THE HAUNTED HOUSE OF HORROR - The Pretty Things - Reg Tilsley - "The Dark" (1969)

It's Friday night and it's time to rock!!! Long overdue for the credit it deserves as being one of the first ever 'slasher' movies, and almost impossible to find anywhere, "The Haunted House Of Horror" is a killer movie on a number of levels. The location is Mod Carnaby Street London 1969, and most of the rockin' music (too bad a lot of the time it's way in the background) is by one of the most underrated and coolest longhair bands of the 60's, The Pretty Things!! Just like the theme, when the Pretty Things weren't rocking the joint, the background music you'll hear was provided by composer Reg Tilsley, who also wrote the music for a couple of Benny Hill episodes among his other many accomplishments!!

1960's ballad singer turned actor Mark Wynter belts out what sounds like a classic drunken pub tune written by Peter Marcus, entitled "Responsibility"!!

This movie is so odd, you've got Frankie Avalon in the starring role as Chris. At this point Frankie's beach party movies were a good 4 or 5 years behind him, and his career consisted of mostly TV shows. It's shocking right from the beginning watching him smoke and drink and talk about his drug arrests, and all that's long before the blood starts flowing, but somehow this movie is just not recognized for it's very early effort in the 'slasher' movie genre, even though it's about young people, has multiple gruesome killings, and has an unsuspected killer with at least a couple of personalities!! This movie is much more related to "Halloween" and "Friday The 13th" than "Psycho" is, and last but not least, it's in color and there's real honest to goodness rock and roll!!! So, what's up with all that? How come this movie doesn't get the praise heaped on it that it deserves, and instead, for all rights and purposes, the master copy probably doesn't even exist anymore for all we know!!! Wha'Happen??? I don't get it!!! All we know is after you hear this music, you're not only going to want to find a copy of this film, but you're also going to be wanting to hear some more of The Pretty Things, one of the best bands of the 60's, period!! Try not stomping your foot along with this party music!!

Let's not forget to give Cinematographer Jack Atcheler a big hand for his part in the awesome look of this film!! "Look, it's a hole!"

Still to this day, one of our favorite things to do is get drunk and have a seance in a haunted house!

Gina Warwick as Sylvia needs to answer some questions!! "Yes, Please come in!!"

Jill Haworth as Sheila comes into this very chic club to talk to Chris and the Inspector as some band wails "A Very Cool Tune" in the background! It looks like the name on the drum is Jazz Mine or something like that! Oh, yeah, nice outfits, and how about the fact that their friend was just violently murdered but Chris is still horny and he smiles a lot!!

This really nice shot is for all you Frankie Avalon fans!!!!

Here we have Chris and Richard portrayed by Julian Barnes face off!! It's up to you to decide who the real psycho is!! It's said that David Bowie was originally chosen for the role of Richard, but that A.I.P. felt that David and Frankie Avalon would clash on screen!! Aw!!! Too bad!!!! Like this flick isn't cool enough already!!!!!

"The Haunted House Of Horror" is definitely worth searching out. The only place I could find a copy of it on the whole Internet was on www.ioffer.com sold by the seller named 'sirrastus.' Just go there and do a search, he has pretty dang nice copies! I don't even like 'slasher' films, but this classic horror fest has got it all, conceptually, musically and visually! Dig In Fiends!!

THE SHE-CREATURE - AIP 1956 - (Ronald Stein music)

That's right! Tabonga here again. Tonight we feature my Big Sister, THE SHE-CREATURE and that master of music, Mr. Ronald Stein!

Okay, so here is theme plus odds and ends to keep you entertained ... THE SHE-CREATURE

Must be nice being gaggle of snooty rich jerk-o-holics!

Oops, daughter have eye on Lance Fuller, better hope Joi don't find out! Dad say Lance was A-Hole on set!! Act like he was big shot!

Tabonga not like ferris wheels!!! Be too top heavy!

Chester warn Paul to quit snooping around, OR!..

SICK'EM, BIG SIS!!

Poor Paul get it in yet another flick!

The fuzz is more than useless!

Marla is hot, hot, hot!

One last thing... Big Sis has really Big Boobs!

FROZEN ALIVE (Der Fall X701) - Eric Spears - "Look Here J.B." (1964)

This West German production had so much cool music in it, that this will be the fourth and last installment of information from this film! If you want to know more about composer Eric Spears, please just search our archives for a whole bevy of information and even more cool music from "Frozen Alive."

These doctor people are just scary!!!

