Psychotronic Movie of the Week: Night Tide (1961)
NIGHT TIDE
1961
American International Pictures
United States
Producer: Aram Kantarian
Director: Curtis Harrington
An excellent low-budget fantasy (?) with Dennis Hopper as a sailor on leave in a small California seaside resort. He becomes obsessed with an orphaned girl (Linda Lawson) who plays a mermaid at a sideshow. She believes herself to be a descendant of the "sea people" and must kill during the full moon. Avant-garde director Curtis Harrington did this odd CAT PEOPLE-inspired movie after making a series of experimental shorts. He's now known as a TV horror-film director and seems to have lost most of what made NIGHT TIDE so memorable. Co-star Luana Anders later starred in Coppola's DEMENTIA 13. With Gavin Muir and Bruno Ve Sota.

Charles Beesley writes in The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film:
Really grimy obscene phone call chiller with a New York discotheque background, Busboy Sal Mineo, guardian to a brain-damaged sister, writhes in bed while club hostess/deejay Juliet Prowse worries on the other end of the line. Jan Murray of th vice squad tries to investigate and acts so creepy that Juliet thinks he's the maniac. With Frank Campanella, Margot Bennett, and Elaine Stritch as Juliet's lesbian boss, who tries to help in her own way. Title song and discotheque hits written by Al Kasha and Bob Gaudio (of the Four Seasons).

Exotica Women - Ethereal Sounds, Jungle Rhythms! Crayons to Perfume!
It really all started with airplanes. They made way for world wide exploration, the fantasy of it all captured on film - musical scores and eventually moved just to music. A simple album that could be played at home, while one enjoyed an evening cocktail with feet propped up on their recliner in the comfort of one's own living room. Music, that could carry one from the orient, to the jungle, to outer space, and then down to exotic South American locations and back again. Men usually led the orchestras but there were a few women instrumentalists and female voices and many uncredited singers who helped create these beautifully lush layered sounds. Eventually these international sounds snuck into Rock'n'Roll, and today on Crayons to Perfume! we hear it all. So come go with me on an adventure around the world, following the ladies who made the often quirky, weird, and wonderful sounds - Exotica Women! Listen here at 7pm tonight!

Psychotronic Movie of the Week: The Atomic Brain (aka Monstrosity) (1963)
THE ATOMIC BRAIN (aka MONSTROSITY)
1963
Emerson Films
Produced by Jack Pollexfen & Dean Dillman, Jr., Directed by Joseph V. Mascelli
United States
Michael J. Weldon writes in the Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film:
The cinematographer of the THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES and other Ray Dennis Steckler films steps out and makes his own cheap horror film. A wealthy widow hires a mad doctor to transfer her brain into a beautiful young body. Three young European girls are imported as candidates, but the doctor and his mutant assistant stray from their mission. Two girls become zombies and the third has a cat's brain placed in her head! You won't believe it! Meeeoooow!
