In the 1950s, movie titles that began with words like “attack”, “battle”, and “beast” were bringing in the customers. Very Happy

In the 1960s the words “blood” and “brains” were the hot buttons. My how times change, eh?

The three movies below are good example of how low Hollywood sank when it came to science fiction, I mean, geez, even the posters sucked! Very Happy

Blood Beast from Outer Space (1966 England)

______


[Also released as: "Night Caller from Outer Space"]

This is the worst excuse for a poster I have ever seen. It looks like it was drawn by a six-year-old who knew very little about tanks, flying saucers, or women in negligees. Rolling Eyes

And the movie isn't much better . . .

John Saxon ("Battle Beyond the Stars") plays an American scientist working at a British observatory. He discovers that Robert Crewsden isn't the magazine editor he pretends to be — he's actually an alien from one of Jupiter's moons.

Crewsden's little office in Soho, England, is a front for the aliens' operations: the kidnapping of attractive models who respond to his ad in a cheesecake magazine.

The girls are being transported back to the alien's home world as child-bearers to help repopulate the planet. Sexy scientist Patricia Haines poses as a model to spy on the alien, but the plan seriously backfires.

Directed by John Gilling.

Blood Waters of Dr. Z (1971)

__________________

[Also released as: "Zaat"]

Strange title for a strange little low-budget film made in Florida, about a mad scientist who develops a serum which creates amphibious monsters (very low-quality makeup).

The doctor eventually suffers the effects of the serum himself. He performs experiments on the locals, and he kidnaps heroine Nancy Lien to make her part of an amphibious procreation experiment.

All in all, a bad job from people who have never done much of anything else. Produced and directed by Don Barton.

The Brain Machine (1955 England)

___________________

Alec Snowden produced this modestly budgeted British science fiction thriller, written and directed by Ken Hughes.

Elizabeth Allen plays a doctor who examines amnesia victim Maxwell Reed by using an electroencephalograph which can detect psychotic brain waves. She tries to warn the police that her patient exhibits the brain waves of a psychopathic murderer.

They dismiss her warnings -- but Reed knows she's right, and he kidnaps Allen when he escapes from the hospital. During their search for the kidnapper and his victim, the police become embroiled in a gang war and discover a drug smuggling operation.
