DARK INTRUDER / Universal - 1965 / Music by Lalo Schifrin

Okay, here is hard to find 59 minute oddity from 1965 by producer Jack Laird who later produce NIGHT GALLERY. Star Leslie Nielsen and Mark Richman. Flick play mostly on TV but play at theater too. Was TV series pilot name THE BLACK CLOAK that nobloody pick up.

Music is great!! Lalo Schifrin have 196 composing credit and 49 soundtrack credit with title like MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, THE NUDE BOMB, WAYNE'S WORLD, ACE VENTURA, COOL HAND LUKE, NIGHT GALLERY, BENNY HILL, EARTH II, THE NEPTUNE FACTOR, ENTER THE DRAGON, MAGNUM FORCE, BRENDA STARR, THE AMITYVILLE HORROR, CAVEMAN and he still working!!

NOOOO, NOT AGAIN!!

Leslie Nielsen play Brett Kingsford, playboy professor of the occult!

So, Brett go around trying to figure out mystery when he get attack by intruder who wearing dark apparel. Hmmm!..

Oh, and he have big sharp claw!!

Leslie and Mark go to seance for answer but still all mix up. Seance dude really Intruder!

Intruder take over Mark' body so when Mark die, he change back into Intruder!.. Cool monster!!

DANCE OF DEATH (House Of Evil) - Enrico C. Cabiati - "Macabre Serenade " (1968)

The original premise of this site was to promote the love for the movies and the music, unfortunately this movie,"Dance Of Death" isn't going to allow that to happen, for you see this is just a 'bad' movie, not a good 'bad' movie, but an actual bad 'bad' movie! It's a real stinker, and what makes it even worse is that every horror maven's hero, Boris Karloff, is the star in one of his last outings!! Even the maestro Enrico C. Cabiati's music sucks; he who composed the scores for the likes of "Neutron Vs. The Death Robots" and "Acapulco A Go-Go" just to name two out of over a hundred, can't even come close to saving it!

Oh, Boy, this really looks real, doesn't it???

Two things, I don't like creepy stupid looking dolls, and ponderous organ music is really starting to wear me down, even when it's Boris Karloff, and this movie has an abundance of both!!!

Here's the trick, in these two scenes, the actors weren't acting, but instead were reacting to Jack Hill's direction!!

Oh, that's right, now I remember, there were two good things about this film!

Other than that just burn the place, that's exactly what it deserves!!

It's no wonder they waited like 10 years before actually ever releasing it!!! This film might appeal to you if you're near comatose or on your deathbed, if not, then rent something a little more uplifting like one of the many Dr. Mabuse films!!!

THE MYSTERIANS / Toho Studios - 1959 / Music by Akira Ifukube

Well, two weeks ago I posted RODAN, so, what the heck, tonight I'll post the next awesome Toho movie... THE MYSTERIANS!! And, check out this great French poster!

The original title is Chikyû Bôeigun and was released in Japan in 1957.

And, again, Mr. Akira Ifukube does a fantastic job with the music, and, you know something big and weird is coming your way by the sound of it!!.. Here's tonight's offering... THE MYSTERIOUS MYSTERIANS! Oh, and... HEY!!

SOUNDCLIP NOT AVAILABLE

Everyone was having a pretty bitchin' time at the celebration...

Until something 'not right' seemed to be going on over yonder!

So, the 'alarm' is sounded and everyone goes to the shoreline to get a good look at the ominous scene! Then... BOOM!!

Soon thereafter, this crazy looking giant robot shows up and starts pummelling anything that gets in it's way!

The robot shoots out electric rays that toasts civilians, towns and the armies trying to defend against the metal monster.

Finally, the Earth receives a message from space, aliens called 'The Mysterians' are here to breed with Earth women in order to save their dwindling civilization! Earth can go along peacefully, OR!..

Army tanks keep an eye on the Mysterians while they install their underground base of operations.

Leaders from Earth are invited to converse with aliens about a peaceful surrender. But, Earth has only one choice. They have to come up with a way to...

Destroy The Mysterians!!

TEEN-AGE STRANGLER - Dean/Davis/Smith - "Yipe Stripes" and more (1964)

Kids and cheap movies always end up with bad reps, but I want to tell you out front, Teen-Age Strangler" is not a bad movie, and unlike anything on TV and 99.7% of all movies made today, it didn't put me to sleep, and that's because just like last night's feature, this movie rocks!!! Hence, the perfect double bill!!

You girls should be careful hanging around here at night, let me walk you home!!

Then of course, you got your local tough guys!!!

You guys get out of here and don't come back!!!

This is what the world is missing today, spontaneous local entertainment! Stacey Smith breaks into a rousing version of "Yipe Stripes"!!

All the kids in the joint go nuts, they are so in awe of her thrill-a-second performance!! Check out the moves on that guy dancing!!

Crazy stupid kids!! Don't they know there is a homicidal maniac going around strangling young girls???

This kind of scene almost always leads to trouble, and this is no exception!

You can't keep a love as strong as Jimmy and Betty's apart and at home, even though Jimmy's been in a lot of the wrong places at the wrong time with no excuses or alibis lately!!

Stacey sings the much les memorable "Willows Wept" as the kids exit the cafe. It won't take you long to figure out why nobody's in much of a hurry to unearth this stinker!! Both songs were written by Clark Davis!! The rest of the ultra cool hot-rod music soundtrack was composed by Danny Dean, in his solo outing!!!

GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, at least they had enough money for colour film, and the use of these two beautiful T-Birds, one blue and one red, how perfect is that??

Double featured with "Teenage Gang Debs," this is without a doubt the sweetest deal of the century!!! Got it??? Get it!!!!
