THE PHANTOM PLANET - Leith Stevens/Ted Roberts - "Main Theme" (1961)

Recycled music from "World Without End" was once again used by Ted Roberts with the cooperation of music supervisor Gordon Zahler, who we know from his work on Ed Wood Jr's "Plan 9 From Outer Space" & "Night Of The Ghouls," and was able to squeeze even more life out of this music, just one year later. Add some more stuff again & this time you've got the theme song to "The Phantom Planet." I'm sure a lot of children were devastated mentally after seeing Lieutenant Webb, played by TV kiddie show 'cartoon host' venquilitrist, Jimmy Weldon vaporized in the first few minutes of this film, and so, what exactly happened to Webster Webfoot at that point in time anyhow?

SPACE MEN (Assignment Outer Space) Leith Stevens/Ted Roberts - "Main Title" (1960)

Oh, yeah, we're just getting warmed up here now!! Maybe music editor Ted Roberts figured that since he was in Italy, nobody would notice if he used this piece of music composed by Leith Stevens from "World Without End" again, especially if they added some narration and other musics at the beginning & end. So here's the opening credits from "Assignment Outer Space" or "Space Men" as it was originally released, sounding a lot like something else too.

 

Space Men

WORLD WITHOUT END - Leith Stevens - "Main Title" (1956)

Besides composing music for the 3 best 60's Sci-Fi TV shows, "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea", "The Time Tunnel", & "Lost In Space," Leith Stevens was also composer for, and I think you better sit down, "Destination Moon", "When Worlds Collide", "War Of The Worlds", and this film, "World Without End." Now, that's some very serious credentials! This movie always freaked us out, and you'll be more than lucky to find a copy to watch, to know why!

ZOMBIES (I Eat Your Skin) - Lon E. Norman - "Main Theme" (1964)

We prefer the title "Zombies" to the re-issue title of "I Eat Your Skin," because it seems much more appropriate and definately cooler sounding! "Zombies!" Lon E. Norman is given credit for the music on this Del Tenney masterpiece, and besides this film, Lon only did music for that other classic beach thriller "Sting Of Death" & "The Jackie Gleason TV Show." That's about it for him. Versatile, short, but sweet! The soundtrack from this movie is just crazy and wild enough that it might have just worn him out, and working with The Del, where perfection was always on demand, could never have been easy! This film has music unlike anything you have never or will ever hear again in the movies. Guaranteed!! "ZOMBIES"

 

MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE - Huddleston/Smith Jr. - "Drunk Kids-Dead Body" (1966)

Try and get away with this today kids, right? But way back in 1966, anything was still possible! What harmony! 

 

Parking & DrinkinWhile we're on the subject of turkeys and kid's parking, here is one of the most different things you will ever get a chance to hear in your life. Some people will go a whole lifetime without ever having a chance to experience anything like this music or this dialogue & voices. You might want to make yourself a drink before you listen to this, otherwise you might not get it either! 

 

She's quite attractive, no doubt, but then you also have this super weird scene where dumbass is trying to get this body manipulated into some kind of upright position. The pounding music will either give you a headache or a good idea of what's going on until you get a chance to get your own copy of what some people say is the worst monster movie ever made! 

 

Body Draggin' Time

THE EYE CREATURES - Baxter/Stein - "The Big Wheel" (1965)

When you start talking turkey, it's inevitable that names like Jerry Warren & Larry Buchanan will crop up every time, but in the parallel universe that is "Dwrayger Dungeon" these same names are the ones that continue to intrigue us for what seems like an eternity. "The Eye Creatures" is a perfect example, if there ever was one! It's a great movie & is highly recommended to any followers of anything! This movie basically has it all! You got Great music, offbeat comedy, John Ashley, and more! The whole movie is like one big cover tune, that not only parodies itself, and the original, but also whatever else may follow in the future! Uncredited music by the best, Les Baxter & Ronald Stein, what else could you possibly even ask for? Bubble-headed reject space monsters, 30 year old teenagers necking, & the most awesome ripoff/homage you're ever likely to come in contact with ever! You can buy or rent "The Eye Creatures" with "Zontar" as a double feature DVD, & we suggest that you do! What a bargain!

Making Out

 

Long before heavy metal we had some serious parking and heavy petting going on out there in the old day for night territory!!!

This waitress is just way too smokin' hot for these two loser guys to handle!

How Bout That?

THE HORROR OF PARTY BEACH - The Del-Aires - "Hank's Big Scene" (1964)

Are you ready for this? In 1964, the winner of The Academy Award for Best Film was "My Fair Lady" & believe it or don't, "The Horror Of Party Beach" wasn't even considered. If they both showed down at the local Bijou Theatre today, I'm willing to bet that "The Horror Of Party Beach" would have a bigger turnout, and I think that really says something about society in general! John Scott as Hank could have easily got the award for Best Actor for this scene alone compared to the tripe that Rex Harrison dishes out. That's Right! Okay, Audrey Hepburn is almost as hot as Alice Lyon's Elaine, but that's still an almost, and compare the music, no you can't, because there's No comparison! The Del-Aires Rock and Roll and the music from "My Fair Lady" will make you gag or worse and will suck for eternity! They should take it to court, and turn the award over to the real winner, Del Tenney!
