THE OUTER LIMITS / The Children Of Spider County - 1964

Welp, it's time for more classic Sci-Fi TV with Tabonga, we just do what the control voice tells us to do, here at The Dungeon!..

Eegah!! just sent over this fun lil' soundclip that even has sound effects from THE WAR OF THE WORLDS in it, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button there next to the giant cobweb, NOW, Rufus The Gnat! Here's our audio offering for... THE CHILDREN OF SPIDER COUNTY!

The story's kinda like VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED except this time, dad comes for a visit from space to convince his ET kids to leave Earth and go back with him to his planet to live. Of course, here, the CIA knows all about the superhuman kids since they've been monitoring them for years.

Looking down, we see that one ET kid is in jail waiting trial for murder, which was actually an accident and wasn't his fault.

Dad drops in from the void (what the Hell is he riding in, a big light bulb?) to see the results of his many manly genetic romps enjoyed years earlier. Wherever he's from, they don't wear shoes! Hey, better watch out for them hookworms, pal!

Cool composite shot with a negative effect!

This shot in the mill makes it look like the kid's still in jail! Kent Smith plays the alien dad, we also remember Kent from THE INVADERS.

Dabbs Greer plays a crusty old rifle toting farmer, but, he's no match for the superior intellect of the alien. We love Dabbs in IT! THE TERROR FROM BEYOND SPACE.

Space pops gives Dabbs a dose of extreme negativity... Goodnight, sweet Dabbs!

Wow, a good looking suit really makes the monster!

Anyway, a frustrated dad can't convince any of the kids to go back with him. Lee Kinsolving plays the main kid, Lee had a real classic look, but sadly, he developed a strange respiratory illness which, without warning, rendered him unconscious in December of 1974, he collapsed and died at the young age of 36.

Dad leaves in his butane powered spaceship and goes back to where he belongs!..

GOLDFACE, IL FANTASTICO SUPERMAN - Franco Pisano/Piero Umiliani - "Nadie Podía Salvar A La Humanidad En Peligro Excepto Él. Ni Todo Un Ejército Podía Contra Su Voluntad Y Su Fuerza. Por Eso Era Llamado... El Fantástico Superman" (1967)

I'm heading to Vegas to see Steely Dan on Friday, so I need to get some work done here, so without further delay, here's part three of my trilogy of golden films, "Goldface, The Fantastic Superman!"  Wait a minute, I don't remember any cool Dodge Valiants in this movie! What's this poster artiste think he can get away with anyhow?

"Goldface, Il Fantastico Superman" is just about as ridiculous as you could possibly imagine, and quite possibly, maybe even a little more! I guess that's what makes it almost great, but not quite!

"Goldface has got BIG Matthews in it, what the Hell more could you possibly want out of a movie than that?

AND.... LOTHAR and the Wrestling Champions of Caracas! Obviously, they had some bigtime money to blow on this production, and it shows! Just in case you're a little confused, don't get this Lothar confused with the lead singer in that awesome 60's band, Lothar and the Hand People! Speaking of, the music in "Goldface, Il Fantastico Superman" was written by Franco (How to Kill 400 Duponts) Pisano, and the Maestro Piero Umiliani, whom we've written about many times before as the composer of the Über classic Muppets tune "Mahna Mahna!!!"

This is probably what Goldface would have looked like if the costume department had for than a dollar three eighty to spend!

This is Espartaco Garibaldi Borga Santoni as the Doctor! Shhhh! Don't tell anybody, but he is also secretly Goldface! Espartaco was only in 20 movies, but what a line up they are! Titles like "Exorcism's Daughter," "Feast of Satan," "Raise Your Hands, Dead Man, You're Under Arrest," "Lisa and the Devil," and "Torrente, El Brazo Tonto De La Ley!" Espartaco moved on to higher ground in 1998!

Here's just one of the many nameless "Champions Of Caracas!"

So here's the deal, Goldface is not only a crime fighting super hero, he's also a top notch wrassler!

The legions of Goldface's fans include a number of beautiful women, who have never figured out that wrasslin' is fake!

I'm assuming, because that's all that I can do, that this is Big Matthews as Goldface's sidekick! There's not much to find out about Big, because he was only in two movies, this one, and a Turkish/Italian film called "Lo Scoiattolo," but this guy IS big, and he's one of the few people in the movie that don't really look Italian!

