Nightmare Theatre

Tonight The Baron Mondo Von Doren (Mike Ensley),  a minor demon assigned to inflict misery upon mankind by way of bad movies. With his sidekicks—the masked wrestler El Sapo de Tempesto (Chip Chism) and pet werewolf Mittens (Lemmie Crews) will be showing Track of the Moon Beast  a 1976 horror film directed by Richard Ashe and written by Bill Finger and Charles Sinclair. The story revolves around a mineralogist being hit in the head by a meteor, which turns him in to a vicious reptilian creature during the full moon. 

The film takes place in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where mineralogist Paul Carlson (Chase Cordell) is struck by a lunar meteorite while observing a meteor shower. Lodged in his brain, the meteorite causes him to transform into a strong and vicious lizard (the titular "moon beast") whenever the moon comes out. In his lizard form, Paul loses all traces of his human self and goes about killing people at random. While human, Paul is subject to spells of dizziness and nausea, causing his girlfriend Kathy Nolan (Donna Leigh Drake) and friend and former anthropology professor, Johnny "Longbow" Salinas (Gregorio Sala), to become concerned.

Eventually it is shown that Paul is the monster, and deduces that the meteorite fragment in his brain is the cause of his transformations. Plans are made to remove it from his skull, but the NASA brain surgeons realize, after another X-ray and Johnny remembering some Native American legends documenting similar phenomena, that the meteorite has disintegrated and will eventually cause Paul to self-combust. When Paul learns of this, he escapes into the desert on a motorcycle, presumably to kill himself so he will not cause any more harm. When Johnny recalls that Paul's favorite place was always Sandia Crest, Kathy, Johnny, and local law enforcement officers follow him there. Johnny shoots him with an arrow made of the original meteorite, which causes him to explode. Bye Bye Moon Beast !

Tonight The Baron Mondo Von Doren (Mike Ensley), a minor demon assigned to inflict misery upon mankind by way of bad movies. With his sidekicks—the masked wrestler El Sapo de Tempesto (Chip Chism) and pet werewolf Mittens (Lemmie Crews)—the Baron introduces Teenage Zombies  a 1959 science fiction horror film written, produced, edited and directed by Jerry Warren, and starring Katherine Victor, Don Sullivan, Chuck Niles and Warren's then-wife and production manager Brianne Murphy. Warren wrote the screenplay under his pen name Jacques Lecoutier (which he frequently misspelled in the credits).

"The plot follows a group of teenagers who are marooned on an island inhabited by a female mad scientist, her pet gorilla and a zombie slave named Ivan. She traps the youths in a cage down in her laboratory, plotting to use them as subjects for her zombie-making experimentation, so she can test out a drug she is working on for an unnamed foreign nation.Although the credits include a 1957 copyright statement for G.B.M. Productions, the film was never registered for copyright,  rendering it in the public domain.

Watching this now on Nightmare Theatre (PBS) Hosted by The Baron Mondo Von Doren (Mike Ensley), is a minor demon assigned to inflict misery upon mankind by way of bad movies. With his sidekicks—the masked wrestler El Sapo de Tempesto (Chip Chism) and pet werewolf Mittens (Lemmie Crews)—the Baron introduces old horror films in a humorous manner with little respect and a side of intriguing film history. 

Roger Corman’s The Terror, starring Boris Karloff and Jack Nicholson, was released on the 17th of June, 1963.

A low budget shocker in more ways than one, the film is famous for being shot on sets left over from other AIP productions, including The Haunted Palace. Sometimes linked to Corman’s series of Edgar Allan Poe films of the same era, The Terror is not actually based on any of Poe’s works.

Thrifty Corman’s decision to make the movie by taking advantage of sets left over from The Raven and other American International productions went down well with studio bosses. Leo Gordon received just $1,600 to write a script, while it was agreed Boris Karloff would be available for just three days’ filming for a modest fee, plus a deferred payment of $15,000 should the film earn more than $150,000 at the box office.

It didn’t, so Karloff went without. Corman did, however, promise to pay up in full if the star agreed to work on a future, undetermined project. This eventually turned out to be Peter Bogdanovich’s Targets (1968), a pioneering film essentially casting Karloff as himself in the guise of Byron Orlock, which also borrowed footage heavily from The Terror, just to keep everything green. Agreement reached, the actor got his dollars.

Unfortunately, radiation interferes with the rocket's operation, mutates the animals and causes the rocket to crash land near Satan's Hollow, Texas. Locals think the crashing rocket is a UFO.

The Texas community is soon beset by a rash of mysterious killings, including of students from the local college who wanted to throw a party at the spaceship crash site.

When Sheriff Clint Crawford (John Agar) investigates the deaths he discovers the startling identity of the killer, an alligator mutated into an ogre-like creature. After the death of one of Crawford's deputies, Crawford learns that the monster is bullet-proof and all but unstoppable.
