Django Nudo is a hoarse host but he and the Smut Peddler still relish the opportunity to spread some Halloween horror that Cultpix members might not be familiar with, as there is 10 films to fright and delight this week. First there is a rant about why we are not fans of horror sequels and franchises, which is one of the reasons you will only find film made before 1990 on Cultpix (with some exceptions). So enjoy "Halloween XXVIII" in cinemas, but don't forget about the all great horror films still to be discovered. Speaking off which..."Alice, Sweet Alice" (1976) is worth watching for more than just being Brooke Shields' big screen debut. This proto-slasher inspired by "Don't Look now" (1973) is about a disturbed young girl who may be responsible for a series of stabbings, including that of her younger sister. "Possibly the closest American relation to an Italian giallo," according to Ed Gonzalez and ranked the fourth-best slasher film of all time by Complex magazine in 2017. "Kids Shouldn't Play With Dead Things" (1972) sees actors go to an island where criminally insane are buried. Maybe not the best place to perform necromantic rituals that bring the dead back to life. Directed by famed horror director Bob Clark who later did "Black Christmas", "A Christmas Story", and "Porky's." A comedy-horror film that has genuinely creepy atmosphere. "Beast of the Yellow Night" (1971) is Filipino/American horror film, which has the distinction of being on Garth's wall in "Wayne's World". Beat that for obscure pop reference! "Blood and Lace" (1971), not to be confused with the Mario Bava "Blood and Black Lace", is an American proto-slasher that looks like it inspired "Halloween" and "Nightmare on Elm Street." Orphan teenage girl arrives in a remote orphanage run by a madwoman (Gloria Grahame, who came out of retirement for this film) and her handyman, both of them sadistic child murderers."Billy the Kid versus Dracula" and "Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter" (1966) were popular drive-in double bill. This rare MWU (monsters western universe) sub-genre sees gunslingers confront horror icons.  Both films were shot in eight days at Corriganville Movie Ranch and at Paramount Studios and were the final feature films of director William 'One-take' Beaudine. "Pigs" (1973) is the first in the animals-eat-humans double-bill, with pigs developing a taste people, while "The Corpse Grinders" (1971) sees corpses used for cat food, only for kittens to develop a taste for human flesh. It also has the most gratuitous poster of all ten films. "Monsters Crash the Pajama Party" (1965) is an interactive horror films where the monsters would come off the screen and kidnap women in the audience, who then appear on-screen. You get a good idea of what it must have been like to watch it in cinemas. Great fun form Something Weird Video."Besökarna/The Visitors" (1988) is that rare beast - a Swedish haunted house film, restored by the Swedish Film Institute with some impressive acting talent. We end with the track "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things" by Finnish heavy/doom metal band Wolfshead. Happy Halloween!

Django Nudo and the Smut Peddler start on a somber note with the recent death of friend and colleague Michele de Angelis at the age of just 56. Together with Simone ("Ciao Simone,") he was the driving force behind Rome's Fantafestival, where he interviewed Smut Peddler this summer in connection with the Calvin Floyd retrospective. RIP.Our next two cinema screenings will be a Sex Education double-bill at Stockholm's Bio Aspen on  Monday 25 October with Mariah Larsson introducing "The Language of Love" (1969) and "More From the Language of Love" (1970), newly restored by the Swedish Film Institute.In the UK Everyman Cinemas will play also-restored "Anita - Swedish Nymphet" (1972) on 18 November with Christina Lindberg to appear in person at Everyman Broadgate and Screen on the Green on the Friday. Get a chance to see, meet and hear from the greatest Swedish exploitation star of all time. This week Cultpix goes late night, double feature, sci-fi picture show with Planet Schmanet Janet. As everyone from Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson to William Shatner boldly going where a handful of men have already gone before, we look at the fascination of trips to other planets in our solar system. Fuelled by the Cold War rivalry between USA and USSR before, these days Russians are putting film directors and actresses into orbit to beat Hollywood and Tom Cruise to it. "Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet" (1965) and "Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women" (1967) were both based on footage and special effects from the Soviet sci-fi film "Planet of Storms" (1962) that Roger Corman pilfered and shot new scenes and English dialogue for, in the latter case with an un-credited Peter Bogdanovich directing Mami Van Doren. All three are available to watch and compare on Cultpix. "The Phantom Planet" (1961) sees astronauts arrive on an asteroid and shrink to tiny size - much like Smut Peddler when he swims in a cold Swedish lake. Italian sci-fi "Cosmos: War of the Planets" (1977) was released the same year as Star Wars, but looks much older and more primitive. Honourable mention to older titles already on Cultpix: BFI's "Masters of Venus" (1962), "Zontar: the Invader from Venus" (1967), "Battle for the Lost Planet" (1986) and the sequel "Mutant War" (1988), both from Vinegar Syndrome.Finally, "Horrors of the Red Planet" (1965) is basically The Wizard of Oz on Mars, including an astronaut Dorothy with silver shoes, while "The Day Mars Invaded Earth" (1962) is a rare independent film shot in Cinemascope. Who needs a rocket with out-of-the-world films like this

