Dale (Follow That Skirt)
A new collection of rarities and lost obscurities from Something Weird Video, one of which is a forgotten TV-pilot for a sitcom called "Rosie" that involves a grown man in a dog costume going home with a young boy. Then a TV special from the 70's called "The Weird World of Weird" where host Ralph Story takes us on a guide through the world of the occult. Next is "Follow That Skirt", a short film from 1964 that follows a gender confused man as he strangles and slashes the women he hates. The compilation wraps up with some recently uncovered footage of "The Smut Peddler", a lost nudie-cutie from '65 that involves a pervy publisher and a bevy of nude models.
Dale
A rather twisted serial killer short film (26 minutes) from 1964 that managed to only play in one theatre in San Francisco. (According to Dave Friedman) The film follows a man who hates women. Why does he hate women? Because he wants to be one, that's why. There is no spoken dialogue in the film, which isn't needed because we just watch as the man follows one girl after the next. As they undress and take things easy, until the madman pounces, stabs, and strangles the women. After killing one of his victims, he makes his way to her closet and dresses in full drag and is ready to hit the town as a new woman, that is until the police show up. There isn't much to the movie but it's actually quite well done given the time it was made and doesn't shy on the nudity or the blood. (filmbizarro.com)
