Clip of the Day - The Miskatonic Acid Test
It’s my happening and Ia Ia Cthulhu F’tagn! Dark Lord Rob has contacted me about his first feature film, The Miskatonic Acid Test, and he wants to blow your mind.
It’s 1969, and cosmic horror infects a psychedelic rock “happening” in witch-haunted Arkham, Mass. It’s a zonked out brew of poetry, philosophy, metaphysical terror, and 60’s-style acid rock; probably the first horror movie that’s more heavily influenced by the Monkees’ “Head” than by George Romero. Sort of like Monterey Pop, only at the end monsters attack everybody.
Potentially even more important than the film is Dark Lord Rob’s efforts to preserve the long-lost Arkham Sound, even going so far as to make tracks from that era available for the first time in decades, including Erich Zann by The Howl and the legendary Come to Arkham (Wear the Wind in Your Hair) by Byron Fenris. I didn’t think these songs would ever turn up again. Praise Yog-Sothoth!
