FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS - Krzysztof Komeda - "On His Own, On His Own" (1967)

"Fearless Vampire Killers" is a freaky weird vampire film written and directed by Roman Polanski! 

 

This film has weird music by Krzysztof Komeda that is filled with soaring Ahh, Ahh, Ahh vocals from some celestial vampire vocalist!! 

 

And that's about it because once you throw in a name like Roman Polanski, it becomes one of those neverending Hollywood sagas, so you might just as well just go on and do a google search and get it over with, otherwise we're gonna be here all night! 

 

What happened to Sharon Tate is incredibly sad and way beyond fiction! 

 

Give credit to Roman for having a credible vampire! 

 

The dance of death! 

Nothing left but vampires, as we get closer to daily reality by the minute!

THE EARTH DIES SCREAMING - Elisabeth Lutyens - "Scream & Scream Again" (1965)

"The Earth Dies Screaming" is really a great little movie and a lot of fun to watch! The fab-tastic music is by Elisabeth Lutyens, one of the few women working in a largely male dominated field at the time. We've written about Elizabeth before, because she has a number of cool credits like "The Skull", Paranoiac" and "The Terrornauts" to mention a few! Elizabeth also seemed to work very well with musical director Phillip Martell on a number of features!! 

 

Get ready, because they're coming to get you!!! Yeah, You!!! 

 

Now you gotta admit that this looks like a real fun group of people to party with!! 

 

Don't worry, everything will be okay, just don't get to close, Oops!! Zap!!! Oh, sorry lady!! 

 

She just doesn't seem the same, you know, kind of vacant, strange, and not interested in sex anymore! 

 

Oh, Man!! Alien Peeping Tom Perv, what could be worse than that?? 

 

BUSTED!!!

 Despite everything, the guys still have time to hang out at the local T & A Centre!! 

 

Remember, the title does include the word "Screaming!" 

 

Do you got a goosestep to go along with that salute there trooper?? 

 

Stupid alien robots weren't really that tough after all!! 

 

The "Official Campaign Manual" basically breaks down to, Go see this movie!!

EL ASESINO INVISIBLE - Various Artists - "In The Club" (1964)

"El Asesino Invisible" esta uno pelicula loco!!! You've got a hero called El Enmascarado De Oro pitted against an invisible killer, and even though there's a lot of wrasslin' going on with some extreme characters portrayed by real wrestlers with names like 'Karloff' Lagarde, Dorrell Dixon, and my favorite El Bizarro, most of the movie is spent chillin' inside the club with the detective watching Ana Berta Lepe go through about a million costume changes and almost as many varieties of music. Kind of like a sophisticated "Gong Show" and the audience just eats it up and appears to love each and every moment of it!!! 

 

The musical credits are immense as you can see, but a gentleman by the name of Sergio Guerrero gets credit for the original score!! Sergio just passed away this year after an amazing career that had him composing music for over 225 movies!!! Bravo Sergio!!! 

 

Introducing Miss Mexico 1953, Ana Bertha Lepe, a national treasure!! 

 

It was ironic that the handsome and very popular Jorge Rivero portrays Enmascarado De Oro in his very first film outing, and wears a mask through the whole movie! He went on to have an excellent career in Hollywood and Mexico, and was in "Rio Lobo" with John Wayne a few years later. 

 

The best song of the movie is right here, and is called "Negro Blues" I do believe, and you get to see Ana duckwalk too!! 

 

Then it's time for "Un Poco Mas" by Alvaro Carrillo, combined here for your listening pleasure with..... 

 this "Charleston" number written by Enrico Cabiatti that brings down the house! 

 

Right about here I start getting lost, I know it's time for the candle song, but there's just too many things going on, listen to this, and maybe you'll have a little better understanding!!!! "La Pollera Colora" and mucho mas!! 

 

Ana is so dedicated to her job, she has a pole in her house!! 

 

There's only one real way to take in this much information, and that's to get a copy for yourself, so just in case you havn't started thinking about those weirdos on your X-Mas list yet, it might be just about the right time!! "The Grand Finale"
