The Return of Doctor X
Humphrey Bogart regarded this as his biggest dog of a film. He plays a mad scientist who went to the electric chair, died, was revived with "synthetic blood," then had to subsist by draining the blood of others.
And here's the weirdest thing: almost every scene in this trailer is an outtake, not seen in the actual film! I wonder if viewers of the era felt ripped off.
'Nuff said!
Shipbuilder
Dramatization of a true weird story.

Jug Band
Is there any musical instrument derived from a common domestic item that is weirder or less likely than the musical ceramic jug?

The Cobweb Hotel
If this cartoon were a movie with a human cast, it would be more gruesome than the whole Saw franchise.

Milt Gross
I am currently enjoying a great book about cartoonist Milt Gross. (See link at right.)
If you watch the embedded cartoon, you'll get a sense of why he was idolized by R. Crumb and the founding artists of Mad magazine for his supreme wackiness.
