“I shot a cop—SO WHAT!” So say the girl gang thrill-killers of THE VIOLENT YEARS! Written by legendary Hollywood outsider Edward D. Wood, Jr. (PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, GLEN OR GLENDA), this is the delirious 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 exposé on crime, gender politics, and sweater-stealing. Remember: “This is a story of violence!”

"You should know what you're getting yourself into when you see Ed Wood's name, so you should know already if this release is for you or not. I'm a big Something Weird fan, so I love that the booklet contains images of some ephemera they had relating to this film."
"One of my favorite Ed Wood films in a wonderful special edition."
"Glad to have this in my collection."
"Another AGFA hit!!"
"Deliriously wonderful like everything Ed Wood touched. Hope to see ‘The Sinister Urge’ soon handled with such deserved respect."
"Have to be seen to be. . . Iv'e seen it and it's still hard to believe this was made in 1956!"
"Sick film! Love the fifties stuff!"
"Great film from Ed Wood."
"You need them all together and this is a great set"
"For what amounts to a PSA about the dangers of being a shitty parent and/or a wild girl, this was actually a lot of fun. I absolutely love the fashion style of these crazy ladies; I love that what turns them into most wanted by the cops is roughing up a classroom (cuz school is for losers); I love that most of the blame is put on the parents for being self-absorbed dicks. Well worth a watch for lovers of weirdo movie ephemera and John Waters style camp!"
