EL DEMONIO AZUL - Ing Heinrich Henkel - "BLUE DEMON" (1964)

The title sez it all!! This is the original "Blue Demon" flick made in 1965, and even though, he is arguably one of THE greatest wrasslers in history, in this outing, he has his hands full!!

All the time people ask me, Eegah!! Why do you spend so much time on these Mexican wrasslin' movies? Take one look at this photo, and come up with yer own answer, amigo!!

Aye Chihuahua!!! See what can happen!! Now you kids know why your Mom and Dad told you not to never run downhill!!!!

This was not the first film Blue Demon had ever been in, because way back in 1961 he appeared in "La Furia Del Ring," as Blue Demond, but "El Demonio Del Azul" was his first championship role!!!

C'mon Man, you just know you're not sposed to be reading books like that!!!

Now even your girlfriend doesn't believe anything you say, and you ain't going to be getting any tonight neither!!

Meanwhile, back in the ring, Blue Demon has his own cross to bear!!!

Kookie werewolf dude goes through madcap transformation scene!!!

Now what are you gonna do? It's proof positive that reading is overrated, had he just been illiterate, and not read that book, none of this would have happened!!! Less reading, more fornication, that's the bottom line here!!!

The music put together by the formiable Ing. Heinrch Henkel is all over the place from 40's serials to "Forbidden Planet" style theremin electronica! Buena suerte finding a copy of this film, that's just the nature of the beast sometimes!! Take what you can get!

THE LAST MAN ON EARTH (L'ultimo Uomo Della Terra) - "The Wind Of Death" (1964)

In my humble opinion, Richard Matheson's novel "I Am Legend" comes across much better in this 1964 version of "The Last Man On Earth" than it did in the 2007 Will Smith feature.

Shot in Italy, this stark film looks killer in a black & white!! I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the fantastic Cinematography by Franco Delli Colli!

Vincent Price puts in another tremendous performance as the last man, Dr. Robert Morgan!! Nothing to do, but count the days!!

Among other things, Vincent has a record player and listens to some swingin' jazz as a way to try and relax, meanwhile, Zombies are constantly trying to break into his pad!!

Here's a "37 second soundbite" to sharpen your axe to!!

Vinnie doesn't get out much, if he uses up the rest of the gas left in the world, he's really going to be in trouble!!

So, let's see, this film was made in 1964, and the groundbreaking "Night Of The Living Dead" wouldn't be released until four years later, in 1968!! Very interesting!!

At this point Vinnie finally makes contact with another non-zombiefied human, and so the story just finally gets started.....You can get "The Last Man On Earth" on Netflix, and it streams freely on the internet, so what are you waiting for, the end of the world???
