How to Make a Monster (1958)



A fun idea, even if you don't agree that it's a fun movie. But if you were kid in 1958 and saw that poster outside the theater, you were chompin' at the bit to see this one.

A makeup artist goes berserk when the studio he works for decides that horror movies are out of style (!). While working on the studio's last monster film, he concocts a mind-altering drug and mixes it with the makeup worn by Gary Conway (repeating his role as the teenaged Frankenstein) and Gary Clark (as the teenaged werewolf).

Presto!

The actors think they are real monsters and set out to kill their master's enemies -- namely the boneheaded studio execs who think horror movies are dead. Meanwhile the makeup man fixes himself up as a caveman and joins the homicidal free-for-all.

Directed by Herbert L. Strock.

Sci-fi fans will enjoy spotting props borrowed from other American International films such as "Invasion of the Saucer Men". The cast includes Morris Ankrum, the most frequently-seen character actor in 1950s science fiction movies.

How to Steal the World (1968 TV movie)

_______


The last of several "Man from U.N.C.L.E." features, spliced together from episodes.

Robert Vaughn and David McCallum are pitted against Barry Sullivan ("Planet of Vampires"), who plans to use a newly developed gas to enslave the populace. Sets and props of "hi-tech" spy gadgets give the U.N.C.L.E. series a nice sci fi flavor.

Also starring Eleanor Parker, Tony Bill, Dan O'Herlihy, Hugh Marlowe ("The Day the Earth Stood Still"), and Leslie Nielson ("Forbidden Planet"). Directed by Sutton Roley.

I Eat Your Skin (1964/70)

____________________

Relax, nobody's skin actually gets eaten.

In 1970 producer Jerry Gross needed a second feature for his "I Drink Your Blood", so he dragged out this no-budget disaster which had been shot in 1964 but never released (!).

The original title was "Voodoo Blood Bath", so naturally the story includes a few zombies. They're the victims of a mad scientist who injects them with radioactive snake venom -- proof positive that if you make something radioactive it will cause completely illogical reactions. Directed by Del Tinney.
