LA SENORA MUERTE aka MADAME DEATH / Filmica Vergara S.A. - 1969

Since Xmas is over, I can review whatever I want, so, here's a cool Mexican flick starring John Carradine and sultry Regina Torne in a story about a mad scientist that teams up with an evil, disfigured woman to kidnap and operate on young women in order to make her beautiful again.

John Carradine was really an amazing guy. The intro in the sound clip is actually him speaking in Spanish, I've included it so you can hear how fluent he was in the language!

I have a wild sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our sharpened kitchen knives, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula!.. Here's a little sample from... LA SENORA MUERTE!

If you ever wanted to see sexy Regina run around naked, like me, well, this is definitely the movie for you, only $6 plus shipping on Amazon!..... GO!!

Anyway, her husband has a stroke so she seeks out the local mad scientist, Dr. Favel.

The doctor tricks wifey Marlene into helping with the experiment, aided by his little buddy! Shades of ASTRO ZOMBIES made the following year.

Well, let's just say things don't turn out too bueno for Marlene...

She's actually being double crossed by Dr. Favel, she must now seek out women to kill so that she can remain normal, while the doc can continue on with his experiments.

Here are two stills that I find quite interesting, I'd like to have a raven for my pad too.

No matter what Marlene does, the bad skin keeps returning, making her nearly insane...

As evident in this scene where she chases a young chica through the good old mannequin storage room with a big knife, the fun never ends!

The doc spills the beans to Marlene and while trying one last time to help her, the machine blows the Hell up! Tune in Wednesday for our last post of 2015...

DER FLUCH DES SCHWARZEN RUBIN - Gert Wilden - "13 Days To Die" (1965)

So what the Hell could possibly follow up the twelve days of Christmas??

"13 Days To Die!" 

12 Ways To Die!!
11 Ways To Cry!!!
And A Tiger In A Palm Tree! 

Classic vintage Chevy convertible!

This movie is supposed to be in colour! I got this copy from Sinister Cinema, and there is no colour to be seen, nowhere, nada!

Actually, if you want to see some photos that are a Helluva lot better than mine, and in colour, then head on over to the Supernatural Theater blog! Unfortunately, it still doesn't make the movie any better!

For me, the two best things about this film are the title "13 Days To Die," and the music by Gert Wilden! Here's just a taste of Gert's talent! We'll probably never get around to most of the other titles that Gert composed for like "Run, Virgin, Run," "Nurses For Sale," and "Campus Pussycats!" You're just going to have to search those out on your own!

Talk about a cryptic message!!

It's so weird that just like languages, wherever you go in the world, there are completely different types of music and instruments like these!

Horst (The Head, The Dead Are Alive) Frank is bad guy Perkins!

This is one of the more exciting scenes in the movie!

Serge Nubret is Pongo! If he looks a little buff to you, it's because Serge was Mr. Europe 1966, Mr. Universe 1976, and Mr. World in 1977!!!

Here with Pongo are the stars of the show Thomas (The Red Circle) Alder as Rolf Torring (Ralph Tracy), and Peter (A Study In Terror) Carsten as Rolf's bestest buddy Hans Warren! They make for a tough trio to tangle with!

"Der Fluch Des Schwarzen Rubin" is set in Thailand!
The literal translation of the title would be something like "The Curse Of The Black Ruby!"

The black rubies are a crap load of Uranium that everybody is dying to get their hands on!

Pongo is in much better shape than this pinhead statue that only has one arm!

Everybody gets saved in the end! Hooray!

And our heroes get the big thank you celebration that they deserved to get!

Leaving it open for a sequel. 

Please spare me!

2016 here we come, who'd of ever thunk?

A Freakin' Merry LOST IN SPACE Xmas! / The Toymaker - 1967

Well, I ended up with the Xmas day posting this year, I literally pulled this one out of my.. Err... Knot hole! Just got this set this week, and, I found this LOST IN SPACE episode actually had an Xmas tie in, soooo... Happy Newk Year, Ever'bloody!

I have a sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our mile high coal pile, NOW, Rufus The Gnat!.. Here are some Xmas sounds from... THE TOYMAKER!

The story starts with Will and Dr. Smith coming across a strange machine just sitting in the middle of nowhere! They figure out it's some kind of toy dispenser.

The robot warns Dr. Smith to quit screwing around, but, NOOO!.. Again, he's sure he's the only one that knows what they're doing, a reoccurring fatal flaw of his.

Some of the technology on this show requires an ample helping of your suspended disbelief. Anyway, Dr. Smith disappears into the big box and Will runs back to the ship to tell his mommy!

So, mom goes and tells dad and Major West all about another problem caused by Dr. Smith. As always, they have to stop what they're doing (usually some life or death situation) and help.

In the meantime, Will runs back to the box and, what else, gets himself trapped in there too.

They meet up with O. M. (Old Man), played by Walter (JACK THE GIANT KILLER) Burke. He's friendly but a little kookie! And, he doesn't like Dr. Smith.

Love these two shots, a typical device the men used throughout the series, this time used to lower some dynamite into a crevasse and then Professor Robinson with the robot, in red.

Back in the toy factory, Will hears some Xmas noises coming from behind a boarded up area. The little beaver tears a plank off and him and Dr. Smith watch the festivities back on Earth!

But, one of the old toymaker's wind up monsters is on the prowl and corners the two. The despicable doctor uses Will as a human shield yet again when faced with any type of danger!

The owner of the toy machine, Fritz (mouth pop, heal click) Feld, shows up and everything turns out hunky dory, except for Dr. Smith...

Professor Robinson invites everyone to go fishing to celebrate the event!.. A Merry Xmas to all, and to all, see you tomorrow!
