Now this my kind of triple feature.
First we have Atragon, a colorful and exciting Japanese science-fantasy undersea adventure that features a submarine that can also fly. Next up is The Witch's Curse, an Italian peplum that sends strongman Maciste into Hell itself, so he can lift the titular curse from a long-suffering Scottish village.
Last, but in no way least, is Two Thousand Maniacs! The story of a Southern town celebrating its Centennial by slaughtering wayward tourists from the North. This would be the first Herschell Gordon Lewis movie I was able to see (when it was released on home video, way back in 1982) and remains my favorite to this day.
This triple bill really is a cinematic banana split of 1960's genre staples. It is perfect. No notes.
