On this week’s episode, a short discussion of Blood Orgy of the She-Devils and the life and times of horror maverick, Ted V. Mikels.

The plot is pretty bare: a soothsayer / prognosticator becomes involved with a couple. It’s not exactly a “screaming plunge into the depths of hell” promised in the poster, but it’s a super fun low-budget affair.
