Satan's Bed / Scare Their Pants Off - Satan's Bed / Scare Their Pants Off - Blu-ray

Crime, kidnapping, white slavery, ritualistic cults, and other sordid activities were all fodder for the most outlandish roughies of the 1960s. Produced primarily in New York by a mix of budding filmmakers and "legit" craftspeople moonlighting in the seedier areas of cinema, these trashy tales became the bedrock of what later exploitation features would take in even more extreme directions. Distribpix Inc. + Something Weird offer the Blu-ray debut of a notorious pairing of two of the most twisted such efforts, both newly restored in 4K from their 35mm original camera negatives! In SATAN'S BED, a pre-fame Yoko Ono stars as Ito, a young Japanese woman who arrives in New York to reunite with her husband, only to discover he's gotten mixed up in a life of drugs and crime. Meanwhile, a gang of strung-out dope fiends, unable to satisfy their kicks, kidnap and torment beautiful women. A truly twisted mutant film which combines an unfinished hard-boiled crime drama with a nasty sexploitation thriller, this Michael & Roberta Findlay effort offers one sick surprise after another. In SCARE THEIR PANTS OFF, innocent young women are being drugged and kidnapped off the streets of Manhattan, only to awaken in a mysterious dark room where they are tormented by hideously deformed creatures... or are they? Combining a sex-cult oriented nudity with a crime thriller, and touches of oddball humor, this truly unique sleaze pic was the sole directing effort from John Maddox and was produced by the legendary Ron Sullivan (aka Henri Pachard).
