From nudies to roughies to ultra weird regional curiosities, the sexploitation world welcomed any filmmaker working in any genre, so long as the limits of nudity and sex on screen were pushed as far as they could go - but never all the way. DISTRIBPIX, one of the legendary names in the genre (and whose extensive library will be the backbone of this line), will offer single, double, and even triple feature Blu-rays highlighting works from every corner and crevice of softcore smut, from the dawn of nudie cuties to the all-but-hard 70s, with plentiful lost and never on disc films along the way.
Innocent small-town college coed Suzzane falls in with the wrong crowd when her roommate enlists her help in making homemade LSD. Initially reluctant to partake, Suzanne eventually gives in and is soon after embroiled in the underground world of hallucinogenic free love as she abandons her prim and proper morals in favor of increasingly kinky, acid fueled sex trips. Unfortunately it’s also not long before the more sinister side of the drug begins to take effect, leading to an orgy of both sex and violence…
A grimy and spirited New York indie produced by future exploitation legends Jack Bravman (Snuff) and Ed Adlum (Shriek of the Mutilated), and directed by character actor Raf Mauro, BLONDE ON A BUM TRIP effectively integrates the then craze of drug (and particularly LSD) scare films into a nudie setup, resulting in a wonderfully weird grindhouse classic which has gained cult status in no small part due to its incredible original garage-rock soundtrack by The E-Types and The Vagrants. Long unavailable on video, Distribpix and Something Weird proudly present the world Blu-ray debut of this fan favorite, newly restored in 4K from its original camera negative and loaded with new and archival extras including multiple filmmaker commentaries.

— Matthew F. (5/5)
60s Sexploitation + drugs
"The restoration looks great for the genre of film. A cocktail of sex and drugs with a main character a naive college transfer who knows chemistry and learns to make LSD. Catchy music. It’s not peak cinema but it’s a lot of fun."
— Brent B. (4/5)
Decent film, great cover
"This is a fairly interesting film, very much a snapshot of a specific moment in history. It has some flourishes but also some less exciting segments. The packaging is outstanding though, some of the best I've seen."
— Jeppe M. (4/5)
Nothing bum about this trip
"Another great Sexploitation classic. The restoration looks great, the design of the whole packaging is superb. The soundtrack is fantasitc, get it on vinyl if you can. Vintage LSD and rock and roll. What's not to love?"
— Adam R. (4/5)
Sexploitation Meets Counterculture
"Take Andy Warhol and Timothy Leary and what do you get? Something like this movie. Incredible, crisp transfer."
— Zakaria S. (5/5)
This is great
"A reserved exploitation film with some good for,the genre, acting and the movie starts with a murder. This is one of my favorite Distribpix. Love the packaging too. And some people saying it doesn’t say who the murderer was, it absolutely does."
— Bruce K. (4/5)
Loved the nice B&W photography,
"Loved the nice B&W photography, even if the movie itself dragged a bit. Worth a watch if you're into this 60s sexploitation."

Blonde on a Bum Trip
"I prefer the version from Women in Revolt"
— Jack H. (3/5)
Rock and Roll + LSD = Bum Trip
"Blonde on a Bum Trip (1968), directed by Raf Mauro, is a wild blend of sexploitation and drug-scare cinema, elevated by a genuinely phenomenal soundtrack. It follows a bright, innocent young woman who gets swept up in the intoxicating rush of first love—only for that powerful emotion to collide with heavy doses of LSD and rock 'n' roll, sending her on a very bad trip. The film is a perfect time capsule of late-’60s exploitation excess, and this new restoration looks and sounds fantastic. The extras are excellent too. I really hope Distribpix keeps digging up and releasing more of these wild 60s sexploitation gems. Highly recommended for fans of the genre!"
— Pedro G. (5/5)
