BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRES / AM Productions, Hemisphere Entertainment - 1966

Here's a title we missed from 1966, part of the 'Blood' or 'Blood Island' series from the gang in the Philippines. The story's about siblings that discover that their father has their vampire mother locked up in the cellar. After the mother bites her son, everyone in the community is either dead or turned into a vampire. Not to be confused with Hammer's BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRE from 1958 with Donald Wolfit.

Here's that odd Independent International logo that starts the show. Ray Dennis Steckler and Al Adamson were also producers under the II banner.

I have an ass kicking sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our other bloody DVDs, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula!.. Here's a little sample from... BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRES!

I cut the theme in half to spare you some pain, it sounds like Albert Glasser on steroids!

An example of the wild artwork shown at the end of the titles that was a staple of the series.

No one can tell you who to love or what to wear, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Here's a portrait of the vampire mom that haunts the place, but, what's happened to her?

Dude!!.. You're ruining my shot, freakin' camera hog!..

Dad shows the son where he has mom hidden, in the basement, in a coffin, in the dark.

Looks like he's in a special bed jail... Or, maybe it's meant to keep out the pigs.

Nothing more appealing to an old hag vampire B than a tender... sweet... tasty... NECK!!

Vampire boy now has a problem with a pissed off ghost that harasses the Hell out of him!

The holy spirit steps in to even the score, looks like.. Game over, man!

Welp, it's a hot time in the old burning house tonight!.. We'll be back on Wednesday with something that we have no idea what it is at this time.

OUT OF SIGHT - "It's Way Out!" (1966)

It's time for another special Saturday night, and tonight's segment of rock and roll in the movies is literally "Out Of Sight!"

If you wonder what it's all about, a good reference point for "Out Of Sight" would without a doubt be "Catalina Caper!

"Out Of Sight" is a movie about hot chicks and cool music, and that pretty much sums up the whole thing! These two are the good girls Sandra and Marvin!

And these three are the bad girls, Scuba, Wipeout, and Tuff Bod!

Oh, Yeah, and idiotic idiots, lots of them! In fact these jokers are so dumb, one of them is even called Huh!

You probably saw that beach ball there, so you probably figured out that "Out Of Sight" is a beach party/surf movie!

Girls in bikinis and hot rods, that's what rocked in 1966!!

A guy named Huh! and a chick named Marvin, and they both have a unique sense of fashion attire!

The amazing George Barris was responsible for the custom car design of the ZZR hot rod!
Dammit! George just passed away in November of 2015! The gal who played Marvin, Carole Shelyne, also left the planet in June of last year!

"Out Of Sight" is basically just another presentation of 1960's rock and roll with bands like Gary Lewis and the Playboys performing songs like "Malibu Run," wrapped around a very stupid story! Thank God for the music, or it would be almost unwatchable!

Talk about musical diversity, The Knickerbockers hailed from New Jersey, not California, and instead of doing their hit song, "Liar, Liar," they perform a cover of the Tom Jones hit from a year earlier, "It's Not Unusual!"

The Astronauts were mostly a instrumental surf band, but here for some reason, they perform a vocal cover of "Baby Please Don't Go," the Big Joe Williams tune that was a decent hit for Van Morrison and Them in 1964!! Weirdsville!

The Turtles were already an established band at this point, but their biggest hits like "Happy Together" were yet to come! It's weird to watch Howard Kaylan perform the whole song "She'll Come Back" sitting down!

For even more diversity, they brought in the popular Brit band, Freddie and the Dreamers to perform two songs, "Funny Over You" and "A Love Like You!"

And finally, we get a full Shindig like performance from the "In Crowd" man himself, Mr. Dobie Gray, who performs the theme song, "Out Of Sight (Out On The Floor)!"

I'd like to give you the whole soundtrack to "Out Of Sight," but since that's not legally possible, I'll just leave you with these two shots of the torture machine that repeats this song over and over that kind of reminds me of  "The Gong Show" theme! It was designed to drive rockin' kids mad, and it just might work! "Out Of Sight" is a classic piece of 1960's schlock that's not great, but is interesting and fun from a historical standpoint! If you'd like to find out for yourself, then you're lucky enough these days that you can find a copy over at The Trash Palace!
Tell 'em Eegah!! sent you!

BLOODSUCKERS FROM OUTER SPACE / One Of Those Productions - 1984

In the quest to include in our Dungeon Cyclopedia as many wild 'n' weird movies as we possibly can, well, there are times when we just have to take a hard kick to the nuts in order to move things along. That's the case with today's WTF!! piece-o-crap. I dare any of you out there to watch it, a cruel punishment. There's a big difference between comedy and parody, THE THREE STOOGES is comedy, this is definitely not comedy even though it's billed as such... It's soooo bad, it's STUPID BAD! Check out some of the moronic dialogue in the sound clip to verify.

The scream you hear at the beginning of the sound clip is how you'll feel after you watch it!

The teaser has our big farmer out working in the yard when a weird loud noise from nowhere surrounds him and he turns into the first victim, a freakin' bloodsucker from outer space?

I have a sound clip from this thing for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our crap movie shelf, NOW, Rufus The Gnat!.. Here's... BLOODSUCKERS FROM OUTER SPACE!

I think this weird dude is Uncle Joe (I paid no attention while watching) and you can hear him in the sound clip tell y'all whut he lurnt by watching Fox News!

The military joins the local medical team to try and solve the bloodsucker problem. Funny? NO!

Our curious hero and his girlfriend visit the farm to try and get some answers about those pesky bloodsuckers. They get no answers from the busy farmer, so, go into the house to see the wife. Nice place, comes with a tom turkey!

Hey, nice paint job too!.. Who's your decorator, Dracula?! Love that bottom photo, looks like a postcard from Hell....

Not sure what's going on here besides a fight, but, looks pretty interesting.

Our hero grabs a chain saw and lops off the farmer's forearm, then, splits with his girlfriend.

I really like this shot, a bloodsucker piloting that classic Chevy dump truck looks cool.

This weird looking guy shows up sometime during the movie to confuse things!

The most interesting thing about this flick is the fact that they scored Pat Paulsen to play a cameo role as the horny American president. We love Pat!.. Eegah!! is up tomorrow with our last post for January...