Besides the super fantastic score, this movie is worth watching just to see this big porthole door!!

"To the Queen Of The Jungle!" Well, Hello there 'Elephant Boy'!!!

The music in this film is off the charts!! Not the most exciting movie in the world, but well worth seeing for the soundtrack alone!!

THE BEAST WITH A MILLION EYES - ARC 1955 - John Bickford (music supervisor)

Tabonga is back and tonight we doing another flick featuring cool junk by my dad, Paul Blaisdell. Also, our man Forry is string puller of rocket!! Ding Dang, it Double Doobie Tuesday!

This poster look fantastic, right?, the best, awesome!! When backers see flick for first time, well, they slightly disappointed.... Nicholson and Arkoff crazy dudes, man!!

Oh, boy, here we go! Okay, dude's name is 'Him' and sometime they call him 'He!' Drive me freakin' nutty!!

Now, some good stuff! Attack by chickens being thrown!

Oh, best part... Birds totally crap all over family car! Yeah, boy, big threat from outer space!!

This scene is whack! But, at least beast tells 'He' to clock dude driving car! Look like 'Him' really hits dude... HARD!!.. My favorite part!

Hmmmm... Look like beast have only one big ol' bloodshot eyeball!!

With no budget, hard to make scale (or, reality) work sometimes!

Paul Birch getting tired because wife is heavy and they do too many takes! Look at all the feetprints in sand!!

Wait, writer say two people who in love stronger than beast with one million eyes?, and then can topple him over too?!! What gives?! Tabonga not buying that crap!! Mr. Writer, see you in hell one day and we straighten it all out!

3... 2... 1... Blastoff with BEAST WITH A MILLION EYES

THE ANGRY RED PLANET - Paul Dunlap - "Serenity Of A Martian Landscape" (1960)

"The Angry Red Planet" was one of the hardest films to choose stills from, because if you've got a good copy, almost every frame is terrific, except for the one's with Gerald Mohr's hairy chest in it, so what I'm going to do is show you some random shots. The music here is very esoteric and odd. It's kind of like jazzy Hawaiian music from outer space! You know what I'm talking about! The magnificent genius of Paul Dunlap is once again responsible for setting the mood!! Be prepared for something like nothing you have ever heard before in your life!!

Having Jack Kruschen reading a science fiction pulp was a stroke of genius! If it had only been a comic book, it would have been even cooler!!

Pretty fancy GPS tracking device, because you know, it's always good to know where you're going in space!

Hot red port!

Cool down Port!!

Naura Hayden, or as she was known in this film Nora Hayden was quite lovely when she let her hair down!!

The way past cool theme from "The Angry Red Planet" was the first monster movie music we showcased on this blog, go back to July 2007 and see how things have changed in the mere 10 months since we started!!

IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA - Mischa Bakaleinikoff - "Deep Island Swing" (1955)

Tonight we get another chance to tout the fabulous talents of composer Mischa Bakaleinikoff in this classic film, "It Came From Beneath The Sea"! Mischa could write orchestrated classics to stand the test of time or swing with the best of them, and you know it's the swing we appreciate the most around here!!

It cracks me up the way Commander Pete just flops his arms over and hangs on the periscope handles!

Kenneth Tobey and Chuck Griffiths! Funny! One guy goes on to be in almost every TV show of the 60's, and the other guy never acts in the movies or TV again! Crazy!!
The guys in the sub are getting island music pumped in, but the captain knows they are going to start wanting Mai-Tais any minute, so they change the music to some big band beat, and what do you know, now they all want Martinis!!

I don't think this is the kind of sushi they were expecting for dinner! It's big, and it's still alive!!! Must have been beyond their comprehension, and we can all thank the king of stop-action animation, Ray Harryhausen, for that!

THE ALLIGATOR PEOPLE - Irving Gertz - "I'll Kill You Alligator Man!" (1959)

Well, while we're hanging out in the swamp, we might as well continue in the same vein, albeit, the music herein this time is a lot more esoteric than in "The Dead One!" "The Alligator People" is a fairly lame motion picture, but it is also very creepy! Composer Irving Gertz's contributions to 50's and 60's monster movies is almost unsurpassed when you consider some of the titles he's composed for. Besides "The Alligator People" and "The Deadly Mantis", there's "The Monolith Monsters", "The Thing That Couldn't Die", "The Leech Woman", and "The Incredible Shrinking Man!" The crazy thing is, those are just some of the titles, there's also a slew of western, war, and detective flicks in Irving's portfolio!!!

