A grimy and spirited New York indie produced by future exploitation legends Jack Bravman (Snuff) and Ed Adlum (Shriek of the Mutilated), and directed by character actor Raf Mauro, BLONDE ON A BUM TRIP effectively integrates the then craze of drug (and particularly LSD) scare films into a nudie setup, resulting in a wonderfully weird grindhouse classic which has gained cult status in no small part due to its incredible original garage-rock soundtrack by The E-Types and The Vagrants.
