Presented here by horror hostess Elvira is 1976s Blue Sunshine, which is written and directed by Jeff Lieberman. Mr. Lieberman also directed these unconventional horror film standouts: an invasion of angry worms in Squirm (1976) and Just Before Dawn (1981) a kids menaced by a slasher in the woods film that transcends the genre.
Blue Sunshine takes an mid 70s look at the horrific consequences of acid gobbling in the 60s. Those who enjoyed the "blue sunshine" lsd years ago are revisited by homicidal, hair losing flash backs throughout the double knit, deep shag and Earth toned surroundings. Softcore/exploitation favorite Zalman King has a lead role with Mark Goddard from Lost in Space and Robert Walden from Lou Grant also appearing. According to the trivia listings at IMDb.com "the street that was used for the O'Malley's neighborhood would later be the same street used for A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)."
