THE BEACH GIRLS AND THE MONSTER - Chuck Sagle - "Beach Party" (1965)

"Call It A Bash, Call It A Ball, Call It A Blast," guitar riffin', bongo driven, beach party musical insanity, like an instrumental version of "Mona" somewhere in between Bo Diddley & Quicksilver Messenger Service, back to back with a short instrumental version of the title song "Dance, Baby, Dance," and the beach girls just kept on a dancin', dancin' and dancin'!! "The Beach Girls And The Monster." Go get it!

THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE - Abe Baker - "Sleazy Bar Scenes" (1962)

Once again, in the 60's, if you needed a good body for that girlfriend of yours without one, where do you go but to the local strip club, so here's some sleazy music as Herb wanders from one place to the next looking for just the right one! Abe Baker composed the music for "The Brain That Wouldn't Die," it's plenty low down and dirty and conveys the mood quite well!

THE FLESH EATERS - The Teen Killers - "Pete's Beat" (1964)

The opening sequence of "The Flesh Eaters" has a boy and girl on a boat with the radio playing in the background, the voice on the radio, Jack Curtis says, “Now here's a real gasser, a hot biscuit from the old rhythm and blues oven, your old favorites, the Teen Killers singing Pete’s Beat.” Arnold Drake, the writer of "Flesh Eaters", who went on to write "Doom Patrol" & "Deadman" for DC Comics, wrote the song, whistled and sang it. "Behind this Membrane...You Will Be Driven To a Point...Midway Between Life and Death!" Oh, Yeah!!! Find It & Buy It!

MATANGO (Attack Of The Mushroom People) - Kumi Mizuno - "La La La Song" (1963)

I just read that in Japan, you used to be able to buy psilocybin mushrooms in vending machines; now a lot of this stuff is starting to make sense. "Attack Of The Mushroom People" is a crazy movie, and here's a taste of things before everything turned sour, featuring the world famous Kumi Mizuno just relaxing, having fun, and singing a whole lot of La La's. Cartoon Music!!

Kumi Mizuno - La La La Song

BLOOD THIRST - "In The Club" (1965)

Made in Manila in 1965, "Blood Thirst" wasn't released until 1971. A lot of cheap horror movies were made in The Phillipines during this time, mostly because of the easy access to awesome Filipino foods, like pork adobo, garlic chicken, lumpia and pancit, that were unavailable in the U.S. except in certain parts of the central valley of California. Here's a club scene with music that sounds like it's being made by some local Manila hopefuls. Get yourself a bowl of adobo and rice and enjoy!

Blood Thirst-In The Club

THE HORROR OF PARTY BEACH - The Del-Aires - "Zombie Stomp" (1964)

It's still Summertime, so back to the beach we gotta go for another awesome rocker from "The Horror Of Party Beach." The Del-Aires are still there wailing away, this time on "The Zombie Stomp." This band and this song should have been destined for the top of the heap, because it just doesn't get any better!! Sometimes you just can't get it!

"Zombie Stomp"

MISSION MARS - The Forum Quorum/Berge Kalajian - "Mission Mars Mix" (1968)

It's a 'Monsterpiece!' "Mission Mars" had such incredible music from start to finish, we're providing a 7 1/2 minute mix from start to finish that will astound anybody guaranteed! The young band that was making the music was called "The Forum Quorum." The writing credits go to Berge Kalajian, but I think the "Forum" were just cranking this stuff. Some of the best 1968 has to offer!! It's a "Mission Mars Mix" or maybe a better title would be "Remission Mars." Do yourself a favor, & go out & buy or rent this movie! It will fill that big gap you're feeling in your life!!! And while you're at it, buy a bunch of stuff by "The Forum Quorum!!"

So, let's head back to 1958 Japan for another cool club tune from "The H-Man" sung by Martha Miyake, "The Magic Begins," and it IS about at this point in the movie where the music really starts to take off! Get it!
The Magic Begins

VOODOO WOMAN - John Blackburn/Darrell Calker - "Opening Credits" (1957)

1957 was a cool time in history, when guys with name's like Touch Connors and Lance Fuller could be stars; a vintage year to make a classic movie called "Voodoo Woman!" Here for your pleasure and pain, is the ritual music from the opening credits , some kind of bongo fury!! Get a copy to feel the fever of the fire!!

