BIJO TO EKITAININGEN (The H-Man) - Martha Miyake - "So Deep Is My Love" (1958)

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, step right up, for it's our pleasure to present you, from the 1958 more than classic movie "Bijo to Ekitainingen" or "The H-Man" in English, "So Deep is my Love" as performed by the lovely Martha Miyake with some help from the same wailing saxes that were in the other club scene. This song is deep and it's a downright sin that in a modern society, music & movies like this aren't all part of common knowledge, because "Bijo to Ekitainingen" definately has one of the coolest soundtracks ever, and on top of all that, it's almost impossible to find a copy. Masaru Satô who did the rest of the music for this movie also was the composer for the music in, what else? "Godzilla Vs. The Sea Monster!" That sure puts him right there at the top of our list!

GOJIRA, EBIRA, MOSURA: NANKAI NO DAIKETTO (Godzilla Versus The Sea Monster) - Masaru Satô - "Ebira/Mosura Wrap" (1966)

Mostly just reprise music for both critters here, but it's just too good to get left behind! So here's the return music from
Mosura Island, with Pair Bambi once again doing the honors to Mothra.

And here's the return music for Ebira, "Look, the giant claw!!" Enjoy it for what it is! The guitar work is phenomenal, especially at the end!

This is still The favorite movie around here for 2007! Don't know what to say, it's just too good on multiple levels! Mandatory viewing for all!! "Okay, that's all!"

FURANKENSHUTAIN TAI CHITEI KAIJU BARAGON (Frankenstein Conquers The World) - Akira Ifukube - "Three Parties" (1965)

In "Frankenstein Conquers The World" the first little music scene involves Frankie watching an "American Bandstand" type show on TV and he's digging watching the kids dance, til some guy gets his face all up in the camera & screams!

F R E A K O U T !!!!!

The second happening party scene is taking place on this Party Boat,when Frank shows up from under the water, and he's a lot bigger now!

The third dance party scene is at some mountain chalet, the music is rockin' & the place gets trounced!!

Nick Says "P E A C E ! !"

IL MOSTRO DI VENEZIA (The Embalmer) - Marcello Gigante - "Main Theme" (1965)

"The Embalmer" is not an easy guy to like & his theme music will beat you into the ground like you were just in the worst traffic jam you've ever been in, or had a bad nightmare about in your life! It will wear you out, and we're pretty sure the Italian composer, Marcello Gigante, might have been under the influence of formaldehyde during the composition of this music. You be the judge!

IL BOIA SCARLATTO (The Bloody Pit Of Horror) - Gino Peguri - "A Bloody Mess Mash" (1965)

Well, here's another one only the truly depraved might be able to appreciate, but that's okay, however many of you are out there (Tom), this one's for you!!! We could give you ever minute of music & show you every still from "The Bloody Pit Of Horror," but you're still going to miss out unless you go and find a copy of this film for your very own. They'll probably be illegal someday anyway! Remember, "It's no fun being dead!" and that's right! Oh, Yeah, Great music beyond compare!
  Bloody Opus!
  "Ooooh!!!, The Crimson Executioner, I'm scared!" 
 
I am the Crimson Executioner, If I swing my upper torso around just enough, these chains will look really tough like real metal! Come and get your love, Ooh, Ooh! 
 
Pretty cool looking giant spider!!

You gotta give Mickey Hargitay giant kudos for doing a helluva good job of looking like the perfect Pomegranate Phantom! And just for kicks, here's a couple more neat scenes with some Bloody Cool Music!!!

MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE - Huddleston/Smith Jr. - "Opening Theme" (1966)

OK dogs, here you go, this is THE one! THE most subversive song you've ever heard since "The Words Get Stuck In My Throat," by Kipp Hamilton; the beyond description theme song from "Manos." Who is this muse, this goddess pushing vocal chords to an extreme never reached before or since? Come on over, let's give these cats some credit! 100% WTF!! As a matter of fact, this whole movie is 100% WTF. Musically possibly more disturbing than "Bucket Of Blood" if you can believe that. "I am Michael," you must get a copy of this movie!! Let's give Harold P. Warren some love here! He wrote, he produced, he directed & acted in "Manos." Try and make your own movie folks, you'll have a lot more respect for people like Harold & Jerry Warren! A truly amazing accomplishment even if it sucks!!! No matter what, the music is Great!!! 
 

TORMENTED - Albert GLasser - "Opening Theme" (1960)

Feeling Well? Maybe a little seasick? Maybe a little dizzy? Maybe it's acrophobia! Bert I. Gordon could have that affect on a person with his penchant for really big things normally, but somewhere in between "Earth Vs TheSpider" & "Village Of The Giants" he snuck in this sleeper, in which 'The Lighthouse' is the giant, yeah, and Vi's ghost is big at the end too, if you want to count that. Music by Albert Glasser who did the music for a lot of Bert's other movies, works his magic throughout, too bad it sounds like it's coming from a tin can.
 
No matter what, Vi still looks good!!!!

Monster Music

AAARRGGHHH!!!! Ya'll Come On Back Now, Y'Hear??
