MR. LOBO'S CINEMA INSOMNIA: BLOOD FREAK, ON OSI74 ROKU

Mr. Lobo's Cinema Insomnia's Jive Turkey Friendsgiving Special: Blood Freak is now streaming on OSI74's Roku Channel. 

Mr. Lobo, Sally the Zombie Cheerleader, Yella Fever and the gang bring lots of groovy, side-dish flavor to this cult favorite that director/narrator Brad F. Grinter coscripted with actor Steve Hawkes way back in far-out 1972.

In the hippy-dippy trip, Hawkes portrays a doomed biker/Vietnam vet named Herschell, who lands a stint at a turkey farm, where company scientists transform him into the titular, beaked beast.

Grinter pays tribute to the Amazing Criswell by appearing on camera at the film's start and finish, instilling the narrative with a powerful, Filmation-esque warning, which viewers are certain to keep close to their ravenous hearts well after the appetizing fable ends.  

No matter when one feasts upon Blood Freak, it'll always fill one's aesthetic belly, albeit in a most "misunderstood," mutant-ous way. Gobble! Gobble!
