Help me, please! I'm a "lost" film, which means no one can seem to find me! I was made in San Antonio, Texas in 1962. I was written and directed by Pat Boyette, the famed comic book artist. Mr. Boyette also made the much-loved/hated SA-lensed cult horror epic "The Dungeon of Harrow" the same year (he directed another, his last, "lost" film called "No Man's Land" in 1964). Here's a plot synopsis of me written by some old codger named Hal Erickson from the New York Times back in '62.
THE WEIRD ONES (1962)
The Weird Ones combines the sci-fi genre with the equally popular soft-core erotica field. Mike Braden and Rudy Duran play a couple of press agents, specializing in furthering the career of naked (or nearly-naked) women. The two protagonists do their best to stem the activities of the Astronik, a space alien whose mission consists of torturing and murdering beautiful young ladies. To catch the Astronik, the agents use a phony extraterrestrial --a well-endowed girl -- as bait. Praise or blame for The Weird Ones can be lain on the doorstep of Pat Boyette, who produced, directed and wrote this sexploitationer.
