Vapors

Although their robes say "St. Mark's Baths," Caffe Cino playwright Robert Patrick recalls "'Vapors' was not filmed in the St. Mark's Baths. William M. Hoffman says the upstairs scenes were shot in the building on Prince Street where both Billy and Andy lived, and Joel Thurm, who played the clerk, says, 'My stuff was done in a candy store on either 8th or 6th Avenue... the counter of the candy store was the 'reception' desk.'

"Vapors" is available as an "Extra" on Something Weird Video's DVD of Andy Milligan's feature film, "The Body Beneath," on Amazon.

@LENTICULARPLASTIC My understanding is that it changed after he'd hooked up with producer / distributer William Mishkin who insisted that he make more comercialy oriented horror and exploitation films ( which were never really Milligan's thing to begin with ).

Say what you will about Milligan's films, but early in his tenure he showed a spark of future promise...its a shame things went so off-course, but even at his worst there is a distinct Milligan monogram to his films...the awkward hallmarks of a visionary outsider hoping to make something out of nothing.
