Synopsis:

Sting of Death: College girl Karen visits her dad, a marine biologist, at his island compound in the Florida Everglades. Her partying friends show up, dance to Neil Sedaka tunes, and taunt the doctor's creepy assistant, Egon. Soon they're victims of a wetsuit-wearing. bipedal jellyfish monster. Jealous of Karen's boyfriend, Egon kidnaps her and carries her to his secret underground lair. Death Curse of Tartu: Four students on an archaeology assignment in the Everglades decide to throw a dance party on the burial site of an ancient Indian medicine man named Tartu. He returns from the dead, in the form of various animals, to take his revenge on those who desecrated his grave site. The Hooked Generation: About a gang of dope peddlers who sail out to meet a Cuban boat. The trouble starts when they are forced to throw their narcotics overboard and are seen by a young couple. The Psychedelic Priest: A priest sheds his habit, tunes in, turns on and drops out for a road trip that will change his life and bring him sorrow. Filmed in 1971 but not released until 2001. The Naked Zoo: A seductive matron lives in Miami with her wheelchair-bound, wealthy husband. Frustrated, she beds a young author. The gravy train abruptly derails when her husband finds out, and murder ensues. Mako: The Jaws of Death: During the Vietnam War, US soldier Sonny Stein is saved from a pursuing enemy by a Mako shark. He begins to appreciate Makos after that. After the war, Stein finds work in the Philippine Islands as a marine salvager. A Filipino shaman gives him a medallion that helps him develop a telepathic rapport with Makos. Once back home in Florida, Stein decides to become Makos defender. A shady scientist who wants to research the sharks and a strip club owner who wants to use the sharks in a stripping act try to get Stein to use his powers to help them with their plans. Furious, Stein turns on the two men and things get ugly quickly for all of them. Whiskey Mountain: Four bikers travel into the rural mountains to search the region for a number of antique Civil War rifles which are believed to be concealed in a cave on Whiskey Mountain. While stopping at a general store nestled in the mountains, the group are harassed by a group of backwoods locals and later while camping, they are stalked and terrorized by the same fellas. They Came from the Swamp: The Films of William Grefé: Savage! Sadistic! Thrill hungry! When it came to independent filmmaking in the sunshine state, William Grefé was the wildest of the wild! During the 1960s and '70s, the Miami-based producer/director transformed the darkest corners of the Florida swamps into his own personal backlot. From rampaging crocodiles possessed by an ancient Seminole witch doctor (DEATH CURSE OF TARTU) to a slithering serpent named STANLEY, William Grefé would grind out low-budget exploitation films for drive-ins and hardtops around the world. Now, without the benefit of cages or other protective devices, the untold story of Florida's most daring moviemaker comes to the screen...IN PSYCHEDELIC COLOR! Featuring over 20 interviews, including STEVE ALAIMO ('Wild Rebels'), DOUG HOBART ('Sting of Death'), GARY CRUTCHER ('Stanley'), RANDY GRINTER ('Whiskey Mountain'), CHRIS ROBINSON ('Stanley'), FRED OLEN RAY ('Scalps'), FRANK HENENLOTTER ('Basket Case'), JOHN DAVIS CHANDLER ('Hooked Generation' & 'Mako'), DAVID F. FRIEDMAN ('She Freak'), and HERSCHELL GORDON LEWIS ('Blood Feast'), plus a special guest appearance by WILLIAM SHATNER ('Star Trek'), this explosive documentary packs enough THRILLS, CHILLS, and GILLS to make your skin CRAWL! Produced and directed by DANIEL GRIFFITH ('THE FLESH AND THE FURY: X-POSING TWINS OF EVIL' and 'MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000').
