CAPULINA CONTRA LOS MONSTRUOS / Panorama Films - 1974

It's time for some Capulina comedy that has the Frankenstein Monster, Dracula, Wolfman and the Mummy, Mexican style, with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. We've already reviewed movies starring Capulina many times before, so, use our search feature to see more of him!

Eegah!! sent over a suspensful little soundclip for our earjoyment, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button there under that pile of monstruos, NOW, Rufus The Gnat! Here's an earfull of... CAPULINA CONTRA LOS MONSTRUOS!

Capulina runs a newspaper and magazine shack, about every minute there's something weird going on! Looks like 1974 was the high water mark year for short skirts in Mexican cinema!

Capulina is a friend to kids, since their minds have about equal maturity/immaturity levels. They're out trick or treating on Halloween and what else, Capulina ends up in a cemetary chased by two midgets in masks!

Capulina met this mad scientist at the news shack and has been invited to visit there...

He ends up a guinea pig in an experiment, natcherly!

Then, left alone in the lab, Capulina 'mistakenly' lets the Monstruos out of their cells.

The Monstruos chase Capulina into the streets and into a bed and bath shop. He teaches them the thrill of a good pillow fight!

The Mummy breaks Capulina out of jail!

Frankie tows this car all by hisself!

The kids and Capulina's girlfriend also get caught up in the action!

The Monstruos end up the good guys by preventing a crime friom happening!!

SUSPENSE - Season 1, Episode 7 - "A Night At An Inn" (Apr 26, 1949)

Welcome to Weirdass Wednesday! Set the 'Wayback Machine' to 1949 and a weekly TV show that aired on Tuesdays called SUSPENSE!

I actually thought Auto-Lite only made spark plugs, but I guess back in the day, they were manufacturing everything from bumpers to hubcaps! No wonder they're still in business!

The announcer and host was Rex (Tom Corbett, Space Cadet) Marshall!

The set for this episode titled "A Night At An Inn" was a place called the "Ye Last Hope Inn!"

This episode is especially special because it featured none other than Dungeon hero Boris Karloff! You know, as a kid, I wanted to see everything that Boris was ever in, but since there was no IMDB back then, I had no idea what an undertaking it would be. Tonight's feature brings me one step closer to that goal!

This is essentially a stage play, and the other three members of the ensemble were Anthony (Kiss Of Death) Ross, Jack (Lights Out) Manning, and Barry (Revenge Of The Zombies) Macollum, a sleazy bunch for sure!

If it seems a little crude, just remember, back in 1949, only about one in every ten people in the United States had even ever seen a TV set, so getting stuff like this into people's homes was a high tech scientific miracle!

I just like this shot of Boris! What a guy!!

The guys were responsible for stealing a ruby from a statue in India, and have been worried about it ever since, then they start getting bumped off, one by one!

You know the olde adage, "Thou Shall Not Steal," and oh, yeah, "Payback Is A Bitch!"

As the leader of the gang, Boris is quite disgusted with the whole situation! SUSPENSE was on for 6 years from 1949 to 1954 and besides Boris featured other outstanding talents like Bela Lugosi, Basil Rathbone, and Paul Newman, and the whole first season streams on Netflix if you've got nothing better to do on a cold and dreary winter's night!

DRACULA'S DAUGHTER / Universal Studios - 1936

It's Vampire Monday with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. We gots a weird one starring Otto Kruger playing Jeffrey Garth and Gloria Holden as the mysterious Contessa Marya Zeleska from Transylvamia.

Eegah!! sent over a fun lil' soundclip from this flick, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button there next to the battery powered vampire cross, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula! Here's our audio offering for... DRACULA'S DAUGHTER!

Bloodless corpses are starting to appear in London once again after a brief hiatus!.. Well, better call on old Professor Von Helsing for some help.

The Contessa goes to the police station to explain the reason she's in London. The police sergeant is mesmerized by her presence.

Odd looking Irving Pichel plays her faithful companion and helper, Sandor.

The Contessa has come to London to seek the aid of psychiatrist Jeffrey Garth, she wishes to free herself from a mysterious evil influence she suffers from. At their first meeting, she manages to make Jeffrey's girlfriend, Janet, a bit jealous!

Sandor goes out and finds a suicidal woman on the wharf to take back to the Contessa for...

You figure it out!

Anyway, you get the picture, the woman ends up dazed in the hospital after their meeting.

Jeffrey's brought in to hypnotize the woman to find out what has happened to her, she tells about what the evil Contessa and Sandor are up to, they have kidnapped Janet and taken her to Transylvania!

Jeffrey takes the first train out of Clarksville and arrives at the village where the Contessa lives, you can see her castle at top right.

Jeffrey finally gets into the castle (after being shot at by Sandor with a crossbow!) and finds Janet in a trance, under the total control of the Contessa.

Sandor flinches and the Contessa gets an arrow in the gut... Game over, man!

We'll end with this nice title lobby card.

COUNT YORGA, VAMPIRE / Erica Productions Inc. - 1970

It's a Special Saturday Mix-Up with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. We gots a blood drenched movie starring Robert Quarry as the evil bloodsucker, Count Yorga. This story was originally conceived as a low-budget soft-core porno flick with the title, THE LOVES OF COUNT IORGA, VAMPIRE, but, at some stage the producers decided to make it into a straight horror feature. Apparently, no footage of the sex scenes survived.

Eegah!! sent over a suspenseful lil' soundclip with some creepy laffs at the end, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button there next to that long pointed stick, NOW, Rufus The Gnat! Here's our audio offering for... COUNT YORGA, VAMPIRE!

The Count arrives in LA on a speeding flatbed!!

There, he entertains a young group of hipsters interested in the mystic arts with a seance.

And, that's when one of the ladies becomes real sick with a mysterious illness and gets a weird blood transfusion to try and fix the problem!

The Count likes to play the piano or just sit and contemplate things in his fancy mansion. Dude's got the bucks!

Of course, the Count's got an uncanny sexual power over women!

The Count also has his unkept manical helper creeping around to take care of any physical problems that may arise.

A pointed stick and a cross seems to be the best defense against the vampire.

But, it's kinda hard to defend yourself against a pack of charging female vampires! My favorite dream, I think I was like 15, was when I got trapped in an old, very dark, 2 story house (my cousin's place in the country but different) and was persued by about ten teenage vampire girls in their long nightgowns! I remember hiding behind the couch, watching them look for me, it was wild 'n' weird!

One guy accomplishes a Hell of a lot with just that stupid pointed stick of his!

Unfortunately, the girl he just spent the last furious thirteen minutes trying to save from the Count turns on him!!
