Okay, for once work wasn’t that bad today and I’ve got a three day weekend to look forward to, so I’m in a pretty good mood and just feel like taking it easy tonight. I haven’t screened a movie in quite a while here at MAD, so tonight I’m going to have a midnight movie showing of the long-awaited “Fugitive Girls.”

A month or so ago I wrote about this film, but if you didn’t read it or don’t remember, it’s the last movie legendary filmmaker Ed Wood was involved in. He co-wrote the movie with AC Stephens (Stephen Apostolof), who directed it. Ed Wood was the Assistant Director, using the name, Dick Trent as a pseudonym. It came out in 1974, and although I’ve played the movie trailer here before, it’s worth watching one more time before I screen it, check it out.


“Betrayed by her Lover ... Pimp Killer ... Dope Smuggler ... Bank Embezzler ... Lesbian—Leader of the Pack!”

Oh and this film has no subtitles, but I think that every picture will tell its story. Are you ready?
Lights...
Camera...
Fugitive Girls!

San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me,
You've hosted me since nineteen sixty three.
I've seen 'em come and go and I've seen them die,
And long ago I stopped askin' why.
