MOVIES DIRECTED BY ARTHUR C. PIERCE

Today we feature Arthur C. Pierce and the six movies he directed from 1965-78. And, we'll have much more info for you on this hard working man and the movies he was involved in...

First up is THE HUMAN DUPLICATORS from 1965, this wild flick stars George (ROBOT MONSTER) Nader, Richard (EEGAH!!) Kiel, Barbara (THE POWER) Nichols, George (COUNT YORGA, VAMPIRE) Macready, Dolores (PHANTOM PLANET) Faith, Hugh (THE MOLE PEOPLE) Beaumont and Richard (GOG) Arlen!.. WOW!!

MUTINY IN OUTER SPACE from 1965 is one of my favorite flicks to watch again, This one stars William (THE NIGHT THE WORLD EXPLODED) Leslie, Dolores (HOUSE OF BLACK DEATH) Faith (48 years old at time of death), Richard (ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS) Garland (41 years old at time of death), Harold (FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER) Lloyd Jr. (40 years old at time of death), Glenn (THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN) Langan and Francine (SPACE MONSTER) York.

In 1966, Arthur directed WOMEN OF THE PREHISTORIC PLANET. This hard to find movie stars Wendell (THE ASTRO ZOMBIES) Corey, Keith (NIGHT OF THE WITCHES) Larsen, John (TARANTULA) Agar and Merry (HOUSE OF THE DAMNED) Anders.

Also in 1966, Arthur directs LAS VEGAS HILLBILLYS, a flick that was a real departure from his sci-fi roots! This one stars Ferlin (HILLBILLYS IN A HAUNTED HOUSE) Husky, Jayne (THE FAT SPY) Mansfield (34 years old at time of death), Mamie (NAVY vs. THE NIGHT MONSTERS) Van Doren, Sonny (HILLBILLYS IN A HAUNTED HOUSE) James and Richard (MOONRAKER) Kiel. It features a pile of country western stars including Del Reeves, Bill Anderson, Connie Smith and more...

THE NAVY vs, THE NIGHT MONSTERS from 1966 is another movie I like to watch again! This crazy thing stars Mamie (HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL) Van Doren, Anthony (THE WASP WOMAN) Eisley, Billy (WEREWOLVES ON WHEELS) Gray, Bobby (DOOMSDAY MACHINE) Van and Pamela (WILD IN THE STREETS) Mason.

Twelve years later in 1978, Arthur directs his last movie, THE ASTRAL FACTOR. It stars Robert (BEYOND THE STARS) Foxworth, Stefanie (THE BOATNIKS) Powers, Sue (END OF THE WORLD) Lyon, Marianna (SCHIZOID) Hill and Elke (THE HOUSE OF EXORCISM) Sommer.

What I learned from this post is that Arthur directed a pile of big stars during his time as a director. We will learn a lot more about this man in some upcoming posts, do not miss those! Eegah!! will be here on Wednesday with more Dungeon Cargo, just for you!!

THE DOLL SQUAD / Feature-Faire Productions - 1973

It's another Monday at The Dungeon with Tabonga!.. I got this Ted V. Mikels flick off TCM lately, so, time to check it out. The story is pretty simple, it's about a squad of beautiful government agents whose job it is to catch a group deadly saboteurs, what else?! Ted was also responsible for stuff like DR. SEX, THE ASTRO-ZOMBIES, THE CORPSE GRINDERS, CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS, THE WORM EATERS and TEN VIOLENT WOMEN.

It starts with the with the explosion of our latest rocket during its launch!..

Eegah!! sent over a sound clip of the James Bondish theme from this flick for us to check out, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button there by the big canister of germs, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula! Here's our audio offering for... THE DOLL SQUAD

Here's Dungeon hero Anthony (THE MIGHTY GORGA) Eisley with his government pal watching the launch, moments before the rocket is blown to High Hell!

Here's a guy in Texas, publically intimidating anyone that doesn't agree with his red state gun rights! Just kidding, this is a paid assassin putting a bead on the lead Doll, Sabrina. No, but, that really happened in Texas...

Here's top billed, Syrian born Michael (IT'S ALIVE) Ansara as Eamon, head of a crime ring with an army, making a call to his inferiors to cause more trouble.

And, here's our pal Rafael (THE ASTRO-ZOMBIES) Campos as pill popping informant, Rafael! That way, no one would get his name wrong during shooting!

The Dolls show up and put Eamon's unprepared but sharply dressed army dudes to shame!

Here's that canister of milk, err... germs, that I mentioned earlier!

Eamon catches Sabrina, played by Francine (SPACE MONSTER) York, taking pictures in his house, so, threatens to deep six her! But, two minutes later, they're making up and out!

Sabrina knocks Eamon onto the floor and pours ice water on him, then electrocutes his ass!

The coup de grâce comes in the form of a gladiator sword through Eamon's bleeding heart!

Tura (FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL!) Satana shows up to help Sabrina put an end to all the madness!! Tune in Wednesday when Eegah!! will have something new for us!

THE NAKED KISS / Leon Fromkess-Sam Firks Productions - 1964

It's just another Friday with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. We gots a film by Sam Fuller, a pioneer of independent film making, it's pretty gritty and deals with a few taboo subjects. Sam has credits in 12 different film catagories, produced SHOCK CORRIDOR a year earlier and even had an acting credit in 1997, the year he died!

Kelly's a prostitute who knows how to get back at people who done her wrong! Here, she's worn a wig as a disguise to fool this fool, he ripped it off just before she cold-cocked him and then took the cash he owed her!

Eegah!! sent over a rough and tumble swingin' little soundclip for our enjoyment, sooooo, you can push that big red 'GO' button over there, NOW, Rufus The Gnat! Here's our audio offering for... THE NAKED KISS!

Dungeon fave Anthony Eisley plays police Captain Griff, we remember Ant from such flicks like ONIONHEAD, THE WASP WOMAN, 3 NUTS IN SEARCH OF A BOLT, THE NAVY vs THE NIGHT MONSTERS, JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF TIME, THE MIGHTY GORGA, THE MUMMY AND THE CURSE OF THE JACKALS, THE WITCHMAKER, DRACULA vs FRANKENSTEIN, THE DOLL SQUAD, MONSTER, DEEP SPACE and EVIL SPIRITS!

Griff checks out some new hot tail in town!

Kelly (Constance Towers) gets a job at the children's hospital and then gets engaged to local millionaire, J.L. Grant, played by Michael Dante. Everything seems to be going her way, but, there is such a thing as karma...

Kelly pays Candy back by cramming cash into her mouth, as heard in the soundclip.

This prop ('Charlie') she's leaning on gets a freakin' film credit!

Eventually, Grant is caught with the goods and has to explain to Kelly why he's attracted to young girls!

She doesn't really like his explanation... Oh, and, the wedding's off!

Griff gets the job of interrogating Kelly for Grant's murder, but she claims temporary insanity for her defense.

The only way for her to verify her story is to find the little girl from her prison cell and have her tell Griff the story!

FYI - 'Naked Kiss' is the kiss of a pervert!
