Grindhouse legend Zebedy Colt was no stranger to the special alchemy of adult films and humor. A child prodigy,
Colt claimed to have begun his career acting in screen comedies with the likes of Charlie Chaplain and The Marx
Brothers. It was during the early 1970s, however, that Colt first drifted into the demimonde of New York
grindhouse involved with such films as Sherlick Holmes, The Farmer's Daughters, Unwilling
Lovers, The Devil Inside Her and Virgin Dreams.
Synopsis: Chuck and Barney, two loveable but lazy telephone repairmen, are sent off to the airport to repair
an in-plane phone. Barney tries his best not to give in to wanderlust, but finally succumbing to the urge to
travel, he pushes Chuck into the luggage compartment and the two stow away on a private jet only to parachute
into Munich, Germany. With fourteen dollars to their name and a craving for hot and cold running fraüleins,
they set out in search of jobs. They first find work in a beer hall where Chuck gets to serve bratwurst to a
hungry blonde. From there the duo become security guards to Miss Bavaria, followed by a stint in a strip club
where they run afoul of the local mafia kingpin. Ending up in a college sorority house that turns out to be a
high-class brothel, Chuck and Barney have no trouble getting into more trouble. Further screw-ups send them
running to the Bavarian Alps where they crash a party at a beautiful chalet and make the scene and get it on and
on, and on! - with an assortment of beautiful women before running into the mafia bad boys again.
DVD includes:
· Feature film Playgirls of Munich (1977)

Grindhouse Occult Double Feature
2-DVD Set Released May 6, 2008!

This double-barreled dose of DVD decadence contains two of the Seventies grindhouse's more entertaining cult
classics, chock-a-block full of strange rituals, brainwashed babes, and hot and horny lovin'. Not recommended
for the highly suggestible (or for the feint of heart), get ready to relinquish your soul to the forces of
occult sexual madness!
Sins of Reverend Star (1976) — Employing a strange, hypnotic amulet, male members of Reverend Star's
cabal lure women into erotic encounters, sometimes staged in elaborate ceremonies inside the organization's
lair. In the hopes of discovering the source of Star's mysterious power, a police detective and his female
sidekick attempt to infiltrate the group's inner circle. Naturally, his sexy sidekick winds up ensnared in the
cult's clutches, but the cop manages to expose the Reverend for the charlatan he really is.
Night of Submission (1976) - A reporter (Carter Stevens) is writing an exposé on a voodoo cult he has
just discovered operating out of a New York bar. Inside the cult's lair, ritual whippings are elaborately
staged in candlelight, followed by nightlong orgies. Going undercover, the reporter begins to participate in
these insidious rituals. After an evening of sadomasochistic debaucheries, however, he discovers that the
powers of voodoo have a way of keeping the uninitiated from exposing its decadent secrets. Features New York
heavyweight Vanessa Del Rio, Crystal Sync, Heather Madigan, and Annie Sprinkle.
2-DVD set includes booklet with liner notes!

[Sheena] was created in 1938 by Jerry Iger and Will Eisner (the latter would be
regarded, via his comic strip "The Spirit", as the Orson Welles of comic books) and, in
1942, became the first female character to have her own comic book, predating Wonder
Woman by three months. Sheena's popularity spawned many imitators – remember Cave Girl?

The Syn
The Syndestructible Tour DVD

|
 |
Chris Squire, Steve Nardelli, and Alan White in a live
performance at the Somerville Theatre in Cambridge,
Massachusetts on January 19th, 2006.
In 1965, the members of The Syn met at the crossroads of
'60s psychedelia and pop, performing at London's legendary
Marquee club with the likes of Pink Floyd and Hendrix, and
recording a handful of underground classics ("Flowerman",
"14 Hour Technicolour Dream"). Then, just as quickly, they
were gone.
A surprise reunion four decades later saw them record
their first-ever album of new material --
Syndestructible -- and hit the road for a few
intimate live dates in the US… another first. This show,
recorded at Boston's historic Somerville Theater on a cool
winter's night in January, finds the band in remarkable
form. Featuring original Syn vocalist Steve Nardelli
alongside the stellar rhythm section of Syn co-founder Chris
Squire (bass) and drummer Alan White (partners in the classic
rock supergroup Yes), this DVD captures the band as they give
a majestic performance of material new and old, adding an
important new chapter to the history of one of art-rock's
great (and nearly lost) treasures.
