70s Horror Hoodies
Description: Inspired by the 1977 off-the-wall Japanese horror movie "House" or "Hausu" "ハウス" The film stars mostly amateur actors with only Kimiko Ikegami and Yōko Minamida having any notable previous acting experience. The film is about a schoolgirl traveling with her six classmates to her ailing aunt's country home, where they come face to face with supernatural events as the girls are, one by one, devoured by the home.
Description: On Saturday, January 9, 1971, after weeks of attention-grabbing teasers (like giant chickens fleeing with the host), the Bob Wilkins hosted horror movie program Creature Features debuted on Oakland's KTVU 2 at 9:00 pm. Kicking off with 'The Horror of Party Beach,' the show was an immediate hit and became a ratings winner, so the show expanded to a double feature format on August 7, 1971. While the movies ranged from campy to downright terrible, it was Wilkins' dry wit that made the show work. With his droll humor, omnipresent cigar, and iconic rocking chair, he played the role of an aficionado with a taste for genre cinema. The show was so popular in the Bay Area that it would often beat network programming which probably blew some minds.
Description: Trog is a 1970 British science fiction horror film directed by Freddie Francis, and starring Joan Crawford in a story about the discovery of a troglodyte (or Ice Age "caveman") in twentieth-century England. The screenplay was written by Peter Bryan, John Gilling, and Aben Kandel. Trog marks Crawford's last motion picture appearance.
