HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FIENDS!

Who will you be for Halloween?

HALLOWEEN GIG TOMB-ORROW

If you happen to be in the Maryland or DC area (or like to travel) we urge you to proceed with caution if attending this event:

THE 30 WACKIEST LOOKING MOVIE MONSTERS EVER! part 2 (1960 - 1967)

As threatened, er... promised, here is part 2 of the 30 wackiest, craziest, nuttiest... ah, you get the idea.

The giant rat-bat-spider from "Angry Red Planet" (1960, seen here in promotional tv release artwork)

Giant orifice eyeball tentacle thingy from "Battle Beyond The Sun" (1960)

Tall insect... erm... carrot creature also from "Battle Beyond The Sun" (1960)

Bonus photo: The 2 creatures do battle from "Battle Beyond The Sun" (1960)

Martians from "The Three Stooges In Orbit" (1962)

Bat-man monster from the Mexican movie "Aventura al centro de la tierra" ("Adventure in the Center of the Earth", 1965)

Radioactive zombie monster from "The Horror of Party Beach" (1965)

Martian leader from "The Wizard of Mars" (1965)

The same creature above was used again in the movie "Space Probe Taurus" (aka "Space Monster", 1965)

Oddbod and Oddbod, Jr. from "Carry On Screaming!" (1966)

King Kong from the Japanese movie "King Kong Escapes" ("Kingu Kongu no gyakushû", 1967)

STAY TUNED FOR (CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?) PART 3!

THE 30 WACKIEST LOOKING MOVIE MONSTERS EVER! part 1 (1910 - 1960)

As promised, here they be! I've racked my brain to bring you the kookiest, nuttiest Things, Its and Blobs you've ever seen! Presented in chronological order (more or less), here is part 1 of the 30 most insane looking creatures ever to grace the silver screen. This is not to say there aren't many more, but these are the ones I thought to be the most bizarre (or at least the ones that popped into my noggin first). I've tried my best to refrain from making any extraneous comments about these guys and let YOU be the judge! (In most cases you can enlarge the photo by clicking on the picture.)

Frankenstein's monster from Thomas Edison's production of "Frankenstein" (1910)

Martian leader of "Invaders From Mars" (1953)

Metaluna Mutant from "This Island Earth" (1955)

Beulah the Venusian from "It Conquered the World" (1956)

"The Giant Claw" (1957)

Saucer Men from "Invasion of the Saucer Men" (1957)

Tagual, the smart but evil brainhead creature from "La Nave de los Monstruos" ("The Ship of Monsters", 1960)

Uk, the dumb but evil cyclops also from "La Nave de los Monstruos" ("The Ship of Monsters", 1960). Both he and his above friend would make a return of sorts (or at least their costumes would) in 1970's "Santo and Blue Demon vs. the Monsters".

STAY TUNED FOR PART 2!

TUNE OF THE MOMENT: "DISCO DUCK" EN FRANÇAIS

Some of you may remember, or have at least heard of, "Disco Duck", that annoying hit record from the 1970s that combined the worst of both worlds: Disco music and an intelligible cartoon duck voice. Well now, for my French friends (all 3 of them), I am proud to present this "lost" (???) novelty single by Paul Vincent. A French language cover version of "Disco Duck". Bonne courage!

Certains d'entre vous souvenez mai, ou avoir au moins entendu parler de "Disco Duck", ce dossier a frappé ennuyeux des années 1970 qui combine le pire des deux mondes: la musique disco et une voix intelligible cartoon canard. Eh bien maintenant, pour mes amis français (tous les 3 d'entre eux), je suis fier de présenter ce "perdu" (???) seule nouveauté par Paul Vincent. Une langue françaises couvrent version de "Disco Duck". Bonne courage!

COMING SOON IN THIS SPOT

Trying to get my Blog Mojo (Blojo?) back in the groove: A new series entitled "5 Questions" begins with actor Art Hansl, author and star of several interesting '60s and '70s flicks including Juan López Moctezuma's "Mansion of Madness"; Also forthcoming is a feature on "The 48 Hour Technicolor Dream" documentaries, movies my parents took me to see that they probably shouldn't have, and, for Halloween, the world's most insane looking movie monsters! Muaaa-ha-haaa! In the meantime here is an interesting posed photo of Klaus Kinski I came across of him kissing his wife's derriere entitled "Embrassant sa femme" ("Kissing His Wife").
