SATAN'S CHEERLEADERS / Come Score With The Cheerleaders! - 1977

Welp, here we go again... It's Friday and time for another flick to fillet, here, at The Dungeon! Our little story goes like this... The janitor at a local high school is actually the scout for a coven of Satanists on the lookout for a virgin to sacrifice! After their car breaks down, he picks up a cheerleading squad to use for their rituals, however, unbeknownst to the local devil-worshipers, one of the cheerleaders is actually a witch! Filmed near Malibu with a paltry budget of $75,000. Oh yeah, check out that tag line at the top of the poster!

This sucker stars John (GUNSLINGER) Ireland, Yvonne (Lily Munster) De Carlo, Jack (THE ANGRY RED PLANET) Kruschen and John (THE COSMIC MAN) Carradine.

The whole damn thing starts at Malibu Beach, the gang's groovin' out until teens from a rival high school show up and ruin all the fun! So, to see who's the boss of that small patch of sand on the beach, they fight it out the only way they know how!

Back at the raunch, Billy the janitor, played by Jack Kruschen, aka the sacrifice scout, decides to go to his special spot with a peep hole and check out the girlies in the shower! I think the weirdest thing is that Ms. Johnson, their cheerleading coach, likes to watch too!

Later, on the way to an event, the gang's car breaks down and by some strange chance Billy stops in his van and picks them up. On the trip between the first and second photo, well, a lot of crazy shit happens!! After their heads stop spinning from a ride down a hill, they find that devilish head just sitting there! Wha?..,

We find out fairly quickly that the Sheriff, played by John Ireland, is a head honcho in the cult. Billy pissed him of so he pummels him a goodern!

John is The Bum... He pops in occasionally to remind the girls that everyone is freakin' crazy around here! Boy, they show his hands way too much, they are really bad.

To prove the locals are crazy, this total weirdo listens in on one of the girl's phone call.

The Sheriff and his wife, played by Yvonne DeCarlo, run the show. They need a virgin!

She is a High Priestess and spends a lot of time in front of her pentagram with an eyeball.

Look!!.. A mini Dungeon-Shed!!

I threw this still in just because I like it, that's all...

Okay, so, Yvonne has two Dobermans, and when the Devil figures out that one of the cheerleaders, Patti, is a witch, he no longer needs a lowly High Priestess. He sics the dogs on her and her dying words are, get ready, quote... "Satan, why hast thou forsaken me?"

Anyway, Patti is Dev's fave now! And, what kind of powers does she have?..

Well, ones that help their football team cheat to win! Really?.. REALLY?!! Praise Satan, woooo... Now that we got that behind us, it's time to let you know that Eegah!! is back tomorrow with more junk 4 U!

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!!
