'Rider Of The Skull' (1965)
Plot: A masked rider and two companions travel thru old Mexico fighting supernatural creatures such as a werewolf, A vampire and a headless Horseman. Phantom's Review: Definitely falling into the catagory of 'Weird Western' this is one of the most hysterically bad movies I have ever seen. God awful FX, terrible acting, a toatally inept hero, and i awear the masked hero must have changed actors in the second part of the film, because he looks taller and thinner. Wonderfully bad Mexican made film. Perfect for a Bad Movie Night. Last edited by phantomstranger; 07-28-2015 at 07:24 PM. |

THE GIANT GILA MONSTER (1959). Not great by any means but fun little flick made by the same people who did THE KILLER SHREWS the same year. Some good laughs and neat Hot Rods are sidelined by an awful song that gets sung twice and a lethargic pace throughout. **1/2

I don't find the pace lethargic at all, what with the platter party, a drunken Steamroller Smith ( "The Disc Jockey!!" ), and all those groovy cars, how could i ever be bored? Yeah, I'm a Gila devotee, to say the least. So, needless to say I believe I enjoy it more than you did, Frye, but I have to thank you for posting about it! |

"Two On A Guillotine" (1965)
-Connie Stevens, Dean Jones, Ceaser Romero Plot: Imdb Duke Duquesne is a very eccentric magician, and owing to his lifestyle his two-year-old daughter, Cassie, is sent away to live with an aunt. After twenty years, news of her father's death brings her back to Los Angeles to attend his funeral. The day after her arrival, she is told he left a rather odd will. It specifies that she will inherit her father's estate on the condition that she stay in his creepy palatial mansion for seven nights in a row - alone. Phantom's Review: Enjoyable, atmospheric, but not very scary little mystery thriller. directed by William Conrad (Cannon, Nero Wolfe)the film feels like its trying to be a William Castle style film without William Castle. Surprisingly good acting from a small picture. Very atmospheric and filled with Haunted House Gimmicks. Very much ,in same vein as the original "House On Haunted Hill"/ "Old Dark House". Surprise twist ending (that's not very surprising). This is an enjoyable movie, if your not expecting much. |

'War Of The Colossal Beast'(1958)
-Sally Fraser Plot: IMDB Glenn Manning, "The Amazing Colosasal Man," believed dead after falling from the Hoover Dam, reemerges in rural Mexico, brain damaged, disfigured, and very hungry. Phantom's Review: Goofy as Hell, but fun giant monster movie from Bert I. Gordon. Sequel to 'The Amazing Colossal Man', the film has ok acting, a standard plot and special FX that have to been to be believed. Like all of Gordon's films, this is a wonderfully silly movie. Highly entertaining, if your not expecting a classic. |

Like this myself, but find it lacking to THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN.
Too bad Glen Manning and the Fifty Foot Woman (from ATTACK OF) couldn't have hooked up and gotten away from it all. |

THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939). Haven't watched this since my daughter was little so it's been awhile. Still a wonderful film with still amazing sets, special effects and makeup. Remember back when I was younger how it would come to TV once a year and how much Margaret Hamilton scared me as the Witch. *****

What a fun movie. The combination of Vincent Price and Carol Ohmart in a William Castle film is almost too much for my heart to stand.
