FURANKENSHUTAIN TAI CHITEI KAIJU BARAGON (Frankenstein Conquers The World) - Akira Ifukube - "Three Parties" (1965)

In "Frankenstein Conquers The World" the first little music scene involves Frankie watching an "American Bandstand" type show on TV and he's digging watching the kids dance, til some guy gets his face all up in the camera & screams!

F R E A K O U T !!!!!

The second happening party scene is taking place on this Party Boat,when Frank shows up from under the water, and he's a lot bigger now!

The third dance party scene is at some mountain chalet, the music is rockin' & the place gets trounced!!

Nick Says "P E A C E ! !"

IL MOSTRO DI VENEZIA (The Embalmer) - Marcello Gigante - "Main Theme" (1965)

"The Embalmer" is not an easy guy to like & his theme music will beat you into the ground like you were just in the worst traffic jam you've ever been in, or had a bad nightmare about in your life! It will wear you out, and we're pretty sure the Italian composer, Marcello Gigante, might have been under the influence of formaldehyde during the composition of this music. You be the judge!

IL BOIA SCARLATTO (The Bloody Pit Of Horror) - Gino Peguri - "A Bloody Mess Mash" (1965)

Well, here's another one only the truly depraved might be able to appreciate, but that's okay, however many of you are out there (Tom), this one's for you!!! We could give you ever minute of music & show you every still from "The Bloody Pit Of Horror," but you're still going to miss out unless you go and find a copy of this film for your very own. They'll probably be illegal someday anyway! Remember, "It's no fun being dead!" and that's right! Oh, Yeah, Great music beyond compare!
  Bloody Opus!
  "Ooooh!!!, The Crimson Executioner, I'm scared!" 
 
I am the Crimson Executioner, If I swing my upper torso around just enough, these chains will look really tough like real metal! Come and get your love, Ooh, Ooh! 
 
Pretty cool looking giant spider!!

You gotta give Mickey Hargitay giant kudos for doing a helluva good job of looking like the perfect Pomegranate Phantom! And just for kicks, here's a couple more neat scenes with some Bloody Cool Music!!!

MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE - Huddleston/Smith Jr. - "Opening Theme" (1966)

OK dogs, here you go, this is THE one! THE most subversive song you've ever heard since "The Words Get Stuck In My Throat," by Kipp Hamilton; the beyond description theme song from "Manos." Who is this muse, this goddess pushing vocal chords to an extreme never reached before or since? Come on over, let's give these cats some credit! 100% WTF!! As a matter of fact, this whole movie is 100% WTF. Musically possibly more disturbing than "Bucket Of Blood" if you can believe that. "I am Michael," you must get a copy of this movie!! Let's give Harold P. Warren some love here! He wrote, he produced, he directed & acted in "Manos." Try and make your own movie folks, you'll have a lot more respect for people like Harold & Jerry Warren! A truly amazing accomplishment even if it sucks!!! No matter what, the music is Great!!! 
 

TORMENTED - Albert GLasser - "Opening Theme" (1960)

Feeling Well? Maybe a little seasick? Maybe a little dizzy? Maybe it's acrophobia! Bert I. Gordon could have that affect on a person with his penchant for really big things normally, but somewhere in between "Earth Vs TheSpider" & "Village Of The Giants" he snuck in this sleeper, in which 'The Lighthouse' is the giant, yeah, and Vi's ghost is big at the end too, if you want to count that. Music by Albert Glasser who did the music for a lot of Bert's other movies, works his magic throughout, too bad it sounds like it's coming from a tin can.
 
No matter what, Vi still looks good!!!!

HAND OF DEATH - WASP WOMAN - Big Dogs-Small Roles

  Not really so much about music, but just the fun of interesting people in small roles; here we have Joe Besser, AKA Curly Joe of "The 3 Stooges," a big guy in a very small role, in a fairly small film, & it's a very surreal scene. When funny guys that you are very familiar with are suddenly very serious, and maybe even get killed, it's always extra weird, and what exactly does he mean when he says "Is there anything else I can do for you?" Like what Joe??!! John Agar really does look mad!!! 
 
And then you have Frank Wolff, who, although not as bright a star as Joe Besser, still did have the lead role in "Beast From Haunted Cave" & went on to have a major career in Italy! In this small bit of comedic relief in "Wasp Woman," Frank is quite lecherous & almost stoogelike funny himself. Great stuff, and as a bonus, you get Barboura Morris in the background, even if she is just sitting there! Frank Wolff
 

CARNIVAL OF SOULS - CAPE CANAVERAL MONSTERS - DOCTOR OF DOOM

It's time for a "Saturday Night Triple Feature." Some torn bits and pieces, and some partially warm leftovers. To start off with, here's a little appetizer from the bar in the 1962 sleepfest "Carnival Of Souls."
 This is another song that was playing on the radio and gets cut off very abruptly in the 1960 film "Cape Canaveral Monsters."
 And here's the music from a little scene in the 1963 Mexican film, "Las Luchadoras Contra El Médico Asesino," where the bad guys try and break into the girl's apartment, but get their butts kicked instead! "Doctor Of Doom"
