Eegah!! sent over a fun lil' soundclip for our listening orifices, sooooo, you can go ahead and push the big red 'GO' button there exactly 157 degrees to the right of center stage left even, NOW, Rufus The Gnat!.. Here's our wild lil' audio offering of... A FACE IN THE FOG!

The story is basically another OLD DARK HOUSE variation that were so prevalent at the time. Anywho, the cast members of a show at the Alden Theatre are being terrorized by a hunchback killer known as the Fiend. Boo-Wah!!.. He uses his patiented frozen bullets to kill his victims.

Newspaper reporters Jean Monroe and Frank Gordon are on the job...

Accompanied by their wacky photographer, Elmer! Here he is, telling the same old stale 'fish that got away' story!

Here, the Fiend loads up his derringer with special frozen bullets. I had a toy derringer when I was a kid, probably because of YANCY DERRINGER on TV. Had a couple of spud guns too, wow!

We get to see some of the dance numbers at the show with lots of scantily clad performers!

This undercover cop that was posing as a chorus girl gets a dose of frozen death. Hey, that dude's touching his boob!

After a fight with the Fiend, Frank calls Elmer to give him the news, Elmer then faints...

Here's a pic of a note, and one of a pic! You'll have to watch the flick yourself if you want to know how they tie together, you can find it in the NIGHT SCREAMS 50 Movie Pack.

I just love that stuff tacked up on the wall in the background!

Heeeey, wait a minute... Those are frozen bullets, so, you must beeeee!.. (gasp) THE FREAKIN' FIEND!!

That's right, pal, and now yer gonna...

(offscreen) BANG!!

Frank thanks Gott im himmel that dumbass Elmer had enough sense to bring the cops to rescue him!

And, all is revealed at the end as the sun slowly sets in the east!

VACACIONES DE TERROR 2 -Tatiana - "Chicos Chicos Chicos" (1991)

Lost In Translation 02! There's four discs you can get from Netflix in the "Crypt Of Terror" series from Mexico, and it's tough to get any info on them, so I thought I'd take a chance! Tabonga warned me that it wasn't going to be what I expected, and he was 100% correctite!! I was hoping for some obscure flick from the 60's, because you know we don't like to veer off into the 80's, much less the 90's, but oh, well!! I got it, so I'm passing it on! Here's just a taste of the music from one of the films in part 01 of the collection, "Vacaciones De Terror 2" and a song performed by the fabulous Tatiana called "Chicos Chicos Chicos," or auf Englisch, "Boys Boys Boys"

"Chicos Chicos Chicos" was written by J.R. Flórez and Difelisatti, and we'll just assume that the sub-title translations are so terrible that the translator didn't even get paid! It's either that or these are the most abominable lyrics every put to paper! I'll leave it up to you, otherwise it's just another Weird Wednesday chapter in the book we like to call Monster Movie Music!

Tatiana Palacios was born December 12, 1968 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania because her Father was in the U.S. going to college, and because of that, she's a citizen of both the United States and Mexico!! She has sold more than 7 millon children's albums in Latin America, and is also the only singer in the world authorized by Disney to sing all their movies greatest hits!

These lyrics as translated are just straight out worse than bad or nonsensical at best, but they have inspired me to be a songwriter! Taken out of context, the words are more like free association Beat Poetry!

Are you getting into the W the MF groove yet?

This is an ultra clear example why I like instrumental music! No dumb-ass lyrics to be misinterpreted!!

Pretty bouncy, huh? Looks and sounds like something off a Saturday morning cartoon show, and you just expect the guy in the giant bee outfit to show up at any given moment!

I'm getting the feeling that Tatiana might not be too impressed with you run of the mill guys, because she's already got it all figured out what a bunch of losers you are!!

Can somebody explain why the super guys are surprised by the Sunday crisis? Is it all about having to make the choice between watching NFL football on TV and going to church?

Tiempo para la carne y las papas y un puto feo monstruo! Es Todo!!!

GAMERA vs GAOS / Toei Company - 1967

It's another Monster Monday with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. What we gots is Gamera's third screen appearance. Gaos is my favorite Gamera bad guy monster opponent, just love the cut of his jib, I still have a battery powered plastic model of him! The weird little story of Gaos goes like this... Gaos, a mysterious bat-like creature, is awakened by a violent underwater volcanic eruption in Japan. As usual, a young boy establishes an emotional link with Gamera, and, with the help of the world's top scientists, they try to put an end to Gaos' deadly rampage.

Eegah!! sent over a terrific lil' soundclip for everbloody's listening pleasure, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button there next to the atomic cot, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula! Here are some very cool sounds from... GAMERA vs GAOS!

After an earthquake hits, strange things begin happening near a remote jungle village, like this sonic ray emitting from a mountain! It cuts this helicopter full of snooping govt. officials in half, killing them all!

The kid leads the way just before him and a curious rubbernecker stumble upon Gaos, who's already in a bad mood.

It's fire against sonic ray as Gamera makes the scene! I'll bet they could both use a mint!!

The kid has to be rescued from Gamera's shell, where the little knucklehead's been riding!!

The scientists try to explain things to the military and media with this 'visible Gaos' - - so they know what they're up against and all.

Love those old deluxe car radios!

The scientists come up with a plan to drug Gaos into submission, they use a giant spinning vaporizer to deliver the substance. Gaos digs the deuce out of it!!

He digs it so much, he starts drinking it!

He's as high as a kite just before he falls over flat on his face from the effects of the drug and being spun around! Ultimately, the plan does not work, though.

The kid wastes half his life doing crappy drawings of Gamera!

Gaos is full of fervent mischief, if it isn't one thing, it's another!

In keeping with the current Godzilla shenanigans, Gamera tosses a boulder into Gaos' big yap to shut him up!

Gamera, with Gaos piggybacked to him, flies up to the top of the volcano and tosses his finished foe into the scorching lava inferno! Great parting shot as Big G jets away into the sunset, only to be seen in his next adventure... GAMERA vs VIRAS!
