Bitter Cinema on Tumblr

A sister site, if you will… a bit easier to update and post for the time being. This particular site is not dead by a long shot, but longer form thrills and chills may not be on hand for the foreseeable future, and even then, the subject matter and main thrust of the site may be something completely different than what’s been here for more than eight years. We shall see, won’t we?

But, if you’ve liked the grab-bag aesthetic of pics, movie posters, odd juxtapositions, check out http://bittercinema.tumblr.com. Maybe you’ll even like some of it…

Biting Bullwhip Fury!

Naked In Sun

Apparently, the first production of Florida’s first movie studio.

Don’t Open the Window

Don't!

Another classic “don’t…” title from the early 70s, this was the drive-in American version of Spaniard Jorge Grau’s No se debe profanar el sueño de los muertos, better know nowadays as The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue and Let Sleeping Corpses Lie. This poster is an odd mash up of Last House on the Left’s infamous advice on how to avoid fainting (indeed, the graphic seems like a too-simple cut and paste job), a woman who looks curiously like British star Linda Hayden, and some Shelly Winters looking woman screaming within the window that should never be opened, which looks like a very recognizable and almost famous film still that I simply cannot place for the life of me.

See this double shock show…

The Flesh is Weak IMDB

Blonde in Bondage (Swedish title Blondin i fara) IMDB

A poster similar to the one posted is selling for $900.

Die Satanweiber von Tittfield

Die Satansweiber von Tittfield

German poster for Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

The German title translates as The Devil Wives of Tittfield. As far as I can discern, there is no town or place on earth called Tittfield, although it does sound like a appropriate name for a Russ Meyer theme park, if one were ever to open one.

Via Harakiri Chamber, by way of Mondo Grottesco, by way of Scandy Factory, by way of Retro-Troll.

Slaughter of the Vampires

Les Massacre des Vampires

Known in the US as Slaughter of the Vampires. Released in Italy (its country of origin) as La strage de vampiri

Ernesto Alonso NY Times

Ernesto Alonso was a colossal figure in Mexican television, a creator, producer, director, writer, and actor of many Mexican “telenovelas”, a key figure in that national form’s growth as an international phenomenon. I know him mainly as the lead in Buñuel’s Ensayo de un Crimen (The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz). He also provided the narration to the very beginning of Los Olvidados, where he stated, very matter-of-factly, that “this film shows the real life… It is not optimistic. The solution of this problem is left to the forces of progress…”
