DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE / Are You A Jekyll Or A Hyde? - 1941

In today's classic tale, Dr. Jekyll allows his dark side to run wild when he drinks a potion that turns him into the evil... Mr. Hyde.

This thing stars Spencer (IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD) Tracy, Ingrid (NOTORIOUS) Bergman, Lana (MADAME X) Turner, Donald (IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA) Crisp, Ian (DOCTOR BLOOD'S COFFIN) Hunter, Barton (UNKNOWN ISLAND) MacLane and many more.

Here's Dr. Jekyll working in his lab, he's experimenting on animals with two serums, one makes them hostile, one makes them gentle...

The doc decides to experiment on himself to see if the serums work on humans beans!

After downing a beaker of his 'bad side' serum, the doctor has hallucinations where he's whipping two white stallions to go faster. Then, they turn into the two women in his life! Something ain't right here. Man, Ingrid and Lana were so beautiful!

Mr. Hyde gets a good look at himself in the mirror!

He combs his hair and heads out to the pub. It doesn't take long before he creates a pile of trouble, including hurting people and starting a big fight!

Caught in conundrum, Mr. Hyde confides in his friend the secret he's been keeping...

He is really Dr. Jekyll in disguise!

But, there's a problem... Jekyll now turns back into Hyde without the use of the serum! He goes to see his girl, Beatrix, and scares the Hell out of her, then, kills her butler with his cane before he splits the scene!

Back at the ranch, the police show up. Apparently, Dr. Jekyll was attacked by Mr. Hyde and the cops are ready to leave when...

Jekyll's friend arrives (the one he showed the transformation) and begs him to tell the police the truth. While denying it, he changes back into Hyde and goes berserk!

So, Hyde is shot dead and he transforms back into Jekyll bringing our tale to an end - Join us again on Wednesday when Eegah!! will occupy this space!.. Later!

A DOPPIA FACCI - "A Double Face" (1969)

Twelve years and almost 3000 movies later, and we still haven't made a cent, and tonight ain't gonna be any different. This Saturday Night Special for the beginning of 2019 is a film called "A Doppia Faccia" or "Double  Face" and sometimes even "Puzzle Of Horrors" depending on who you talk to!
 
This film should have actually been called something like "The Many Looks Of Klaus Kinski" because that's mostly what it is!

Now I'm not complaining because Klaus Kinski is a perennial favourite, and a member of The Dungeon Hall Of Fame, and it's good to see him in a role as a handsome leading man instead of some psychotic freak case!

Pretty daring for 1969, and even more daring for whatever year Edgar Wallace wrote it, Klaus's wife is a lesbian, and is played by the marvelous Margaret Lee of  "Secret Agent Super Dragon," "Psycho-Circus," "Venus In Furs" etc. fame!!

When your relationship is this far gone, even going to races isn't going to save it! You've already lost the bet before you even got started! I always like shots of people looking through their binoculars at the racetrack!

Klaus's wife also has a cool snake ring.....

...and a nasty scar on her neck that will be handy when trying to identify her later once things get strange!

I'm willing to bet that at least 40% of the movie is closeups of Klaus, and maybe even more than that!

The music is swinging and strange from start to finish! Working as Joan Christian for whatever weird contractual obligation, Nora Orlandi is the woman responsible!

The music in this club scene was just as disorienting as this still, and sounded like four or five different songs playing at the same time!

Klaus just keeps racking up more closeups!

This is a pretty cool and and atmospheric alley shot!

How ironic, I have a pair of dikes exactly like this!!

A good lighting person is worth their weight in gold!

For the whole story and even more closeups of Klaus's mug, I recommend you go on over to Sinister Cinema and grab yourself a copy! I also found it streaming for free on YouTube, but the quality is so bad, it's not really worth the effort or the time!

LOST IN SPACE Season 1 Episode 25 "The Space Croppers" - 1966

We start this episode with a teaser where Dr. Smith, Will and Penny meet up with a freakin' Werewolf.. Uhhh, like, Heeeelp, Mr. Wizard!

This story's about what happens when the Robinsons run into a group of Space Hillbillies that Dr. Smith believes might take him back to good old mother Earth... Yeah, right!

Besides our crew, other actors include Mercedes McCambridge as Sybilla, Sherry Jackson as Effra and Dawson Palmer as Keel/the Werewolf.

Dr. Smith takes Will with him to look for the Werewolf that scared them earlier, but, meet up with big country hayseed, Keel.

Keel takes our boys to his country style spaceship where his hot sister Effra joins them.

Oh, and don't forget their momma, Sybilla. She likes to grow all kinds of crazy plants!

Effra goes to say howdy to her new neighbors and borrow (steal) a few things. Then, she sees Don, and wants him for her new beau! Problem is, well, Judy just don't dig it, which almost leads to a cat fight! Check out Don's expression!

So, mom and daughter get all gussied up for Dr. Smith and Don. Mom needs a new husband for a reason we'll get to in a moment...

Will shows up at the ranch to check up on the Hillbillies' deadly plants, and...

That damn Werewolf pops into the scene! Will tries to get away but falls back into a flesh eating monster plant. He doesn't look real happy about the situation! Don't worry, Effra shows up and saves the day.

Okay, here's the deal... Dr. Smith wants to marry Sybilla to get a ride back to Earth, but, she wants to marry Dr. Smith so that Keel/the Werewolf will have a father!

Sybilla's plants are out of control, so, the gang use spray to kill them!

Just after they kill the plants, Dr. Smith comes a runnin'. They watch as the Hillbillies take off and head back to Earth, sans Dr. Smith.

We get a glimpse of next week's episode, don't miss it! Anyway, it's supposed to rain tomorrow, so, I wonder how all those negative ions will effect what Eegah!! has in store for us... Til then!

GLOW - Kate Nash (2018)

Okay, here we go again! Welcome back to Whacked-Out Wednesday in The Dungeon! I admit it, I've been screwing off a lot lately, and watching stupid stuff like "GLOW" on Netflix, and even though I didn't think the show was that good, (Actually I was hoping it would be truer to the real behind the scenes story) it was interesting to a degree! My daughter was seven when "The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling" came on in 1986, and since I loved to watch wrasslin', we used to watch it together all the time on Saturday mornings. Somehow she turned out to be a fantastic Mother, so I guess they were decent role models!

 Out of all the characters, some likeable, and some not, I found the character of Rhonda Richardson as Britannica to be the most interesting of the group. Rhonda is played by a unique young woman who is not only talented, funny, beautiful, and intelligent, but she also plays the bass!

Her name is Kate Nash, and although not exactly a household name in America yet, I think she will be some day soon, just not because of this show. Kate was voted "Best British Female Solo Artist" in 2008, and has quite a few hit songs. Barely in her 30's, I believe Kate's star is just starting to shine or glow! I was just looking at her tour dates, and I have no idea how she had time for this show!
 Here's the link to her website!

 Britannica is the smart one of the girls, and her character was inspired by the original "GLOW" wrestlers Zelda the Brain, and Godiva. Here she is having a confrontation with the gorgeous Sydelle Noel as Cherry Bang or "Black Magic."

While watching the show, you'll notice that Rhonda has a strong British accent, but she's not acting, because that's Kate's real accent, and unlike guys named John and Paul, she doesn't try and change it when she's performing, and I say Cheers to her independent soul!

A champion of underdogs everywhere, Kate actively supports women's and LGBT rights!

Kate only has nine acting credits, but her music has been used in 21 movies and TV shows! So, if you want to see how talented this gal really is, here are a couple of videos that show how many different styles she is capable of! You're welcome!


"Ow-Ow!!"

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
