BATMAN AND ROBIN / Chapter 2: 'Tunnel Of Terror' - 1949

In this vintage 15 chapter serial, antisocial Professor Hammil's remote control device, which enables the user to take over any motor vehicle within 50 miles (dang!), is stolen by The Wizard, a black-hooded mastermind, and his gang. Batman and Robin (who drive around in a Mercury convertible) must prevent the Wizard from obtaining the diamonds needed as fuel for the device, and, rescue magazine photographer Vicki Vale from periodic perils. And, the Wizard's base can only be reached by a freakin' remote controlled submarine!

It stars Robert (HOUSE OF HORRORS) Lowery as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Johnny (PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE) Duncan as Robin/Dick Grayson, Jane (THE BRUTE MAN) Adams as Vicki Vale and Lyle (AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON) Talbot as Commissioner Gordon.

Here are Dick and Bruce discussing their game plan, now that the Wizard has stolen Professor Hamil's remote control device...

Our heroes head out in their airplane to try and locate the Wizard's secret lair and recover the diamonds they have stolen. After they land and get out of the plane, the Wizard blows it the Hell up with a destruction ray!

So, Batman and Robin climb in the bad guy's plane and hide in the back compartment. Once the plane's in the air, Batman takes the diamonds out of the sleepy head's pocket and replaces it with another package!

Boy, this doesn't look suspicious at all... The crooks, thinking they have the diamonds, enter a secret opening under a huge boulder.

They go down into an underground cavern that houses a remote controlled submarine!

So, the Wizard opens the package and finds Batman's calling card! And, the diamonds he needs is just a pile of sand... His henchmen just cannot figure out how it happened!

I guess their Merc's in the shop because they're using this Ford to get around. Okay, this is a Batmobile?! Boy, how things have changed, love the missing hub cap too!!

The gang of bad guys have a special radio to keep in touch with the Wizard.

Robin drives the Batmobile and catches the freight train the crooks are trying to rob, so, our hero climbs onto a freight car to confront them!

A big fight ensues and Batman enters the tunnel of terror! Willy make it?.. Betty does!!

So, chapter 3 has Robin going on a wild ride, just the way we like it, here, at The Dungeon!! Eegah!! is back tomorrow with another special post, just for you! Oh yeah, and them!!

BLACK SANTA'S REVENGE - "One Man Delivers Hope...With A Vengeance!" (2007)

I guess it's about time to get the Yuletide log rolling so for tonight's Wild and Wooly Wednesday Saint Nick style feature, I've got "Black Santa's Revenge" for you!

I'm not trying to be funny when I say one of the best things about "Black Santa's Revenge" is that it's only 20 minutes long! It was refreshing to watch the work of somebody who gets it! Just like in the comedy shorts of yesteryear by Laurel and Hardy, or The Three Stooges, in a 20 minute movie, there's not a lot of time to waste on frivolous crap, and the filmmakers can focus on substance and style instead of filler! I admit I have a short attention span, so this format works for me!

Santa's tired, and his apartment sets the mood! I do think it would be funnier, and more interesting if they just called it "Santa's Revenge," and that you didn't know Santa was black until you saw it!  Why does it matter that Santa is black anyway? Who can prove it's not true?

Ken Foree is Santa! Ken turned a young 70 this year, and is still kicking ass, and not taking names!

Ken Foree has been all over your TV since 1977, and has been in such memorable movies as "Dawn Of The Dead," and "The Wanderers," just to name a couple!

Santa wasn't really into his gig that much until a crew of cheapass thugs steal all the toys donated to charity!

Santa tries, but the local law enforcement agency is no help at all! No wonder since the detective in this shot is Danny Bruno who is unforgettable as the Eisbiber, better known as the beaver Bud Wurstner in the "Grimm" TV series!

What else can Santa do but head on over to the local strip club? 
Oh, Yeah, this really isn't a film for the kiddies, unless they're used to the colloquialism "motherfucker," boob shots, and guys getting violently blown away, otherwise it's perfectly fine!

And then it starts, one of the A-hole punks walks into the strip bar and Santa is pissed!!

Santa goes one step further than Mike Tyson, and bites this sumbitch's whole ear off!

You'd really think that after all this time, dumbass people would learn a lesson, but........
No!

Santa turns out to be a hero as he well should be, So......
Joy To The World, The Lord Is Come,
Let Heaven And Nature Sing!!

BRAIN DAMAGE / Now You're Really Losing Your Mind! - 1988

Here's one especially for our west coast Dungeon Operative, Zillagord... In this twisted story, Aylmer, a rather large, penis-shaped parasite, gives unsuspecting Brian major brain damage by getting him hooked on the hallucinogenic blue fluid that it produces! But, the thousand-year-old worm-like parasite demands something in return for the buzz, human brains! They misspell the little critter's name on the poster! A tale about drug abuse.

This thing stars Rick (WARLOCK III) Hearst, Gordon (THE THIN RED LINE) MacDonald, Jennifer (only acting credit) Lowry, Theo (BIG THUMBS) Barnes, Lucille (only acting credit) Saint-Peter and Dungeon Hero John Zacherley as the voice of Aylmer!

Brian's neighbors love to eat brains, all because they have an ugly little secret.

Oh no, their little pal Aylmer has escaped and they need it back to keep them juiced! They go into a state of shock and withdrawal, foaming at the mouth!

Aylmer ditches the elderly couple to try out a new subject, Brian... Well, hello der!!

Aylmer gets Brian stoned out of his gourd and B wanders into a junk yard. He's hallucinating like a mofo when a guard arrives and roughs him up. Next thing you know, Aylmer attacks!!

Aylmer then directs Brian to this place!! What the?!..

Anyway, Aylmer tells Brian all about its sad tale through the ages. Then, it shows Brian who's boss, it cuts him off from the drug to teach him to do what it wants!!

When Brian's girlfriend gets in the subway car with him, this is what he sees. Unfortunately for her, Aylmer eats her brain!

There's a scene in this movie involving a horny girl, Brian's crotch and Aylmer that is so twisted and disgusting, I just cannot show that still...

But of course, look who's in the car with Brian, it's Duane holding his precious basket!

So, guess who finally show up? Yeah, Brian's manic neighbors, they want their Aylmer back!!

Martha gets Aylmer back, off the back of Brian! But, Aylmer doesn't want them back!

Proof's in the brain pudding!!

After a big tussle though, Aylmer finally gets it, es ist mucho kaput, toast!! That's a wrap!

Okay then, Brian goes home and finds a huge zit on his head, so, he freakin' shoots it. After that, Brian transforms into a psychedelic beacon... You figure it out! Check in again on Wednesday when we beat another Dungeon post out of a bush!
