Now, you've got me thinking about a traffic safety film they showed our PE class called Mechanized Death. It gave the gore flick Blood Feast, on at the drive in that year, a run for the money.
Scariest movies I have ever seen were the VD Films our local Doctors showed us when we were in Junior High.
We were a small town with one clinic, run by two Doctors, who were both veterans of WWII, and still in the reserves/guards. They had been there since the got home from WWII, and had delivered about half the kids in the junior high
They got tired of dealing with pregnant teenage girls, and convinced the parents, town fathers, religious leaders, and the school board that they should teach sex ed classes every other Thursday, during health class at the junior high. (They would talk to every adult who came through the doors of the clinic, and it was pretty easy to convince the adults that they were the best qualified to have “the talk” with the kids who were all their patients, and have them
sign their petition.).
The first film we saw, as seventh graders, featured a Marine Gunny Seargeant who had Non-Gohnacalcal A-23. This guy was strapped down in a bed with an IV drip, swollen up to the size of football with a discolored drainage oozing out the end. The “Doctor” in the white jacket stood beside the bed, and explained that the Gunny had gotten the infection through unprotected sex.
They now had him on an antibiotic drip, and if the swelling did not reduce in the next 24-hours, they were going to split the urethra, and manually scrub it.
And then our kind old Doctor, proceeded to explain that condoms would have prevented teh infection, and condoms were availiable in vending machines of all the restaurants, and the movie theater for 50-cents.
Every two weeks they had a new film, which the DoD had targeted at young servicemen, and they would proceed to show them to us junior high boys. Not sure what the nurses were showing the girls. But they eliminated teen pregnancy.
