LET SLEEPING CORPSES LIE / Star Films S.A. - 1974

Welcome everbloody to Friday Night Drive-In, here at The Dungeon! Tonight we gots a Spanish/Italian flick filmed in England and has a storyline like this... "A cop chases two hippies suspected of a series of Manson family-like murders; unbeknownst to him, the real culprits are the living dead, brought to life with a thirst for human flesh by chemical pesticides being used by area farmers."

This film has 19 AKA's including THE LIVING DEAD AT MANCHESTER MORGUE, BREAKFAST AT THE MANCHESTER MORGUE, DON'T OPEN THE WINDOW, INVASION DER ZOMBIES, THE LIVING DEAD and ZUMBI 3, so better watch out for this one!

The oddball music is by Mr. Giuliano Sorgini, who had 10 composing credits between 1974-97, this was his first movie.

Welp, time to bring in our fuzzy lil' Dungeon helper and 6-eyed freek, Ralphie The Tarantula, and he's here to push the big red 'GO' button and start the Eariffic Earclip! So, always remember, and never forget to... LET SLEEPING CORPSES LIE!!

In a 1974 horror film, this spectre of doom was an easy target!

But, don't forget about those sneaky deregulated oil companies and their experimnetal systemic pesticides and the such!! In NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, it was a radio-active satellite that crashed in Pennsylvania that caused all the problems.

Uncle Joe, you seem all upset about something!..

I swear, I didn't eat your Boo Berries!! Aaaaaaaaaa!!!..

Great sign for The Old Owl Hotel. One mistake in the film is that owl is spelled 'olw' on the door!!

She looked through one of them black eye telescopes... We'll just call her, Pete!

Wow, what a nice place to...

...Get all clawed up by a freakin' nutso zombie!

I see London!

Yeah, I guess that's one way to use a cross!.. Are zombies atheists?

The film really has some beautiful scenery, especially for foggy old England.

And, you think you're havin' a bad hair day! ...Yeesh!!

From one Zom-Bro to another! "May your fingernails be ever encrusted with human's blood!.. Hey-Yo!"

Looks like this zombie got carried away with his clawing!

I love this shot, it looks like Uncle Creepy working on the air conditioner!

When you finish speaking, you have to say, "over!" ...Over!!

It's... NIGHT OF THE LIVING FUZZ!

A great line from this filck is "The dead don't walk around, except in very bad paperback novels!" By the way, there's Arthur (FANTASTIC VOYAGE) Kennedy...

Ghoulnight Everbloody!!

MASTER OF HORROR / Jack H. Harris Enterprises - 1965

Image
Welcome to Friday Night Drive-In with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. Tonite's offering is a fairly obscure (not even 1 review on IMDb!) flick made in Argentina and produced by Jack H. Harris. Jack had already made THE BLOB, THE 4-D MAN and DINOSAURUS. I swear, there was supposed to be another Blob movie recently, I wonder what happened to that project?! Hey, I used to have that poster! This movie was originally paired with another Harris production, MASTER OF TERROR, which is none other than a renamed version of THE 4-D MAN!! Pretty danged slick, Jack. I know, the title card says 'The' Master Of Horror! There are no credits for the music. Obviously, it's stock music from who knows where, so, my job's like, done here... Lettuce now bring in our littlest Dungeon helper and buddy, the one, the only, sure 'nuf, itz... Rufus The Gnat!! Yippie, yappie, yahooie!.. Rufus is all set to push the big red 'GO' button and start the show, so, push the button now,

TOUCH OF EVIL - Henry Mancini - "¿Dónde Está Mi Esposa" (1958)

Image
"Touch Of Evil" is one of my favourite movies, and goes way beyond being merely special with an all-star cast, this film is Magnífico y Súper Fantástico!!! The Maestro Henry Mancini wrote the score, and although Henry is well known as the composer of "The Pink Panther Theme," and "Moon River," my favourite of his works will always be the timeless "Peter Gunn" theme!! Working effortlessly in all genres, including the Whitey Thomas era of the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Here's just a small snippet of how Hank could rock! You would't really think a couple of D cell batteries and a cheap $2.99 kitchen timer would be capable of causing much trouble, but.... ...this vintage Chrysler and it's passengers are about to become toast! This movie starts off with about a four minute single shot that follows the car right to the point where it explodes, while at the same time introducing the stars Charlton Heston and Janet Leigh as Mike and Susan Varga
