Coming Up on TV: Hot Rods from Hell

Dana Andrews and his innocent family

Here’s a guilty pleasure that has earned it way into my Bad Movie Festival and you can watch it on Turner Classic Movies on April 17.  In Hot Rods from Hell, Dana Andrews’ (!) innocent family is terrorized by two teen punks and a punkette in the Mojave.  This 1967 movie has the odd feel of a 1962 or even 1957 film.

Watch Dana Andrews asking himself why he is in this movie, 23 years after starring in Laura and The Ox-Bow Incident.
