DR. CYCLOPS / Paramount - 1940

Tonight we have an early monster movie filmed in Technicolor and stars that very kinky stage, film and TV actor, Mr. Albert Dekker! Albert's last role was the detective Pat Harrigan in THE WILD BUNCH.

Hey, nice Mexican lobby card!!..

So you see, Dr. Alexander Thorkel has a secret, he can miniaturize any type of animal, including man. And, when nosey colleagues arrive, he miniaturizes them when he feels his research and solitude are being threatened.

The music was composed by Gerard Carbonara, Albert Hay Malotte and Ernst Toch, together they had a total of 225 credits in good old Hollywood.

Now it's time, to say goodbye, to all our fam-il-y, M.. I.. C.. Wait, no, it's time to bring in our feisty lil' flyboy helper, Rufus The Gnat! He's 'ere to be pushin' that big red 'GO' button on this, the first day of November, 2010, wif' dis wild Moldie Oldie!.. DR. CYCLOPS!

There's no beating around the bush here, the movie begins with a friend questioning the doctor's motives concerning his weird experiments, and threatens to tell the authorities about it! So, already, the audience knows that this madman will do anything to protect his interests.

The Doc's colleagues show up at his out of the way abode slash lab!

The Doc has his own Radium mine, as witnessed by Victor (TUGBOAT ANNIE SAILS AGAIN) Kilian, who plays Steve Baker.

Eegah!! sells those special atomic wrenches where he works!!

The Doc admires some of his clever handywork!

He does a great job of pretending to be willing to share his discoveries with the world, after being caught in a lie.

Pedro, come here!..

CLANK!.. zztttt... ha ha ha!

That's one fine insert poster, probably worth $15,000, I'm guessing..

After they escape to the outside, they have to hide in cactus to get away from the Doc's big black cat!!

Dr. Bulfinch becomes a miniature human guinea pig!

Our little heroes have to face alligators and a big pyromaniac!!

They try to have him shoot himself and then they steal his glasses... Nuttin' woiks!

The train goes off the tracks here for Dr. Cyclops as he breaks the beam he's on, trying to get his machine unjammed. He should'a had Lean Cuisine instead of those $7 gordoburgers at Carl's Jr.

The Doc hangs on by a thread as our hero Bill Stockton is able to cut the cord holding the atomic reactor in position.

YAH-HOO-HOO-HOOEY!.....

Here's a pulp cover that probably most of us don't remember!

Ghoulnight Everbloody!!..

Have Yourself A Very Scary MAD MONSTER PARTY!!

It's a real...."Mad Monster Party" with all the good folks from down at the church!!!

This is my Dad and Mom! Too bad this wasn't a Halloween party, this picture was taken right before they did some do-it-yourself brain surgery on me!

My Godfather and his wife! Your choice!

The Party's Over!

Here's one last wallpaper for ya'll, hope you had a good time at our Halloween Countdown party! Phew! Remember Kids, It's Okay to be Insane, but do be Freakin' Safe!!!

SEIZURE - Lee Gagnon - "It's A Children's Story" (1974)

Okay Kids, here ya go, Happy Halloween! We have not come to praise, we are here to bury "Seizure!" "The evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones!!" Right on Bill!!

"Seizure" is not Shakespeare, but is indeed based on the story of Faust written by German author Johann Wolfgang Goethe! It is an amazing piece of film history, not as a movie per se, but for who was involved in the making of it! Just to start with, it's the first film ever made by writer/director extraordinaire, Oliver Stone, and if the main guy looks familiar to you freaks, it's because it's none other than Jonathan(Barnabas Collins)Frid, the star of all 594 episodes of the TV vampire soap opera "Dark Shadows!" Jonathan is Edmund Blackstone, writer of children's books!

The third, but actually first reason to see this movie, is because Mary Woronov is in it! Mary is one of the most stunning and statuesque women with a sense of humor to ever grace the silver screen, and major Dungeon Heroin(e)! Here she's amazing, as Mikki Hughes, so what else do you need to know?

Joseph Sirola is the extremely rich and obnoxious husband of Mikki, Charlie Hughes! Joseph is probably better known for his voice-over work. He's done tons of commercials and was the voice of Dr. Doom in the Fantastic Four cartoons!

Extremely intelligent people, renting this car was probably one of the biggest expenses incurred in the making of "Seizure!"

Edmund sketches out all of the unsavory characters in his book, you see, he's writing a horror story for kids, and this is "The Queen Of All Evil!"

All the relatives have got together at The Blackstone's home in the country for the weekend, and what a grand group it is!!

The array of psychotronic star power in this flick never quits! 60's teen heart throb Troy Donahue is Mark Frost, Mikki's lover, but this is a far cry from "A Summer's Place!" Troy's real name was Merle Johnson Jr. and he was ranked #10 on a list of TV's 25 Greatest Teen Idols!

Does it stop there? Hell No!! Not to be outdone by any Mexican movies, how about Hervé Villechaize himself, as Spider, The Dwarf!

Edmund Blackstone is about to have a major WTF?! moment as all the vile and evil characters in his book and dreams, come to life! Did you know that besides this film and "Dark Shadows," Jonathan Frid only acted in two other movies, "House Of Dark Shadows," as none other than Barnabas Collins, and TV movie "The Devil's Daughter!"

Mary/Mikki doesn't really give a rat's ass, and is most likely wondering where Andy and The Velvet Underground were when she really needed them!

If I had a time machine, here's where I'd go, to see Mary as a Go-Go dancer at an EPI VU gig.....

Martine Beswick is "The Queen Of All Evil!" Martine started her career as the 'dancing silhouette during the opening credits' of "Dr. No," then she was cast as Zora, one of the gypsy fighting girls, in "From Russia With Love," then there was "Slave Girls," "One Million Years BC," "Prehistoric Women" and her role as Sister Hyde before she became the evilest woman in the world! She was Miss Jamaica in 1961!!

Troy doesn't last very long in the sack with "The Queen Of All Evil!"

I told you not to ask me about 'da plane' again!!

The third member of the unholy allianace of evil is Henry Judd Baker, as Jackal The Giant! Henry was also in four episodes of "Dark Shadows" as Istvan. It seems like Henry had a penchant for working in movies with one word titles like "Fingers," "Cruising," "Neighbors," "Vigilante," "America," and "Shakedown!"

The music for "Seizure" was composed by the mysterious Lee Gagnon, who only worked on two other films besides "Seizure," and one of them was a short! Monsieur Gagnon was a highly respected Canadian jazz saxophonist, flutist, and band leader who at times led a 10 piece jazz band, sometimes a quartet, and sometimes a quintet! He released at least five albums in the 60's and 70's!

The evil trio give what's left of the family members a headstart in a race of life or death!!

Charlie Hughes gets taken out quickly!!

Mikki was getting away, and you think she just might make it, but she ends up being forced into a gladiatorial Westside Story style knife fight with Edmund!

Don't get the idea this movie is a comedy, it's plenty weird all right, and it's funny enough, but it's also absurdly uncomfortable to watch at times!

"The Queen Of All Evil" wins all the battles, and the war of wits with Edmund Blackstone!

Edmund is left in his own personal Hell! There's nobody else to blame, he wrote the story himself!
