PIGS IS PIGS / Warner Bros. - 1937

It's time for some color, here's a great WB cartoon that fills the bill... The story's about Piggy, he's obsessed with food and that's all he can think about. That night, after being a pig at the dinner table, Piggy has a very interesting nightmare about food...

This cartoon was produced by Leon Schlesinger, the voice actors were Billy Bletcher as the Mad Scientist (with 463 acting credits, mostly voice over, his last credit was for the 1971 TV movie where he played Pappy Yokum), Bernice (all cartoon voice over) Hansen plays Piggy and Martha (THE BEATNIKS) Wentworth as Mama Pig.

Instead of playing with his siblings, Piggy likes to sit there, just thinking about his favorite subject... FOOD!!

He's the first one to the dinner table and tries to grab some fruit before the main course is served, but, Mama Pig smacks his hands with a big stick!

Piggy ties all the plates of spaghetti together, so, when he inhales his food, he gets it all. Mama Pig gives him an ear full for being such a little pig!

Well, it's time for beddy-by and someone turns on the bathroom light for a fast pit stop!

Piggy can't sleep because ha can't stop thinking about that delicious food! Then, he's suddenly at the door of a scientist who invites him in...

He asks Piggy if he wants to sit in the chair and enjoy some tasty food. He says yes, but, it's a trick and Piggy ends up strapped down in a very scientific looking seat instead!

Piggy drops down into the basement where the Mad Scientist works the special control system.

It seems like the scientist is going to help Piggy out with his obsession with food, the first thing up is a giant bowl of soup which feeds him with spinning spoons!

Twelve bananas is the second course, squeezed out of the peels and go right down his throat!

Then, it's time for ice cream, blasted into his mouth with much force!

Next up is spinning pies, which he eats three of... Oh, my tummy!!

The deed is done and Piggy looks like he's actually full for a change!

He's free to leave, so, he sloshes along but notices a tasty turkey leg, just sitting there!

And, Piggy goes... KA-BOOM!! He's had one bite too many!

Well, he wakes up only to realize that it was just a bad dream!... WHEW!! And, when Mama Pig calls the little piggies to breakfast, Piggy's there in half a second and starts shoveling the grub down his throat!.. Which proves, PIGS IS PIGS!! So, we're back tomorrow when Eegah!! will have something special for a Saturday!

MOMBIES - Sam Turich & Gab Cody (2009)

Here's a nice little 12 minute treat on a weird ass Wednesday for you that should give you something to think about until Friday! It was made in 2009, written, directed, and produced by Sam Turich and Gab Cody, shot in  Pittsburgh, Pa. and called.....
MOMBIES!

Is it just a cute little short story about two women cruising around and talking to each other while driving through a cemetery?
Lisa Ann Goldsmith is Becky!

.......Or is it actually a scathing societal statement about parenthood today?
Theo Allyn is Chloe!

The mombies are everywhere, seemingly innocent pushing around their strollers!

But wait a minute, what's really going on here?

Oh, No, the car won't start!!

The freaky horrifying mombies catch up to the two women who are scared almost to death!

They run for their lives! 

The creators of "Mombies" saw they had some cool places in their city where they could shoot, and took advantage of them, and that's what I call good film making!

Becky has fallen, and that might be the end of her because now she's in the clutches of the babies!

Chloe scrambles, and runs into town, but the mombies are literally everywhere!

Great shot of the Arsenal Bowling Alley!

Despite war and pestilence, overpopulation is the biggest problem the world faces today! We're never going to be able to make a dent in the economic and environmental woes of the world as long as the human race continues to mindlessly fornicate!

Yes, the ZOMBO Gallery is a real place, 

Becky escapes, only to find that.............

Chloe has now become just another mombie too! It's like her former life never even existed!

Chloe looks up only to reveal that, Yes, there truly is a God!

LOST IN SPACE: Unaired Pilot Episode / Irwin Allen Productions - 1965

Here's an interesting item to check out... The original pilot episode, which never aired on TV, did not feature either the Robot or Dr. Smith, and were added later by 20th Century Fox, Dr. Smith as an antagonist. And, much of this original footage was reused in the first four televised episodes! In this story, the Robinsons, Earth's first family of outer space, head out to colonize Alpha Centauri in their flying saucer, Gemini 12, but crash land on an uncharted planet where they deal with its challenges and dangers.

This was quite an elaborate production with lots of workers and action in the command center before the Robinson family and Dr. West head off into the old deep, dark void.

Like in THIS ISLAND EARTH, the Robinsons are sealed in large glass (or, plastic) tubes to manage their trip through space, computers are in charge of running the ship, instead of the Robot.

In deep space, meteors pummel the ship, causing the electrical system to short circuit as the crew are still in hibernation. Luckily, the computer finally deploys the fire extinguishers, saving the day for the gang!

Still on automatic guidance, the Gemini 12 crash lands on a planet. The crew members all survive but the ship will not function now...

John and Don go exploring the hills and discover some giant footprints! It isn't long before the cyclops monster that left the prints shows up and starts causing a few tons of problems!

Will has just fixed the radio telescope and asks mom to check it out. She looks around and sees the giant monster near the location where John and Don are working on a weather device.

The men are stuck in in a cave and the thing wants them bad. Will runs to help his dad and Don, and they all escape before being stomped by the mighty beast!!

The gang take the Chariot, their all-terrain, amphibious tracked vehicle, out and encounter the monster yet again. This time though, Don uses his laser blaster to put and end to the creature!

They drive past the dead monster and catch a glimpse of its big ugly puss!

Later, the crew hides in a cave during an electrical storm. Once inside they discover an ancient underground maze of corridors. Everyone gets separated and Will is looking for Penny.

Will finds Penny but they get locked in a room that has dead alien bodies inside!..

In their last adventure, they take the Chariot into an ocean, looking for a more tropical area on the planet... Locations were filmed at the amazing Trona Pinnacles, in Ridgecrest, California.

Anyway, they get caught in a whirlpool and Don is almost lost before they escape the vortex and finally make their way to solid ground again.

The gang find a tropical area and stop to have a ceremony to thank the lord for their safe arrival... Only thing is, there are two STAR TREK type aliens watching them, a set up for the next episode. So, tune in on Wednesday for another cool post, here, at The Dungeon!!
