Raoul Kraushaar work on THE UNKNOWN TERROR (Already post here) and THE 30 FOOT BRIDE OF CANDY ROCK! But, best thing is conductor for INVADERS FROM MARS!! (Already post here) So, give big listen to... "You used to like it!"

 It below Tabonga dignity to try understand such stupid flick! Here kinda what going on... What you hear is record on record player. Where you get such record in 1957 is anybloody guess!! So, Arthur playing it for his sister who come to stay with him and girlfriend, or wife, because!.. "You use to like it, remember!" What kind gurl like that?!!.. Okay, now guess what? Sister either get out of loonie bin or just get back from dead, not sure, but anyhow, she try relaxing on couch to recuperate from ordeal! But, no... Arthur want play that music for her?!!.. That only tip of iceberg why Tabonga want kick this flick's scrawny ass...

THE CYCLOPS - Albert Glasser - "Theme & Mexican Cantina Music" (1957)

The theme from "The Cyclops" by Albert Glasser just sounds, you know, B.I.G!!! 

 

Lon looks like he's having a pretty good time! He loved doing those films with eatin' & drinkin' scenes!! I guess the Latin music, in the background, while sounding quite authentic, is also by Señor Alberto Glasser! 

 

Right about here is where the good times stop!! 

 

That's a really Big lizard Bert!! 

 

The Cyclops himself is classic, a lot of the other effects just weren't! 

 

Gloria Talbott had a real look to her, and here she's looking at what used to be her husband, and just starting to wonder why she even cares anymore! 

 

Another attempt for a touching moment that no one ever believes is going to change anything!! 

 

Last but not least, let's give some credit to Ralph D. Helfer for his 'snake fight supervision.'

DR. TERROR'S GALLERY OF HORRORS (Gallery Of Horror) - "The Ending Credits" (1967)

The other Dr. Terror movie that had the Biff Bailey Voodoo Jazz was so brilliant, you just knew any other Dr. Terror title would have something great in it!! Wrong!! Seems like "Dr. Terror's Gallery Of Horrors" is the biggest wannabe Hammer film ever, that makes it on absolutely no levels at all. It's filmed in Hollywood, the stories are terrible, the acting is worse and there's not even any credits for the music, but it does actually have one saving grace. The music from the closing credits is an inspired Zappaesque hodgepodge of sound that, well, while it's not worth sitting through the movie for, should be heard, so here you be, the very intelligent "Ending Credit Music" from one of the stupidest films I've ever seen! What a dichotomy!!!

John Carradine as the narrator is used once again for his name alone!!

The guy on the left looks a little like William Shatner, I guess that's a plus!

This guys pretty ugly and kind of creepy!!

This camera angle works really well when Freddie Francis uses it or in a "Doom" game, but it's overused to ill effect in this film!

Lon Chaney's talent is completely wasted, but it does look like he has three hands in this shot!!

This is exactly how I felt after watching this film too, so dazed and confused, even John Carradine couldn't bring me back to reality.

NIGHT OF THE BLOOD BEAST / AIP - 1958 / Music by Alexander Laszlo

ITS SUNDAY, SO, TIME FOR!..

Here's music that haunts you, then, beats you up! Alexander Laszlo did themes for NIGHT OF THE BLOOD BEAST, ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES and BEAST FROM HAUNTED CAVE, and, boy, they all sound very similiar! We've already archived those two other movies, so, check 'em out!.. But, for now!.. NIGHT BLOOD OF THE BEAST! (It really looks like that's what it says!)

The director of Blood Beast and Giant Leeches was a terrific guy that Rodan!, Eegah!! and Tabonga!! all knew, so, tonight's dedicated to Bernie! Did you know, Bernie's younger brother is the drummer for The Beach Boys!

Its lots of fun to watch Mike pull those levers, I mean, he pulls back on them like they're brakes on a downhill racer! Great acting!.. Okay, then, he crashes and dies!

Wow!.. WHAT DIGNITY!!!

I think making movies gave Edwin an excuse to light up whenever he felt like it! Interesting exhale pattern!

A good sci-fi movie is not complete without a scientist looking into a microscope!

But, cartoons?!!.. Oh, well, looks pretty weird, I guess, if you were a little kid!

Sometimes, old science pervs just gotta have a hot, young chick!.. "Hey, Mike's dead! C'mon!! Loosen up!"

There are some obvious similarities to THE THING, which, ain't a bad idea! I'm sure that's what Gene was going for at times, but, to spend only about 2 cents on the dollar?!!.. Sheesh!

This is Georgianna Carter, who, did one other picture, THE WILD RIDE in 1960. She happened to be Jack Nicholson's very first love interest!!

Whoa!.. Looks like they're X-Raying Georgianna!.. But, no, it's Mike after he wakes up and scares the crap outta the women!! Then, they discover this nest of babies inside him!! Little shrimpy sea horsies!.. Now, that actually was extra weird and shocking in 1958!!

Blood Beast decides to try a female this time!!

Boy, Mike needs to go on a diet!.. Oh, yeah, I forgot... He's pregnant!!

So, poor, misguided Blood Beast gets toasted at the end! In the '50s, the monster always lost!.. Sad!
