CAPTIVE WILD WOMAN / Universal Pictures - 1943

It's time to check out this little weirdie from Universal, released during WWII, it's all about a mad scientist who transplants human glands into a female gorilla which turns the ape into a beautiful young woman. Later though, a severe emotional jolt reverts her back into her primitive self!

Eegah!! sent over another fun little sound clip from this flick for our earjoyment, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our captive wild weasel, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula!.. Here's a taste of... CAPTIVE WILD WOMAN!

John (THE UNEARTHLY) Carradine plays the slick Dr. Sigmund Walters, he likes to experiment on animals in his lab and has a fascination with gland transplanting!

Here are Evelyn (THE WOLFMAN) Ankers as Beth Colman and Milburn (INVADERS FROM MARS) Stone as Fred Mason, both work for the circus.

Dr. Walters talks to a circus worker about stealing an ape for his experiments in a local bar. This is a joint that Eegah!! and Tabonga! would like to hang out at!

Dr. Walters gets his bloody ape, but, at what cost?..

So, on with the show! Walters hooks up the ape to exchange fluids with a female victim.

After the gorilla receives the human glands, she starts changing into...

Right, a beautiful young woman! Acquanetta plays Paula Dupree/the Ape Woman and can be seen as Paula Dupree again in JUNGLE WOMAN a year later.

Paula has a primitive power over the animals and assists Mason with his big cat act, footage of Clyde Beatty in the cat cage was beautifully cut in for the long shots!

Paula sees Mason kiss Beth and her jealousy takes over, causing her to start reverting back to her primitive ape form...

I threw this pic in from our Weird Photo Department, pretty cool, huh?!

Anyway, Beth lets the ape out and it tears Dr. Walters a new ass hole!

Be sure to check in Wednesday when the Dungeon Gang will give you another Xmas present!

CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR - The Fleischer Brothers (1936)

It's time for the Saturday Night Yuletide Special down in The Dungeon, and the classic Max Fleischer cartoon from 1936, "Christmas Comes But Once A Year!" Classic cartoons like this are addictive, and once you get started, it's hard to stop, and why would you even want to?

I will never cease to be amazed that these Fleischer cartoons only have credits for 6 people. Producer Max Fleischer would make seven! The voices of Jack Mercer and Mae Questel would make nine! Brother Lou Fleischer as music supervisor would round it all to a very cool 10 people!

It's a cold and lonely Christmas night at the orphanage!

Even the Christmas tree is pathetic!

But the misery and despair is lost on the orphan kids who have learned to make the best of the worst type of situations!

When the poor kids get their toys, they're overjoyed at first, and then almost immediately all the cheap junk falls apart, and the joy of Christmas is over before it even got started!

All together now, "WAAHHH!"

Lucky for these kids, Professor Grampy the Inventor just happens to be passing by on his homemade sleigh and hears the collective crying!

Grampy gets a BIG idea!!

Grampy crawls through a window, and gathers up everything he can get his hands on, and proceeds to go to work creating toy after toy out of a bunch of junk! Grampy is a genuine genius!

He makes a toy train out a French press and some dinnerware!

This popcorn stringing thing made out of a sewing machine and a hot plate is beyond brilliant!

Grampy decks the halls with those strings of popcorn!

Then he puts himself together a Santa Claus outfit utilizing some stove pipes and a red and white tablecloth!

Grampy dumps a real big box of cotton on the stairwell to create a ski run!

Then he paints a snowy Winter mural on the wall to complete the effect!

The last step is to take a bunch of umbrellas, and stuff them all into each other so that when you open them all up, they fan out like one big Christmas tree, and then place the tree on a portable record player on low speed so that it rotates to reflect the light!

That Grampy is some kind of Rube Goldberg, and although nobody has ever come out and said it, he's so incredibly talented, I have no doubt that Grampy's last name is Fleischer too!!!!

For the closing seconds of this last scene, it changes from a flat animated cartoon to a fully realized live scene! Max, Dave, and Lou, what a trio! Life would have been so boring without them! "Christmas Comes But Once A Year," and a whole bunch of other holiday treats can be viewed for free on Youtube at Xmas Flicks.com! 

Ho, Ho, Ho!
