Worthwhile as a drive-in theater relic only. You can also find "Fangs of the Living Dead" included on a horror/zombie compilation for about $9. I forget the name of the compilation, but I've seen it recently at several Sam Goody and SunCoast video stores in the New York metropolitan area. It's either in the bargain bin or the horror section. A clerk could probably find it for you. Of note to extreme trivia fans, the flick was included on a triple feature with "Revenge of the Living Dead" and "Curse of The Living Dead" that played mostly the drive-in theater circuit around August of 1973. During this period, you found many of these euro-trash horror pictures, i.e. She Beast, Terror Creatures from the Grave, Terror in the Wax Museum, Devil's Nightmare, etc. etc. either at the bottom of triple bills playing at drive-ins or packaged together on a triple-bill. The promoters likely acted on the thought that people would not pay to see a single bad movie with the usual badly-synchronized English dubbing. The media promotion for the triple zombie feature involved a man in a strait jacket who allegedly went insane upon sitting through the "triple avalanche of grisly horror!" "Can you survive this orgy of the living dead!" The television ad can be found on various Something Weird video compilations. I still have a fading yellow original Big Sky drive-in theater ad that appeared in a Madison, Wisconsin newspaper as part of my movie advertisement collection saved from childhood.
