Phathom of the Paradise

This is so awesomely bad. I can’t believe this never crossed my radar. I don’t know whether to thank or kill the person (Lesley) who allow this movie to enter my consciousness.

Seems to be a really bad attempt at “The Rock Horror Picture Show” meets “Phathom of the Opera” meets Paul Williams?

Fun fact of the day: Paul Williams was the the Prof. Virgil, the genius orangutan, in Battle for the Planet of the Apes. He was pure 70s goodness.

    This is one of my favorite movies to watch while drunk.

    See, Julie gets it. I believe this is what I saw the first time I had hard liquor. The movie came out a couple years later.

    I saw this movie in the early 70s, and it really messed me up. I had nightmares for a while afterward.

    And then, when I was about 9, I saw this really strange movie about a bunch of bikers in England who basically come back from the dead by riding their choppers out of their graves and terrorizing people. I think that one started my years of insomnia. (PS If you anyone knows the name of that movie, I’d like to see it again. Why? Because I’m sick, that’s why.)
