Funeral Parade of Roses [ Bara no sôretsu] (1969)– Basically, a psychedelic Japanese drag adaptation of “Oedipus Rex” Johnny Got His Gun (1971)– Antiwar classic about a limbless, blind and deaf casualty of the first World War, trapped inside his own head where he lives out a mixture of dreams and fantasies The Bad Batch (2016)– A girl exiled into the desert in a future dystopia seeks revenge on the bodybuilding cannibals who ate part of her This is a strong issue regarding the fiction contents. Greg Cox’s story is from the point of view of a demon guarding a vault imprisoning a very bad goddess. Greg Mollin’s story is short and punches hard. Marguerite Reed’s story reminded me of Tanith Lee. James Moore’s story is a tale of a prince deprived of his throne by his mother and brother and his quest to regain it. Most of the stories have a good weird element, some a strong horror element which is what makes good sword & sorcery.
The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T (1953)– A mad doctor enslaves 500 boys to play his giant piano in this surreal musical fantasy courtesy of Dr. Seuss Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971)– A laborer race of orange and green dwarfs and the bad acid boat trip from hell tip this kiddie musical into the weird column Help!

Santa Claus (1959)– With the assistance of his henchman Merlin, Santa fights the Devil while delivering presents on Christmas Eve in this culturally confused Mexican take on Kris Kringle This is heavy on the big names of the magazine but includes most of the qualified second stringers. There are a few stories by more obscure writers that might make the grade, Mearle Prout’s “ “Masquerade” for example. I could make a case for E. F. Benson’s ”The Wishing Well” though Benson was not a Weird Tales writer per se. Some would probably make the case for G. G. Pendarves though I have not read anything by her that really has grabbed me.Natural Born Killers (1994)– A pair of serial killers become celebrities as they slay their way across a hallucinogenic America Spider Baby, or the Maddest Story Ever Told (1967)– The Merrye family reverts to savagery as they age in this horror/comedy with an utterly unique tone Pierrot le Fou (1965)– A television personality goes on the lam with his babysitter in this playfully fractured, classic Nouvelle Vague road movie Lucifer Rising (1981)– Egyptian gods and goddess conjure Lucifer and flying saucers in this short (30 minutes), occult, avant-garde masterpiece Valerie and Her Week of Wonders [ Valerie a Týden Divu] (1970)– The onset of menses turns 13-year old Valerie’s innocent world of childhood into a dream of rapist priests, lesbians, incest, and vampires
