SANTO VS LAS MUJERES VAMPIRO (Samson Vs. The Vampire Women) - Raul Lavista - "A Tribute To Lorena Velázquez" (1962)

As far as Mexican wrassler superhero movies go, the Americanized Gordon K. Murray versions are even tackier than the originals because of the overacted overdubs, but if that translates into the fact that Santo was introduced to American kids on TV, even if he had to have a major name makeover as Samson, then I guess it was worth it!

Here's all the info you need to know about The Musical Credits!!!

Lorena Velázquez and a classic Buick, you'll be hard pressed to come up with a better combination than that!!

For the coolest of the cool dudes, it was all about suave and debonair!!

Changing Santo's name to Samson was pure 1960's ignorance!

Spectacular vision of the future of big screen TV!!

Wrasslin' and Vampires is good stuff in any language, and any film with Lorena Velázquez will be considered excellent, above reproach, and without argument as to quality or taste around here!!

What kind of fool wouldn't want to join this party?? Everyone knows that soul's have been an overrated commodity for some time now!

Lovely Lorena as Thorina!!

Watch Out!!! They are beutiful, but they bite!!!!

KILLERS FROM SPACE / W. Lee Wilder Productions - 1954 / Music by Manuel Compinsky

Wow, Manuel Compinsky only compose for 3 flicks, KILLERS FROM SPACE, THE SNOW CREATURE and THE BIG BLUFF, 1954-5! Too bad, he make good stuff here! Theme and Other Cool Junk!

Peter Graves look safe in jet, then he crash and die! Colonel Banks tell Peter wife that Peter go poof and cannot find him!.. Whoa!! Wife cry for Frank while Colonel have a smoke. Very cool in '50s!!.. And look, Ike in picture hanging there, makes official, 1954! Later, Peter wander back to the base and surprise everbloody!

Do you think I look like I know what I'm doing?!.. Cause, I DON'T!..

Let Tabonga tell you a little story about Non-Flexible Collodian!! Well, you could buy at pharmacy and do crazy things on face, then scare living crap out of younger sisters!!! Ask Eegah!! he know.

Big eyeballs come into Peter bedroom at night and kinda bug him!

So, they give him truth serum to figure out what the hell going on around here!! Oh, see 'microphone' FBI dude holding?.. WRONG!

Peter start tell freakin' crazy story about bug-eyed space dudes with designer belts, big bugs and spiders in caves and space TV featuring bug-eyed Supreme Leader!.. So, no one beieve him!!

Finally, Peter figure out how space dudes stealing energy and he blow them sky high! Oh, same curtain in power plant and bedroom!!

Tabonga love make-up guy Harry Thomas, who come up with ping pong eyeballs for KILLERS FROM SPACE and he use again in FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER!

THE HORROR OF PARTY BEACH - Zebedy Colt (Edward Earle Marsh) - "Two Murders" (1964)

We've waxed on and on about The Del-Aires, and the rockin' music beyond compare in "The Horror Of Party Beach," but there was other music in the movie too, and that music was composed by a man who was a complete story unto himself way and beyond this movie. His name was Edward Earle Marsh, a child actor, musician, Broadway actor, and early innovator of 'queer cabaret' with his 1960's LP recorded with The London Philharmonic Orchestra, "I'll Sing For You!" In his later years, he turned to the adult film industry as a way of getting some money, and was actually in a 3-D porn movie!! Ed closed out his chapter in film history and passed away in Las Vegas, of all places, in 2004!

"Listen, we better skip this town, this is the place where they're having all the trouble!"

One of these vixen goddesses is Carol Grubman, and one is Emily Laurel, and I think the third one is Dina Harris, who all went on to having amazing film careers, like Nowhere!

It's no wonder the extraordinarily attractive East Coast chicks, soon to be murder victims, found the gas station attendant to be so cute, it's Del Tenney himself! Check out the price of that gas!! 10 cents for tax!!! Outrageous!!!

"He's cute, isn't he?"

This shot alone is amazing as incredible Chiaroscuro art!!! Be scared, girls!!

It's a crack up that the one girl escapes into the trunk of the car with the keys still in the lock, stupid monsters!!

Scene two of murder and mayhem includes these two drunk cats, who think they are capabbbbble of trying to get out of the parking lot! The music in the background was very muted so we brought the volume up so you could hear some of the best music ever recorded for a movie! Probably only Del knows who contributed this piece, it rocks like The Del-Aires, but it might be a Edward Earle Marsh composition also! Either way, it's definitely Boss!!!!!

"I guess we weren't capabbbble!"

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH / 20th Century Fox - 1959 / Music by Bernard Herrmann

When posting up music and stills from classic monster movies, you have to include JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH!.. So, without further adieu... Theme, Pat + The Boys!

SOUNDCLIP NOT AVAILABLE

Composer Bernard Herrmann did tons of great stuff... THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, VERTIGO, THE 7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD, PSYCHO, CAPE FEAR, THE BIRDS, VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, TWISTED NERVE, IT'S ALIVE and much, much more!!!

We like Pat Boone here at The Dungeon, what a great guy besides a fantastic talent! He's just different!

Believe it or not, you have to go way up there to get to the center of the Earth!!.. WEIRD!!

And, what kind of a journey would it be without a hot lady like Arlene Dahl to make it more interesting! And, of course, that's James Mason with her there!

The action never ends! For a while, Pat gets separated from the others.

Then, the bad guy, Count Saknussem, shows up. He's been following at a safe distance, letting the others find the way for him. He has plans to capitalize on the success of the adventure and take the credit. Of course, the others must die!.. Whatta nice guy!

The good news is, later, he starts a rock slide and a big pile of boulders dump right down on his worthless skull!!

You find food, then, you become food!

They find an ocean to cross, but, get caught up in a whirlpool and barely make it out!.. A damn exciting scene!!

Oh, did I mention Gertrude the duck?.. She has made it all the way through every adventure so far with the help of her pal, Hans. Then, she wanders off for a minute, only to be viciously killed by the hungry Count!..

Arlene, making things 'more interesting'...

Eventually, they stumble upon this ancient city full of lost treasure.

But, you can't take treasure with you if you have to ride in a big rock dish being propelled by lava up through a vent in an active volcano!.. Seriously!!

I saw this movie as a kid when it came out, and, I didn't believe that anyone could ever survive an ordeal like that! Good old... Suspension of disbelief!!
