As original title say, take place on some island somewhere, this time... Turkey! Do anybloody spreak Engrish aroun' here? Originally in color, we gots the B+W version here at the Dungeon.

Phillip Lambro responsible for music in today's 'eariffic earclip' for listening pleasure. Phillip has only total of five composer credit including GIT!, BLOOD VOYAGE and MURPH THE SURF!

So, on wif' da show, hey hey hey!... Today, pet tarantula Ralphie' turn to be pushing big red 'GO' button. Okay, he reaching over... he just touching button, and now... CRYPT OF THE LIVING DEAD!

John Holmes have to go to island to find out why his dad get crushed to death during recent excavation, John also is archeologist.

John go down in cellar to see what he can dig up.

Not bad, he uncover 7,000 year old Vampire Queen Hannah! She look damn good for her age!!

John bring up question of threesome...

Mark and Patty think about it.

Tabonga throw this pic in to remind everbloody that flick taking place on some island! Nothin' better than pic-a-nic bas-kit, found stick cane and nice freezing walk on beach, right?

Queen Hannah so old and tired, she have to use her werewolf pal to take care of nosy intruders. Poster show gurl werewolf! That dude no gurl!!

Hey, don't get too close, she gots really bad breath!!

What you know, cross even work on 7,000 year old vampire?!

Villagers eventually catch up with Queen and set her on fire!

Mmmmm, caramel vampire skull on a stick!

Ah crap, here we go again!!.. Wowzers, that's some fancy schmancy baby tooth fangs she gots goin' on there!

This time, sell it as a horror-comedy, exploitation at its finest!!

IMPULSE - Lewis Perles - "Want A Ride Little Girl?" (1974)

I'm feeling kind of impulsive on this fine Friday night, so here it is, a film I'm not really too sure anybody wants you to know about except maybe Professor Grewbeard and us! So, break out the "Cabrito" cause it's Huckleberry Cadillacs tonight!! And away we go.........

"IMPULSE"

Starring.....Like you've never seen him before, Captain Kirk, aka The Shatman himself as Matt Stone!! Bim, Bam, Boom, Shit, Shat, Shot!

Gigolo Matt Stone's money train is about ready to make it's last stop in Oldtown and get derailed once and forever! He got caught swapping spit with Paula Dimitrouleas the belly dancer!

"I'm not about to waste my time on some cheap, over the hill broad!"

And indeed he's not!!

Chillin' with Bill, and does it make a difference that he's a ruthless sadistic murderer this time out? Probably not, if you're a fan!! Besides, her name wasn't Ruth anyway!!

The prefect single parent family is about to be disrupted for the last time! Jennifer Bishop as the mother in curlers Ann Moy, and Kim Nicholas aka Kim as the blonde and creepy little girl Tina Moy! Jennifer Bishop has been in a fine array of good/bad flicks like "Blood Of Dracula's Castle" and "Horror Of The Blood Monsters" and Kim Nicholas played The Donkey Girl in "Santa And The Ice Cream Bunny" and rounded out her career in films like "Salty" and "Limbo!" Looks like that's exactly where her career ended up!

The title "Impulse" has been used at least 10 different times starting in 1913 and right on up to 2010!!!

William Shatner's wife of 21 years, Marcy Lafferty, turns in an awesome performance as the hotel clerk!! Bill is ringin' her buzzer, if you know what I mean!!

Amazingly, the quite rightly and brilliant music was composed by assistant producer Lewis Perles in his solo musical outing!

You might have noticed that in almost every scene, William Shatner has on a different extremely garish outfit, and I'd guess the blame for that goes out to costume designer Nancy Selby in her lone film credit! I'm surprised they didn't burn her at the stake! Ruth Roman as Julia Marstow really digs that swell tie!!

How in the Hell could I ever not use a picture like this?

Right on Pimp Daddy William! How bad do you have to be to look good in an outfit like that?

It never quits! It just gets more disturbing!!

"I don't know what's the matter with Tina. Maybe she's sick. She doesn't have a fever. She seems afraid of something. Oh, Yeah?"

One of the best sick movies I've ever seen, right up there with Arch Hall's "The Sadist!" Once again, Thank Professor Grewbeard that you ever got to know about it! I'm just the medium!!

THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI / Germany - 1920

"YOU MUST BECOME CALIGARI!"

That's right, and, back then, that tagline probably scared a lot of patrons, plus, this silent classic was made directly after WWI!
