THE CRATER LAKE MONSTER / Crown International Pictures - 1977

Here's one we never did, well, until now! It's all about a meteor that crashed into Oregon's Crater Lake and unearths a dinosaur egg. The heat from the meteor causes the egg to hatch, and, the emerging dinosaur takes to snacking on the locals. Actually filmed at Huntington Lake, California, where I used to spend my summers in the fifties at Boy Scout camp...

The main actor, Richard Cardella, has one acting credit, this one. Oh yeah, he also wrote it.

Some of our heroes (?) find a dinosaur in a painting while exploring a cave used by native Americans, our first clue that there really is freakin' Crater Lake Monster!

Then, it happens!.. The monster finds this guy out fishing on the lake and he becomes the first victim in this wild 'n' weird, tooth-filled story.

Just had to show this cool looking Chevy wagon used by the local investigating Sheriff.

This dude is fighting with his pal when he discovers the fisherman's mangled body in the water.

We finally catch a glimpse of the monster when it comes out of the water to attack two lovers in their beached motor boat. The animated scenes of the thing look pretty decent!

This pic is fun to peruse, especially if you were around during the seventies!

The Sheriff and Doc come across some very strange, giant prints in the sand. But, what in the Hell could have done this?!..

The Monster makes its way onto land, looking for snacks... It locates this mechanic out working on some machines and it's not long before the unlucky dude gets chomped up!

This is my favorite part... The Monster grabs a bale of hay and tosses it at the incoming Sheriff!

The Sheriff and a hippie with a rifle take one of the machines out to confront the Monster, but of course, the dumb ass hippie jumps out, slips and falls down... Do I even need to say what happens next?

It's kinda hard to figure out how the Sheriff is hurting the Monster with the machine, but, he draws some blood!

And, our title character goes down for the count (I thought just roaming around the countryside would have killed it, you know, it's a water dino and all) and our story is over... Tune in tomorrow when we'll bring you more Dungeon cargo!

MY SCIENCE PROJECT - "We Must Not Destroy The World" (Good Idea!) (1985)

I don't know what the budget was for tonight's Weird Wednesday feature, but I think they should have just fed a bunch of homeless people instead! The money would have been a lot better spent! Some people love this movie, but I just don't happen to be one of them!

So here it is, "My Science Project!" Let me know what grade you would give it!

Dennis Hopper is Bob Roberts, you know, kind of like Dick Peters!

When most high school kids need a quick fix science project, I've heard that a great majority of them seek out abandoned military equipment graveyards!

Backyard mechanics and alien technology make for strange bedfellows!

Wow, a Neo-Spectometer, I haven't seen one of those in like never!

Bob's an olde druggie, so he digs the juice!!

Then it gets really out of hand...

...And a timewarp portal opens!

 "My Science Project" was also released as "Time Busters!"

The real honest fact of the matter is, I used my own portable time machine to fast forward through the last 20 or 30 minutes!

I started to feel like this when I realized I wasn't a teenager any more!

Any movie playback device whether it be streaming, a DVD or even a VHS tape, enables you to manipulate time forward or backwards like a time machine, the only difference is, even if you go backward you don't regain the time you spent going forward, or as The Firesign Theatre so succinctly stated, "How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?"

If you're really in the mood to watch a teen movie from 1985, I think "Weird Science" with Kelly LeBrock, and a soundtrack that includes music by Oingo Boingo and Wall Of Voodoo is a better choice! I'm not usually like this, but I give this science project an F!

PINK ANGELS / Plateau Productions - 1972

We'll end July with this wild 'n' weird biker flick, it's all about a group of transvestite bikers that wheel their way to Los Angeles, making for a lot'sa rubbernecking. Filmed at Sierra Hwy & Soledad Canyon, Santa Clarita, CA.

This thing stars John (HANNAH, QUEEN OF THE VAMPIRES) Alderman, Henry (METEOR) Olek, Bruce THE THING WITH TWO HEADS) Kimball, Michael (THE BABY) Pataki and Dan (GRIZZLY ADAMS) Haggerty.

What better way to start a flick than a bunch of arty shots of giant concrete pipes... Right?!

Wow, my favorite place to go in the late fifties! Gimme a Papa Burger, onion rings and an ice cold A&W Root Beer! They served root beer and orange soda, you could order a Mad Dog, which was half root beer, half orange!

Anyway, the Pink Angels roll into town, first, dude runs over the "A&W Loves You" sign and totally clobbers the guy in the side car on the head, and, he's not even wearing a freakin' helmet!! Then, they have an epic food fight before they all cool off...

I had to show this pic because those diesel engines going through town were such a common sight back then.

As in so many biker flicks back then, our guys like to party just outside the city limits... Love those candles on the table!

Man, their threads are really eye catching, their personal sign of individualism!

Well, the wild girls from town show up and a sex party ensues! Even the girls' madam joins in on all the drunken fun!

Here's a great shot of Dan, a proud member of the Pink Angels!..

Things get even weirder when these two bikers get some therapy from this petite nudie-cutie gal... Hey, that's something I never owned, red long johns!!

The gay guys in the Pink Angels go shopping for some new clothes to strut around in. Here, they entertain the shoe guy who sells them some high heels!

Wait a minute now... Something doesn't seem quite right here!!!..

So, the military's interested in the Pink Angels for some goddamn reason, and, they capture one of the girls at a party and interrogate her...

The General gets his simple little mind blown when the 'girl' takes his wig off!!

To fix the problem, the General has everyone hanged outside his office, bringing this thing to an abrupt end! Go figure... So, Eegah!! will be back Wednesday for our first post in August, a month that will have even more cool junk for us!