Here's a cool shot from the Royale Rumble that Goldface wins without any problems at all!

During the Royale Rumble, this German journalist tries to take ringside advantage when Goldface is down, to ask him how he feels about German women! The guy behind her was a wrassler known as Jack The Ripper!

This is just to show you the difference between men and women's vices!

It's really hard to get good action footage screen shots, but this IS a good one from the rumble!

Honestly, Goldface has got one of the most pathetic costimes ever! Check out the cheapass GF directly underneath his collar! As tough as he may be, this is not really a look that commands a lot of respect!

If wrasslin' seems like nothing but a joke to you, just remember that back in the 50's, the biggest reason people bought TVs was because they wanted to see Gorgeous George in action on the mat!

I'd give Tabonga's left root to have this poster! Vampire Negro and The Sons of Quasimodo, Hell Yeah!!

This shot leaves me speechless!!!

One of Godface's super powers is that he is able to climb trees and spy on chicks! You're jealous, aren't you?

The whole movie is based on Goldface's battle with Cobra! Here Cobra's number two get what's coming to her!! "Goldface, Il Fantastico Superman" is yet another film supplied to us for your pleasure from Brian at The Trash Palace!" Please do yourself, me, and him a favour, and visit his site! I guarantee if you dig these weird old films, you're in for the time of your life, and pick up a Ubangi's CD while you're at it! UNGAWA!!!

NIGHT OF THE GHOULS / Part 3 of Ed Wood's Trilogy - 1959

It's Ghoulish Monster Monday with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon! We gots a very Wild 'n' Weird flick with an interesting story, and, it's a redo post from from way back in 2007!! NIGHT OF THE GHOULS, along with BRIDE OF THE MONSTER and PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, was part of Ed's big trilogy plan. It was filmed in 1959 but he could not come up with the money to process the film, so, it sat in a vault until 1983 when our pal Wade Williams took it and produced the final product. It premiered on TV in Finland in 1996.

It would seem very odd indeed, not having Criswell pop up in a coffin to set the stage for yet another nutty Ed Wood feature!..

Eegah!! sent over this soundclip from the embarrassingly funny seance scene, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button there next to the mysterious floating machete, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula! Here's our audio offering for... NIGHT OF THE GHOULS!

Harvey B. Dunn and his beautiful nagging wife encounter a White Ghost while driving through some hills outside of Sylmar, CA. I had a girlfriend from there. We fondly remember Harvey from his roles as Captain Robbins in BRIDE OF THE MONSTER and as Gramps Morgan in TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE.

It's all in the hands... Looks like Bela's lessons in prestidigitation paid off!

Lobo is brought back from BRIDE OF THE MONSTER, this time he's badly scarred and seems to be experimenting with lipstick! I guess whatever makes you feel better about yourself. Tor also played a different Lobo in THE UNEARTHLY!.. "Time for go to bed!"

Okay, who wants to say grace?.. Kenne Duncan plays Dr. Acula, a fraudulant mystic who's out for one thing, bilking money out of superstitious elderly victims. Forry Ackerman played host Dr. Acula in our little horror comedy thriller, THE CREEP! The working title for the movie was DR. ACULA.

Here's all the weird crap going on in the soundclip!

The last still shows the Spirit Guide, here's what he trying to say... "Mongo, mongo! I am your spirit guide. Mongo! Mongo, mongo! From the everlasting pit of darkness. Dr. Acula calls and I obey! Mongo, mongo, mongo! I will lead you into the dark world beyond! Mongo, mongo, mongo! Mongo, mongo!" If you can notice at the top of his Devo helmet, there's a cool little skull!

Part of Dr. Acula's tricks is to have a handsome accomplice court the grieving widow and then use a look alike to serve as her dead husband. Of course, dead hubby tells her to give Dr. Acula all the money he wants!

What do you know?! There's Anthony (THE SKYDIVERS) Cardoza as Acula's helper, Tony!

Harry (KILLERS FROM SPACE) Thomas did Tor's makeup job, we used to see publicity stills of this Lobo in early issues of FM.

Patrolman Kelton is brought in for some cheap laffs, and, the coppers bring down the rampaging Lobo with a shower of bullets!
