“Hip chicks are shaking - in the knees - because there’s a MONSTER on the beach.”

It’s a black and white classic from Czechoslovakia made in 1963. Starship Ikaria XB 1 travels through space to search for life on the planets of Alpha Centauri.

“Charles Vine has to try a little harder because he is only number two.”

Somebody put together this little trip down memory lane. It’s a trailer for a DVD full of trailers from the 60s, 70s and 80s. The best of Grindhouse, Exploitation and Drive-In Movie. Check it out!

“It happens 250 000 times a year. Where is your daughter tonight? This is the story of a girl who wasn’t careful. Teenage mother, means nine months of trouble.”

If you ever wonder where Ridley Scott got some of the inspiration for Alien, then look no further. Terrore nello spazio (Planet of vampires), Mario Bava’s classic from 1965 has many similarities. Check out this scene where the scientists enter the ancient shipwreck, only to find skeletal remains of huge aliens.

The original soviet version of this movie was called Nebo zovyot. This is the trailer for the re-edited US version with new monster footage. Produced by king of B-movies Roger Corman and directed by (big surprise here!) Francis Ford Coppola, under the pseudonym Thomas Colchart. I wonder where they got the inspiration for the design of the monsters…

“Now it can be told. Today’s true story of beautiful girls kidnapped for immoral purposes.”

This monster movie was shot in Denmark in 1962 with Scandinavian actors speaking English. Eventually it was re-dubbed with american voice actors.

Starring Peter Fonda, written by Jack Nicholson and directed by Roger Corman, The Trip tells the story of Paul Groves’ first LSD trip.

“Sinning, slugging and drugging their way to hell. Satan’s Sadists are not a pack of imitation angels. They are modern rebels warped by the generation gap, and turned on to everything by the torrid temple of the strange age we’re living in.”

I found a clip from one of the worst movies ever made. This is so bad it makes me cringe and laugh at the same time. I can watch this over and over again. :)
