Episode 32: Bride of the Monster! (aka Bride of the Atom)
Ed Wood does it again in his second feature film, whose making was painfully chronicled in the film biography “Ed Wood”. Wood desperately tried to raise funds for this movie. He promised to give the leading role to Loretta King in exchange for financing the film. She didn’t have a dime and a few days into production they got shut down. Leading man Tony McCoy’s father refinanced the film for $50,000 dollars and got the rights to it lock, stock and barrel. Just too bad he didn’t make a dime back!
Filmed on flimsy sets and using an abundance of stock footage, this film tells the story of Dr. Eric Vornoff (played by Bela Lugosi) who is continuing illegal experiments, that got him banned from his homeland, that can produce a race of atomic supermen. Assisting him in this venture is the mute manservant Lobo (played by Tor Johnson) and a giant killer octopus (played by stock footage of an actual octopus and a flaccid rubber octopus stolen from Republic Studios).

Episode 31: Frankenstein’s Castle of Freaks! (aka Terror! Il castello delle donne maledette)
One of the more bizarre takes on the Frankenstein mythos. This time Count Frankenstein (that’s right, he is a count instead of a baron in this) creates a monster from the usual sources, but the extra special ingredient is a Neanderthal man for the body!
Assisting the good doctor in this little venture are a hunchback with a masochistic wife and a necrophiliac dwarf!

Episode 30: The Beast Of Yucca Flats!
One of the worst movies of all time! And a favorite on “Mystery Science Theater 3000”!
Directed by Coleman Francis. Tor Johnson plays a Soviet scientist who defects to America and gets chased into a nuclear test site by KGB agents. The radiation turns him into a homicidal mad man!
Contains immortal lines of narration like:
“Flag on the moon. How did it get there?”
“Boys from the city, not yet caught in the wheels of progress, feed soda pop to the thirsty pigs.”
Pure poetry!
The movie was filmed without a soundtrack. Narration, voiceovers and some sound effects were added in post-production. To avoid having to synchronize the audio to the picture, characters only speak when their faces are either off-screen or not clearly visible due to darkness or distance. Likewise, during scenes in which firearms are used, the muzzles of the guns are usually out-of-shot when the weapons are fired. Extensive narration is used in lieu of plot points being conveyed through dialogue.
This version has the full opening murder scene with a little bit of nudity.

Episode 29: Machine Gun 7.62mm M60, Operation and Cycle of Function!
A 1960 US Army training film about the use and operation of the M60 machine gun.
Only it does not cover this weapon’s many design flaws that has led to it becoming almost completely fazed out of front line use.

Episode 27: Pulgasari!
A giant monster movie from that most powerful and prosperous of nations! The Democratic People’s Republic Of Korea! (or North Korea to us imperialist dogs).

This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
