VIVA LA HUELGA 2010!!!

Well, this whole Blogger Pagination Stagnation is becoming quite the distraction, so we've decided to go on hiatus for a week to let them sort things out. Honestly, we need a break anyway, so it must be fate. I won't bore you with the details of what's going on with Blogger since you only came here to read about movies, but let's just say they've made some decisions that have left a lot of people unhappy! So, we'll be back on Friday, March 5th with a title, thanx to Professor Grewbeard, that we know you're dying to know about, "The Oily Maniac!" See you in a week!!

THE FACE AT THE WINDOW / George King Productions - 1939

Welcome, everbloody, to another Wednesday Oldtime Bijou Theater here at the Dungeon! Today we gots a decent oldie released just prior to WWII...

THE FACE AT THE WINDOW is considered the sinister, yet hammy, stage actor Tod Slaughter's highest budget, and maybe best flick, even though it was made during the British "quota quickies" era where local products were the focus, in order to stimulate the economy.

Director George King directed 54 movies between 1930-48 with Brit titles like DEADLOCK, BEWARE OF WOMEN, OH NO DOCTOR!, THE MAN WITHOUT A FACE, GAY OLD DOG, THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET, SEXTON BLAKE AND THE HOODED TERROR, CRIMES AT THE DARK HOUSE, GAIETY GEORGE and THE SHOP AT SLY CORNER!

There's a killer called the Wolf on the loose, and, who is also responsible for a string of daring robberies is basically what rolling text have to say...

Music is by Brit Jack Beaver, who ended up with 60 composing credits and good old Eegah!! gives us another 'earrific' soundclip for everbloody' listening pleasure!

Okay, enuf chit-chat, time to get show rolling down hill, so, here is Tabonga' lil' pet gnat, Piff, who have the honors of pushing old red 'GO' button in order to listen to today' earsome audio treat... THE FACE AT THE WINDOW!

Tod play Chevalier Lucio del Gardo, well-to-do lecherous weasel slime, Tod's bread and butter!

Professor LeBlanc showing young Lucien Cortier, John Warwick, his invention to bring back the dead through modern science and electricity!

Oh, boy!.. The Blind Rat Inn!! ...hic!

Fancy dancing in France, 1880 style!

Tod meet his cohorts in crime there, he trying to steal Lucien' gurl Cecile by planting incriminating evidence of bank robbery at Lucien' place, then going to tell gullible pal Police Inspector Gouffert to bust him... Sweet set up!

Mr. Face At The Window show up to scare hell out of Cecile' pops!

Marjorie Taylor, who play Cecile, was a real beauty, like Kitty Carlisle in A NIGHT AT THE OPERA!

Tabonga just showing this to see if anybloody can figure out what is totally 'wrong' in this pic?!

Tod kidnap Cecile, so, Lucien wear his own disguise to The Blind Rat, where he know she is. They pull off his beard, so, he start the place on fire, grab Cecile and run like hell!

Tod pay the Professor a deadly visit, and he enjoy every second of it!

Harry Terry play 'The Face At The Window!'

Lucien use the Professor' own science to find out who real killer is... Lucio.. del Gardo!!!!

Tricky Tod pull gun, jump out of window into river, then make it back to cause even more trouble, jeez!

Even though Tod get last word, The Wolf going down!!!

SINS OF THE FLESHAPOIDS - Bob Cowan - "Nuclear Nuckleheads" (1965)

Okay, you asked for it, so, in an effort to be fair and balanced, I won't tell you that "Sins Of The FLeshapoids" is really, in my final opinion, probably the worst sci-fi film ever made, but what I will tell you, is that "Sins OF The Fleshapoids" makes "Invasion Of The Star Creatures" look like "Forbidden Planet" on steroids x 13!!

Yeah, Yeah, I know, I'm sure this is somebody's favorite movie, but I'm not sure it's available in the hospital gift shop!

Somewhere there is a 16mm film screaming out in pain because of the loss of it's once worthy life, just like a live lobster about to be boiled!! Nice flower arrangement!!

The two 'robots' posed by the wall are The Fleshapoids! Now you know everything you need to know, cause that's the whole story!! Bob Cowan as Xar, is also credited as the music assembler, the weird tempo changes are his, not mine!!

Puffy The Fleshapoid has a moment! I ask you, should this even really be considered a movie??

Finally there is some action!! "This is not my beautiful house, this is not my beautiful wife!!!"

The end is the best part if there ever was a best part, a baby robot is born, oh, how freakin' cute, and the extra best part, the agonizing torture, the excruciating pain that is this movie, is over!!! Where was Andy when we need him??

DAY THE WORLD ENDED / ARC - 1955

So, welcome everbloody, to Saturday Flicktime here at the Dungeon wif' Tabonga and crew... This is a reprise of an older post from a few years back!

"ATTACKED... by a creature from hell!" screams the tagline for this truly classic Corman production released December, 1955!!

Just check out this actor lineup... Paul (BEAST WITH A MILLION EYES/NOT OF THIS EARTH) Birch, Richard (CREATURE WITH THE ATOM BRAIN/BLACK SCORPION) Denning, Lori (REVENGE OF THE CREATURE/HOT ROD GIRL) Nelson, Mike (SWAMP WOMEN/VOODOO WOMAN) Connors, Paul (THE SHE-CREATURE/ATOMIC SUBMARINE) Dubov, Jonathan (MONSTER FROM THE OCEAN FLOOR/IT CONQUERED THE WORLD) Haze, Raymond (DIG THAT URANIUM/INVASION OF THE SAUCER MEN) Hatton and Paul (THE UNDEAD/GHOST OF DRAGSTRIP HOLLOW) Blaisdell as another one of his cool, classic monster creations!

...WHEW!!!

Music is by genius and Dungeon favorite, Ronald Stein, who we have featured here many, many times before... He like, king of the monster movie music around here!

So, here is today's 'earrific' earpiece coming to nearest earbank in you brain!! Give Eegah!! credit for keeping 'em coming! Tabonga pet tarantula, Ralphie, now raising up claw to be pushing big old red 'GO' button and starting ball rolling toward the... DAY THE WORLD ENDED!!

Sorry, stills not that great, from old EP VHS tape.

Day after day the world ended, tough guy Tony and gurlfriend Ruby show up at Maddison ranch, unannounced even!

Tony learn the hard way to watch it, if acting like a jerk!

They lucky because they live in high valley, above radiation...

Look like Paul gots a touch o' the grip!

The gratuitous gurlies pic!

Here are three drawings by Paul Blaisdell of the mutations produced after some of our atomic tests that Louise's dad is showing Hank. Paul was a sci-fi pulp illustrator in the late forties, early fifties, he had a unique style!

Just a little unsettling!

Goodnight, sweet Seymour!

Adele Jergens, as Ruby, does her night club act for everbloody to gander at.

Louise get hypnotized by mutant so they can get good shot for poster art!

Mutant not like the water!

Hank shoot the mutant with pop gun, but, good old mister rain is who kill it!

This is best part of flick! Tony already kill gurlfriend, now he ready to kill Hank and make Louise all his own...

But, he miscalculate and Louise' dad pull out hidden gun and shoot Tony, first in back, then in chest when he turn around to see wha' hoppin! Tony was a total worm, an' totally get what he diserve! Very satisfying!!

This is only the beginning... Only the beginning, you hear me?!
