Blood Of Ghastly Horror 1971 Written by Al Adamson, Mark Eden, Chris Martino, Dick Poston and Samuel M Sherman, directed by Al Adamson. This is the third version of Psycho A Go-Go, like the second version, The Fiend With The Electronic Brain, new footage was shot for a newish version of the story that has footage from the previous two films. You can read more about the changes on the films Wikipedia page.
The film starts with a half dozen people being strangled, the last being a two header with these gormless idiots mugging to the camera.
John Carradine plays a scientist who puts a device in Roy Morton's head in the second version. Roy thanks him for making him a homicidal killer by putting John in his own machine.
New footage with Kent Taylor, Tommy Kirk and Regina Carrol was added for the third version, Tommy's a cop looking back at an old case. Tommy Kirk said he got $1000 for a couple of days work and is was the low point of his career. Sad, huh.
Like Jerry Warren and his ilk, Al and Sam should have the fleshless skull of Paul Naschy banged repeatedly on their nether regions as punishment for making these films. Psycho A Go-Go is nearly a film, they should have left it at that. Of course, they all went on to make more bad films. Don't watch them, watch something better.
