Defined in the glossary: Acid & psychedelic
Corman stages an LSD experience with every optical trick he had. Written by Jack Nicholson.
Roger Corman's attempt to put an acid trip on screen, written by Jack Nicholson and starring Peter Fonda as a TV-commercial director who takes LSD and experiences the whole psychedelic light show. Corman reportedly dropped acid himself to research it.
It is less a story than a sustained sensory sequence, all strobing colour, body paint and fractured montage, and it captures the moment the counterculture and the exploitation industry discovered each other. Bruce Dern and Dennis Hopper co-star. A period document as much as a film.

A deaf runaway searches for her brother in Haight-Ashbury. Nicholson with a ponytail and a band.

Jodorowsky's mystical, violent acid western. It essentially invented the midnight movie.
Wild in the Streets
A rock star is elected president and puts everyone over 35 in LSD re-education camps.
The Holy Mountain
Jodorowsky's spiritual epic. Every frame is a blasphemous tableau, and it is dead serious.
Blue Sunshine
A batch of ten-year-old LSD makes people go bald and homicidal. A great, paranoid premise.
