Severin Films announced today that it is teaming up with Something Weird Video to release new editions of some of the more provocative titles from the latter's catalog. The first release to emerge from this
collaboration is a double-feature set with
Mondo Freudo (1966) and
Mondo Bizarro (1966), which will be available for purchase during Black Friday.
Synopsis: Armed with hidden cameras, infra-red film and plenty of naked women, the guys who made
House on Bare Mountain go sociologically insane with
Mondo Bizarro and
Mondo Freudo, two hilariously sex-crazed shockumentaries from the Swinging Sixties that run the gamut from the real to the unreal to the downright surreal! Witness the orgiastic excesses of a Voodoo ritual "held every Thursday night" in the Bahamas, and Puerto Rican black mass performed "just 17 blocks off Times Square!" Gawk as beautiful Asian strippers are whipped and clawed for the amusement of a blasé audience at a Japanese nightclub "dedicated to sadism!" Cringe as a creepy guy named Jack Schwartz proves he can't bleed by lying on a bed of rusty carpentry nails, then gleefully jamming one through his mouth! Marvel at the wild underworld of underwear with a peek at Frederick's of Hollywood naughty mail-order lingerie and big-breasted gals trying on brassieres in a Chicago department store!
Plus: Lesbian prostitutes in London, male hustlers in L.A., topless bars in Tijuana, and even an "Arab slave auction" held right in front of Robot Monster's Bronson Canyon cave! They're all here and more in
Mondo Bizarro and
Mondo Freudo, the mutant mondo double feature that asks the question: "How do you know what is beyond the Beyond? For that matter, do you even know what is behind the Beyond?"
