Next Episode

LSD Horror: Blue Sunshine (1977) & Mandy (2018)

LSD has been portayed on film in a number of different ways. From the trippy visuals and gonzo narration in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) to the "how-to trip" guidance of The Trip (1967) to the POV death trip of Enter the Void (2009).

Here we take a look at how two LSD fueled horror films explore the cultural detritus of the 1960's ripples all the way to Ronald Reagan's America in the early 1980's. It ain't pretty, but it makes for some wild films.

Here's a link to the Lockheed Martin: LSD Case Study video that Aaron mentions.
