I Drink Your Blood | 1970 | USA | David E. Durston

A gratuitously bloodsoaked and scuzzy exploitation flick from the early seventies, David E. Durston’s proto-zombie splatter ticks many boxes in terms of debauchery, gore and problematic elements. A gang of Satan-worshipping hippies begin causing trouble in a small town, raping local girls, slaughtering animals and drugging the grandfather of young Pete. Deciding to take matters into his own hands, Pete goes out and hunts a rabid dog, collecting its blood and injecting it into the meat pies made as his family’s bakery, gifting them to the gang. After they consume the pies, the dangerous lunatics become even more unhinged as the rabies infection takes hold,  causing them to infect all the townspeople that they don’t outright slay in the streets. The film was not listed as an official nasty anywhere, but the film saw frequent seizure by police due to clips of the film being used in Mary Whitehouse’s compilation tapes while she was campaigning.
