DOS FANTASMAS Y UNA MUCHACHA / Two Ghosts And A Young Woman - 1959

Here's a decent little musical horror comedy from Mexico about two men that fight a duel over a woman where they both shoot each other and become ghosts. For 50 years they are confined to the theatre (by the boss ghost) they shot each other in because they refuse to become friends. After an incident, they become friends and use their ghostly skills to foil the bad guys.

It stars German Valdes aka Tin-Tan, Ana Luisa Peluffo and Manuel 'Loco' Valdes (brother of German). 

It all starts at the theatre Ana is performing her number, until...

In one box, German confronts Manuel in another box for the hand of Ana/

Manuel pulls out his revolver, and German does the same... They both shoot each other and end up as ghosts in the old theatre where it all happened

For 50 years they feud with each other but then something happens that ends the rift, and they team up to use their unearthly skills.

You see, this couple came into the old theatre for some alone time, but when the guy abuses the woman, the duo steps in. The floating hand trick works every time!

Thing is, the girl looks exactly like their beloved Ana, obviously a relative. The boys introduce themselves and pledge that they'll be around if needed.

But first, the boys put on some ghostly acts for her as she sits in a theatre seat. Love this one, it's just freaking out there!

And some kaleidoscope fun to boot.

They pop in at the end of the act to remind her that they'll be watching...

Holy cow!!.. She's in a monster musical movie and is getting ready for the shoot.

She plays the heroine chased by all the monsters! Weirds-Ville! After all, it's a musical.

In one scene where this guy interacts with Ana (I guess), well, they invisibly punch him and it may be my favorite scene, great acting.

The director can't believe what he's seeing as the ghosts wreak havoc on the set

They become visible and the cameras keep on rolling!

These robbers try and extort money from the film's producer, but...

Could it be possible that the boys are lurking around in the room?

German tells the head crook to go ahead and shoot him in the head and sees what happens. The guy shoots him, nothing happens except some smoke. Then German mentally sends a diesel locomotive at the bad guy and he turns to jelly...

It ends with German, Ana and Manuel dancing off into the sky, a fun little flick!

SETTE ORCHIDEE MACCHIATE DI ROSSO - "Seven Blood-Stained Orchids" (1972)

This Edgar Wallace Saturday Night Special is a little bit different than most, starting with it's Italian, and not German!

 

Wanna watch a one minute version of "Seven Blood-Stained Orchids," well, here you go!!

 

Everybody else gets their credits superimposed on them from one of their scenes, but not big shot Antonio, he gets a full shot of just his name!

Antonio (When Men Carried Clubs And Women Played Ding Dong" Sabato just passed away this last January at the age of 77.

Being German, gooshy Uschi Glas, billed here as Uschi Glass, was in quite a few other Edgar Wallace films like "The Gorilla Gang," and "The Sinister Monk." She also graced the screen in classics like "Suck Me Shakespeer," and "Schmucklos!"

I think this was the only Edgar Wallace film that Pier Paolo Capponi was in, but he was in Argento's "The Cat o' Nine Tails."

I don't think Marina Malfatti was in any other Edgar Wallace films either, but she was in another bloodstained feature in 1973, "The Bloodstained Lawn!"

As far as I can tell, Rosella (Black Belly Of The Tarantula) Falk was in no other Edgar Wallace films either.

I don't see any other Edgar Wallace films in his portfolio, but talk about versatile, Claudio was in everything from "Gidget Goes To Rome," to "The Death Ray Of Dr. Mabuse."

But not for long!!

Marisa Mell was also in EW's "Secret Of The Red Orchid," and along with Cladio Gora was also in "Danger: Diabolik!"

I think I could have passed for that guy holding the bottle in 1972!

"Seven Blood-Stained Orchids" is a movie about a serial killer in Italy!

Now this is a formidable looking police car if I ever saw one!

They call him The Half-Moon Killer for good reason! He leaves one of these at the scene of the murder!

Pretty cool record if you're into straight razors!

"Sette Orchidee Macchiate di Rosso" was directed by Umberto (Eaten Alive!) Lenzi, and the great soundtrack was composed by Riz Ortonlani.

Here's a fantastic version of the theme song performed by Ozarks!

EVIL BRAIN FROM OUTER SPACE / Starman Fights The Monsters - 1966

Here's a redo of a small post we did way back on June 10, 2008, 13 years and 1 day ago!! Whatever that means. Anyway, here's a Japanese flick starring Starman put together from three other movies, and basically why it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. That's why you gotta love it!..

As in all the Starman stories, we start first with a visit to the Emerald Planet, somewhere in space. The 'people' there are a strange lot, they don't do much but they do send Starman to Earth to stop alien invasions there...

In this one, this scientist has the evil brain in this metal case, trying to get away from the police who are chasing him. While being captured, he ends up dropping the case into a stream and it's lost.

After the police question the scientist, he's released and begins working with others to stop the menacing evil brain from outer space! He tells all about the horrible things the brain is capable of, some really gruesome stuff!

And here's his audience, young kids!!! What the Hell, man! And the kids are eating it up!

Starman joins the discussion in his Earth duds, but before he leaves, he changes into his super hero attire and flies away as they wave goodbye, he's on their team, yay!

Here's the mad doctor and his one-legged henchman... So you know, you know?

Man, reminds me of when I built my model train scene on a piece of plywood in the garage when I was a kid.

Starman sneaks around in the mad scientist's backyard and sees where the secret lab is, plus, they have the case with the evil brain inside.

Then from one of the movies, the Space Mutant appears who's touch is certain death!

And from the Poison Moth Kingdom is this fancy Dan! Stylin'...

This sends chills up my spine. Starman barely stops these two weirdo before they were going to use those pikes to attack the small boy and girl from the earlier pic!.. Seriously!!

Cool shot of Starman tossing aside that goofball.

The threats just never end, our hero just smiles back before trouncing the jerk!

Let us not forget the other movie monster, this is the Devil's Incarnation, and has another touch of death especially for you!

They finally find the evil brain but it 'splodes!

The Space Mutant shows up again but ends up as a small pile of writhing gristle!

I guess they find the real brain and pour acid on it, game over man! Have a great weekend, try and have some fun!
