DOOMED CINEMA

Werewolves in Wheels (1970)

I just watched my favorite '70s movie, Werewolves on Wheels. If you haven't seen it, this one has it all: bike culture, satanism, desert roads, and a wonderful original soundtrack to match. It's hard not to fall in love with it. The acting is natural and very spontaneous. There's realistic use of drug use during a time when it was still only hinted at in drive-in flicks. And there's a kind of Tarantino-Rodriguez vibe to the second half, which the title implies (though nowhere near as disappointing as 'From Dust Till Dawn'). If you have a chance to get a hold of the DVD copy, you'll really enjoy the cinematography, something that's only somewhat appreciable through the TV rip currently available on YouTube (but curiosity seekers can definitely find a lot of satisfaction checking it out there). IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067972/

For this podcast, you'll hear audio clips from Werewolves on Wheels, along with some songs that remind me of the desert and occult rituals. Also, I've selected from the artists that appeared at this year's Psycho Las Vegas. At some point in the future, I may reprise the concept with different music and additional samples from the movie, and welcome suggestions that may be better suited to the subject matter.
