Shock-O-Rama Video Party

In the 1990s, Something Weird Video hypnotized a generation of movie maniacs by unearthing the most radically surreal genre films of all time—all via the magic of VHS. SHOCK-O-RAMA VIDEO PARTY is a hallucinogenic tribute to those cathode-tube-fueled days. Featuring four regional horror-blasts—preserved from the original Something Weird S-VHS masters, as the film elements have been lost—this collection serves as a time machine to a beloved era in home video history.

THE NAKED WITCH (1961, 59 mins)
One-part documentary and all-parts unreal, this Texas-made exploration of witchcraft from Larry Buchanan (ZONTAR, THE THING FROM VENUS) is a dreamy travelogue to parts unknown.

VIOLATED (1953, 67 mins)
A pre-cursor to PSYCHO, this DIY horror-noir was filmed in the gutters of NYC and written by exploitation producer William Mishkin.

GHOSTS OF HANLEY HOUSE (1968, 85 mins)
Written, produced, and directed by one-time filmmaker Louise Sherrill, this phantasmagorical DIY version of THE HAUNTING appears uncut for the first time on widely released home video.

PASSION IN THE SUN (1964, 69 mins)
Also known as THE GIRL AND THE GEEK, this carnival-set rampager from Texas wildman Dale Berry (HOT BLOODED WOMAN) is outsider trash-art of the highest order.
