A classic bit of schlock by blood-and-guts pioneer Herschell Gordon Lewis, about a serial killer who goes around turning strippers into mutilated corpses. The point-blank carnage is extremely graphic, but in the context of the whole stupefying package, that's just part of the joke. One victim gets her face boiled in oil with a bunch of french fries. Another gets her backside clubbed to a pulp with a meat tenderizer. A third gets stabbed while chewing bubble gum and dies blowing a bubble of blood. What fun.
