kengrI recently got prompted to go looking for old movies.

I'd seen that in the theatre and I wasn't impressed. We'd gone to see the other feature The Harrad Experiment.
So, I did some digging and found a copy of The Harrad Experiment. Fay and I watched it the other day. It was the first time I'd seen it since the theater showing. It actually held up fairly well. Kinda tame by modern standards. But Fay enjoyed it, especially the scene where the Casanova type tried making a move on the wife of the guy running things.
Anyway, I had been reminded of a few other old movies I wanted to track down. One of them was Nudist Colony of the Dead. I only knew of it because the theme song is a perennial favorite on the Dr. Demento show.
Well, luck was with me and I found it as well. Fay & I watched it last night. The opening sequence (the local Bible thumpers vs the residents of a nudist colony in court) was worth it all on its own. The movie is a musical and the songs are incredibly hokey. But fun.
Wonder of wonders, if you accept the premise (and allow for it being a comedy spoof of teen slasher movies) it even makes sense. Even the big reveal in the final scene. *Not* what we were expecting.
We thoroughly enjoyed it. I receommend it to anybodyy who wants so seriously *silly* horror, with a good dose of making fun of the nastier sort of fundamentalists.
