Nightbeast (1982)

"Listen, I've been thinking. I hate this idea of us running out of town when -"

"We're beaten, Jamie. Guns have no effect on that thing."

"Guns don't, I know that, but if we could hit that thing with twenty or thirty thousand volts of electricity we might be able to stop it!"

It’s time to head for Maryland, USA to head off an alien invasion of sorts with the overly ambitious, roughly made, yet surprisingly entertaining creature feature, The Alien Factor (1978). Fans of horror host Count Gore De Vol will have a delightful surprise inside. And, for those who remember the odd alien creature cover of Famous Monsters of Filmland – with a ‘pink’ background – will finally get to see that monster and three others in this minor… masterpiece (?- Bill, really, I have to say this? – Okay…sigh.) All kidding aside, if for no other reason, this episode (and the movie watched for it) is a blast because of Bill Mulligan’s unwavering love for Don Dohler, his magazines, and his first full-length feature film. For better, or worse.

At the time of this writing, The Alien Factor (1978) is available to stream from Wicked Horror TV, Classic Horror Movie Channel, Tubi, and PPV on Amazon.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In two weeks, the next episode, chosen by Bill, will be Mark of the Devil (1970), starring Herbert Lom, Udo Kier, Olivera Katarina, Reggie Nalder, and of course, Herbert Fux and Gaby Fuchs. The movie proudly owns the tagline, “This vomit bag and the price of one admission will enable you to see… the first film rated V for violence.” Oh-oh.

The Galaxy Invader (1985)

A DON DOHLER FILM

The soundtrack is a bop! legit great

Wastes NO TIME getting to the point, everything turns wild like ten minutes in. this is described as hillbillies hunting an alien and oh my god the entire family is just. comical. i love their acting.

‘’I'm pretty sure Don Dohler is actually an alien and all of these movies are him trying to covertly reveal himself to us’ - brandon notonthisplatform

Everyone in this movie is SO 80s it hurts. also shoutout to hillbilly dad joe’s shirt window.

‘recurring theme in these movies: all the men are just some guy and all the women have amazing hair.’ - @gwenfrankenstien

there’s a lot of plaid in this

best character: hateful annie.

This is such a goofy film but it feels very earnest. These people were out to make this movie and by gum they did it. everyone is giving it their all.

‘This is hillbilly Predator’ - brandon notonthisplatform

we were all theorizing the round thing that the alien was carrying was an egg but it is not an egg and thats disappointing

its kind of refreshing that the alien isnt just here to MURDER. he's chill if you’re not shooting at him

Also everyone keeps calling him THE SPACEMAN and its great.

There’s a handful of really good shots in this film. not many but they’re there

I love the ongoing hillbilly family drama throughout the thing? its so weird in contrast to the spaceman events. like... it feels like the spaceman is playing second fiddle to the family drama or just was the tipping point its REALLY SOMETHING

and then the movie just fucking ends very suddenly????  i feel like they lost the last ten or so minutes of the movie and just went 'actually its fine'

of note: we get credits for this one! we don't usually get credits.

alien dude is pretty cool we like him

carol is also pretty cool

therefore: ship of the film: carol x mold alien. this was declared about fifteen minutes in. and just got reinforced at about the 50min mark.

Everyone really wanted moldy spaceman and carol to get together.

emoji of the film: bigiron.emoji

Rating: pew/pew pew. p fun, goofy, has a surprising amount of charm in regards to the alien. surprise ending??? of some manner of surprise. did actually like this one. fun times.
