#92 CONFESSIONS OF AN OPIUM EATER (1962)
VINCENT PRICE
TRIPS OUT
This
seldom seen and long out of print film features Vincent Price
investigating the goings on deep in the underworld of opium in the
catcombs of San Francisco's Chinatown. After smoking some he has a
tripout that is full of nightmarish imagery. Skulls float toward the
screen, with smoke billowing out of the eyeballs, strange laughing
men, and a collection of lizards and spiders abound. If they just
showed this on TV to impressionable kids, it would have ended the war
on drugs immediately. It gets weirder after that. I saw this on TNT
a long while back, so it's likely going to be on TV again someday, so
watch out for it.
