Ooo...1957.. that was a very good year!

O BTW MrGray..I have been enjoying watching your movies in the afternoons when the boards go quiet. I especially enjoyed Day of the Triffids. That was the first novel I ever read when I was a kid at school.

Thanks, Monday,

I'm glad someone is watching.

Dementia 13 - Coppola - 1963




Dementia 13 is a 1963 horror thriller released by American International Pictures, starring William Campbell, Patrick Magee, and Luana Anders. The film was written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola and produced by Roger Corman. Although Coppola had been involved in at least two nudie films previously, Dementia 13 served as his first mainstream, "legitimate" directorial effort. The plot follows a scheming young woman who, after having inadvertently caused the heart attack death of her husband, attempts to have herself written into her rich mother-in-law's will. She pays a surprise visit to her late husband's family castle in Ireland, but her plans become permanently interrupted by an axe-wielding lunatic who begins to stalk and murderously hack away at members of the family.

Corman offered Coppola the chance to direct a low-budget horror movie in Ireland with funds left over from Corman's recently completed The Young Racers, on which Coppola had worked as a sound technician. The producer wanted a cheap Psycho-copy, complete with gothic atmosphere and brutal killings, and Coppola quickly wrote a screenplay in accordance with Corman's requirements. Although he was given total directorial freedom during production, Coppola found himself fighting with Corman after the film was completed. The producer declared the movie unreleasable and demanded several changes be made. Corman eventually brought in another director, Jack Hill, to film additional sequences.

The Cube - 1969

For old school television nuts (like me), Jim Henson’s The Cube has been something of a Holy Grail. Before the days of the Internet, a video freak would really have to hunt through every video store backroom VHS bootlegger to find themselves a copy (of a copy of a copy’) of this original TV production. Thankfully, with obscure video and DVD outlets all over the web, we video hounds can hang up the leash and crack the DVD play button.

The Cube was an hour long teleplay, created by Jim Henson, that aired only twice as part of the 60s weekly anthology series NBC Experiment in Television. It featured Richard Schaal (Chuckles the Clown from Mary Tyler Moore) as an unwitting man who finds himself trapped in a stark white, cube-shaped room. With no knowledge of how he got there or of how he can escape, the Man is visited by a parade of strangers who enter through hidden doors and hatches that are not accessible to him. Each visitor poses something of a conundrum for the Man, never being able to provide him with answers to where? what? or why? but instead piling on even more questions, mostly about philosophical uncertainties of identity, time, and about reality versus illusion.

Henson (creator of the Muppets) directed the trippy teleplay from a script co-written with longtime Muppet’s writing pal Jerry Juhl (Emmet Otter’s Jugband Christmas). It’s an excellent example of the type of creative and thoughtful (as well as thought provoking) programming that used to be available to television audiences. It’s also a dismal reminder that the writing on today’s television could use a real swift kick in the pants. No longer is our entertainment in the hands of skilled scribes who have honed their craft through years of work and practice, but rather we’re dished out a heaping pile of hip pop culture references and (not really that) clever dialogue. If only TV Land (the cable channel, that is) would forget trying to latch onto the unreachable younger audience and turn us all on to the long lost television shows such as The Cube.

I loved it....yes...would be a fantabulistic drive in movie.

Don't forget number 2 and 3. Most sequels don't do justice of course but those 2 do. Creeeeepy.

Thanks for keeping it going Dune!
