THE CASTLE OF FU MANCHU - Carlos Camilleri & Malcom Shelby - "Assignment Istanbul " (1969)

We got a special film for you tonight titled "The Castle Of Fu Manchu", a real favorite of our buddy Professor Grewbeard over at the "Magic Carpet Burn" blog! (If for some unknown reason, you have never visited his blog, boy, are you missing out. The link is over yonder!)

Here's what I've got to say about Christopher Lee as Fu Manchu! The two letters that make up his first name are F U!! What more do you need to know? Isn't it just quite obvious why he is bent on world domination!!

Fu Manchu has the power to ruin your day, if he so decides, and he doesn't even have to be there, he can do it via long distance!! The music for this film was composed by virtual unknowns Carlos Camilleri and Malcomb Shelby! It was Malcom's solo outing and Carlos wrote for one other film two years earlier, " The House Of 1000 Dolls."

Just like in four other Fu Manchu movies, Tsai Chin as sidekick Lin Tang watches on approvingly! She is still active and working today!!

The Prof would agree that this is one of Jesus Franco's weakest directorial outings! The elements we need and expect just are not there!! Where's the cool club scene and music? This movie really does look like it was just done for a paycheck!! Four Fu Manchu movies would have been plenty!!

We do get treated to a bunch of weird shots, like this very impressive quadrature gauge!

Weird phallic gravestones and one that looks like the end of a tube of toothpaste, or maybe the back of the head of Johnny Roventini, the 1950's "Calling Phillip Morris" bellhop kid!

Would this be considered a ring or just a weird pinkie protector finger decoration??

Looks and smells like Jess Franco, but tastes like television!!!

This is a rare film in the fact that you don't really have to actually watch it, because this poster tells the whole story!!

Fu Manchu has his own in house Healthcare system set up for his employees!!! Next!!!!

The F U Man watches over each and every one of us, all of the time, making life easy, so we don't have to worry about it!!

Now that you all feel safe, go on out, and have yourself a mighty fine weekend!!

THE DEMON - Nick Labuschagne - "Profane Nocturnal Fiend" (1979)

What a piece of work, but what a prefect movie to lead off this Monday The 13th week, because this jewel is an unholy midnight calling, that is probably not worth your time, unless you are finally really tired of watching those "Gunsmoke" re-runs for the umpteethmillion time, or have been having trouble sleeping lately!!

The music was composed by Nick Labuschagne in his first of only two composing gigs, the other being the 1983 Gary Lockwood classic, "Survival Zone!" Pointless insignificant music from Lipps Inc. and The Sugarhill Gang are thrown into the background to pad out the 1979 experience!!

There are some tremendously okay scenes of driving around at night!!

Cameron Mitchell shows up in a vague unsuccessful attempt to conjure up some validity, but to no avail!!

Right about here is the time for one big collective WTF??

My word, that outfit was loud!! Can you people hold it down, I'm trying to sleep in here!!!

Now you gotta admit, this is a pretty cool composition!! Sometimes that's it, sometimes that all you can squeeze out of a film, one good shot!!!

That "Misfit Of Science" girl, Jennifer Holmes as What's-her-face, gets the added indignity bonus of having to run around in only her chonies to escape the madman, in this, her very first film outing!!

How rude to follow a lady into the bathroom! If you were wondering what kind of fashion statement Jennifer was trying to make, it's the shower curtain she tore down in an attempt to cover herself up!!

Monster Music

Monster Music
AAARRGGHHH!!!! Ya'll Come On Back Now, Y'Hear??
