A sneeze turns a henpecked husband into an invisible prowler in this 1969 sexploitation sci-fi farce.
HENRY'S NIGHT IN
A nerdy guy mixes up a magic formula and becomes invisible whenever he sneezes. He uses his power of invisibility to sneak into his neighbors' bedrooms at night when their husbands aren't home and have his way with them.
If you've ever wondered what The Invisible Man would look like if he raided a 1960s nudist colony, Henry delivers.
When mother issues, marital strife, and a 17th-century diary collide, you get a softcore sci-fi caper that sees our nebbish hero sneezing his way through suburban bedrooms. It's the Invisible Man by way of a nudie cutie, with hypnosis, voyeurism, and X-rated hijinks in every corner.

Synopsis
Henry brews up the mixture, and discovers it works, with a twist -- it takes effect when he sneezes, and he becomes visible again when he sneezes a second time. Once he becomes invisible, Henry begins creeping through the neighborhood, sneaking into the homes of beautiful women and seducing them, though under the cover of darkness they all seem to believe he's a guy named Jack. While Henry's nocturnal exploits boost his confidence, Martha is soon convinced that her hubby is up to something, especially after a party for her girlfriends is overrun by a pack of invisible mice.
Martha also unwittingly learns the secret of the very popular Jack. Henry's Night In was written and shot in the manner of an early-'60s nudie comedy, but since it was made in 1969 it features more nudity than most films of its type; for some reason, the picture was released without any credits for the crew or the creative team.
Why Cult
The invisibility potion only works when Henry sneezes—and another sneeze brings him back, adding comic chaos to every tryst.
A rare blend of 1960s sex comedy and science fiction, doubling down on both bedroom antics and madcap potions.
Leans into the 'nudie cutie' tradition with a parade of neighbors, softcore scenes, and plenty of voyeuristic gags.
Certified X and proudly independent, it's a time capsule from the wildest fringes of late-'60s cinema.
