NOT OF THIS EARTH / Miracle Pictures - 1988

Here's Roger Corman's remake of his 1957 classic, this time though, with pretty crappy results. Lookit, the movies in the eighties were whackoroonie, especially the low budget productions that stalked that decade...

It all starts with our nemesis Mr. Johnson sucking the blood out of a victim so that he can live!

I have a sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our Traci Lords' standee, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula!.. Here's a little sample from... NOT OF THIS EARTH!

Get this!.. The credits roll over clips and fragments of gory killings and slimy monsters from Roger's previous productions like GALAXY OF TERROR, FORBIDDEN WORLD, HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP and even BATTLE BEYOND THE SUN!

Here are Traci Lords as nurse Nadine Story and Arthur Roberts as our space visitor, Mr. Johnson. His blood is goofy and his condition requires blood transfusions.

Mr. Johnson admires his freezer full of bottles of blood while his helper Jeremy checks out the spaceman's special metal case with the blood transfusion unit inside. Notice the same painting in both shots!

Here's the leader of the planet Mr. Johnson comes from, it's none other than freakin' Leon Russell. Now we know what happened to him!

Nadine is staying at Mr. Johnson's place and has to put up with Jeremy's sneaking and peeking!

Mr. Johnson adds some special vitamins to his Bloody Mary and it gets an A-Bomb head!

Here's the vacuum cleaner salesman originally played by Dungeon Hero Dick Miller. He learns the hard way that this sale is final!

These oversexed hookers want to party at Mr. Johnson's house but they all end up getting their asses fried after they strip for the space vampire!

Then, a female vampire comes to Earth to help Johnson, but, she gets a transfusion of rabid dog blood and goes berserk. These sleazy eighties punks then get torn apart after they attack her! One guy gets kicked in the nuts big time, very satisfying!

Well, during the climax, Nadine's boy friend, a cop, chases Mr. Johnson on his bike. When he turns on the siren, the vampire freaks out and drives off an overpass, saving Nadine at the last second. Hey, that's the same Caddy they used in the 1957 version!

Mr. Johnson gets a nice headstone for all his effort... All I want to know now is.. What the Hell will Eegah!! have for us on Wednesday!

FATHOM - Raquel Welch (1967)

 Hello, and welcome to another Saturday Night Special from down in The Dungeon!

Tonight's flick is called "Fathom," and is not much more than an effort to showcase the beautiful Raquel Welch, not necessarily her acting talents, but just her!

 In this dynamic film, Racquel is Fathom Harvill, the queen of parachuting!

 There's a big parachuting contest going on, and the crowd is really enjoying the show! (And a beer or two too!!)

This is Lake Victoria Cerveza, also known as Hojo Orinal Grande, a major tourist attraction!

If you want to see Raquel Welch, then watch "Fathom," but if you want to see a grittier movie about sport parachuting, then "The Sky Divers" from 1963 might be a better choice!

1960's goddess Raquel Welch was born on September 5th, 1940! Other famous people born on the same day are Freddie Mercury and Rose McGowan; as a matter of fact, if you crossed Rose and Freddie, you might get somebody who looked a lot like Raquel!

 "Fathom" is really a seriously stupid movie!

And most of the characters except for Fathom, are seriously annoying!

 This is what all the hubbub is about, the extremely elusive fire dragon!

 Here's a good look at the treacherously dangerous dual knife pocket watch!

Here's another really nice shot of Raquel, this time in stripes!

I love the variations on the selling points of some of these international posters!

FENG SHUI!! 

 "Fathom" is a fustercluck of greedy characters, the perceived good guys are the bad guys, and some of the the bad guys are good, but in the end, none of it matters much!

Fans of Raquel Welch, or anybody else who would like to see more of her will love "Fathom," but if you aren't one of those, and you don't think this photo is hot, then you might want to find another movie to watch!

THE SECRETS OF ISIS / The Lights of Mystery Mountain - 1975

Time for a change of pace, here's episode 1 from season 1 from this Filmation TV series. Our heroes try and solve a mystery after Cindy comes back from a trip to Mystery Mountain with photographs of UFOs, so, Andrea and Rick return with her to investigate.

I have a sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our fake UFO, NOW, Rufus The Gnat!.. Here's... THE SECRETS OF ISIS!

This is one of the photos Cindy shows the gang. Could it be true, for really UFOs from space?!!

Our gang, Andrea, Rick and photography nut, Cindy, searching the sky for more proof.

Pretty JoAnna Cameron is teacher, Andrea Thomas, aka, Isis. She worked as an actor, producer and director from 1969-80 and also appeared as Isis in the Filmation SHAZAM! series from the same year.

Well, what do you know?!.. For really UFOs!!..

Here's the sleazy bastard behind the mystery, the local unscrupulous real estate developer. He's trying to scare away other developers in the area with his special device.

It's time for Andrea to change into the mighty Isis and wrap this mystery up...

No matter what you do, you cannot elude the power and secrets of Isis... So, give up, sucker!

As a bonus, I threw in these two excellent shots for fun. You can see her cute little shorts as she heads down an embankment, a treat in any language!

Here's Isis appearing in this DC comic series, targeting TV viewers.

And, if that isn't enough for you, you can also pick up one of these 1970s action figures for $100 or more... Check in tomorrow when Eegah!! will be here to wrap up the week!
