Ed Wood’s THE VIOLENT YEARS Now Available on Blu-ray From AGFA and Something Weird

“These aren’t kids. These are morons!”

A new 4K transfer of Ed Wood’s girl gang explosion THE VIOLENT YEARS (1956) is currently available from AGFA and Something Weird

“I shot a cop — SO WHAT!” So say the girl gang thrill-killers of Ed Wood’s delirious THE VIOLENT YEARS! Written by legendary Hollywood outsider Edward D. Wood, Jr. (PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE), this is the story of Paula Parkins, a good-girl-gone-bad who leads her degenerate teenage hellcats down a path of gas station hijackings, pajama party orgies, and cold-blooded murder! From Wood’s patently deranged dialogue to the scene where the gang performs a “man attack,” THE VIOLENT YEARS is an essential expose on crime, gender politics, and sweater-stealing. Remember, “This is a story of violence!”

Paula Parkins is the teenage daughter of wealthy parents whom don’t seem to make time for her, so she looks for thrills as the leader of her all-girl gang who steal, rob, and rape young men. Screenplay by Ed Wood. The film has been paired with Boris Petroff’s crime thriller Anatomy of a Psycho.
