Here's guessing that 6 year lag between production & release of "Blood Thirst" is the reason we can't find any information about the composer or the musicians for this film. Irregardless, it's a swingin' mass of curiosity to be enjoyed by all, & here's a noteworthy scene with some great music & very interesting dialogue that we like to call..."Swingin' Immunity"
Like a lot of movies from the 60's, this motion picture had so many different names. We talked about it here before & have always referred to this film as "Horrors Of Spider Island," but it was also released in the USA as "Girls of Spider Island," "It's Hot in Paradise" & "The Spider's Web." All great titles and all very appropriate! So, after the opening credits there is a very short intro scene that has another great little swingin' number by Bette & Mattes that cannot be ignored. We like to refer to it as....."Singapore Swing" 
The only possible justification for making this film as far as we can figger is, Arch Hall Sr. must have seen "It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World" the year before & thought he could capitalize on something oddball like it. It's a real shame & a pity too, because Arch & the Archers with the help of Pat & Lolly Vegas are looking and sounding better than ever. The band is tight & all the songs rock. The music is literally the only thing decent in the whole film. The rest of it will just want to make you tear your hair out. They just couldn't seem to distinguish between funny or dumb and stupid, & it's just not funny. "Invasion Of The Star Creatures" is 100 times funnier than this film, & I'm telling you, that's bad!! Seriously though, I don't care what anybody else says, for 1964, this band is Rockin' and it's a real shame they were reduced to mere background music, even if it is the best background music you're ever going to hear!

Working the same common ground as Masaru Satô in the Japanese giant monster music realm, Akira Ifukube had a number of equally impressive outings. "Frankenstein Conquers The World" had three completely separate party scenes, so there was a whole lot of music going on. Here's the music from the opening credits, just to whet your appetite!
Frankenstein Conquers the World!
Just reading the list of films that Armando Trovajoli composed the music for made my head start spinning. Some people are so productive, this cat was composing music for 5 to 10 films a year since 1953! There was a whole bunch of Hercules films, & an assortment of other titles & genres. Besides "Atom Age Vampire," there was "My Uncle The Vampire," "Little Girls And High Finance," "Werewolf In A Girl's Dormitory," "Planets Around Us," one of the first films ever to feature cyborgs, and a few 100 other titles! Hoist your glasses high, for a toast to Armando! Grazie!
Atom Age Vampire
Here's the opening credits from "Atom Age Vampire" coupled up with another short little musical scene. The credits start out fully orchestrated & sappy with church bells chiming, then the sleazy sax kicks in & takes it to another level.
"Daikyojû Gappa" has one of the sappiest scenes ever put on film, this reunion between the Monsters is just so touching, with it's horrible humming and screeching, roaring gawdawful strings. We hope you enjoy it as much as Tabonga does!!
