Ghoulish Delight #6: L’Ectrique – Struck By Boogie Lightning
As you can probably guess from the massive accompanying picture, this Ghoulish Delight is taken from the crap 1980 slasher film Don’t Go In The House. Often cited as one of the most DISTURBING VIDEO NASTIES BAN THIS SICK FILTH film ever, it’s actually a ridiculous tale of a Norman Bates type character who has pyromania. What a premise eh? Anyway, as I mentioned earlier, it’s a bit shit but the one redeeming feature that should pique your curiosity, is the film’s soundtrack.
During the late seventies and early eighties, slasher films were awash with funky, wah-wah disco tracks, the majority being utterly awful and a minority being, well, good. If you’re sad bastard like me and love to trawl hours and hours of YouTube clips of crap seventies horror films for a good song; then a song like Struck By Boogie Lightning will be your reward. Basically, if you look hard enough you WILL find a decent slasher disco song. The song itself is a dramatic, high octane number (funnily enough, the song is not played during some mad scene from the movie but actually during a scene in a clothes shop! See video below), that even has thunder and lightning sounds which will enhance your Halloween party immensely. A favourite of legendary cosmic DJ Beppe Loda, this is a massive lightning boogie bolt, but before you put your dancing shoes on, have a good ol’ laugh at the aforementioned shop scene. Hilarious!
