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.

"Seeing as almost all other Distribpix releases contain multiple films, it's a bit of a shame that here there's only 1 film, and quite a short one at that. Luckily, the slipcover, transfer and overall quality are top notch again. And there are 3 drug scare films to add a bit of value-for-money. The film itself is a concoction of '60s rock music and crazy anti-drug messaging, all shot in amazing B&W, rough and sweet."
"An LSD Counterculture film of its time. Imagine making a movie like this and deciding you want to take out the “sex stuff”?? Gorgeous packaging and I’m stoked about the poster! Gonna have to frame it and add it to the adult section of my media room."
"I usually enjoy these black and white early adult movies, but I was disappointed by this disc. Not enough sleaze, nudity, or drug taking. Bad acting and dialogue, but I enjoyed the music even though one song was played over and over again"
"Another wonderful, sleazey, gem from Something Weird and Distribpix. While not a film that demands repeated viewings, it's a good one to leave on in the background during a "gathering"."
"This one rates as a true rarity: It's a terrifically trashy 60's psychedelic sleaze romp about acid and its lethal side effects that's every bit as prurient and exploitative as its magnificently lurid title suggests. A naive blonde goody-goody two shoes college girl chemistry major who, of course, just happens to be a total cutie pie goes the standard immediate loss of innocence route when she's initiated into a lewd, sinful, debauched, and even dangerous world of sex'n'drugs'n'rock'n'roll music by several amoral trippy'n'dippy hipster degenerates."
"Whether or not the film does much for you, it's such a milestone in film history. And with that in mind, this release's importance can't be overstated! Incredible restoration and special features everywhere you look. A must have for any serious exploitation fan."
"This design is beautiful! I love the 60s vibe!"
"Blonde on a Bum Trip is a wild slice of late 60s sexploitation that doubles as a strange time capsule of the counterculture era. The film mixes psychedelic imagery, oddball characters, and free-form storytelling in a way that feels chaotic but strangely fascinating. It’s definitely unconventional, but that unpredictability is part of the appeal. The music adds a lot to the experience. The soundtrack captures the era perfectly, with psychedelic rock and experimental sounds that match the film’s trippy tone. It helps anchor the movie in its time and gives many scenes extra energy. The overall box and packaging are nicely done, giving the release a collector-friendly feel. The design fits the film’s psychedelic vibe and looks great displayed alongside other cult titles. Overall, this is a strange but entertaining artifact from exploitation cinema, presented in a way that makes it fun to revisit and appreciate as a piece of film history."
"Reflects the swinging culture and the side-effects. Best part is the Booklet."
"Another great Distribix/Something Weird collaborative release. The film itself is beautifully restored, with deep black levels making it look like a Criterion release. The extras lend contextualisation, while adding some brilliant LSD-themed shorts (a couple. of which can be found on AGFA's Drug Stories - also highly recommended). The artwork is great and the packaging sturdy. Needless to say, a big thumbs-up from Me. Buy with confidence!"
