements from Mondo Macabro this month - looks like they'll be getting three pre-orders out of me, god bless 'em.

      (I've never seen 'Love Brides of the Blood Mummy' or 'The Horrible Sexy Vampire', but I think I owe it to the visitors to my home who enjoy gawping at the titles in my movie collection to pick up both, just on general principle...)

        The Horrible Sexy Vampire is one of the greatest movie titles OF ALL TIME!

                So I finally got around to watching 'Love Brides of the Blood Mummy' last night.... and what a deeply peculiar business it is. Very glad I watched it alone, as I honestly can't imagine more than about 1% of potential modern viewers would gain much enjoyment from this (and most of that 1% are probably posting here).

                It's glacially slow, with a musty, decayed colour scheme and a kind of morbid, faintly depressing atmosphere which mixes very strangely with the totally absurd plotline and lengthy scenes of gratuitous, rape-heavy, rather joyless sexploitation. Yet it's also so full of odd, inexplicable elements and moments of unintentional surrealism (as well as lots of awesome library music)... it's kind of fascinating.

                I'm also very proud of my Euro-horror taste-testing skills, because whilst watching, the comparison which kept coming to mind was Pierre Chevalier's 'Orloff Against The Invisble Man'... then this morning I start reading Pete Tombs' very well researched booklet and discover that, in all likelyhood, Chevalier probably directed at least some scenes in this one, whilst 'Orloff..'s writer Juan Fortuny was involved on the production side too. Bam! Nailed it. Just something about the hyper-specific vibe of that French/Spanish sexy/gothic early '70s interzone I suppose...

                    The retail version had appeared on Amazon.ca and I'm tempted...suspect it is the kinda movie I'll either end up really digging or being disappointed in.

                      A lot of it basically plays like a Eurocine sleaze movie directed by someone suffering from chronic depression (lots of trudging around the freezing-looking countryside in-between mechanical Mummy-rape sequences)... but if that sounds like something you can hang with, it definitely has its own weird groove.

                        Same here, for me I mostly made the comparison with the great sets and wonderfully decaying colors along with their shared quirkiness.

                        For those who are wondering if they should buy a copy based off the covers, both covers are a bit misleading IMO especially the second illustrated cover.
                        There's no actual walking, rotting dead in the film unless I somehow missed it.
                        They even made the Pharaoh(?) on the first cover look much more frightening. (again, unless I missed a moment of transformation)

                        In the end I just love how odd and beautiful these two films look, even with the hues and contrast changing every minute or so with Orloff...

                            After a second look It's Orloff that has colors and contrast all over the map to the point of being almost psychedelic due to the surviving print.
                            Love Brides really just shares in the same storyline quirkiness and similar crumbling authentic sets.

                              That's gotta be the rapiest Mummy in cinema.

                              A tale of grand castles, mummy rape and full 70s bush. Sounds like a night at the movies. However, there's a long stretch through the middle of this where we follow a hapless henchman capturing women and then bringing them back to the castle to be raped by the mummy. Rinse, repeat. At some point during that stretch I think i mentally zoned out and missed a bit. If there was anything to miss that is.

                              Needs to be watched in one of those meditative, brain entirely off, fugue states that I usually reserve for Jean Rollin movies. Think my brain was somewhere else today. Onto The Orrible Sexy Vampire.
