"Godfather of Gore" Herschell Gordon Lewis followed up his hillbilly horror extravaganza Two Thousand Maniacs (1964) with this cornpone tale about a country and western singer (Charles Glore from the aforementioned Maniacs) who with his girlfriend (Marilyn Walters, later in The Spy Who Came) returns to his rustic roots for songwriting inspiration. Instead, they stumble into in a battle over moonshine between a hillbilly clan and a psychopathic sheriff (Gordon Oas-Heim from Paul Morrissey's Bad). Glore, originally from Waycross, Georgia, was screenwriter as well as star. Also with Jeffrey Allen (Santa Claus from Lewis' The Magic Land of Mother Goose), Ben Moore (She Freak), and Body Shop auteur J. G. "Pat" Patterson.
