MR. LOBO'S CINEMA INSOMNIA: BLOOD FREAK, THANKSGIVING SPECIAL

Mr. Lobo's Cinema Insomnia offers a tasty, new "misunderstood" dish: the monster-"turkey" epic, Blood Freak

Director/narrator Brad F. Grinter coscripted this 1972, hippy/drug-oriented opus with Steve Hawkes, who plays its doomed biker/Vietnam vet, Herschell. As poor Herschell's luck would have it, he lands a job at a turkey farm, where a couple of company scientists transform him into the titular, rampaging beast, a sort of spiritual, vampiric cousin, if one will, to The Giant Claw, or so some cinema buffs have argued. 

This Ed Wood-ish entry is lots of fun, with its profound, drug-warning message, scary tactics and pretty girls, but it becomes even more fulfilling thanks to Mr. Lobo, who fringes it with plenty of off-the-cuff stuffing.

One can own a copy of this fine serving (and even gain on-screen credit) if one orders the Blu-ray release. It can be procured and secured at
