ZIMMER 13 (Room 13) - Peter Thomas - "Door 13" (1964)

Okay, here's part two of this crazy romp through the wild world of Edgar Wallace and his writing! For obvious reasons, "Zimmer 13" should be our flagship title, and it's even better that it's significance in the film is nothing more than trivial, but what a score on the soundtrack!

The work of Peter Thomas here, is a no holds barred affair from top to bottom, and from start to bloody finish! This musical monsterpiece is a little over ten minutes long, and I didn't even use the music from the strip joint scenes, so pour yourself something, settle in and relax cause here it comes.........."Room 13"!!!

This very brief (and we're talking milliseconds) shot caused this movie to get an age '18' rating back in 1964!!

I don't know why, the gentlemen and the ladies in the audience go nuts and almost give her a standing ovation! Oh, to long for simpler times!!

Barely offstage, and it becomes very apparent that not everybody liked her act!!!

The band plays on no matter what, and if you just take a good look at these cats, your curiosity as to why and how this music could be so cool, will become ever so very clear!!

"Zimmer 13" actually does have a plot and these are the main two characters, Karin Dor as Denise and Joachim Fuchsberger as Johnny Gray! Where are they? In the "Highlow Club" of course!

Happy New Year! This is the door to "Room 13!" Midnight, one more night without sleepin', Watchin' till the mornin' comes creepin', Door 13, what's that secret you're keepin?

The inspector gets a little overzealous in his attempt to try and find out what is going on!!

This guy was supposed to take a spiked drink to this other guy, but they didn't tell him the drink was spiked, so he drank it himself. Through the eye of cinematographer Ernst W. Kalinke, you can see the ensuing results!!

The weirdness never stops, and that makes for a great film!!

Denise stumbles on this woman's corpse as she's running through the catacombs, but the real mystery is, why in the Hell is she dressed in that lurid polka dot outfit???

Denise finally has had enough, and that should be enough Edgar Wallace to hold you for a while too!! Go read a book or search out a movie, you will not be disappointed!!

DAS INDISCHE TUCH (The Indian Scarf) - Peter Thomas - "This Is All Nonsense, This Is All Edgar Wallace" (1963)

Although Edgar Wallace is known mostly as a mystery writer, he does play one very, very important part in the big picture of what we know as 'Monster' movies, just because of the fact that "King Kong" was his idea!! Edgar didn't actually write the script because he died while working on it! It just doesn't get much bigger than that! Edgar was a very popular writer and his books took an even bigger upsurge in the 60's, through a series of German films that went from 1959 to 1971! This series of films also helped elevate him to the position of writer with the most books made into movies award!

In 1963 Rialto Films released "Das Indische Tuch" or "The Indian Scarf" directed by the crazy amazing Alfred Vohrer!!

The music is composed by the phenomenal Peter Thomas, whose career spans at least 50 years of brilliance, and includes a number of these Edgar Wallace films! This stuff still stands original to this day!! I did some searching for you, and I couldn't find any Edgar Wallace on Netflix, but there are a number of titles available at Amazon, just in case you need a fix!

This very opulent room really bugs me!!! It's got a stuffed horse, and a giant bust!! What's up with that crap?

This is a very interesting pairing that reminded me a lot of some people you see in the news these days. A rather portly, well-dressed, white haired gentleman, and a younger, decent looking woman with her hair up, wearing horn-rimmed glasses, but it's 45 years ago!! Wow!!

Here is Klaus Kinski in the role of Peter Ross. Klaus had been in 3 or 4 other Edgar Wallace flicks before this, and his career was really getting rolling, but he was already probably getting kinda krazy!

Leave it to the Germans to come up with a whole new take on the 'spying eyes looking through the portait concept!!'

We're going for the big Edgar Wallace one, two punch, so be sure and check back in tomorrow night for the opus "Zimmer 13," or "Room 13." It's a Musical Mystery Monsterpiece way out and beyond compare!!!!

METEMPSYCO (Tomb Of Torture) - Armando Sciascia - "The Cheap Shot - Wow!!" (1963)

Well, it don't look like Armando Sciascia got his fair share in the composer's of notability category, but from what you will hear here, the man was a musical genius way before your Mom knew whether Steppenwolf was a novel or a rock band, or whether The Doors of perception were open or closed!!!!

So, just fire up whatever drives your inner soul, lay back and close your eyes, and try and figger out what the Hell was going on in Armando and Director Antonio Boccaci as William Grace's mind!

Trust me, it will take more than one listen! In the meantime, for the full treatment with vision, this great Italian film streams on Netflix!! Has Fun!!!!

Freakin' "METEMPSYCO"!!!!!!!!
