(1977) W. Gordon Allen, Juan Fava, Uri Geller, Trevor Constable. This film was one of a plethora of sci-fi and horror exploitation documentaries to come out in the wake of Chariots of the Gods. In this one, we’re led to believe that UFOs may actually be visiting us from another dimension.  There are lots of supposedly “authentic” UFO occurrences...

(1960, Upgraded 1/12/23) Peter Williams, Harold Goldblatt, Gerald Flood, Gillian Ferguson. A seven-part mini-series about a trip to the moon and all the dangers involved.  It’s good old fashioned space opera, even if the special effects are a bit crude.  It starts with four scientists taking off for the moon.  A second rocket, an auto-piloted supply ship, is to follow.  However, when the auto pilot goes awry on the supply ship, it must be manually flown or the explorers will die in space...

(1960, Upgraded 1/19/23) George Coulouris, Gerald Flood, Pamela Barney, Hester Cameron. A routine trip to the moon is sabotaged by a fanatical author who believes in life on Mars. After taking over the spaceship, he

Van Wyck Mason's "Phalanxes of Atlans" is the twenty-fourth installment of our "Lost World-Lost Race Classics" series.  A lost world in the wilds of the Arctic!  Only in dim legends did mankind remember Atlantis and the Lost Tribes, that is, until Victor Nelson's extraordinary adventure into the Arctic unknown...

(1955, Upgraded 12/31/20) Kent Taylor, Kathy Downs, Michael Whalen, Helene Stanton This early AIP thriller (still known as American Releasing Corporation) was originally double billed with THE DAY THE WORLD ENDED. A crazed scientist unleashes a horrible, radioactive monster from the deep that menaces a small coastal village...

(1961) Dean Fredericks, Coleen Gray, Dolores Faith, Anthony Dexter, Francis X Bushman, Richcard Kiel.  There is something ultimately likable about this underrated sci-fi B-opus.  Astronaut Fredericks is stranded on a “phantom” planetoid. There he finds a race of miniature people menaced by a fleet of marauding alien monsters who attack in their flaming spaceships. This film is loaded with...

(1968) Mauro Parenti, Lucretia Love, Gordon Mitchell, John Karlsen.   The title character is a masked superhero very much in the mold as Diabolik.  There’s a great pre-credit sequence where he takes on a shipload of drug dealers.  Our hero then pops in and out the rest of the way as he searches for a magical golden relic, all the while trying to keep the bad guys from looting King Tut’s treasures...  

(1959, Widescreen) Gregory Walcott, Dudley Manlove, Bela Lugosi, Tor Johnson, Tom Keene, Duke Moore, Mona McKinnon, Lyle Talbot, Joanna Lee, Paul Marco. Not the worst movie ever made, (try watching MESA OF LOST WOMEN or THE ATOMIC BRAIN sometime) but certainly one of the most lovable bad movies ever...

How long can a girl suppress the romantic desires that are natural to a beautiful and healthy female?  The second tale in this double novel is Frank M. Robinson’s “The Dead End Kids of Space.” It would one day be called, “The Great Interplanetary Heist!” Peter Johnson was a brilliant scientist who was just starting to make his mark...

(1962) Michel Lemoine, Jany Clair, Maria Luzi, Peter Dane, Otello Toso. This is a surprisingly effective film about invading aliens who commit sabotage while in the duplicate form of a human that the
