ACID EATERS, THE / SPACE THING

A double dose of psychotropic anti-time capsules from producer David F. Friedman (Blood Feast) and director Byron Mabe (She Freak)! Billed as "the first Hollywood underground film," THE ACID EATERS tells the mind-expanding story of a group of working class swingers (including Pat Barrington, Orgy of the Dead) who drop acid and melt into sex, knife fights, and a literal trip to hell. Then it's time to blast-off with SPACE THING, a warped homage to 1960s sci-fi and pulp fiction that follows Col. James Granilla as he hops a flying saucer and enjoys close encounters of every kind with a crew of "space dolls." AGFA and Something Weird are overjoyed to bring these campy Friedman gems to Blu-ray for the first time—"in psychedelic color" and newly restored from their original 35mm camera negatives.
