Only a madman could understand it all, they say.  That's not the best indication that a movie has a clear narrative...

The plot synopsis genuinely is something weird - a man is facially disfigured in an accident which also inexplicably gives him psychic powers.  He is then coerced into shacking up with a grotesque shape-shifting witch who fixes his face, and they go off to banish ghosts and catch a serial killer.  All in a day's work.

Something Weird lacks the usual gore of Herschell Lewis' movies, but makes up for it by not making much sense.  Brilliantly, some people remember a "3D" version of this movie

The excellent DVD company Something Weird Video took their name from this film - they specialise in hoovering up the rights to forgotten and strange old movies and releasing them to the home market before they're lost forever.  Trailer Club 70 salutes them.

Favourite bit:  The incredibly sub-standard make-up on the witch.  School panto a-go-go!
