Ray Box Set from Arrow Films tells a pretty amazing cinematic tale. Roger Corman bought the rights to a film called OPERATION TITIAN before it was made. But after seeing the film, he was dissatisfied with it, so it underwent numerous transformations through the next few years and was released under different titles. Last time, I checked out OPERATION TITIAN and PORTRAIT IN TERROR, two films that focused on a cursed painting and a murderous artist. These flawed films made way for Corman to redo the story over again with BLOOD BATH (which was released a year after PORTRAIT IN TERROR was in theaters), this time tossing a vampire into the mix to see if that would get folks to see it. In BLOOD BATH, there is still a painting, an artist, and a gal being obsessed over, but while there are a few scenes taken from PORTRAIT IN TERROR and OPERATION TITIAN, the film is basically a new film made by SPIDER BABY director Jack Hill and Stephanie Rothman. It is rumored that all of the quirky art stuff was from the twisted mind of Hill, while some of the creepier vampire stuff was from Rothman. While it still manages to tell a tale of obsession in the art world, this one focuses on Antonio (William Campbell), an artist who turns into a vampire once his libido is sparked by any woman he comes into contact with. A rival artist provides some commentary about the absurdity of modern art appreciation while trying to get to the bottom of Antonio’s Red Dead Nudes paintings, which are taking the art world by storm. I liked this version of the film much better than the previous two. While the first two films seem to want to say something about art, obsession, and love, Hill adds the pretentiousness to the artists that the previous films lack. Hill, whose absurdist takes can be seen throughout SPIDER BABY, handles the vapid nature of artwork with a tongue planted in his cheek and even brings his SPIDER BABY cast member Sid Haig along as part of the peanut gallery who are bowled over by the most inane pieces of artwork. There’s also a pretty horrifying final sequence as the dead bodies covered in wax inexplicably revive themselves and attack their murderer. What began as a thriller with only hints of horror in OPERATION TITIAN, has morphed into a true horror film in BLOOD BATH. TRACK OF THE VAMPIRE only adds a bit more from previous incarnations of the film to extend the film by about ten minutes. There’s a longer dance sequence, a conversation between characters that is lifted from PORTRAIT IN TERROR at the nightclub which opened that film, and an extended few minutes of footage of the vampire stalking his prey on a beach. The beach chase is rather pointless as the girl really doesn’t have anything to do with the plot and though it is a vampire chasing the gal, it’s obviously a daylight scene, which doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense. The chase, which goes from land to the beach and even to an undersea wrestling match, is rather exciting, but still seems out of place in the less- action centric story we see for the rest of the film. This may, though, be the only film to ever depict a vampire drinking blood from his victim underwater (he does it twice in this film, actually). This version neither really adds or detracts from the film, but only adds to the body count and most likely makes the film more suitable to be shown on television (so that Corman could get a few more bucks out of this film. Still these added scenes make for a more fleshed out movie and it feels like with TRACK OF THE VAMPIRE, Corman finally gets the movie he wanted to make. It’s more along the lines of another Corman film A BUCKET OF BLOOD, which has a similar message to tell about how idiotic art appreciation can be at times and how the artist is most often full of shit and not even aware of what makes his artwork sing to the masses. Stories such as these (which reminds me of the KIDNAPPED COED/AXE films by Frederick R. Friedel which were edited together to make one single Grindhouse opus called BLOODY BROTHERS) make me miss the anything goes antics of drive- in theaters where the same film makes the rounds under different titles through the span of time. Along with the four films in this Limited Edition Blu. Ray Box set there is also a visual essay called “The Trouble with Titian” which talks about the rocky production history of the films, an interview with actor Sid Haig, an interview with SPIDER BABY director Jack Hill, outtakes, stills, a booklet of stills and interviews about the various productions, and a wicked ass poster. All of it, most likely, better more than this feature deserves, but still a thorough coverage of the film nevertheless. Retro- review: New this week on Blu. Ray from Kino Lorber! REALLY WEIRD TALES (1. Directed by Don Mc.

Retro- reviewed by Mark L. Miller aka Ambush Bug. Seeing stars in their formative years as entertainers is always kind of fun, and while none of the three tales featured in the HBO anthology mini series REALLY WEIRD TALES are particularly great, they do exude a type of fun that makes them more watchable than enjoyably watchable. Segment one, “Cursed with Charisma.” features the late, great John Candy, and it pretty much is as good as this three part anthology gets. This is all because of Candy’s performance as a silver haired swindler who convinces the town to get involved in real estate, though his get- rich- quick schemes don’t really take into account taxes. Candy is given some great moments to shine here, evoking James Brown as his henchman tosses a cape over him as he collapses after a speech, only to toss the cape off again and talk some more. If there is an episode worth seeking out, this is the one, simply because there are so few Candy performances that haven’t been played and the man really was a gift to comedy who passed too soon.”I’ll Die Loving” takes second place in this collection as Catherine O’Hara plays an orphaned girl who is cursed to destroy anything she ever loves. Raised in a convent by mean nuns, she is set out on the street to fend for herself and gets a job in a complaint office in a department store so she can’t have feelings for anyone in this aggressive environment. A lecherous co- worker and an overly nice boss end up the target for her affections even though she tries not to feel anything for them. This one earns it’s REALLY WEIRD TALES moniker as the ending comes out of the blue and really is pretty weird and random. I liked this one, if only because of the odd sense of humor this one possesses. The last installment, “All’s Well That Ends Strange,” is the worst of the bunch, mainly because it’s Martin Short doing an annoying Jerry Lewis like performance the whole time. Short plays a lounge singer who never made it big, but he is invited to a Playboy Mansion- style home to perform and thinks its his big break. After the performance he meets the woman of his dreams (Olivia d’Abo). Of course, there’s a twist and this one is rather predictable all the way through. And while there have been times when Short has entertained me, he is particularly grating here, making this my least favorite of the three.