Django Nudo and the Smut Peddler celebrate the first #CultpixIRL cinema screening this past week at Bio Aspen, the groovy new retro cinema in Stockholm's new hipster district.  It was a double bill of "Anita - Swedish Nymphet" (1973) and "Kyrkoherden / The Lustful Vicar" (1970), both beautifully restored by the Swedish Film Institute. Guest of honour was Christina 'Anita' Lindberg herself and the authors of the book 'Frigjorda Tider' ('Liberated Times'), who talked about the period when these films were released, a time when "porn became culture and culture became porn."Sticking with the theme of culture and porn, DN and SP discuss the Cultpix Theme Week of Literally Erotic Women. Adapting classics of literature for provided good plots, a veneer of highbrow credibility and - best of all - they were out of copyright and the authors were too dead to complain about having their works adapted with lots of boobs, bums and other bits. Chief amongst these literary smut auteurs was Mac Ahlberg, who as Bert Torn, directed six literary adaptations that can be streamed on Cultpix now, including John Cleland's "Fanny Hill" (1968) and "Jorden runt med Fanny Hill / Around the World With Fanny Hill" (1974); Anonymous' "Flossie" (1974); Marqis de Sade's "Justine & Juliette" (1975); Daniel Defoe's Moll Flanders adaptation "Molly" (1977, aka "Sex in Sweden") and Guy de Maupassant's "Bel Ami" (1977).We discuss the stars who appeared in many of these, including the lovely Maria Forså (who apparently didn't fake it), Harry Reems and how he ended up in Sweden, the on-stage sex real life couple Jack and Kim Frank, plus the director Torgny Wickman, who insisted " on painting every clit a little pinker immediately before each take.'"There is also the early US nudie cutie "Kipling's Women" (1961), which was said to be based on "A Picturization of Rudyard Kipling's Immortal Poem---The Ladies," with the priceless tagline 'They Wear Only the Wind!'. And to prevent projectionists from cutting out the nudie bits of the 35mm prints, you could send of for free photos of the six lovely ladies in questions. Finally there is also the Austro-Hungarian turn-of-the-century smut classic Josephine Mutzenbacher, with two of the dozen adaptations available on Cultpix: "Naughty Knickers/Josefine Mutzenbacher" (1970) and "Don't Get Your Knickers in a Twist/Josefine Mutzenbacher II - Meine 365 Liebhaber" (1971). Many of these films are available too in multiple English, French, German and Swedish dub. So you can not only refine your cultural credentials, but also your linguistic one, by watching these films. Just like you used to read Playboy for the articles. 

It's Django Nudo and Snot Peddler this week, as Smutty battles a non-Covid cold. Exciting Cultpix events in Stockholm around this weekend. First there is the book launch today (27 August) in Stockholm of "Frigjorda Tider", the book that blows the lid on sex and pornogrpahy in Sweden during the 1960s and 1970s. Yes, Sweden had a 'sexy' reputation, but in some way it went much further than anyone suspected. This book uncovers those sins. Then on Monday 30 August we kick off the inaugural double bill screening  at Bio Aspen, with "Christina - Swedish Nymph" (1972) and "The Lustful Vicar" (1970), both of them beautifully restored by the Swedish Film Institute and shown for the first time in this way on the big screen. But if you don't live in Stockholm, fear not, we will be bringing these films to cinemas in other cities and other countries too.  We review the crop of new films, including slasher-with-cool-score "Fatal Games" (1984), Texan time travel indie "The Yesterday Machine" (1965), Ida Lupino's noir masterpiece "The Hitch-Hiker " (1953), and the strange Lynchian-Tetsuo Swedish horror short "Spik-bebis" (1987).The big topic this week is secret agent comedy TV show "Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp" (1971). It is James Bond/Man from U.N.C.L.E./Get Smart/Mission Impossible crossed with The Monkees, with all parts played by chimps and dubbed by humans. We discussed how this amazing piece of television history ever got made, who composed the music how it could come back today and play lots of clips from the great soundtrack with the Evolution Revolution band and the secret agent playlist. Suaver than Daniel Craig, funnier than Roger Moore, hairier than Sean Connery, you will not want to miss the adventures of Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp.  

