The ultimate, curvaceous specter, Lilith Von Bloodworth (Jennifer Laura Welsh), returns to haunt a spankin' new Mondo Creepy!
The latest episode (conjured from her familiar, VHS hub) is Italy's Warriors of the Wasteland, aka The New Barbarians, a Road Warrior-meets-Escape from New York-meets-Death Race 2000-meets-Megaforce jaunt.
This 1983 neo-spaghetti western is, in fact, directed by Enzo G. Castellari, who gave us The Bronx Warriors and Escape from the Bronx and occurs in the far-off year, 2019, where nuclear devastation has left few survivors in its wake. Those who wish to revive Earth face a violent, white-armored sect called The Templars. Fortunately, a Templar defector, The Scorpion, played by the suave Giancarlo Prete (aka Timothy Brent), is there to intervene and inspire. (The high-fueled action is also graced by gutsy, supporting appearances by football great, Fred Williamson and horror/western star, George Eastman.)
To supplement the movie's mayhem, Ms. Bloodworth's wit has never been so super-keen, adding great, comely punch to the fable's fearsome dystopia.
Mondo Creepy's popularity, as guided by the ethereal Lady Lilith, keeps growing. This latest episode is but another cultist case in point. No doubt more engrossing episodes are on the way. Heck, fans demand it!
