The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!?

  • Pure camp

    One of my sci-fi/horror/fantasy reviews written 50 years ago: Directed and Produced by Ray Dennis Steckler, for Fairway International Pictures. Screenplay by Steckler and Robert Silliphant; Photography by Joseph Mascelli; Edited by Don Schneider; Music by Libby Quinn; Cameramen: Vilmos Zsigmond and Laszlo Kovacs. Starring: Ray Dennis Steckler, Carolyn Brandt, Brett O'Hara, Atlas King and Sharon Walsh.

    Combo sex/horror flick in which Ray and his sidekick Atlas KIng become involved with zombies and their Gypsy mistress, who wreak havoc on a set of carnival strippers. The raunchy early 1960s atmosphere has rarely been captured so accurately. A one-of-a-kind camp experience, notable for its many amateurish erotic dance interludes and a wild climax.

  • The original ozoner

    One of my sci-fi/horror/fantasy reviews written 50 years ago: Directed by Gene Fowler Jr.; Produced by Herman Cohen, for American-International Pictures. Screenplay, Cohen and Aben Kandel; Photography by Joseph LaShelle; Edited by George Gittens; Music by Paul Dunlap. Starring: Michael Landon, Yvonne Lime, Whit Bissell, Vladimir Sokoloff and Guy Williams.

    The original commercial drive-in theater juvenile box office horror smash. Landon stars as a teenager with emotional problems who becomes a werewolf who preys on pretty young things.

    Good Listener

  • Aug 20, 2025
  • Sensitive older/younger saga

    Lisa (Rose Carter) is depressed and won't even get up out of bed until it's already afternoon. Her stepmother (Reya Lovenlight) wants her to confide in her, asserting that she's a good listener, and finally Lisa blurts out her problem, declaring: "I'm gay!".

    Mom is sympathetic, but Lisa points out: "Have you ever had your heart broken by your best friend that you also are in love with?". Thus unfolds a rather touching Allherluv segment in which newcomer MILF (a 50 something lady who decided to enter the world of porn) Reya is very effective in portraying a caring older woman, who also is quite sexy and significantly bicurious, which comes in handing for servicing her adolescent stepkid. Fine acting by both players, directed by Craven Moorehead.
