Horror Hospital W/S

When attempts to break into the pop business leaves him with nothing but a bloody nose songwriter Jason Jones (Robin Askwith) decides to take a break with "Hairy Holidays", an outfit run by shifty, gay travel agent Pollock (Dennis Price). After failing to chat Jason up, Pollock sends him to pseudo-health farm- Brittlehurst Manor. On the train journey there Jason meets Judy (Vanessa Shaw) who is also on the way to the same destination to meet her long lost Aunt. Both are unaware that the health farm (ie "Horror Hospital") is a front for Dr Storm (Michael Gough) and his lobotomy experiments that turn wayward hippies into his mindless zombie slaves. The wheel-chair bound Doctor surrounds himself with an entourage that including Judy's aunt, and erstwhile brothel madam, Olga (Ellen Pollock), dwarf Frederick (Skip Martin) and numerous zombie bikers thugs. Dr Storm also has a Rolls-Royce fitted with a giant blade that decapitates escapees and interfering parties. Abraham (Kurt Christian) arrives at the Horror Hospital "looking for his chick" and is promptly whacked around the head by the motorcycle zombies. Frederick, fed up at literally being Storm's whipping boy helps the kids escape- paving the way for Seventies youth to put the final spanner in the works of Storm's scheme. # Michael Gough - Dr. Christian Storm # Robin Askwith - Jason Jones # Vanessa Shaw - Judy Peters # Ellen Pollock - Aunt Harris # Dennis Price - Mr. Pollack # Skip Martin - Frederick # Kurt Christian - Abraham # Barbara Wendy - Millie Language : English Year : 1973