NIGHT OF THE GHOULS - Edward D. Wood Jr. - "The Seance" (1959)

Okay, get ready for some of the most frightening music ever recorded in Hollywood history. This is the music from the gruesome & horrifying 'seance scene' in Ed Wood's 1959 feature, "Night Of The Ghouls." Do not listen to this alone in the dark, you've been warned! Better yet, to be truly safe, just don't listen to it at all!!
Hey Ed, Scary Swizzle sticks??? Jeepers!!!

The Seance.

NIGHT CALLER FROM OUTER SPACE - Mark Richardson - "Theme Song" (1965)

The mystifying and intoxicating theme song from "Night Caller From Outer Space," written by Albert Hague & sung by Mark Richardson shines here like a hypnotizing spell. Have you ever seen this UK film? It's underated by everybody, but it's never too late for the rest of you free thinkers! Worth it just for the theme song!

THE BEACH GIRLS AND THE MONSTER - Arnold Lessing - "More Than Wanting You" (1965)

Pretty serious performance by Arnold Lessing, might have been a hit if it wasn't in this movie or had been written 5 or 10 years sooner. Arnold wrote & performed "More Than Wanting You" in "The Beach Girls And The Monster" and gave Frank Sinatra Jr. a pretty good run for the money in the schmaltz department!!
Wanting You

....And what the F was up with the hat on this guy listening to the song? Never could figure that part out!!

A BUCKET OF BLOOD - Julian Burton - "Walter Paisley Is Born" (1959)

"Walter Paisley is Born," another fantastic Beat Poem, this time touting the talents of our man Walter, before they figure it out!!!

From "A Bucket Of Blood," Julian Burton astounds, with yet another stellar performance that includes swingin' back-up from Fred Katz!

Walter Paisley Is Born

GHOST OF DRAGSTRIP HOLLOW - The Renegades (1959)

They just kept crankin' them out, & it's amazing how good each & every one of the songs in this movie really are. "Ghost Train" by The Renegades, you tell me what kicked more butt than this song written by Nick Venet in 1959?? Nothing, that's what!!! It's like a weird parallel universe, great music, annoying movie! Rent it!

THE ATOMIC SUBMARINE - Alexander Laszlo - "Opening Credits" (1959)

Wow, Alexander Laszlo did the music for some of the major cool titles of the 50's, working with the world's best director, Bernard Kowalski on "Attack Of The Giant Leeches" and "Night Of The Blood Beast," not to mention 15 episodes of "Rocky Jones, Space Ranger" and more. "The Atomic Submarine" soundtrack was touted as "ELECTRO-SONIC" music, so relax, do something futuristic & enjoy!!
Atomic Submarine - Opening Credits

FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACE MONSTER - Bob Crewe - "Scramble All Jets" (1965)

"Scramble All Jets" is just what it sounds like it should be, another rockin' Bob Crewe number only with the sound of jets taking off. You aliens better watch out this time cause we're bringing out the big guns. More great music from "Frankenstein Meets The Space Monster!
Scramble All Jets

CREATURE FROM THE HAUNTED SEA - Betsy Moreland - "Creature From The Haunted Sea" (1961)

Betsy Moreland

For true die-hard lovers of the genre, we present another awkward Corman comedy, the 1961 movie, "Creature From The Haunted Sea," and it's a scene where their boat is approached & they want to seem casual, so they tell Mary-Belle to sing, & she sings, and she sings, & she sings, but, it's all worth it to hear her sing one of the last lines, "Creature From The Haunted Sea." You'll see! Music by none other than Fred Katz.

BEAST FROM HAUNTED CAVE - Sheila Carol(Sheila Noonan) - "Home On The Range" (1959)

Here's a short piece from "Beast From Haunted Cave," Gypsy doing her version of "Home On The Range" in the bathtub, smoking a cigarette, of course!

ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN - Ron Stein - "50 Foot Rock(and Roll)" (1958)

Here's yet another movie that Ronald Stein did the music for. "Attack Of The 50 Ft. Woman" was made in 1958 and was one of Ron's earlier efforts. This song plays in the background in a couple of scenes. Here's a version with dialogue, & one straight instrumental as it would have been on a soundtrack LP. Another Great movie everyone should see at least once!! Rent It, It comes with official free secondhand smoke!
