While looking for some throwback YouTube clips from New Orleans, we came across this gem: an introduction to the 1968 b-to-the-extreme movie The Monster and the Stripper a.k.a. The Exotic Ones, made by Nashville’s “first family of film”, the Ormonds. The movie’s about a swamp monster (played by rockabilly singer Sleepy LaBeef) captured by a Bourbon Street strip club owner and used as entertainment in the club. The film is all camp, including this intro clip, which looks more like footage borrowed from an official tourism video.