This is a very nice shot of Bverly Garland when she hears the haunting melody on the piano, and starts descending the stairs!!!

Who'd a guessed? It's her husband, the scaly, but still handsome Richard Crane, but she still just can't quite figure it out!

Oh, No, Lon's drinkin' again!! He's got girlie pictures hanging on the wall of his shack, and when he's lonely, the evil Lennie side of him comes out!

The acting by Beverly Garland and Lon Chaney Jr. is solid.

I still wince every time I watch the scene where he punches her, especially knowing Lon had a reputation for being a pretty physical guy!! Bam!!!

"I'll Kill You Alligator Man!"

Too bad they didn't combine the best parts of this movie and the best of "Manfish" and come up with one solid movie, instead of two that just barely make it!

THE DEAD ONE (Blood Of The Zombie) - Joe Burton - Joe Jones Orchestra - "Bourbon Street" (1961)

Back in 1964 we created the first issue of "Dwrayger Dungeon!" It was a run of approximately 18 copies and was mimeographed in my Mom's office at the school where she worked. It was all but dead after one issue until we came up with this online version last year! One of the articles in that first issue was, "Ralphie's Reviews - Twenty-Five Worst Movies." #13 on the list was "The Dead One," and I quote the review, "The Dead One" is dead. Ain't that a relief?"

Now, like 44 years later, things are a lot clearer! "The Dead One" is still alive and well, and has some of the coolest jazz that you will ever find in any release of the time and probably ever. The movie opens on Bourbon Street in 'Nawlins, and "The Joe Burton Trio" is hot!!! It's truly amazing how one of the worst movies ever made could also have some of the best music. This is pure gin and tonic jazz, and is great from start to finish!

They just forgot one thing, it's 1961, kids like rock, not jazz, kids go to these monster movies, not adults, what were they thinking?

There's some crazy music and they play it loud down at the 500 Club, when I said Joe sent me, some one laughed out loud, down at the 500 Club!!

There's some smokey honkin' sax music and crazy dialogue going on down at "The Dream Room!"

Nice honeymoon!! This dude just gets married and where does he take his new blushing bride? Bourbon Street jazz bars and strip clubs!!

Ah, Bella Bella, "Come on boys, she'll really work for you if you applaud!"

Then we move on down the street to see the ever so talented "Joe Jones Orchestra" blowing some of the hottest Dixie around, guaranteed!!

Meanwhile, you almost forgot we had this whole other story going on!
"Kill, Kill, Kill!!!

And then the Michael Jackson impersonator, aka the zombie, shows up!!!

And who is responsible for all this madness?? From Bakersfield, Calif, Barry Mahon wrote, directed, and produced "The Dead One" before going on to produce scores of early 60's nudie cutie peepshow movies, with titles like "Hot Skin, Cold Cash" and "Hollywood Nudes Report." This is the same Barry Mahon who was held prisoner during WWII, and was the basis for the character portrayed by Steve McQueen in "The Great Escape"!! Whew!!!!! Too bad Barry passed away in 1999, because I'm sure he had some great stories still left to tell!! Barry was an artiste of the highest caliber and we're lucky to be able to see just this little bit of what was inside his mind!!

THE HEADLESS GHOST - Gerard Schurmann - "Ghost Dance" (1959)

This is yet another Herman Cohen Production, so it's no wonder that the music is once again by Gerard Schurmann, the same composer Herman used on "Horrors Of The Black Museum" and "Konga!" Unfortunately, "The Headless Ghost" is a rather droll little film with actors and a plot that's pretty hard to care about, and basically, it's one saving grace is this dance number that the ghosts share with the kids.

The ever so stunning Josephine Blake dances up a storm as the ghost dancer, and Gerald's music rocks out like a George Martin production of "Aladdin!"

London stage performer Josephine, definately had it going on!!!

She shimmies............and.......

She struts for the headless ghost guy, too bad he can't see her! After that, the dance is over and it's dullsville all over again!! Probably the low point of Herman Cohen's monster movies as far as we're concerned, but at least he has all those other classic killer titles to his name, so we'll forgive him for this one!!!

FANTASTIC VOYAGE - Leonard Rosenman - "Antibodies" (1966)

Big budget films weren't nearly as much fun as a Roger Corman or Jerry Warren film, but every once in a while they did something fairly intriguing like "Fantastic Voyage" that had a lot of interesting visuals, and music to go with them. "Rebel Without A Cause" and "East Of Eden" composer Leonard Rosenman, who, unfortunately just passed away a couple of months ago, had 50 years of contributions to Hollywood music, and that is quite 'fantastic' unto itself!!

