HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP / New World Pictures - 1980

It's Freakin' Friday the 13th with Tabonga here at The Dungeon, so, bring in the monsters! Here's Corman's New World production about mutant sea creatures out to mate with female humans and stars Doug (THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT) McClure, Ann (DEEP SPACE) Turkel and Vic (DIRTY MARY CRAZY LARRY) Morrow. Here's some interesting trivia... As the film was being finished up, Roger Corman felt that the picture needed more sex and ordered more scenes shot that showed the Humanoids attacking and ripping the clothes off of nubile young women. The director, Barbara Peeters, refused to shoot the scenes, protesting that they were inserted purely to show gratuitous nudity, so, Corman fired her and hired another director to shoot the additional footage!

Here's a sound clip from this flick for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button over by our Humanoid on the couch, NOW, Rufus The Gnat!.. Here's a little taste of... HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP!

Okay, so, who runs around the house like this except in an eighties monster flick?!

Here's Vic Morrow punching a fellow fisherman helped by his pals over fishing locations.

As heard in the sound clip, this gal is looking for her boyfriend, Gary! Then, he suddenly pops up from the deep with part of his face missing!

As also heard in the sound clip, these horny knot heads and their willing guest have an encounter with an even hornier Humanoid from the deep!

The stuntmen hired to play the monsters quit because they thought the suits looked stupid, so, Roger hired some amateurs to play the things.

Here we are at the Noyo Salmon Festival, we ain't afraid of no old Humanoids from the deep!

Okay, okay!.. Looks like we didn't really think this whole thing out real well!.. Doh!!

I just threw this shot in for its surrealistic quality!

Back to the fun! This beauty queen is attacked and de-topped by a Humanoid (there were only three monster suits) and she grabs a 2x4 and beats it over the head with it!

ALIEN was released a year earlier and probably had an influence on this scene where the girl looking for her boyfriend has become impregnated by a Humanoid from the deep! We are back tomorrow with another wild 'n' weird offering...

AGENTE 3S3: PASSAPORTO PER l'INFERNO - Piero Umiliani - "Agent 3S3: Passport To Hell" (1965)

Time for some more mid-week madness, and another one of those 60's Italian secret agent movies you all love so much! Welcome to another installment of What Else Are You Doing Anyway Wednesday, down in The Dungeon!

Some secrets should remain secret, and that's just what we got going on here!

Kill a woman in a trenchcoat to retrieve this microfilm!

That Agent 3S3 is one Helluva tough guy!

 A Small strip of litmus paper keeps him from drinking any poison beverages!

On the Beach!!

Dead Guy!! Mr. C I believe!

The music in this thrillfest is by one of the kings of spy and secret agent movies, Mr. "Mah Nà Mah Nà" himself, Piero Umiliani, and the title song "Let Me Free" is sung by Edith Peters, an actress who wasn't really known as a singer, and who is also, interestingly enough, not in this movie!

 Make it into a drinking game! Get this movie from Cult Action, and every time there's a closeup, you have to take a drink! With beer, you'll probably make it to the end of the movie, with tequila, probably not!

 Phone's ringing, but I don't wanna get up!!

 Ear piece monitoring device way ahead of it's time!

 Stinky dead guy Mr. A. has been dead for a year!

Sneaky cameras monitor everything!  Lots of people being watched by the people that are watching those who are also being watched by the other watchers!

 Broach with a broadcast signal gets lonely ride in the back seat of a car!

 Leg up leg show!

 

Tricky makeup case shoots dangerous poison darts into the jugular vein of it's victim!

Suddenly it's a 1950's sitcom!

 I will shoot your ass, and you will be dead, and the world will be a safe place to live once again!

This is The End, my friends!

THE CREATURE WALKS AMONG US / Universal International Pictures - 1956

It's about time we review this final entry to the Creature trilogy after recently scoring the Legacy collection. This time, the Creature's captured by a crew of adventurers and turned into an air-breathing monster by a rich scientist in the lab.

Here's a fun little sound clip from this classic fifties flick, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our Aroura Creature model, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula!.. Here's... THE CREATURE WALKS AMONG US!

Here are Rex Reason, Jeff Morrow and Gregg Palmer in the control room learning about the new sonar technology that will help them locate the Creature under water. Rex and Jeff are paired up again after they appeared together in THIS ISLAND EARTH. Gregg was in THE ZOMBIES OF MORA TAU and FROM HELL IT CAME. Rex was married to Dungeon Goddess Sanita Pelkey, but unfortunately they divorced after just a year.

Jeff plays rich scientist Dr. Barton, he's learning about what they will be dealing with in case they come across the huge monster. Actually, the Creature doesn't ever appear to be that much larger than a human in person.

The crew arrives in the Florida Everglades (where the Creature ended up at the end of REVENGE OF THE CREATURE) to start their search for the thing.

Do you check me?..

Hit the musical cue, Ralphie!

A fisherman will tell you that night fishing is fly, but, Gill-Man is another kettle of fish!

From bad to worse!..

Is this a great shot or whut?!

The guys discover that under the scales is a man. Not particularly attractive, but, a man!

And, the doc ends up treating him like a dog!

Jealously plays a big part in the story, for revenge, the doc tries to make it look like Creach killed his wife's lover but the plan backfires and the big guy escapes from his cage.

Oops, sorry!! I was looking for the doc.

There you are, you dirty SOB! It's time to meet your maker and pay for your twisted ways!

The Creature is drawn to the ocean and we don't know what his fate will be, so, goodbye big guy, we'll miss you!.. Be back on Wednesday for another Dose of Dungeon Doom!
