 Item — Box: 1

Scope and Contents

Publisher: Pendulum Publishers, Los AngelesPhoto Illustrated (b&w)[another pictorial, this time with stills from a Image 4 motion picture production. Wood biographer Rudolph Grey summarized Broadie, "A peeping tom rapist spies on a group of young women making love in a boarding school. He approaches them and joins in on thethe action. The man-hating schoolmistress, Mrs. Grundy, discovers the orgy and beats the man to death with her cane. The headmistress then coerces the girls to assist her in burying the body in a nearby pet cemetery. After the burial, a hand appears out of the ground and grabs one of the young girls. The bloodied "corpse" smashes Mrs. Grundy with a shovel, sending her off into eternity. After another young girl falls victim to his revenge, the now blind young man staggers off toward the swamp water. Accompanying photos are only marginally related to the story." Page 105/6: "All any of them wanted to do was get the damned carcass in the ground and get the hell out of there. Time was against them! They had to make the new movement of time aid in their own advantage."]
