OUTER LIMITS VS. MAGNIFIED MONSTERS - A War of Worlds!

So here's a Weird Wednesday question for you, what do you think would be scarier, monsters from the 1960's TV show "Outer Limits," or the Inner Limits creatures in the real world magnified? In my humble opinion, Mother Nature has the better imagination of the two if you've got a powerful enough microscope!

The one on the left is The Venusian from "Cold Hands, Warm Heart," and on the right is a Springtail. I think they look like they would make a splendid couple!

This is the Megasoid from "The Duplicate Man," as compared to a magnified Maggot on the right, does art imitate life, or does life imitate art?  You tell me!

You will never convince me that the Alien from "Demon With A The Glass Hand" and this microbe aren't cousins!

This little microbe has a question for the Alien from "Children Of Spider County."
"Are you my Daddy?"

The Micro-beast from "The Probe" kind of pales in comparison to the cyclopian Tardigrade also known as a Water Bear on the right.

The Monster from "Don't Open Till Doomsday" and this little fat microbe are both goofy looking!

The Alien from "Nightmare" is a spitting image to whatever the Hell that microbe is!

From the first Episode of "Outer Limits," here's "The Galaxy Being" and his microbe equivalent!

I don't think I'd want to tangle with the Lake Monster from "Tourist Attraction" or his microbe buddy!

Both the Alien from "Architects Of Fear" and this Silkworm look they could use a trip to the Optometrist!

It looks like either this Subterranean Shark from "The Invisible Enemy" or this microbe could rip your face off!

I'm thinking that on the planet where the "Keeper Of The Purple Twilight" aliens come from, all the insects look like humans!

I'd like to see a match between this "Fun And Games" Arena Monster and this microbe. I'm betting on the microbe, and he doesn't even have a weapon!

Well, that was fun, but way too much work. So, last but not least for now is the Alien-looking human from "The Sixth Finger," and just one of many of his microbe pals!

The FIFTIES SCI-FI MOVIES Of PETER GRAVES

Here are the fifties sci-fi movies of Peter Graves, even though there are only four of them, they are all classic flicks from that era. Peter had 136 acting credits and looking them over, I noticed that in 1998 he did the voice of General Warning on THE ANGRY BEAVERS, he was the narrator on the USAF Briefing Film for ATTACK OF THE EYE CREATURES, he also directed one episode of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE and one episode of GUNSMOKE!

First up is RED PLANET MARS from 1952, Peter plays an American scientist who contacts Mars by radio and receives information that Mars is a utopia and that Earth's people can be saved if they return to the worship of God!.. Weird.

In 1954, Peter stars as Dr. Doug Martin in KILLERS FROM SPACE. I still love this crazy movie, it has all the elements that make for a fun watch, time after time! They just released a restored version of this movie on DVD that is simply awesome!

My favorite flick of the four is Corman's IT CONQUERED THE WORLD from 1956 with that classic Blaisdell monster from Venus. Love the little flying parasites too, creepy cool. It also stars Beverly (NOT OF THIS EARTH) Garland, Lee (SPACE PATROL) Van Cleef and Sally (WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST) Fraser.

I saw BEGINNING OF THE END in 1957, Peter is another scientist in this wild tale, he gets caught in the terror and takes the lead in figuring out how to kill the giant locust... So, there you go, we will be back on Wednesday with even more prescious Dungeon Cargo!

NIGHT SHADOW - "Murder, Mutilation, Werewolf, Explosion" (1989)

Tonight's Saturday Night Special is special, but I wouldn't exactly call it good, but then it's also not the worst movie I've ever seen either.

"Night Shadow" is one of those movies that I give the creators credit just because they did it. Sometimes, that isn't quite enough, but at least it looks like they tried!

That's a lot of traffic on a 1989 Highway 99!

Linda Vance is a journalist headed home for a break, She must have been making a lot of money to have a fancy car phone like that! Linda is basically the star of the movie, and that's the problem. Not a whole Helluva lot ever happens to her, and actually, the movie would have been fine without her.

Special effects guy Rick Scott plays the mean-looking hitchhiker monster dude!