Hey Buddy, can you give me directions to the nearest Headshop?

You know, it just ain't cool when the doctors working on you are all wringing their hands and look like this!!!

Let's give a big hand to Craven Walker, the creator of the 'Lava Lamp' for his influence here!!!

Who says Raquel Welch can't act?

After Raquel is attacked, they are stuck on the horns of a dilemma trying to detach these little antibody beggars from every part of her body tactfully!!!

MANFISH - Clyde Hoyte/Richard Koerner- "Big Fish - Beware The Caribbean" (1956)

Well, first off, I'd like to thank my old buddy Tabonga for filling in the last four days while I wandered aimlessly in the desert. To be honest with you, I wasn't sure if that loghead could put a complete sentence together or not, but I think he did a great job for someone who has a turnip for a cousin! So, we decided to let him continue to do the posts on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting next week, and that will give me a bit of a break and help keep my burnout to a minimum and we can keep this thing rolling!

So, let's celebrate and keep the party going with some 'Island Music' from a movie called "Manfish"!! Now, this is one movie I had never seen before, and I must admit, I was a bit disappointed as I was sure there was going to be some cool creature like from a black lagoon, but no, "Manfish" is the name of the boat! This is an 'Island' movie with Lon Chaney Jr. in it, and the story is based on two Edgar Allen Poe stories, "The Gold Bug" & "The Tell-Tale Heart," and that's about all that qualifies it as a horror movie!

"Big Fish" and "Goodbye" were written and performed by the multi-talented Clyde Hoyte, composer and journalist as who else but, "Calypso!" Clyde passed away in 2003!

Underwater skeletons are always scary! Drunk ones are even scarier!!

Richard Koerner wrote "Beware The Caribbean" and is incredibly impossible to find any information about. I have no idea who the woman is or what key she is singing in. It's very hard to decide if she is a really good or a really bad vocalist. Listen to it and you be the judge!!

This movie was filmed in Jamaica in 1956, and it is now in public domain. This was a transitional time in 'Island Music' closing out the years of Mento and Calypso and moving towards Ska and Reggae. Here Clyde Hoyte does a reprise of "Big Fish."

I have been doing a lot of reading about Lon Chaney Jr. lately, and by the looks of it, I think he probably really enjoyed this shoot!!!

IT! THE TERROR FROM BEYOND SPACE - 1958 Vogue Pictures - (Music by Paul Sawtell & Bert Shefter)

Tabonga's brother, IT!, star in tonight's flick from 1958. They use him again in INVISIBLE INVADERS! Music is by Paul Sawtell and Bert Shefter. If it sound like KRONOS theme, that because Shefter did that one! Sawtell has super long list of work!

So, here's theme and some interesting dialogue... IT! THE TERROR FROM BEYOND SPACE

Same rocket from WORLD WITHOUT END and QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE! "Hey! What gives?!"

See, space travel lots of fun and very social!

HEY, BRO!!.. Keep up the good work!

End with great lobby card!! BANG! BANG!

ROBOT MONSTER - 1953 / 3-D / Phil Tucker - (Elmer Bernstein score)

And, again, Tabonga is here! Tonight, we have all-time nutso classic, ROBOT MONSTER!.. So, what can big splinter-head like Tabonga say about this flick?.. Well, music is excellent because of killer composer dude, Elmer Bernstein!! Elmer did score for CAT-WOMEN OF THE MOON too! Another nice thing is title card, great! Oh, bubble machine!.. But, what Tabonga like very best is just one thing!..

Yes, correct, Claudia Barrett as Alice! She look totally great in 3-D!!

Phil slightly insane if he think this is good picnic spot!.. But, hey, his stupid movie!

You know, Tabonga interested in what under there too!!

Sometimes, if squint just right... Oh, never mind.

Good idea!.. Let Ro-Man strangle bratty little kid, in 3-D no less!! Johnny was annoying though, right?!

Then, Great Guidance sends out his lightning ray in 3-D! This same kind of effect used in CAPE CANAVERAL MONSTERS!

Then, turn into silly slapstick comedy! So, here's theme, toy piano and sci-fi music from... ROBOT MONSTER

EARTH vs. THE SPIDER aka THE SPIDER - 1958 AIP/Mr. BIG - (Albert Glasser / Theme)

Tabonga again!.. Tonite is 'theme that likes to beat you up' by one of our faves, Mr. Albert Glasser! Tabonga like the theremin and intrusive surprise element it use to sucker punch you in nose! Win by KO!!