The 10th episode of Cultpix Radio WCPX 66.6 Smut Pedler and Django Nudo (with a faulty microphone - sorry)  take a journey into the psychedelic 60s and 70s of drugs films, celebrate Cultpix now being open for everyone to join and look at the new films on the site.Cultpix radio has been open to the general public for a week and with the exception of being pulled into the global Firstly outage (in good company with Spotify and CNN) things have been going moothly and the feedback has been encouraging. We look at how Netflix and others are copying us in terms of moving into merchandise, podcasts, celebrity birthdays and more - because clearly nobody was doing it before us (-;Cultpix has sold out and become part of the establishment as Swedish Film Institute has awarded us a grant to enable us to do more innovative stuff. We dive back into what drugs does to filmmaking. This is your cinema brain on drugs part 2: First we do an Alice double bill. Alice in Acidland who "travels through the dark and endless caverns of Acidland. The place for her is no fairytale." But it does features lesbian seduction and hippie nudity and sex. Meanwhile the short Curious Alice was produced by a US government agency  to warn eight-year olds about the dangers of drugs but ends up being a trippy and fun Terry Gilliam-esque animation. A trio of films from our friends Something Weird video all tap into the drug/hippie hysteria of the late 1960s. Psychadelic Sexkicks, Wild Hippie Party, The Acid Eaters. On the more serious end Alex de Renzy's Weed looks at the whole political, legal and cultural ecosystem around weeds and drugs in the early 1970s. He is better known for later directing porn classics such as Pretty Peaches and Babyface. Perhaps the best anti-drug documentary is the hard hitting A Day in the Death of Donny B. which looks at the damage heroine does to black people and communities, done in cinema verite style with a downbeat groove. Worth 11 minutes of your time. More typical for US anti-drug propaganda is the white middle class student who goes wrong with drugs, as in Narcotics: Pit of Despair, though at least the film was not the usual kiss of death for the career of the lead Kevin Tighe who went on to star in Lost and K-9. More mainstream drug portrayal can be found in Ivan Passer's Born to Win in which George Segal (who passed away this year) , Karen Black and a very young Robert DeNiro, all drift around Time's Square hustling and looking to score. Finally a side of Rome that tourists did not get to see gets exposed in Don't Count on Us from Penny Video (Ciao Simone!).  Finally we talk about some of the new films on the site and there are quite a few this week. Line Six/Linje Sex shares a lot of creative talent with Terror in the Midnight Sun. We have Josefine Mutzenbacher Part 1 and Part 2 in English and German; The XYZ of Love; Piranha; Project Kill and The Secret Dreams of Mona Q. Do check them out and stay tuned for more soon.

It’s been a long and unsettling Creeptober October and as we roll into the week of Halloween we go into the witchy side of things. To do that we will go back, Marty. Back to 1922 Sweden with a film that contests the claim that “Nanook of the North” is the first documentary. Angela and Bob spook out with the entertaining silent historical film by Benjamin Christensen “Häxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages”. A glorious historical telling of the history of Scandinavian perceptions of witchcraft and the persecution of those condemned as witches. Funny, scary, and actually quite impressive. Best of all YOU GET TO READ WHILE WATCHING IT! FUCK YEAH!!!! This film is free (as it should be) and all over YouTube. A variety of links below. The Rats & People Motion Picture Orchestra from the Swedish Film Institute version of Häxan is the bed music for much of this episode. We hope you enjoyed Creeptober. May every house in your neighborhood have full size Peanut Butter Twix and bags of Haribo gummy candy. May every Halloween party be flooded with sexy Werner Herzog costumes. Try not to shit your pants if you can help it. Keep on Doccin’ www.documenteerspodcast.com The version we discussed: https://youtu.be/CkXlXc0lA9c The Burroughs/Jazz version: https://youtu.be/kLCpxD4VZQI Original version: https://youtu.be/qURQklnVW98 The medieval book that inspired the film and many years of mass murder by the church.