His trunk is full of all kinds of smelly, gross and disgusting body parts!

 Did you ever wonder what Kato Kaelin was up to before the O.J. murders? Yeah, well me neither, but I guess "Night Shadow" was the second movie of his career.

 With friends like this playing tricks on you, who needs enemies?

Martial arts champion Stuart Quan fell victim to the Bruce Lee syndrome and died at the age of 43 after going on a snowboarding trip. He became unconscious on the way home, and later died.

I give the makers of "Night Shadow" kudos for shooting the whole thing in Fresno, and Hanford, California!

 Somebody had fun setting up this scene. I thought the bread in the toaster was a nice touch!

 What the Heck? Now it's a Kung-Fu movie?

You get the idea!

 In the common practice of "We Need Some Kind Of Name That Doesn't Cost Much" department, they dredged up class act Aldo (We're No Angels, God's Little Acre) Ray, and use him for totally nothing but a name and a face. Humiliating, but at least Aldo got a pay day out of it!

The monster doesn't really get cookin' until almost the end of the movie!

Trying to make a werewolf movie could easily turn into a very daunting project!

This werewolf is kind of fat, but other than that, he's pretty cool!

He's never going to reach that gun, and even if he could, it isn't going to help him when the adversary is a werewolf!

Dinner's served!!

THE THREE STOOGES In Color / Sing A Song Of Six Pants - 1947

The Stooges are tailors in this one, and they are heavily in debt to the Skin & Flint Finance Company! When the boys hear about a big reward for a fugitive robber, they think it could be the answer to all their problems. The bank robber ducks into their shop while running from the police and ends up leaving his jacket there with a safe combination in the pocket. After the crook's girl friend fails to retrieve the combination, he and two of his goons return to the shop where a wild and crazy fight ensues.

Besides the Stooges, this thing stars Vernon Dent, Virginia Hunter and Tiny Brauer. Did you know that the awesome Mr. Vernon Dent wound up with a whopping 437 acting credits?!

Larry, Moe & Shemp are the Pip Boys, Unaccustomed Tailors with Cheep Clothes (Larry is misspelled). So then, let's take a look inside and see what's goin' on...

What do you know! The boys are working away. Shemp, who looked like he was sitting on a work table, decides to get some music on the radio and walks away. Moe does a double take on the pants before he joins Shemp at the radio. A news report comes on about a reward for a robbery that just happened. And boy, would they like to capture the crook and use the reward money to pay off their debt!

Larry has been working hard removing a spot on this pair of pants!

And, Moe makes some tasty pancakes using the steam press!

As fate would have it, the crook, Mr. Terry Hargan, quickly ducks into the boys' place, discards his overcoat, uses shoe polish to make a mustache and poses as just another mannequin.

Vernon plays the cop, he goes inside looking for his man, but, the boys try and sell him Hargan's suit instead! Then, they find out that he's a detective chasing the crook so they back off a bit.

Hargan splits the joint when the boys' backs are turned. Moe finds a safe combination in a pocket of Hargan's jacket they managed to snatch up in the confusion.

Shemp gets his finger bit but good after he does a little too much pointing at Moe!!

This is Hargan's goil, Flossie. She goes to the shop and gets the jacket back but there's a sales receipt in the pocket instead of the combination. Damn, just look at that freakin' style! That feather cap is the cat's meow!!

So, Hargan takes two thugs with him to deal with the boys, and, get that combination back! The boss takes care of Shemp, Moe gets this guy searching his pockets for that little slip of paper. Moe can't stop laughing because the dude is tickling the Hell out of him!

Larry takes care of his guy post haste so goes over to help Moe. Whotta team!

Shemp ends up knocking out Hargan while spinning on that fixture behind them. The boys have done it, they captured the crooks!! Trouble is, Detective Sharp shows up and informs them that he'll be collecting the reward, not them!.. He even laughs at 'em!

While waiting for the cops to get their shit together, Shemp accidentally finds $550 in the lapel of Hargan's jacket, and takes it. A happy ending, they can pay off their bills!.. Hooray!!

I think Eegah!! has a good one for you tomorrow, so, I wouldn't miss it if I were you... Or, me!
