HANDS OF ORLAC - Claude Bolling - Dany Carrel - "In The Club" (1960)

Personally, I like this movie, "Hands Of The Strangler" or "Hands Of Orlac" or whatever you want to call it, just don't call it "Hands Of A Stranger", that's a completely different movie! This is a fun but creepy film, it's kinda sleazy, but with a great cast and a very swinging soundtrack composed by chid prodigy pianist Claude Bolling, one of France's finest Jazz musicians!!! 

So you can see that Mr. Stephen Orlac was no musical slouch either! He had a record deal!! Not bad Steverino, but I think it's time to jazz up your act! 

Orlac goes in this club and Li-Lang is doing her act!! Bam!! Off with the dress!! 

Mel Ferrer is impressed!! How many nights do you think Mel had to stay up to get this look?? What a great actor! 

The snuggly cute Dany Carrel was born Yvonne Suzanne Chazelles du Chaxel in French Indochina, better known today as Vietnam, and is as good a reason as any to check out the French section of your local video rental store!! The guy on the right had the best seat in the house and is using it to full advantage! 

Right about here Orlac forgets completely how to play the piano! 

Christopher Lee as Nero or as it says on the wall Neron is great as always, and it's worth the price of admission just to see his magic act, that is until he goes off and gets all diabolical!!

FRANKENSTEIN 1970 / Allied Artists - 1958 / Music by Paul Dunlap

The One...The Only KING OF MONSTERS as the new demon of the atomic age! (tag line) Music maestro Paul Dunlap returns to the Dungeon tonight with FRANKENSTEIN 1970 His last outing was THE FOUR SKULLS OF JONATHAN DRAKE. 

 

This movie has tons of great little elements!.. If this isn't the best Frankenstein monster pose, I don't know what is!!

 Excellent!.. No?! 

 

Yeah, its just a movie! That's Don 'Red' Barry as the director! 

 

Boris needs the money, so, he has the crew stay in his castle location as paid boarders while they shoot their movie. He hates them! 

 

He plays creepy tunes on his organ! 

 

Now, if you don't see the underlying evil in this face... Yer blind!!

 No modern mad lab is complete without floating eyeballs in a jar!.. 

 

... Or, an atomic microscope!!

 And, the monster is just... TOO COOL!!

VOYAGE TO PLANETA BUR OF THE PREHISTORIC WOMEN PLANET - Stein/Benjamin (1962-1968)

There was a movie made in Russia in 1962 entitled "Planeta Bur" or "The Planet Of Storms." It was bought and chopped up with new insertions using name talents Faith Domergue and Basil Rathbone and re-released in 1965 with Curtis Harrington at the helm as "Voyage To The Prehistoric Planet." Then in 1968 wunderkind Peter Bogdanovich tried his hand at it, but this time they tried the sex angle, and used blonde bombshell Mamie Van Doren as Moana and the Venus Vixens as inserts, and released it as "Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women" but unfortunately, it still sucked! By the way, none of these movies should be confused with "Prehistoric Women" from 1950 or "Slave Girls" aka "Prehistoric Women" from 1967 or "Women Of The Prehistoric Planet" from 1966! 

 

For being a quite stunning gal, Faith Domergue looks pretty trashy with this big space hairdo! Mostly she's just bored! 

 

Actually, I still can't get over the fact they named Mamie Moana!! The guy that thought that one up is still institutionalized somewhere!!! 

 

Robby The Russian Robot!! 

 

Here's four of the reasons Roger wanted to remake this movie!! 

 

Here's some of the scarier footage from the original film! 

 

Here's five more reasons to remake this movie!!! 

 

"Planeta Bur" was probably the best version, they should have just left it alone!!! Roger Corman obviously really thought this film had a lot of potential and was in it up to his elbows, and the poor unknowing American chump moviegoers were duped out of another 25 cents because of it! Some things haven't changed!! 

 

Oh, no, they killed the equivalent of Hugh Hefner, the Venuisan girls God!!! 

 

Man, we're all in trouble now, Moana Mamie had to put on the big chef hat!! That's it!! We're all doomed!! 

 

Ron Stein added some music to the 'Planet' version, Keith Benjamin did his best with the 'Women' version, but really, even the music isn't that great!!  

"Voyage To The Prehistoric Planet Of Prehistoric Women"

FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS - Krzysztof Komeda - "On His Own, On His Own" (1967)

"Fearless Vampire Killers" is a freaky weird vampire film written and directed by Roman Polanski! 

 

This film has weird music by Krzysztof Komeda that is filled with soaring Ahh, Ahh, Ahh vocals from some celestial vampire vocalist!! 

 

And that's about it because once you throw in a name like Roman Polanski, it becomes one of those neverending Hollywood sagas, so you might just as well just go on and do a google search and get it over with, otherwise we're gonna be here all night! 

 

What happened to Sharon Tate is incredibly sad and way beyond fiction! 

 

Give credit to Roman for having a credible vampire! 

 

The dance of death! 

Nothing left but vampires, as we get closer to daily reality by the minute!
