I heard Al Adamson was found dead on a ranch...is this the ranch?

@monster4josh Al Adamson was found dead, buried under his own home, not on a ranch.

WAS THIS A ROGER CORMAN FILM????

No, it was directed by Al Adamson. In the mid 60s Al cranked out a bunch of flicks: scuzzy biker items ("Satan's Sadists," "Hell's Bloody Devils), Westerns ("Five Bloody Graves," "Jessi's Girls"), soft-core comedies ("The Naughty Stewardesses," "Blazing Stewardesses"), horror/sci-fi ("Horror of the Blood Monsters", "Brain of Blood," & "Nurse Sherri").

Thank You for posting; This was filmed during the time the 'Manson Family', with 'Charles-in-charge', occupied the Spahn Ranch as caretakers, the urban legend is that some of the 'extras', and 'stunt' personnel were members of the 'Manson Family'. The new math is, Hyram Abif plus Edgar Allan Poe's 'Tell-Tale Heart' equal Al Adamson's un-cola party, or was it '2:06''Healter-Skelter' 'Family-Jams' it folk-songs right between the eyes?

As has been commented, the irony of "life imitating art" at Spahn Ranch is quite amazing! For a second I thought I was watching Robert Hendrickson's documentary "Manson!" LOL!

Is this what Gloria Allred did when she was younger?

This is remarkable.... the burning of the crucifix on the forehead is absolutely extraordinary given what happened later. Thanks for posting.

Cross on the forehead? That's just wild, stone wild.

...At 2:23, the big auburn haired chick is A'leisha Brevard...her name at birth was ALFRED Brevard Crenshaw...yep, quite a change...

Shocking. But true it was filmed in the infamous Spahn Ranch where the notorius Manson family lived. Look for it on dvd if you're into grindhouse excitement.

This movie deserves to be remade today,it seems like Hollywood has run out of new ideas or is to cheap to make new original movies.So many movies are sequels or remakes I hope this films gets remade soon.

@PsychProfessor Ain't that the truth! He was a fairly nice looking guy back in the 1940's,.. but became so fat and ugly by the 60's! Check out Dracula Vr. Frankenstien, he's really hideous in THAT one too. But I've got'a admit, It somehow suited those later flicks.
