'70s Horror and Sci-Fi • Alabama's Ghost [Fredric Hobbs 1973]

One more final quote [for tonight, anyway!] from my dear pal Emma Haines, with whom I run and enjoy a fortnightly online viewing club entitled "Get The Honrons On" Our catchphrase is "we watch 'em so you don't have to", and in this particular case, my Gawd did that apply. A shame, because I'm a sucker for a good Blaxploitation chiller [BLACULA, JD'S REVENGE, ABBY, SUGAR HILL, HOUSE ON SKULL MOUNTAIN, GANJA AND HESS, DR BLACK AND MR HYDE, LORD SHANGO etc] and really hoped this would be another title to add to the list: it wasn't. Take it awaaayyy [as far away as possible would be good] Miss H: 

"Tonight's masterpiece was anything but: in fact I think it may have taken the crown for the worst film I've ever seen. Well, this week anyway, though I'm sure the two of us will happen upon another one sooner or later.. Seriously, it's even worse than The Texas Dildo Masquerade, infamous for that bit with Ron Jeremy's crusty sperm   Ghostly magicians, vampires, Nazis, voodoo, robots, bikers, odd interludes of psychedelic jazz funk fusion for no reason, an elephant: it sounds brilliant, but it's really not."

I don't know how, but she's gawn an' done it again: I seriously couldn't have put it ANY better myself, although I freely admit I did have a ball watching it. As to whether I would ever care to repeat the experience, however...can I come back to you on that one? Let's just say that at this very moment, I'm NOT Alabammy-bound.