Above is pic of Dave the motorcycle cop after little run-in with big, bad spider, dummy made by my dad, Paul Blaisdell! Dad also make big spider leg in gym.

Get ready, here's... Earth vs. The Spider theme

Always nice to see parents mentioned! You know, I think dad make that web and spider there too!

Here is funny shot of Gene Roth taking a leak because they make him stand in for self!!

Wow, look, a shoe box!! Tabonga had uncle with two! Nothing more Tabonga care about than old, vintage jalopies! Everyone have to treat with much respect!

Oh, nice Buick!.. Wait, it had crash!! Hey, who could crash such classic car like that?!! WHO CAN BE THAT STUPID IDIOT??!!!

Oh, yeah, great, look, big surprise!!... Woman driver!...... HAVE FUN IN HELL, YOU DUMB BROAD!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!.....

Don't know why this kid didn't get an Academy Award! Shame on you, Mr. BIG!

el Regreso del Monstruo (RETURN OF THE MONSTER) - 1960 Mex - (Mayhem & Transformation)

Hello, everybloody!.. This Tabonga here. For four nights in row, I control the vertical, I control the horizontal. Tonight, time to go Mex again with freaky little number called "el Regreso del Monstruo" or "Return of the Monster" here in old USA, and, no telling who does music? Got me!..... So, first, title song, then some mayhem, and then very cool transformation sounds. Enjoy!

Give a listen to Return of the Monster

It hurt to be a monster!

Tabonga would like pet skeleton!

Dreamin' he baaaaad monster!!

Sleep tight, and, don't let the monstruo bite!

THE GIANT GILA MONSTER - Jack Marshall/Don Sullivan - "Mushroom Dance Attack" (1959)

"The Giant Gila Monster" is another one of those films that was so packed with musical superstars, you almost take it all for granted. Like "Ghost Of Dragstrip Hollow" or "Horror Of Party Beach," the rockin' sounds just keep on coming!!

The composer for the soundtrack in "The Giant Gila Monster" was Jack Marshall, who went on to do the music for 70 "Munsters" TV episodes. His swingin' compositions are some of the best anywhere!!!

The Masestro Paul Tanner, who played trombone and sat behind Whitey Thomas with the original Glenn Miller Orchestra, handles the job of providing the eerie elements on his invention, the electro-theremin which was a new and improved version of the original theremin. Paul also played the electro-theremin on The Beach Boys song, "Good Vibrations"!!!!! Paul is about 92 these days and still going strong!!!

Don gets a Coke, takes a swig, and hands it to Lisa who doesn't notice, so he takes another drink and now she's looking for her cue, and he's drinking it!

Old Man Harris portrayed by bass fiddle player Shug Fisher went on to play with Roy Rogers and the Sons Of The Pioneers before becoming a regular as Shorty Kellums on "The Beverly Hillbillies."

Don Sullivan, who also starred in Jerry Warren's "Teenage Zombies" does a reprise of the over the top super sweet "The Mushroom Song."

Just when Don sings the lyric "and the Lord said I created for you, a world of joy, from out of the blue" the giant lizard, which wasn't even really a gila monster, busts through the wall and scares the crap out of all the kids!! How ironic, how laconic!!!

The short guy hanging on to the tall guy in fear for his life is pretty funny!!

Don says, "Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

This movie is available anywhere and everywhere for free, so there is absolutely no reason or excuse not to see it!!! None!!

THE NASTY RABBIT - Arch Hall - "Jackie" (1964)

First off, this is what you need to do before attempting to watch this movie!!

I almost forgot this was still laying around, one of my least favorite songs from what is indubitably the worst Arch Hall film, "The Nasty Rabbit." I've carped about it enough times already, so let's just get it going.

All the guys have got eyes for "Jackie"!!! This was Sharon Ryker's only appearance on film, so you better make the most of it!!

Jackie only has eyes for our hero, Britt!

This is a cute little scene where Arch and the boys are serenading Jackie. Actually, after multiple listenings, this song is starting to grow on me, like a fungus! You know, it just makes you want to take Arch and throw him in the pool!!!

Just to show you it was a joke, here's a picture of the whole cast together. See, they were just acting, they really like each other. There's not really a bomb!!