A 1922 Swedish-Danish silent film in the form of a semi-dramatised lecture, we had absolutely no idea what to expect of Häxan, written and directed by Benjamin Christensen. And what a great surprise it was, as we discover an extraordinary, perceptive, original, bold, witty piece of work that details the history of witchcraft, visualises medieval beliefs in wild set-pieces, and draws interesting parallels with modern-day institutionalisation of "hysterical" women. The projection was out of this world, a 2K 2007 restoration by the Swedish Film Institute with unimaginable clarity, sharpness and contrast. It was unbelievable to look at. (Thanks to Holly Cooper for finding the technical details out for us.) And the film is full of images that benefit from the restoration; Bosch-esque dramatisations of Satanic seductions, a Witches' Sabbath, and unholy births of demonic creatures. It was the most expensive silent film to ever emerge from Scandinavia, and it shows. Though neither Mike nor José is an expert on horror, and indeed despite Häxan's fundamental differences from horror, in its imagery its possibly foundational influences on several subgenres of horror is palpable. There's a remarkably sceptical, anti-clerical theme that runs throughout the film. While not strictly atheist, Häxan says clearly from the start it will discuss what folks in the Middle Ages believed without asking us to buy into it. Indeed, there's a frankly dismissive tone: "Of course, this is all nonsense", the film effectively says, "but let's learn about it anyway, shall we?" This set-up, while unexpected, arguably creates a lack of direction and drive until the final chapter, in which we are brought into the modern day (of 1921) and Christensen draws direct links between the superstitions of old and what real-life events, phenomena and afflictions they may have been responding to. And that would be interesting, but the film goes further, talking about this all as not just a difference in the understanding of the physical world between people of different eras, but as a continuum of oppression and abuse of women. Burning at the stake, Christensen says, has been replaced by the mild shower of the mental institution, but how much progress does that really represent? Women are now considered to be ill or troubled rather than in league with the Devil, but is the difference between murdering and imprisoning them really so great? Not only does it pose these insightful and powerful questions, it even proposes things as specific as institutional sexual abuse keeping women in an inescapable cycle of incarceration and continued abuse; assaulted by the very men charged with running the system that's supposed to protect them, they are left permanent victims, unable to plead their cases, for anything they say will be considered symptomatic of their hysteria, just as women on trial for witchcraft had no escape from torture and murder in a system that was ostensibly just. We could go on. And in the podcast, we do. The 2007 SFI restoration we saw is available through Criterion, and you owe it to yourself to see it - it's available on DVD and digitally on Amazon and iTunes, though the Blu-Ray appears to be available only in North America, unfortunately. Brilliant film. (P.S. José would like to apologise for saying silent films ran at 8 frames per second, when they actually had frame rates that varied from 16-24 fps and often changed due to being hand-cranked.) Recorded on 17th January 2019.

You've probably seen Citizen Kane, but have you seen its Swedish lesbian equivilant made in the 1950s? Chances are you haven't even heard of it, nor the filmmaker behind it—Hasse Ekman. But for cinephile Fredrik Gustafsson, Ekamn's ingenious and playful films represent some of the best of cinema, and he made it his mission to make them known through his new book, The Man from the Third Row. Hasse Ekman, Swedish Cinema and the Long Shadow of Ingmar Bergman. In the first episode of The Cinephiliacs Global Initiative, Fredrik joins the podcast from Stockholm to discuss his discovery of cinematic loves, his work and research as the Swedish Film Institute, and the many twisting and interesting narratives surrounding Ekman's varied career. Finally, the two look at a much too often negelted period of cinema—Britain in the postwar years—and examine the many cinematic devices David Lean uses to turn his Dickens adaptation of Great Expectations into a blissfully quixotic work of art. 0:00-6:07 Opening / The Cinephiliacs Global Intiative 7:22-13:10 Establishing Shots — 20th Century Women and Julieta 13:55-1:03:46 Deep Focus — Fredrik Gustafsson 1:04:33-1:06:59 Sponsorship Section 1:08:21-1:27:17 Double Exposure — Great Expectations (David Lean) 1:27:22-1:29:00 Close

Women on Fire – Committed to Gender- Independent Film Productions (en) Women graduate from film schools in equal numbers as men, only to afterwards disappear into oblivion – unlike their male colleagues. In 2010, the Swedish Film Institute decided on institutional measures with the aim of attaining gender equality by 2015. In Germany, the group PRO QUOTE REGIE has only recently gained the public’s attention by pointing to German federal TV’s substantial deficit in this respect. Guests: Anna Serner (SWE), CEO Swedish Film Institute; Maike Mia Höhne (GER), filmmaker and curator Berlinale Shorts

With: David Guiraud (FR), Artistic Director and Acquisition Manager, ADASTRA FILMS; Andreas Fock (SE), Film Commissioner for Shorts, Swedish Film Institute; Zsuzsanna Kiràly (DE), Producer, Komplizen Film Host: Sven Wälti (CH), Head of Co-Productions, SRG SSR
