Scream Free! (1969)
6/10
Dig the late Casey Kasem as a drug dealer in Scream Free!

Warning: Spoilers
With Casey Kasem having died recently, I've been going on YouTube to watch some of his movies like The Glory Stompers and The Cycle Savages and then this. In this one, he plays a drug dealer named Phil with Warren Finnerty as his partner, Barney. Compared to his previous two I just mentioned, he has a pretty big role here with his name above the title along with Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn, and Lana Wood. The first two were in West Side Story with Lana's sis Natalie Wood so, yes, Beymer is paired with Lana here. Oh, and one more thing: Second generation Hollywood players Jody McCrea and Lindsay Crosby-who were with Kasem in TGS as a rival motorcycle gang member and fellow bike member, respectively-appear as narcotics officers with Casey actually offing Lindsay here! Actually, another thing-the director was Bill Brame who also did TCS and the writer/producer was John Lawrence who also did TGS. In summary, this was quite a groovy trip to the psychedelic drug/music scene of LA with plenty of trippy images whenever Beymer hallucinates! So on that note, I recommend Scream Free! for what I just mentioned.
