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.

How many times have you said, "that would have been a pretty good movie if it would have only been about 20 minutes long?" This film is just that, and is more like four short stories, three of them having been written by one of THE top writers ever, Robert Bloch! IF you don't know who Robert Bloch is, I only have one word to say to you, "PSYCHO !" The good thing about movies like this is that there's no time to waste! An author of horror stories and his wife are the first victims to move into the "House That Dripped Blood." The author's sketches of his character have come to life, and come to get him! Everybody has a skull, it's just that most people choose ...
