Even if you're a connoisseur of strange movies, The Curious Dr. Humpp will still be one of the strangest you'll ever see. It started out as an early-1960s Argentinian brain-in-a-jar flick about a mad doctor who has to harvest sexual energy from hot co-eds to feed a brain (that would be Dr. Humpp) who feeds on sexual particles. Yeah. But it gets weirder.

Yeah. But it gets weirder.A North American producer brought the film to the States in the late 1960s, added random extra lesbian characters and a bunch of hippie orgies, then sent the movie out into the English-speaking world. The result is a really strange mashup of fairly chaste erotic stuff that's clearly dubbed (as in this clip) and fuck frenzies full of naked, bad actors on LSD. In this clip (which is work safe), the mad doctor harvests some sexual energy for his brain pal. Released on DVD as part of a "sexy shocker" series curated by Something Weird's Frank "Frankenhooker" Hennenlotter, The Curious Dr. Humpp is quite curious indeed. And dare I say it, the flick is actually a little bit sexy in places. Not in the hippie orgy ones, though.

This is great. Added to my "must finds".
"You will do everything to her a man can."
"I'm doing it to her. I can't stop screwing her."
"Lay him!"
Oh man, I need the full transcript of this find.
Oh come on.
What's not sexy about a hippie orgy ?
@hn333: I'm not condemning all hippie orgies, just the ones in this movie.
@hn333: Few odors are a bigger turn-off than patchouli. Even though I wouldn't actually smell it, I'd know it was there.
I actually got this gem from my in-laws. We've fortunately since passed it on to someone else. Aren't there also some monsters with lightbulbs on their head?
@annalee: LOL I'll take your word for it then.
Women: Does it make you nervous, so many old science fiction/horror/odd-porns about women getting abducted by mad scientists, have their heads taken off, their heads and bodies used or shown strangely, then anything happens, with alot of brief nudity thrown in? Isn't that a scary thing to know that this stuff, while maybe just 40 years old, is still out there, perhaps still resonation, or will be around again in another form, and that your gender may be the target, again?
Men: Let's go get some jars...
Lay him! lol!
Awesome! I must find it.
On this movie IMDB page, it also recommends the Italian movie Nuda per Satana (Nude for Satan). I watched this one, really cool (if, you know, you're into this sort of thing).
@Eac_O_System: Note that there's a guy who has been abducted in this movie, too. Also, you forgot to include all the other genders from the planet Gargleflex. Why must you insist on this male/female thing when you know all those other gender are out there with their own opinions?
I need to get myself a theramine.
I too want to be able to make spooky sci-fi-sounds. Preferably at all the wrong tiems and places.
Times.
..."all the wrong times".
The only thing I know for certain is that the mad doc has a bad comb-over.
@Katana_Mind: LOL! Like right in the middle of a tense business meeting.
Ever seen "Horror Hospital" with Michael Gough? It's a mix of this and the "Carry On" movies, with some Rocky Horror Picture Show and Ilsa: She-Wolf of the S.S. thrown in. And, yes, it features smelly hippies, too. Or what are supposed to pass for them.
