GALAXY OF TERROR / New World Pictures - 1981
Welcome to Monster Monday wif' Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. Tonite's offering is another ALIEN inspired movie produced by Roger Corman and New World, FORBIDDEN WORLD being the other. Budget estimated at $400,000, stars Edward Albert, Erin Moran and Ray Walston. And, get this, James Cameron only gets unit director credit at the bottom of the credits and Bill Paxton is uncredited for set decoration! Music for this one is by Barry Schrader, who has only 9 composing credits. I think that music meant sci-fi sounds in 1981. Barry also plays himself in the 2010 documentary, TALES FROM THE LUMBER YARD: THE MAKING OF GALAXY OF TERROR. I actually visited Corman's lumber yard studio in 1984. Letz bring in our Dungeon helper and button pusher, Ralphie The Tarantula!.. Bueno, Ralphie. The lil' guy is here to start our show, sooo, push the big red 'GO' button there by the pinball machine, now, Ralphie! Here's some spacey noise from... GALAXY OF TERROR! The story
