I saw Run Home, Slow when I was 10 or 11 and it blew me away. My stepfather would often take us to drive-in movies (Louisville '68-'71) where I saw all the spaghetti westerns, Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, etc. Most of what I saw clearly wasn't age appropriate, which is why it was so powerful. This film had a big effect on me, so much so that I would incessantly imitate the hunchback character to entertain (and creep out) my mother and brothers.
But I didn't know until today that Frank Zappa did the sound track. Cool.
