Scare Their Pants Off / Satan's Bed

Description

Yes, it's Yoko Ono, sex maniacs, and off-kilter kink in this goofy, ultra-gritty Grindhouse Double Feature! "Scare Their Pants Off" (1968, 61 min.) - Since lunatics John and Bert can't enjoy sex unless their women are properly terrified, they abduct three lovely ladies and attempt to Scare Their Pants Off while gleefully demonstrating why blind dates can be so scary. "Satan's Bed" (1965, 72 min.) - The same year that The Beatles' second film, "Help!," premiered, John Lennon's future soul mate, avant-garde artist Yoko Ono, made her acting debut in this twisted sickie. Ono, in a kimono, plays the Japanese bride-to-be of a drug-smuggling immigration agent who wants to abandon crime for life with Yoko.

Customer Reviews:

Half of this double is ok.......2002-06-05

After having plunked down 20 bucks for this dvd, I have to say that I am disappointed with part of it. The first feature is one of the most bizarre I have ever seen. Two guys kidnap three women and scare them before having sex with them. A very odd and unusual concept. I liked the third girl a lot, she is very attractive, but cannot act worth beans. This feature called Scare Their Pants Off was ok. The second feature Satan's Bed is simply awful. The acting sucks, the dialog is wretched and Yoko Ono adds nothing but freak value to an already awful freak show. All I could make out was that two guys and a woman go on a crime spree attacking woman and raping them. If you like this kind of stuff then this is for you, but I felt cheated.

SO Politically Incorrect!.......2002-02-05

Well, if anyone thinks we are in an age of "no-holds-barred" cinema these days, try imagining a Hollywood producer's reaction to a exploitation comedy plot about 2 guys who drug and kidnap women, and terrorize them with elaborate theatrics to get their sexual kicks. Their scenarios involve a phantom-of-the-opera type, an "Indian sacrifice" and, best of all, a ludicrous, made-up fascist organization. Of course it is all ridiculous and the farthest thing from truly hateful, but it is sure to offend some humorless individuals.

"Satan's Bed" is more historically than hysterically funny. I've heard this film referred to as an "underground art film" in reference to Yoko's later career, when it is anything but that. It's a typical exploitation "roughie", with the delightful Ms. Ono playing a mail-order-bride who doesn't speak much English, so no really crazy dialogue from Yoko. She does sing to herself briefly in one scene, but none of her later trademark shrieking, chirping or dry-heaving is evident, unfortunately.

The extras are a good selection of trailers and short subjects, the most notable being a 40 minute story of a NYC prostitute which is sleazy and oddly compelling at the same time.
