This is a sequel to Weldon's previous Psychotronic guide, filling in gaps and adding films that were made after the original guide was published. As such, it isn't as interesting as the original book, nor are the illustrations as effective. However, it is still an essential work if you're interested in these oddball films.

- Rod Steiger costars as a mad scientist who revives a mutant cat, and Amanda Pays turns into an amphibian.
Carrie (Ghetty Chasun), a necrophiliac dominatrix with a multipierced body, watches the Death Scenes tape, masturbates with a skull, and in two (soft-core) scenes has sex with a body. Yes, this is the result of letting... (show all) the German Nekromantik into the US of A.
It's funny to see a huge walrus, an even bigger crab monster, and all the tiny creatures trying to cheat, abuse, or have sex with each other, but not everybody will laugh at the rabbit with AIDS. - Blurbers
