DR. DEVIL AND MR. HARE - Mel Blanc - Bill Lava (1964)

This is as close as I could find to an Easter movie! At least there's a bunny in it!
Welcome to another Saturday Night Special in The Dungeon!

Tonight's short feature is from 1964, and titled
The featured characters are Bugs Bunny, and Taz, The Tasmanian Devil! 
All the voices are by the brilliant Mel Blanc, who probably has the most credits of anyone anywhere with 1,142, and any music you hear is by the molten Bill Lava! 
Bill only had 521 composing credits to his name when he passed away back in 1971!

Despite having only seven cartoon appearances between 1954 and 1964, Taz has built up a rabid following over the years that has extended his career well into the 2000's!

Bugs is just trying to enjoy a nice relaxing bubble bath.....

.........When Taz blows into the scene!!

Some condiments might make this Easter dish even a little tastier!

After Bugs flips out screaming for a doctor acting like that ketchup was blood, Taz goes running off to the Doctor. Bugs shows up as the Doctor and tells Taz that he's just in time for his annual checkup!
Dr. Devil (Bugs Bunny) tells Taz that he is in bad shape and to look into the mirror to see for himself!
What a Picasso!!

The fluoroscope shows that Taz's hormones are fighting with his capillaries!

The A's are getting into his bloodstream as fast as the B's! 

Dr. Devil gives Taz some nitro glycerin and shakes him up good!

I love this shot of  the whirling dervish Taz digging out!

Bugs stuffs Taz into a mailbox and he gets sent around the world!

Here's another great shot of Taz in high gear!

Bugs does his best impersonation of Groucho Marx!

In the maternity ward of the hospital Dr. Devil creates a Frankenstein monster with Taz's help, and the monster proceeds to beat the crap out of both of them!

 
 The first appearance of the Tasmanian Devil was in a June 19, 1954 cartoon titled "Devil May Care!" In the 90's and beyond there was a big 9 year feud between the government of Tasmania and Warner Brothers as to who owned his rights! It's probably still not finally settled! 
Who'd a thunk?

THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME / CFI Investments, SOTTC Film Productions Ltd. - 1979

Here's a fairly forgotten flick, stars Jack Palance, Carol Lynley, Barry Morse and John Ireland. Good cast, but, suffers from being produced in that copycat crap time.

I was lucky, I don't have to try and explain the storyline to you. Thank you, lord!

I have a sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our atomic trash compactor, NOW, Rufus The Gnat!.. Here's... THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME!

Here's the gang working away on the Moon base, very artistic junk...

Jack play bad guy, Omus, he has an army of death robots to back him up against the Moonies.

Here's a different group of good guys, on Earth I guess. Their job is to...

Fight off the mean old robots in a dark cavern somewhere.

Some of the Moonies go to Earth to see what they can see... And, maybe help somehow.

Well, there are some weird looking fungus things and really ugly little kids on Earth now!

Dude shifts into 4th gear to get the F outta der!..

Take that, you dirty old damn robot piece o' shit!

Omus shows up as a giant rotating head, giving orders, much like John Carradine as Dr. Frankenstein did in the Jerry Warren monstrosity, FRANKENSTEIN ISLAND.

Omus puts on his protective plastic helmet, then cranks up the sonic sound device. But, why?

Well, so that he can turn Barry's brain into mush, what else? Bibbida, Bibbida...

The death robots turn on Omus and give him a double dose of the old nut cracker!!

Omus and his empire are about to eat a ton of dust... Hooray for the good guys!

The Earth explodes and the Moonies head off into the void of space, see you later... Probably not!.. Eegah!! has something fun for tomorrow, be there or be attacked by a death robot!

ANYAB - "Fangs" (1981)

Have you ever thought about what the WWW stands for in every URL? Supposedly, it stands for World Wide Web, but from what the internet has turned into today, I think it really stands for Weird, Whacked Out, and Wild!
The reason I say that is because these days, films like this can be found for free on places like the Internet Archive, and if that isn't whacked out, I don't know what is! I didn't even know the damn thing existed until a couple of days ago!

So welcome to another Weird-Ass, Whacked Out and Wild Wednesday, and a 1981 film made in Egypt called "Anyab," or "Fangs!"

I don't even know where to start, but to do this correctly I should have gone back and watched "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" again, so I could compare scenes mano a mano, but I just don't have that much time, so you get what you get, and that, my friends, is "Fangs, Fangs, Everywhere!"

And I'm one of the chosen!
 Hassan (The Small Female Devil, House Of Forbidden Pleasures) Al Imam is the narrator!

The Brad and Janet characters are played by Ali El Haggar, and Mounna Gbbr and are now named Ali and Mona! This is a musical so it makes since they had an Egyptian singer for the lead role! Otherwise, these are the only film roles ever by these two. Here's some music from one of the happier moments in the film!

There's a masquerade party going on with lots of musical song and dance numbers!

"Fangs, fangs, everywhere!"

Ahmed (A Trip Of Terror) Adawiyya is the Dracula character! He's a lot creepier that Tim Curry, in fact this whole movie is creepier than "Rocky Horror," and believe it or not, less campy!

Vampire basics 101!

Freakin' "Fangs" is way too long, but the feast scene was kind of interesting!

Right about here, I nearly lost it! You see that "Pink Panther" on the wall, well listen to this!
If you're too lazy to listen then I will explain that in a matter of minutes, the music goes from "The Munsters," to "The Pink Panther," to "James Bond!" The people that made this film had no shame!

Now this is a really scary vampire bat!

Am I here all alone, or am I a topper on my own wedding cake? I just don't know anymore!

Truer words have never been spoken! It's time for Ali to look inward, and do some real soul searching!

Here's the link on The Internet Archive! Knock yourself out! There's nothing to stop you but your own fear!

AAARRGGHHH!!!! Ya'll Come On Back Now, Y'Hear??
