A Hep Cat Hollowcast., 23 August 2002
10/10
Author: Roland Boe (gidget1999@msn.com) from Seattle, U.S.A.

Daddy O, this is with out a doubt the coolest horror film with beatniks that has ever been produced, one viewing and you'll be pulling your bongos outa the closet and throwing paint at the wall. Beatniks, coffee, art, murder and a Paul Horn soundtrack, It's Crazy Man.
