10 MOVIES TABONGA! LOVES TO WATCH AGAIN! Part 4

Welcome to Halloween Countdown 2017, here, at the Dungeon!.. We're going to try and give you a pile of wild 'n' weird movies and junk for you to enjoy, so, I'll start the show with 10 more movies Tabonga! loves to watch again!

I love THE CRAWLING EYE, it's a unique flick that's always fun to watch again! The monsters are super weird, they like to creep around in freezing radio-active clouds and then rip the heads off puny unsuspecting humans!!

This Howard Hawk production is one of the very best sci-fi movies... Ever!! It is basically flawless in its representation of a Martian super-carrot!

My dad took me to see THE MONOLITH MONSTERS when it came out, can't quite remember the movie is was billed with. Man, what a cool flick this is, the Universal special effects team nailed it! And, this is the only movie monster to be a purely chemical process!

I love to watch IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE every now and then, there is just something special about this movie that makes it so watchable, like, the amazing Xenomorph creatures!

Eegah!! and I saw THE MANSTER when it came out. This flick is so damn insane, it kept us on the edge of our seats the whole time, and, seeing the split at the end was simple indescribable! We loved the Hell out of this one!

THE CRAWLING HAND is so out there, it's freakin' crazy! It stars Peter Breck, Kent Taylor, Rod Lauren, Alan Hale Jr., Allison Hayes, Sirry Steffen, Arline Judge, Richard Arlen, Tristram Coffin and Ross Elliott!!.. Daaamn!

Boy, do I remember seeing ATTACK OF THE MUSHROOM PEOPLE on TV in the early sixties. This is definitely a movie you will never forget seeing for the first time, super creepy and always fun to watch again!

When I'm in the mood for a good laugh, I put THE GIANT CLAW on! This was supposed to be a top shelf production, but when the producers watched the final product, they contemplated suicide!! But, ended up a fan favorite!!

DEVIL GIRL FROM MARS is another movie I like to put on when I'm working on my own monsters. Love Nyah in her sexy space uniform, Chani, the wild looking refrigerator robot and her flying saucer that looks like a child's toy top!

Last on the list is SHE DEMONS, it stars Irish McCalla, who I had a crush on, Tod Griffin, Gene Roth and Rudolph Anders. I think the creepiest part of the movie is when they show the face of Colonel Osler's wife! She was in an atomic lab accident... YOW!!

Tune in on Wednesday when we'll be here with more Dungeon Halloween Cargo!

MOONRAKER - "007" (1979)

Tonight's Saturday Night Special is Roger Moore's fourth appearance as James Bond in the 1979 film

"MOONRAKER!"

My upfront and honest opinion of "Moonraker" is that it's not even close to being my favourite James Bond movie, but then I think they should have stopped making James Bond movies after Sean Connery!

Roger Moore was absolutely great as "The Saint," but as James Bond, I just never did get it!

In fact, the only thing that makes "Moonraker" worth watching is there's lots of footage of Dungeon Superstar Hero "Richard (EEGAH!!) Kiel as the very large bad guy Jaws!

"Moonraker" is so far-fetched, I'm pretty sure it could be classified as a comedy!

Lois "Hot" Chiles is the lovely Holy Goodhead! Lois is very classy in the role even with a name like that!

This absurd tale meanders from Venice to Rio just for starters!

The Carnival in Rio has been used as a backdrop in many, many films, most notably in my book, "Black Orpheus!"

OF COURSE, it was the menacing 7' 2" Richard Kiel in that big clown outfit!

Probably one of the best things in this film is to see Roger Moore give a big grin back to Jaws! He does it a couple of times!

I think this might be my first experience with musicians in animal costumes since "The Banana Splits!"

Just to prove how serious Jaws is, he bites through some one inch aircraft cable!

And that sets up the whole ludicrous 'Gondolas Gone Wild' scene!

Which in turn, sets up the whole Jaws crash and fall in love scene!

Meanwhile, Roger Moore takes a turn at looking like Clint Eastwood!

IF it hadn't already been done in 1975, I'll bet the Producers would have loved to have called this movie "JAWS!"

Now James Bond finds himself in a huge jungle cave populated by beautiful young women! Pretty lucky guy except for the monstrous snake in that pond!

And guess who else is there too!!

They've been everywhere on earth, so now for the "Moonraker" ending, it's time to blast off into space!

My brain is not secured, so I'll stop right here.

Tabonga's next post will be in October and the first of our annual contributions to the Halloween Countdown, so get ready, and be wary of the scary, Larry!

THE SAVAGE GIRL / Commonwealth Pictures - 1932

It's Friday once again, and, time to check out this story about African explorer Jim Franklin, he's hired by perpetual drunkard and eccentric millionaire Amos P. Stitch on a whim, to capture animals to stock a private zoo on his estate. On the way to Africa they pick up a London cabbie and his cab to drive Stitch on the safari, and in Africa they hire Alex Bernouth, a German jungle guide, and Oscar, a Harlemite who wants to get back to New York. Their expedition is observed by a white jungle girl who warns the animals against being captured and releases any animal they capture.

The movie stars Rochelle (voice of Bosko's girlfriend 'Honey' in a ton of cartoons) Hudson as the Savage Girl, Walter (THE MUMMY'S TOMB) Byron as Jim Franklin, Harry (334 acting credits!!) Myers as Amos P. Stitch, Adolph (REVOLT OF THE ZOMBIES) Milar as Erich Vernuth and Floyd (THE VAMPIRES'S GHOST) Shackelford as Oscar.

Amos B. Stitch is drunk on his ass and comes up with the idea of an African safari for him and his pal, Jim Franklin. He has the telephone operator do all the work of booking the voyage, since he's so out of it!

Great shot of the action as they're getting ready to start the voyage! Amos also hires a British cabbie to drive him around in Africa!

Once in Africa, Amos hires Oscar, from Harlem, to be his personal servant. Oscar is amazed at how Amos can get anything done since he's always drinking!

Then, Savage Girl becomes aware of an expedition which has located in her jungle domain, where she helps protect her animal friends that roam the area.

She notices that the intruders have built a cage to capture large animals. She ends up releasing a lion after is was caught in the cage. Love the shot of her blending in with the tree branches!

Jim and Erich decide to build a trap for the Savage Girl, and, it works perfectly!

They bring her back to their shack, then get in a fight because Erich wants the girl for himself!! Jim fires Erich as a result of his obsession.

Thing is, Savage Girl has a crush on Jim for defending her against Erich...

But, Erich goes out and hires some natives to capture Jim with the idea of killing him, paving the way for Erich to make Savage Girl his own!! But, there's a problem, Oscar runs to Amos and tells him what's about to happen. Amos and Oscar arrive in the taxi with guns blazing, the natives run like scared children, and, Jim is saved!

In the meantime, Erich is making his intentions clear to Savage Girl. Jim goes to the hut and confronts Erich yet again, this time though, it's a battle to the death!!

At one point, a gorilla (for Eegah!!) arrives to help out, Erich grabs his revolver and is ready to shoot Jim, when, the ape grabs Erich and deep sixes him and brings our jungle tale to an end!

Tune in tomorrow when we'll have more cool junk, just for y'all...
