THE TERROR / Filmgroup - 1963 / Music by Ron Stein and Les Baxter

- THURSDAYS WITH TABONGA -

Ladies and gremlins, Dungeon Main Man... MR. BORIS KARLOFF!

This music by Ron Stein and Les Baxter (uncredited) sound pretty creepy, but flick is boring and contrived! Give listen to... The Terror, The Terror! Story by Leo Gordon and Jack Hill!

Okay, so Jack is fancy French officer and he get lost and fall down in ocean!.. (?) Later he wake up looking at big face of witch Dorothy Neumann who in also THE UNDEAD and THE GHOST OF DRAGSTRIP HOLLOW. Anyway, scare Jack and make him jump! Then she bring out big bird (Helene) and scare his ass 'gain!! After that he look over at Jonathan (Seymour Krelboin) Haze and Jonathan do that to him!!!

For reason nobody know, ghost Helene (big bird) like to flirt with Jack. In real life, Jack married to Sandra Knight when make this flick.

Jack finally find his way to castle of Boris... Boris not really like him. Other Dungeon favorite Dick (Walter Paisley) Miller there as Boris dapper butler! Boris tell him to keep eye on Jack, he too nosy. Helene is ghost wife of Boris and things gettin' all tangled up!

Dick not happy camper here!..
Hmmm, maybe Tabonga look pretty cool with scarf too!

This part too weird for even Tabonga!! Okay, Jonathan get eye claw out by Helene as big bird, then he stumble off side of cliff and plummet onto rocks! Jack run down to check and guess what?!!!... Jonathan still alive and he mumbling to Jack!!!!... WHAT IN HELL GIVES?!!!

Dummy look sooo bad!!

Tabonga guess he kinda see why Jack like Sandra!

This great, she beating up Boris!

But... Then... This!!!

Goodnight everbloody!!

PHARAOH'S CURSE - Les Baxter - "The Curse" (1957)

Well, "The Curse" seems to be working pretty dang good around these parts, right about now.

Just in case there is the slightest possibility you didn't notice, this is a "Bel-Air" production!!!!

The DVD of "Pharaoh's Curse" that Tabonga scored from a street vendor in Cairo, wouldn't play much past the five minute mark, so we can't give you all the musical thrills and pictures you and this picture deserve!

No thanx to modern technology, the Internet connection in my cave is intermittent at best until I can get some help out here, so what that all adds up to, is this quick post of the theme from the classic 1957 film, "Pharaoh's Curse!" It stands alone with an excellent soundtrack by the almighty Les Baxter! I can't imagine, what would these movies have done without him??

The real wild west, except for the fact that it's in the east, where still to this day, in certain areas, you shoot first and ask questions later!

AAAAAAAaaaaaahhhhhh!!!! Saw this for the first time in "Famous Monsters Of Filmland" magazine!!!!

What's sad is, if you search for "Pharaoh's Curse" today on the mighty Internet that can provide essential details to each and every subject available, you get this!!! Now that, my friends, is SCARY!!!

THE HYPNOTIC EYE / Allied Artists 1960 / Music by Marlin Skiles

~ TABONGA TUESDAY ~

Marlin Skiles on our previous post THE BOWERY BOYS MEET THE MONSTERS. Here more flicks and serials he work on... BATMAN AND ROBIN '49, KING OF THE ROCKET MEN '49, ATOM MAN vs SUPERMAN '50, LOST PLANET AIRMEN '51, JALOPY '53, SPOOK CHASERS, THE GIANT CLAW, 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH!.. DANG!! Hypno-Babes & Beatniks!

So, this how flick start, pretty gurl put something in hair and go over to stove and turn burner on high. Then she put face close and catch her hair on fire! Gurl freakin' crazy!!

Or, maybe she... Hypnotized!!

Weirdo newspaper dude throw darts to pick stories from wall of possibilities!

AYE!!!!

Okay, now you have to take a crap! A big one!!! (So sorry everbloody, Tabonga have twisted funnybone!)

Sometime Desmond make audience act like Curly, and they cannot stop til he say so... STUPID!!

Detective Steve agree with Tabonga... STUPID!!

Oh, so here is irrestible 'Hypnotic Eye' that make gurlz act so damn crazy?!.. Give Tabonga a break!!

OOPS!..

Tabonga never pass up chance to show nice '59 Ford!

This dude name is Lawrence Lipton, "King of the Beatniks." Tabonga pretty sure he just make that up (he have only one acing job, this one!). Two guy that totally blow Larry out of water are Julian Burton from Dungeon favorite BUCKET OF BLOOD, which we already post, and Go Man Van Gogh from Bob Clampett's BEANY & CECIL!!!

Allison mean bitch here! She getting water super hot so detective gurlfriend can take shower in it!!

Okay, here why Allison so mean and make Desmond make pretty gurl ugly! She all messed up TOO!! So, she get revenge on unsuspecting victim!! At end, Allison fall off scaffold and land on Desmond!! Oh, flick banned in Finland!

DR. SATAN Y LA MAGIA NEGRA - Luis Hernández Bretón - "Dr Satan Vs Black Magic" (1968)

Dr. Satan confuses me a bit! He is obviously eviler than Hell incarnate, and he's not even The Boss, but he's also the good guy because he's fighting some one eviler than himself, and this outing, it's Black Magic, but Black Magic isn't black, he's Asian, and not a magician, but a vampire! You see what I'm saying? Anyway, it's quite a struggle, and the music follows along somehow because the very experienced composer, Luis Hernández Bretón knew what he was doing, along with the help of Sound Man José Li-ho!!

The coolest laboratory doors ever!! The electronic squiggles you'll hear are the sound of the doors opening & closing!!

I wish I had a cool lab like this!!

I don't even understand why Dr. Satan needs such a cool lab, he could do these kind of stuffs in the dungeon or even in the bed room!

Now he's got the Zombie Girls under his power, so he's almost unstoppable! This is a great shot, by the way!!

I don't know, my Spanish isn't perfect, but this Dr. Satan deal doesn't look like such a bad gig to me! Good night girls!!

One dark night Dr. Satan pays Mr. Black Magic a visit, and shoots a little harpoon thing into his jugular vein, only too find out he's a vampire. Unfazed, Black Magic turns into a bat and has to be pulled off of Dr. Satan by the Zombie Twins!

So, without further adieu, Presenting tonight's extra special feature, in super dynamic living colour, Ladies and Gentlemen, Our Buddy Dr. Satan in: "Dr. Satán Y La Magia Negra"!!!!!!

As bad as he'd like to put on, Black Magic's not really that bad of a cat. Here, he cuts up with his girlfriend and his best friend!!!

Uh, Oh! It's the Boss!!!! You guys better get off the internet!!!

It's just like wrasslin', obviously Black Magic doesn't have the huevos to stand up to Dr. Satan and the Girls, it's a set up, send in the next chump!!! Black Magic is going down!!
