Here is flick that remind you of TV show! Maxim Productions make one production... Tabonga give you 3 guess at what title is...

Dungeon love Richard Boone, aka, Paladin, since Dungeon dudes basically grow up with him on TV!.. HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL was definite fave, he look so cool, dress all in black, and, he look damn good wif' mustache!!

Hey, decent British poster, too!

Mr. Gerald Fried is total veteran here at Dungeon! A few other flick he work on for lil' reminder is...

Music is best part of tonight flick, it definitely more interesting than usual and even feature harpsichord!

SOUNDCLIP NOT AVAILABLE

Richard run a hi-tech cemetary and... Whoa! Mostly folksinger guy Theodore Bikel look suspicious!.. Tabonga bet he the bad guy!!

What, that one?!

Hey, double doobie! Herbert Anderson and '57 Ford cop car!

Uh oh!.. Something seem to be very wrong here at modern art museum!

Richard think he kill someone by mistake, so he run around in graveyard like crazy monkey and have many weird delusion!

He only have one choice to make up for stupid blunder...

Now, there a happy pair for ya! Anyways, Richard find out that Theodore playing big funny game on him!!

Then, since he deranged, Theodore start hearing imaginary voice of people he murder in head, probably like Dick when he try to sleep at night...

Theodore start having Hillbilly Heroin flashback big time!!

BANG!! BANG!! BANG!! BANG!! BANG!!

Cop pop in blasting at last second to save Richard from whack out sick puppy Theodore!!

Cool end is when bad guy pull modern art cork board down with sorry ass, for final well composed 'Game over, man!' shot!!

INVASION OF THE STAR CREATURES - Jack Cookerly - "We Saved The World" (1963)

One of the most fascinating movies of the year 1963 was "Invasion Of The Star Creatures", which was probably one of the worst films ever made, but believe it or don't, was actually one of Tabonga and yours truly's favorite movies, as long as it played in a double feature with the equally hilarious but of equally dubious quality, "Creature From The Haunted Sea!"

Jack Cookerly gets the credit for the "electronic sound effects and music," and actually went on to do music for a number of well known TV shows like "Hazel" and "Mr. Ed!" He was also responsible for the "electronic music" in the 1957 classic we all love, "The Black Scorpion"!

What would have driven any normal adult insane was feast and fodder for a couple of out of control teens! To us, the antics of Robert Ball and Frankie Ray were no different than the shenanigans of the Stooges, the Bowery Boys, Abbott and Costello or Soupy Sales, just not quite as good, but in retrospect, Man, it's hard to sit through now!! Kind of like the way today's kids are going to feel about rap music 40 or 50 years from now!! You just don't get it when you get old, either that, it loses it's coolness, or you just don't care any more!!!

Roger Corman must have had an incredible effect upon some of his base camp, to the point that they forgot they were just actors, and decided to take on other chores of film making, so you get veteran actor Bruno VeSota, doing a horrible job of directing a terrible Jonathan Haze written script! As actors, those two guys are our absolute heroes, but as director and writer, and it pains me to say this, they sucked really bad!!! So, the worse it gets, the more it had to be, well, "What would Roger do?" And in the end, you get something like "Star Creatures!!!" What could Bruno possibly been thinking??

Very effective use of what appears to be Jello molds in this scene!!

The dolls are Gloria Victor as Professor Tanga and Dolores Reed as Dr. Puna! Now I'm starting to remember why we liked this movie so much, and I'm sure they spent at least 100 dollars on this set!!

Wow! Ultra scary monster!!!

Ultra scary monster becomes third stooge and does funny dance with tree!!

Pretty damn exciting right about here!!!

Absolutely amazing super happy ending with astonishly beautiful space girls falling head over heels in love with idiot bastard sons of Earth!! What more could you possibly want from life???

Paul Langton and alcoholic buddy get crew together for scientific expedition.

Sorry to say, Snowy not a real bright star in the heavens! He get so mad when he see dude in cave, he pull down part of cave wall and knock self out cold!! Make real easy for guy to tie up and take back to LA on sleek Constellation!

Big 'frigerator seem like very smart way to drag Snowy around until he learn how to rock it back and forth!

OH, JUST EFFIN' GREAT!

This is great action, Snowy punch guard right in face! Notice how costume all bunched up there where tucked in?!

Lock Martin supposedly was Creature, he look half undressed most of time during big fight scene. Probably pretty hot in full fur costume!! Phew...

Say goo'night, old Snowy!!

Paul Langton and William Phipps have big laugh after it all over. Yeah, so very funny...

TWO LOST WORLDS - Alex Alexander - "Not Just One, But Two" (1951)

Rodan gave you "Lost World" last night, well, that wasn't nothing!! Tonight we double the stakes and the action with not just one, but SOUNDCLIP NO LONGER AVAILABLE First off, this movie was done 9 years before "Lost World," now how is that possible? Two came before one, only in the movies!!

"Two Lost Worlds" stars James Arness, and around these parts, it just don't get no better than that! A lot of people hear the name James Arness, and they immediately think "Gunsmoke" but if you think about the man's contributions to classic Sci-Fi, seems it's some kind of 'T' thing, "Two Lost Worlds", "The Thing", "Them", need I go on?

So James ends up in Australia and falls for Elaine Jeffries played by Kasey Rogers. Kasey had a long and varied career, as a stewardess in "When World's Collide," in a multitude of TV westerns before settling in on as Julie Anderson from 1964 to 1966 in 80 episodes of "Peyton Place!" That'd burn you out! She did a few more small things after than, and just passed away a couple of years ago!!

So James as Kirk Hamilton tells the locals how they do stuff back in America!!

This is why, whatever you do, you don't let pirates come on land! Where do you think the word cutthroat came from anyhow?? Pirates are some mean S.O.B.'s!!!

So the pirates got the girls, now it's up to James and Martin Shannon, the guy in the middle, who is just a little pissed off at James, because He was the only real man Kasey had ever known and was scheduled to get married to! Martin was played the great actor Bill Kennedy who had the esteemed job of being The Announcer for 104 "Adventures Of Superman" episodes from 1951-1958! Wow!! James also does a lot of awesome standing around looking studly in this movie!!

Besides being mean S.O.B.'s, these pirates swim like freakin' frogs, this is a truly amazing sight and leads right up to one of the best fight scenes ever!!!

This is a raucous scene with guys flying in from all over the place, but with the fog and all the action, it's hard to get a good still, you'll just have to rent it to see for yourself!!

Washed up on shore just in time to be lost again!!

No longer all prim and proper, you now get a chance to see Kasey with her hair down, and Bill, well, he's hurt now, and still pissed!! This is her reaction to seeing that famous dinosaur made popular in the 50's that looks like a baby alligator with a large dorsal fin attatched to it's back, before they became wiped out from making too many movies!!

They really could have used a Willis O'Brien or a Ray Harryhausen, but instead it's the special effects of Jack R. Glass, who was quite gifted, and has his own history, but whose work lent itself better to TV where he also did a ton of work!!

The music for this amazing film was done by none other than the man with the double name, Alex Alexander in one of his very few outings!!

I'm sorry, and forgive me, but is this not the most classic 'The End' shot ever! Just like the art teacher you never had a chance to have, said, My Word, look at that prefect composition!!!
