ZOMBIES (I Eat Your Skin) - Lon E. Norman - "Main Theme" (1964)

We prefer the title "Zombies" to the re-issue title of "I Eat Your Skin," because it seems much more appropriate and definately cooler sounding! "Zombies!" Lon E. Norman is given credit for the music on this Del Tenney masterpiece, and besides this film, Lon only did music for that other classic beach thriller "Sting Of Death" & "The Jackie Gleason TV Show." That's about it for him. Versatile, short, but sweet! The soundtrack from this movie is just crazy and wild enough that it might have just worn him out, and working with The Del, where perfection was always on demand, could never have been easy! This film has music unlike anything you have never or will ever hear again in the movies. Guaranteed!! "ZOMBIES"

MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE - Huddleston/Smith Jr. - "Drunk Kids-Dead Body" (1966)

Try and get away with this today kids, right? But way back in 1966, anything was still possible! What harmony! 
 
Parking & DrinkinWhile we're on the subject of turkeys and kid's parking, here is one of the most different things you will ever get a chance to hear in your life. Some people will go a whole lifetime without ever having a chance to experience anything like this music or this dialogue & voices. You might want to make yourself a drink before you listen to this, otherwise you might not get it either! 
 
She's quite attractive, no doubt, but then you also have this super weird scene where dumbass is trying to get this body manipulated into some kind of upright position. The pounding music will either give you a headache or a good idea of what's going on until you get a chance to get your own copy of what some people say is the worst monster movie ever made! 
 

THE EYE CREATURES - Baxter/Stein - "The Big Wheel" (1965)

When you start talking turkey, it's inevitable that names like Jerry Warren & Larry Buchanan will crop up every time, but in the parallel universe that is "Dwrayger Dungeon" these same names are the ones that continue to intrigue us for what seems like an eternity. "The Eye Creatures" is a perfect example, if there ever was one! It's a great movie & is highly recommended to any followers of anything! This movie basically has it all! You got Great music, offbeat comedy, John Ashley, and more! The whole movie is like one big cover tune, that not only parodies itself, and the original, but also whatever else may follow in the future! Uncredited music by the best, Les Baxter & Ronald Stein, what else could you possibly even ask for? Bubble-headed reject space monsters, 30 year old teenagers necking, & the most awesome ripoff/homage you're ever likely to come in contact with ever! You can buy or rent "The Eye Creatures" with "Zontar" as a double feature DVD, & we suggest that you do! What a bargain!
 
The Air Force perv on the left was the Martian dude in the strip bar in "Mars Needs Women!" 
 

Long before heavy metal we had some serious parking and heavy petting going on out there in the old day for night territory!!!

This waitress is just way too smokin' hot for these two loser guys to handle!

How Bout That?

THE HORROR OF PARTY BEACH - The Del-Aires - "Hank's Big Scene" (1964)

Are you ready for this? In 1964, the winner of The Academy Award for Best Film was "My Fair Lady" & believe it or don't, "The Horror Of Party Beach" wasn't even considered. If they both showed down at the local Bijou Theatre today, I'm willing to bet that "The Horror Of Party Beach" would have a bigger turnout, and I think that really says something about society in general! John Scott as Hank could have easily got the award for Best Actor for this scene alone compared to the tripe that Rex Harrison dishes out. That's Right! Okay, Audrey Hepburn is almost as hot as Alice Lyon's Elaine, but that's still an almost, and compare the music, no you can't, because there's No comparison! The Del-Aires Rock and Roll and the music from "My Fair Lady" will make you gag or worse and will suck for eternity! They should take it to court, and turn the award over to the real winner, Del Tenney!

DIE NACKTE UND DER SATAN (The Head) - Lasry/Mattes - "Lilly's Body" (1959)

This is about the last time you're going to see Lilly with her own head, and this is the one last tasty tidbit where body recipient Sister Irene & the unwilling donor's boyfriend meet for the first time back at the Tam--Tam Club. This is a very smooth musical section where you think you can really just lay back & relax, and then just about when you're ready to close your eyes, it comes in with a tight little guitar lead that winds up and slams into about 45 seconds of some of the purest music you're going to come across lately or at least in the last 48 years, and the only way you're going to be able to enjoy this as much as you are going to want to, is to go out & get a copy all of your own. In the meantime, here's.......Sister Lilly
 Just for kicks, here's a longer version with the rockin' part looped 3 times! Longer Version

INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN - Albert Glasser - "Lt. Richard 'Dick' Chasen" (1956)

Max Showalter (AKA Casey Adams) plays the part of Police Lt. Richard 'Dick' Chasen in the classic 1956 thriller, "Indestructible Man." Have a listen to this dialogue & see if you think for any reason it might have affected why he was rejected as Ward Cleaver in the "Leave It To Beaver" TV family comedy, even though he did play Ward in the pilot episode of the series. There is a great jazzy quacking horns soundtrack by the formidable Albert Glasser, unfortunately it's almost all totally 'really in the background' music, but you can still enjoy this little piece!

MARS NEEDS WOMEN - Ron Stein - "Strip Club/Lounge/Radio" (1967)

Bubbles Cash whole movie career began and ended in 1967. She did two other films that year besides "Mars Needs Women", "Hip Hot and 21" & "Hot Thrills and Warm Chills." Maybe it had something to do with the Tommy Kirk Midas touch. Directed by no budget specialist Larry Buchanan, with music once again by the unstoppable Ron Stein, this TV movie comes across as some kinda Disney Sci-Fi, except when the Martians decide they need a woman who is a stripper, the movie gets pretty darn sleazy for 1967 TV. Too cool strip club twin sax, hammerin' piano, & crazy slinky guitar music at it's best, topped off with some lounge vibes, a wild little pop song off the radio, & back to the strip club again to take care of that stripper. Have a nice trip!

Here's Bubbles!!!! In 1967 TV movies, strip bars are full of old ladies in the audience!

They almost blew it, ordering a martini in Texas, Stupid Martians!!

Hey, that Martian looks a lot like a guy I saw in the strip bar!! Who they trying to fool?
