BA_Harrison Could a horror film title be any more generic than Night of Bloody Horror? It's as if writer/director Joy N. Houck Jr. gathered together a whole load of words from other horror titles, arranged them in three columns, and randomly picked one word from column A, one from Column B and one from Column C. Even the tag-line—Keep telling yourself, It's only a picture!—is about as unremarkable as it gets.The amazing thing is, as mundane as the title is, the film itself is actually quite entertaining, an engaging '60s psycho horror with reasonable performances, quite a bit of surprisingly vicious violence, some groovy psychedelic 60s trappings (including a musical interlude featuring a band called The Bored), a few curvaceous babes (with some brief nudity in the opening scene), and an enjoyably daft denouement clearly inspired by Hitchcock's Psycho.Star of the film is Gerald McRaney, who plays mentally fragile youth Wesley, who has spent the last thirteen years in a mental institution after accidentally shooting and killing his brother, and who now desperately wants to readjust to normal life. The problem is that Wesley suffers from sudden migraines followed by blackouts, after which someone close to him usually turns up dead, making him a prime murder suspect. First to go is Wes's girlfriend, who gets a knife in the eye while taking confession; sexy nurse Kate, who tends to Wes after he is beaten up outside a bar, gets a hatchet in her chest; Dr. Moss, Wes's psychologist, has his hand cut off and gets a chopper in the head.It doesn't take a genius to figure out that **Spoiler alert!** Wes isn't the one doing the killing**End of spoiler alert!** and the real identity of the murderer should come as no surprise to most, but that doesn't affect the fun. Give this one a go if '60s drive-in schlock is your bag.6.5 out of 10, rounded up to 7 for IMDb.

Rainey Dawn It's obvious this film was inspired by Psycho. That is not necessarily a bad thing. This is not a carbon copy of Psycho but it's very similar to the Hitchcock classic it's just not nearly as good as Psycho.I would say that Night of Bloody Horror (1969) has it's entertainment value for a small audience - including myself. The film is not good but it's not all that bad either, it's sorta in-between.Gerald McRaney from Major Dad is in this film. It's cool to see a film he started out in.Overall this one isn't a great horror-thriller but it is good for something slightly different if you enjoy movies similar to Psycho.5/10

tavm This was another of those cheap low-budget horror movies I remember seeing in newspaper ads or television commercials on late night as a child in the '70s and wondering what they would be like. The version I watched on YouTube was a little faded and washed out but I saw clearly enough to understand what was going on and enjoy a little. I say a little since with the running time being about ninety minutes, there's not enough time to give too deep characterizations as to motive for the various murders that happen here. As the lead suspect, a young Gerald McRaney is pretty adequate in one of his earliest roles (though he must have considered himself the luckiest man with the women he kissed here). There's also a nightclub scene with a local rock band called The Bored that has a few sixties moments like having some frames printed in negative form with some painted colors added. (and can you dig the cyclone-like special effects that depicts McRaney's "migranes"?) Despite the tagline being "Keep telling yourself, It's only a picture, only a picture...", I don't think the few gore scenes were all that scary, in fact, they looked a bit fake. So on that note, Night of Bloddy Horror is no great shakes though it's not completely boring either. P.S. The theatre that was playing this movie in the late '70s (and perhaps the late '60s as well when this was first released) was the now-defunct Joy's Robert E. Lee one which had four screens during a time when most cinemas in our area had just two. The movie house I just mentioned was perhaps one of 200 owned by one Joy N. Houck, Sr. whose son, Joy Jr., was this film's director. By the way, my neighboring city New Orleans (where Joy Jr. was born) was the location used for filming.

emm The madness never stops! Movies such as this have been rediscovered by yours truly as a purpose, to dig out what we haven't exploited before, and have missed. Here's where I come in handy! Who on this IMDb site has ever seen NIGHT OF BLOODY HORROR, starring a famous, well-known Gerald McRaney? His offbeat role as a murderous maniac should give you a hint. It does have some neat psychedelic visuals, including a useless club hangout scene with lights flashing. It's hard to follow along right until the very end, but it makes common sense as a "schlock"-fest that shows some cheesy gore effects. If your stomach won't churn it up, then don't watch it!
