Back in the 60's you needed a second title as a film maker, so the studio could release a double feature, hence we have "Death Curse Of Tartu," a second billing to the hit main feature "The Sting Of Death." Needless to say, there are a lot of overlapping elements in the two movies. Al Jacobs did the music for both movies, & they got Neil Sedaka for the main feature, who knows who's singing this Chad & Jeremy wannabe tune. It ain't bad for a slow tune, the crackling you hear in the background isn't static, but the fire for the marshmellows. Rent or buy the DVD & watch the same guy get tossed in the water in both movies!

THE HORROR OF PARTY BEACH - The Del-Aires - "Drag"(Opening Credits) (1964)
Well, since summer is almost over, we'd better head back to the beach once again, so grab on to something & hold on tight cause here's the rambunctious 'opening credits' from "The Horror Of Party Beach." Back when 'rumble' actually meant something, it's The Del-Aires again with a one way killer instrumental, motorcycles and sports cars included! Short, but to the point!!

MISSION MARS - Sturg Pardalis/The Forum Quorum - "No More Tears" (1968)
Okay all you lucky people, during the 'opening credits' sequence of "Mission Mars," The Forum Quorum" treats us to this Very Special Spacey theme song, "No More Tears" written by Gus Pardalis and sung by none other than Sturg Pardalis, and Sturg is a cool name you must admit, so it should be no surprise that this is an exceptionally cool tune, no argument! Stop yer crying, no more tears, they're goin' off into space and everything's gonna be all right, well, at least until they meet that extra weird monster! You'll see when you watch it, this movie is about balls!

LYCANTHROPUS (Werewolf In A Girl's Dormitory) - Adam Keefe - "The Ghoul In School" (1962)
It's the opening credits for "Werewolf in A Girl's Dormitory" & it's one of the coolest short songs you'll ever hear. Now we need to find somebody with original tapes so we can get the whole song, or is this the whole song? This is a movie, so this is probably all a trick! "The Ghoul In School" written by Marilyn Stewart & Frank Owens, and sung by Adam Keefe is available to all via public domain, and is available for free download at the Internet Archive. The movie is nothing like the song, but Very Interesting and you can't beat the price!

TAEKOESU YONGARY (Yongary, Monster From The Deep) - Jeong-geun Jeon - "Yongary Club/Dance Mix" (1967)
Here's a couple of great bits from this 1967 giant monster classic, at first there's some guys gorging themselves with some smaltzy music and some great dialogue going on, then there's some rockin' music in this club about to get destroyed and all the people look like they are on some kind of Soma! That is followed by the scene where Yongary is woke up by the kid & starts dancin' to the rockin' beat! Unique to the genre I do believe! This, almost more than anything else, trust us, You really need to see! The composer of the music for this film, Jeong-geun Jeon has 283 credits to his history if you check it on IMDB, now that is quite an accomplishment!! Pretty sure Yongary is doing The "Shing-A-Ling!"

LAS LUCHADORAS CONTRA EL MEDICO ASESINO (Doctor Of Doom) - Antonio Díaz Conde - "The Abduction" 1963
These wrestler gals are tough, so when they're walking down a dark alley late at night, you still better sneak up on them, and it always helps to some some really sleazy jazz to accompany the vile act of abduction. From "Doctor Of Doom," sneaky, swinging, but not too smart!
