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  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!"

  1. Look fro Russel Johnson -- the professor in "Gilligan's Island" in an early role!

  2. I'm imagining this movie playing at a drive-in. After the drive-in closes for the night some teenagers have some fun and add the letters 'SH' to the beginning of the title on the theater marquee.
