Something Weird (1968)


I might watch an HG Lewis film a year- tops. But if any more of them are as fun as this one, I might watch them more often.

This hilarious gutter trash features a psychic whose disfigured face can be healed by a witch, who at first emerges as a drop-dead gorgeous blonde, but then reveals herself as the old hag she really is (actually a man in a wig), and the poor guy must be her lover to retain his good looks! Then this crazy duo are enlisted to help solve a murder....

Filmed for about 100 bucks, but still looking pretty good for what it is, this is a real treat for Halloween, and miles above the other miserable movies I've seen from its director.
