58:21 – This time around we celebrate love in its strangest forms. From Hammer Film’s early seventies obsession with ‘strange love’ in the form of lesbian vampires, cross gender mad scientists and crazed killers with father issues, through woman-eating trees, marriage phobia and marrying oneself, to the redemptive power of disco. And remember – love is love, no matter how strange or weird it might be.

‘Strange Love’ by Tracey from Wembley (love theme from ‘Lust for a Vampire’) ¦ Hammer films and strange love -the rise of the lesbian vampire (including trailer from ‘The Vampire Lovers’ (1970)) ¦ Cross gender mad scientists (including ‘Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde’ (1971) trailer) ¦ Father issues and mad killers (including ‘Hands of the Ripper’ (1971) trailer) ¦ Random Movie Trailer – ‘Womaneater’ (1958) ¦ ‘Womaneater’ excerpt ¦ Unhappily Ever After ¦ ‘Strange Love’ by Tracey from Wembley (version 2) ¦ Nuptials for the Single Man ¦ Forgotten Film: ‘Nocturna’ (1979)
