I have an old VHS episode of the Super Mario Brothers show (remember, the one that was live action _and_ cartoon? The plot: King Koopa steals some super sushi and eats it, becoming the massive Koopzilla. He then proceeds to terrorize Tokyo. Only Mario can stop him. How? By eating super sushi himself! Crazy. ---

**The Creature that Wasn’t Nice** , aka **Starship** aka **Th Naked Space**. Leslie Nielsen, Patick MacNee, Cindy Williams, and others in aBruce Kimmel **The First Nudie Musical** sendup of **Alien**. Kimmel wrote, produced, directed, did the songs, and stars. The Creature dismembers and eats Patrick MacNee while singing “I Want to Eat your Face” (Although it doesn’t). Not the weirdest film listed here, but one of the weirdest I own. And on DVD at that! ---

If I recall correctly, its copyright is about to expire here pretty soon; maybe the Zappa family will renew it and have it released on DVD.

And it’s out on DVD, you say? I’ll have to keep an eye out once I got money. I don’t own a whole lot of weird movies, although I do enjoy goofball stuff like ‘The Creature…’ and I ADORE Fantastic Planet. Weirdest movie I want to get my hands on, however… That’d probably be [Neco z Alenky (AKA Alice)](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095715/) and [Faust](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109781/), both by Jan Svankmajer. ---

The movie [The Women](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032143/) starring Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, and Norma Shearer is truly bizarre. A group of wealthy women, who are supposed to be friends, gossiping and backstabbing and stealing one another’s husbands, spend their days shopping and getting their hair and nails done in the city. Then they all take a train to Reno and hang out at the dude ranch together. Later, there’s a fashion show-- in color, even-- filmed years later than the rest of the movie. Like the filmmakers had never been quite satisfied with the way it turned out and decided what it needed was a fashion show. Very very strange movie. ---

[QUOTE=Mr. Miskatonic] Svankmajer’s [Faust](http://imdb.com/title/tt0109781/). Trust me, its bizarre, but a good one. It pales besisdes his [Conspirators of Pleasure](http://imdb.com/title/tt0117715/). At least IMHO. One film I forgot to mention was [Songs from the Second Floor](http://imdb.com/title/tt0120263/) which is probably too Swedish for most people, but it is truly, truly bizzare. ---

> [@Mariemarie](#): > > Later, there’s a fashion show-- in color, even-- filmed years later than the rest of the movie. Like the filmmakers had never been quite satisfied with the way it turned out and decided what it needed was a fashion show. Very very strange movie. The fashion show was filmed at the same time—it wasn’t unusual to have a color “insert” reel in the early days of Technicolor. Also, _The Women_ was _not_ a documentary—even in 1939 (and 1936, when the play opened on B’way) the characters were supposed to be laughable caricatures of silly, useless, backstabbing bitches. You don’t look at _Absolutely Fabulous_ and compare Patsy and Edina to your next-door neighbors. ---

I have a copy myself as well (did you go see it at the egpytian last weekend?) Also I have this great indie film titles Ruben and Ed starring Crispen Glover and Hward Hessman. About a guy in a pyramid real estate scheme who tries to get a weird loner to come to the meeting. He instead ends up traveling out into the desert to help him bury his dead frozen cat. In the end they end up at the meeting. You can’t beat a movie that will give you such gems as “My cat can eat a WHOLE watermelon!” and “I am the king of the echo people!” ---

> [@Tapioca Dextrin](#): > > One film I forgot to mention was [Songs from the Second Floor](http://imdb.com/title/tt0120263/) which is probably too Swedish for most people, but it is truly, truly bizzare. Blessed are those who sit down. I love _Songs from the Second Floor_. That’s my kind of apocalypse. Folks have mentioned odd B horror flicks. My suggestion: _Track of the Vampire_ (AKA _Blood Bath_.) Co-directed by Jack Hill (_Spider Baby_), it’s a bit of a spooje. Although the main plot involves a Californian beatnik artist who’s “Dead Red” series of paintings is _en vogue_ and a less-popular artist who’s envy and suspicion lead him to discover that the dead women in the portraits are painted “from life,” the filmmakers made ample use of footage from a Yugoslavian vampire movie to pad out what they’d shot. So it’s part beatnik movie, part vampire movie, part _Portrait of Dorian Gray_. It feels like watching a fight between Ed Wood, Russ Meyer, and Ingmar Bergman. Or _The Mask_. (The early sixties semi-3D schlock fest.) It’s about a primitive mask which unleashes the primitive Id of whoever wears it, but is unmarred by Jim Carrey’s mugging. When it was in theatres, patrons were given a paper mask with red/blue filters for the eyes, instead of the standard paper glasses. Whenever the mask is put on in the movie, there’s a voice over which keeps saying “Put the mask on now… put the mask on now… put the mask on now…” and then you’re treated to a surrealist 3D scene that’s totally unrelated to anything in the movie proper. Spooks and the river Styx. That sort of stuff. During these pyschedelic interludes, we are given to understand that the protagonist behaves badly and blacks it out. Great fun. ---

Ahh yes another Richard Elfman goodie. Along with Forbidden zone and another weird movie i forgot to mention that I own: Shrunken Heads - 3 kids are terrorized by neighborhood gang members. They try to stand up for themselves and get killed. A friend of theirs who riuns the local newsstand was a member of the Tonton Macoute and a voodoo priest. He brings back top life their evered heads, shrinking them. Making them Shrunken headed magial zombies tho exact revenge. You have to love the young teen love scene between a girl and one of the shrunken flying heads. ---
