A bewigged and chiffon caftan-clad Beryl Reid conducting a séance and speaking in the voice of a child … suave Hollywood bad guy George Sanders (in his final film role) as her sinister butler Shadwell … a surly antisocial biker gang called The Living Dead, whose hellraising members are named things like Hatchet, Gash and Chopped Meat but whose tough skull-and-crossbones image is belied by the fact the actors all speak in upper-crust posh tones like they’ve received elocution lessons from The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art … Robert Hardy from All Creatures Great and Small as the chief of police on their case … grocery shoppers at the Hepworth Way shopping centre in Walton-on-Thames being terrorized by The Living Dead (the camera really ogles the pram-pushing young “dollybird” mums wearing miniskirts and hotpants) … occultism centred around the worship of “The Frog God” (prepare for a lot of close-ups of a frog under a bell jar ribbiting) … and a fleeting appearance from June Brown long before she played Dot Cotton in Eastenders … YES! I can only be talking about Psychomania (1973) (aka The Death Wheelers). Tagline: “The Dead Still Ride...the living howl in TERROR!” I revisited this endearingly terrible British exploitation horror oddity last weekend. For anyone squeamish: there’s a high body count, but absolutely zero blood or gore. And Psychomania is brimming with kitschy early seventies charm (and every outdoor scene features typically drab overcast British weather).
