Hello, dear readers! Yesterday, we launched our 2nd annual Indie Horror Month celebration and kicked things off by taking a look back at all the pivotal independent horror from the 1970s, and this writer even took some time to celebrate a current film that perfectly encapsulates the vibes of ’70s genre cinema, Ti West’s X.

Every Saturday throughout the month of April, we here at Daily Dead will be sharing with you a series of lists focused on where you can stream all kinds of great indie horror movies that includes info from both paid and free streaming services out there.

Piranha
Piranha

Blu ray

Shout! Factory

1978/ 1.85:1 / 92 min.

Starring Bradford Dillman, Heather Menzies, Kevin McCarthy

Cinematography by Jamie Anderson

Directed by Joe Dante

In 1968 Joe Dante and Jon Davison teamed up to make The Movie Orgy, a counter-culture take on 1941’s comic blitzkrieg, Hellzapoppin’. Running two hours longer than Ben-Hur, the Dante/Davison opus was an epic mash up of monster movies, kids’ shows, A-Bomb tests and toothpaste commercials – the cinematic equivalent of a Will Elder cartoon.

If it had an agenda, it was pure fun – a seven-hour blow out aimed at altered college kids weened on Mad Magazine and Famous Monsters. These days Bigfoot makes more appearances than The Movie Orgy but when one of those infrequent screenings materializes audiences are galvanized by the onslaught – and surprised by what was hiding in plain sight all the time – the supposedly buttoned-down Eisenhower era was not just deeply subversive but more than a little weird.