MONSTROSITY (The Atomic Brain) - Gene Kauer - "She Thinks She's A Cat" (1964)

"The Atomic Brain" is a freaky little movie that seems a lot older than it is. Composer Gene Kauer, sometimes working as Guenther Kauer seemed to either have a penchant for, or just needed the money for, quite a string of freaky little movies. Titles like "Cape Canaveral Monsters", another 'Atomic' monster movie, "Beast Of Yucca Flats", "Mother Goose A Go-Go", and "Agent For H.A.R.M.", just to name a few, before ending his career with the music for the original "Faces Of Death" series.

In 1958 Gene co-wrote two songs with Johnny Cash for a feature film "Five Minutes To Live", the title song and another song called "I've Come To Kill!" The film which starred Johnny Cash wasn't released until 1961, and was later re-released with added footage in 1966 as "Door-To-Door Maniac!" Quite an interesting and prolific tunesmith, Gene passed away back in 1983!!

Normally playing a cop, a captain or a cowboy, Frank Gerstle does a good job in his only mad doctor role as Dr. Otto Frank. Combine his names in this film and he's Frank Frank!!

It's pretty darn hard not to be weird, when you're talking about brain transplants because some evil rich old bag wants the body of a young woman!!

So.....They transplanted a cat's brain into this lady, and so now what do you do with her? She eats mice and doesn't brush her teeth, and probably would be very popular on myspace!!

The music from "The Atomic Brain" is odd, brash, eerie, pungent, spacey and will slap you in the face, and kick you if you go down, so listen with caution!!!

Revenge really is sweet, and Dr. Frank's bad karma cup was filled to the brim and overflowing!! Go get a copy to find out his fate!!

THE BLACK ZOO - Paul Dunlap - "King Come On" (1963)

As far as cool jazz scores for monster movies goes, Paul Dunlap is definitely one of the names at the very top of the list with mandatory titles like "Angry Red Planet", "I Was A Teenage Werewolf", "Blood Of Dracula", "How To Make A Monster", "Frankenstein 1970" and so much more, including this great film "The Black Zoo"!!! Now, while "The Black Zoo" is often thought of as the last corner of the Michael Gough horror trilogy that also includes "Konga" and "The Horrors Of The Black Museum," there is one difference, and that is those other two Herman Cohen masterpieces, while both being very swingin', had soundtracks composed by Gerard Schurmann, yet another truly super talented individual!!

First we're introduced to Mr. Jeffrey Stengle, played by Jerome Cowan, who passed away back in 1972, but whose legacy will live on forever through his work. He had been in the movies since 1936 and had gone on to be in a ton of TV shows of every ilk and flavor. Cowboys, cop shows, and comedies, Jerome did them all!

Here we get a big dose of Michael playing the organ. Just about the time that you think he's going to break into "In A Gadda Da Vida" is when it cuts to........

This scene where Mike's wife Edna, played by the charming Jeanne Cooper, who was born in the big town of Taft, Calif. in 1928, lights a smoke, and starts listening to the radio when she gets the real news! If you don't have a life, you may have seen Jeanne in one of her continuing performances as Katherine Chancellor in the TV soap opera "The Young And The Restless", that she has been doing from 1978 right up to the present day. 30 years and almost 300 shows!! Now this woman is a real actress!!!

"Carl, Did you take the truck and one of the animals and drive Mr. Conrad into Hollywood last night?"

This is a difficult movie to find these days. The only place I had any luck rounding up a copy was ioffer.com. Good Luck!!

IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE - Gertz/Mancini/Hoffman - "The Theme" (1953)

More crazed theremin from the master, Dr. Samuel Hoffman, mixed with the incredible orchestral talents of Irving Gertz and Henry Mancini, and you're going to get an extra spooky winner each and every time!! There is no way to lose with that combination of talent, and the theme from the classic "It Came From Outer Space" is no exception!

This is either what the desert looks like driving home from the local cantina after drinking too much tequila reposado, or from the view of a one-eyed monster from outer space!!!

This is either what those two girls look like you picked up at the cantina after drinking too much tequila anejo, or what two future dead hillbillies look like to a one-eyed space monster!

This would be the one-eyed space monster himself, the third amazing creation of the fabulous Milicent Patrick in the trilogy of horror annals, along with 'The Mutant' from "This Island Earth," and "The Creature From The Black Lagoon!" Three icons all created by one amazing woman, so lift that shotglass high, this one's for Milicent!!!

"It wasn't the right time for us to meet. They'll be back!"
