Encyclopedia > Fredric Hobbs

Fredric Hobbs is an American filmmaker who made several bizarre, experimental films in the early 70's. His films were outlandish, contained little plot and featured such things as vampires, robots, hippies, mutant sheep and strange musical numbers.

Hippies (singular hippie or sometimes hippy) were members of the 1960s counterculture movement who adopted a communal or nomadic lifestyle, renounced corporate nationalism and the Vietnam War, embraced aspects of Buddhism, Hinduism, and/or Native American religious culture, and were otherwise at odds with traditional middle class Western values. ...

Scanlines: A couple of cult films (1138 words)
Alabama's Ghost is another installment in the triptych of films from the inept genius Fredric Hobbs (the third film is 1977's Roseland).
The time comes for Alabama's big show and he cruises up in the Alabama-mobile, Hobbs' "transcontinental automotive sculpture" (a cat-turd-colored thing with various evil-looking heads sprouting up out of it), a robot Alabama is substituted, and I won't give away the ending.
I can't figure out whether drugs played a part in Fredric Hobbs' imagination, or if he's just totally eccentric, but either way this movie and The Godmonster of Indian Flats are two of the most bizarre entries that you'll run across.
