MYSTERY ON MONSTER ISLAND / Almena Films, F. Ariza, Fort Films Productions - 1981

Here's a weak Jules Verne story all about a young European lad living in San Francisco, he's reluctant to marry his long time girlfriend because he wants to travel around the world first. His wealthy uncle agrees to send him on a global expedition aboard his ship, but, en route he and his travelling companion are shipwrecked on a remote island, populated by countless prehistoric creatures as well as gold-hunting bandits!

This thing stars Terence (MODESTY BLAISE, SPIRITS OF THE DEAD) Stamp and Peter (THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, THE SKULL) Cushing with a cast of lesser known actors...

Peter plays Mr. Kolderup, he buys a tropical island for five million dollars at an auction. Terence Stamp plays his rival, Taskinar, who also wants the island because he knows a treasure of gold is hidden there, but he loses the bid.

So, Kolderup sends his nephew, Jeff (Ian Sera), to the island on a boat along with his teacher, Professor Artelect (David Hatton), but on the way there, they meet up with this super scary sea monster!.. Check out those highly detailed eyeballs.

Then, Jeff and the Professor get shipwrecked and end up on Monster Island anyway.

On the island, Jeff and the Professor come across some natives ready to slit the throat of one of their own! Our guys step in and save the dude and he becomes part of the gang. The thing that bugs me the most about this movie is the freakin' Professor's spastik reaction to absolutely everything that happens. I wanted him to get killed after 10 minutes, but, had to suffer through the whole 100 minute story without satisfaction!! DAMN IT!!!

Here are some of the monsters on the island, you can see the care taken in their creation!

Our guys meet a girl wandering around and she invites them to stay at her place. She puts a record on and does the twist with Jeff!!.. Let me out of here!!

These weirdos are seen wandering through the forest... I wonder what they look like?

WTF?!!.. You gotta be kidding, jeez!! Hey, costume designer!! YOU'RE FIRED!!!

It looks bad for the good guys! But, their native buddy, Carefinatu, saves them from whatever the weirdos have in store for them!

Then, the volcano 'splodes and our gang takes shelter in a cave, followed by the weirdos.

Finally, Kolderup shows up in his ship to save our guys from the many dangers on the island,

Well anyway, the weirdos are ready to shoot everyone when they are attacked by some small missiles! The day is saved when Kolderup's cook has Taskinar and his pals surrender to the authorities. Our goofball Professor still has many more embarrassing scenes to overact in before the ending credits roll. Okay, there you go, join us again tomorrow when Eegah!! will have a specialty item to share, later dudeskis!

Dungeon Bulletin... It's looking like Eegah!! and I should have taken Russian in high school instead of German! Stoopid kidz!!

The 1950's HORROR And SCI-FI MOVIES Of VINCENT PRICE

Here are Vinnie's horror and sci-fi flicks from the fifties. Man, he was such an icon, just so perfect for his roles, he could be the likable good guy, or, he could be the most evil man on Earth!.. We salute you, Mr. Dungeon Hero!

First up is HOUSE OF WAX from 1953, originally released in 3-D. Vinnie plays Prof. Henry Jarrod, horribly scarred by fire, full of revenge for the ones responsible for the crimes against him!.. Great make up job, I mean, like, really creepy!!

In 1954 Vinnie stars as the devious Gallico the Great in THE MAD MAGICIAN. Although the movie was filmed in black and white, it was also released in 3-D to thrill the audiences back then!

Vinnie then stars as Omar Khayyam in the lighthearted SON OF SINBAD in 1955. Here he is with a group of harem girls that would make anyone happy!

He gets to play The Devil with gusto in THE STORY OF MANKIND in 1957, a strange flick with a pile of famous actors to fill out the lineup!

Vinnie hits his stride in 1958 with THE FLY as François Delambre, brother of the title character. Saw this one the same year, scared the crap out of me. Also, a very sad flick...

In 1959, he stars as Frederick Loren in the William Castle classic, HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL. Again, you can never tell if he's the good guy or the bad guy, another perfect role for him!

I also saw RETURN OF THE FLY in 1959, Vinnie returns (ha ha) as the uncle of the new Fly monster. This is one whacked out movie, but, very enjoyable seeing that big old fly head!

Vinnie's back in 1959 in another William Castle classic, THE TINGLER... What's the wildest part of this movie is that Dr. Chapin (Vinnie) shoots himself up with LSD!!!

Our last offering is THE BAT from 1959, Vinnie stars as Dr. Wells who teams up with Agnes Moorehead in this mystery thriller... Welp, there you go, we're back on Wednesday with even more, from, The Dungeon!!
