This was my introduction to Al Adamson films. I didn't watch anything else he did for 15 years....
Blood of Ghastly Horror is disjointed, grainy and clearly has footage made at different times. There's some footage dating back to the early 60s, an unreleased heist movie. That footage was salvaged and used for Psycho A Go-Go then again with The Man With the Electric Brain starring John Carradine. Parts of the footage of those three turn up again with new footage starring Adamson regulars, Regina Carrol (his wife), and Kent Taylor(I think he did 3 films with Adamson). This also has a glassy eyed and sickly looking Tommy Kirk who was completely lost in addiction by the early to mid 70s when this was filmed.
None of the scenes come together well and I'm not sure to this day what the plot was. I think it was a revenge plot avenging the death of Joe Corey played by Roy Morton, who was the only actor in all three of the previous movies. This was Adamson's third attempt to do something with that early heist film footage and it's the worst artistically speaking but I'm sure it was marketed well for drive-ins which is why people still talk about Al Adamson movies and not something by John Kirkland or Leonard Kirtman.
