Something Weird Video (SWV)

When a group of gold prospectors decide to take the beautiful women of pleasure of the Fandango Saloon away from a lecherous gang of outlaws, the ornery crooks don’t take it so easily. Shootings and kidnappings ensue, with the gals and good guys battling against the nasty criminals.

New inmates arriving at a brutal womens prison are shown exactly what's expected of them by a succession of mean, and horny, male and female guards and other inmates.

Before the advent of modern-day pornography, a vast and rapidly-paced world of smut peddling was the norm, complete with its own secret history. This documentary reveals the untold story of American cinema's gloriously sordid cinematic past. Starting in the 1920s, expert exploiteer David F. Friedman and Henenlotter navigate us through more than five salacious decades of skin flicks. It's the true story of dirty movies, traced in elegant detail from the bizarre locations where these nudie shorts were screened to the ongoing legal battles fought by their promoters. And of course there are the stories of the innovators themselves, people who often risked their own security and livelihood to make these films, believing in some way that what they were doing wasn't a 'bad' thing - and that it could rake in some dough.

Take an outrageous ride through this wild world of exploitation films with this thoroughly entertaining documentary, HERSCHELL GORDON LEWIS – THE GODFATHER OF GORE! Featuring cult director John Waters, Drive-In Movie Critic Joe Bob Briggs, Herschell Gordon Lewis himself and a “cast of thousands,” you’ll witness the innocent bare-naked era of Nudie-Cuties before Lewis schocked the world with “Blood Feast,” the first ever gore film!

This is a video compilation of trailers from Grindhouse, horror based movies between 1950's and 70's. Includes to many - The Terrornauts, The Vampire and the Ballerina, The Devil's hand, Carnival of blood and some many, many more.

After an evening out, a hippie attempts to get her man in the mood for love. But he’s just too tired. She proceeds to use all her sexiest moves (even showing him her “tunnel of love” and making her “fun zone” more attractive with good hygiene), hoping to awaken the beast. When all else fails, she resorts to stroking his giant cock. This finally gets his attention!

Listen up, students! It’s time for another round of those watch-your-ass short subjects that you only thought were good and gone. Pay attention to this sixth volume of Classroom Scare Films and you just might learn something!

In the 1990s, Something Weird Video gifted humankind with HEY FOLKS! IT'S INTERMISSION TIME—a series of six magical VHS compilations that preserved vintage movie and drive-in ads. HEY FOLKS!

A far-out trip through two hours of psychedelic clips from 1960's hippie flicks.

There was a time when movie theaters were somewhere to spend the afternoon or a whole night. With the ads on this volume, theater owners lured us in with Christmas, New Year’s Eve and Mother's and Father’s Day promotions. There are also more locally produced ads and concession stand come-ons.

A mixed bag of wonderful intermissions, shorts, spook shows, teasers, local ads, public service announcements, and holiday promotions from the patriotic 1940s through the psychedelic 1970s! Some intermissions are the World War II sing-a-longs and war bond promotions - true American artifacts!

Wild, whacky, nostalgic intermission shorts from drive-in theatre double-bills, from the 50s, 60s and 70s! Back in the day, between the features audiences were shown short films to keep them occupied. Scores of shorts about treats at the snack bar, and lots of weird commercials!

Even more snack bar and concession stand intermissions mixed with clock countdowns, local ads and coming attraction cards from the 1950s, 60s & 70s just the way you like them! We’re serving up B-B-Q beef, delicious pizza, popcorn, sno-cones - the works!
