What's better than nothing to do on Halloween? Lot's of things, one of them is Monogram Pictures' 1941 KING OF THE ZOMBIES, one of the first few zombie flicks made before World War II. Although no intestines or brains are snacked on in this 67 minute
"zombedy" classic directed by Jean Yarbrough, it does
have the comic antics of Mantan Moreland as Jefferson Jackson, the
scaredy-cat valet of a couple of so and so's who do this and that,
talk alot. (Just watch Mantan. he's hilarious.) Plus your hosts John, Stu and Alphonso will be there to hold your
hand and make the boogeyman go away in case you fall asleep from
fright! Enjoy this ALL - NEW 2010 episode of Dumpsterpiece Theatre!

This is an excellent example of our early "Palmdale" episodes
that we broadcast LIVE and unrehearsed on local cable in the mid-90's.
You'll need to adjust your volume, and expect black outs during
the broadcast. There are silly sound effects louder than the dialogue,
and overall lack of focus. Watch for Saddam Houssein's floating
head, and there is a little bit of talking over the movie, which
we didn't often do. We didn't cut out the "commercials" because
they are just too funny.... or cut the station ID's because there
were none! We did, however, use every special camera effect we
had available. At 1:28:20 Alphonso's has about had it ... "Enough
with the Hippy Crap, STOP IT" ... The very beginning of the
90's theme song got cut off at the beginning of this video, but
it's replayed at the end of the episode. Bonus - this episode includes video from the 1996 Antelope Valley
Fair Parade

PORT OF NEW YORK
Scott Brady ... Michael 'Mickey' Waters |
A
tough, film-noir tale of New York harbor customs agents cracking
down on narcotics smuggling. Featuring Yul Brenner's film debut.
This episode of Dumpsterpiece Theatre was originally broadcast
in April 2002, and features an appearance by Faye Fluffer.

This
week we
Two directors are credited here,
Tulio Demicheli and Hugo Fregonese, which explains why the film
looks like two different films arbitrarily cut together. This
has more continuity problems than "Manos, The Hands of
Fate," another one of those so-bad-they're-good pics. I
like to call the process 'cut with a meat axe'... descriptive
without the dressing.
|
.....Every now and then we run across movies that go beyond
mere bad and into that realm of enjoyably rotten; "Assignment
Terror!" is such a film. This German- Italian-Spanish-Argentinian
co-production came to the U.S. with other unwanted cargo sometime
in 1970 under the disguise of several titles---"Los Monstruos
del Terror," "Dracula vs. Frankenstein," "The
Man Who Came from Ummo"---what were they thinking?
Sadly,
this is Michael Rennie's final film and appears to have been
shot right down to his final breath. I am totally convinced
that the filmmakers dubbed another voice over Rennie's, because
if that was his real voice we hear, then he was in worse shape
than even I thought. "Cyborg 2087" was only a couple
of years before this, and he looked fine. Maybe the fact that
he found himself trapped in this aimless mess just drained it
out of him. Anyway you slice it, it's a far cry from "The
Day the Earth Stood Still'" or even his BBC TV series based
on "The Third Man" (that's right, he was Harry Lime
in the TV version)

Check out the latest online episode of DUMPTV...
We're almost proud to present --Junkyard John |

In a recent phone conversation, Glut told me he was excited about this new film because it represents a departure from the soft erotica that his earlier films had to feature to compete in the fierce independent market. So while admitting that there will still be some nudity to capture the "R" rated audience, he did sound relieved that he didn't have to rely on the soft core approach for this picture. "You can only go to the prerequisite lesbian scene so many times", he said with a laugh. In "Blood Scarab," Glut is pleased to announce that there will be more monsters ("a vampire & a mummy") and less smut, while keeping the naked girls---it's an R, after all. So check out the show this Saturday at...
And while you are at it, check out the latest episode of DUMPTV. We're almost proud to present "Manos, The Hands of Fate," the legendary cult film stinkeroo filmed in El Paso. It is easily one of our funnier shows because it is really such a bad, bad film. --Junkyard John |

This Week on Dumpsterpiece Theatre, we present Roger Corman's 1961 cult classic "CREATURE FROM THE HAUNTED SEA" The third in our Roger Corman trilogy - the last and also the least. We shot this episode LIVE in June 2001 - John and Alphonso start getting silly earlier than usual. Here are some links to thorough
reviews of "Creature from the Haunted Sea" 1000
MISSPENT HOURS AND COUNTING with EL SANTO
Not Corman's best film, but surely a fun episode of Dumpsterpiece Theatre! Parents beware, this one is rated TV-14 |
What
was the unspeakable secret of the sea?

This Week on Dumpsterpiece
Theatre, We continue our Roger Corman series with a tale
of murder and sculpture. The lead character, Seymour, creates
a flesh-eating plant, and is forced to murder people in order
to feed it. Hilarity ensues! We had a blast during this 2001 live episode. We gave away some prizes from a local hobby store, but that contest is long over guys, sorry! The greenery for our version of the flower shop was courtesy of a local dept store. There are not any live-mishaps like during last week's "Bucket of Blood" but Alphonso's jokes during the 2nd host break had all of us in the studio laughing out loud.

Hey Boys in Ghouls - Nice to see ya'll !!
HILLBILLYS
A mansion that appears
to be haunted is actually a front for three crooks, (Carradine,
Chaney and Rathbone), who are stealing atomic secrets. Two country
music stars, (Husky & Lansing), and their manager take shelter
from a storm in the house and are menaced by a gorilla, secret
panels, the crooks and a fake ghost. The juvenile
humour and the poor acting is only surpassed by the awful country
music concert that takes up the last remaining 20
minutes of the film. Not included here for any great film qualities,
but as a sad reminder of the decline of good horror actors in
their later years. This was Rathbone's last film, he died on
July 21st 1967.
Even with the long list of
stars, this movie's a real stinker. Hope Ya'll Enjoy It!

Junkyard John and Alphonso present this 1961
gorefest featuring Wilton Graff, June Kenney, and famous Brady
dad Robert Reed - looking young and hunky. IMdb plot synopsis: ((A group of teen-agers vacationing in the tropics take a boat out to a seemingly deserted island. They soon find, however, that the island is inhabited by a wealthy recluse and his staff. While their host is initially hospitable, he quickly reveals his true purpose: to hunt down and kill each of his visitors, as he has done with everyone unlucky enough to set foot on his island. Plotline written by Jean-Marc Rocher {rocher@fiberbit.net} )) This episode was originally broadcast LIVE on cable TV in Lancaster and Palmdale California. Soon after this episode, we made the decision to start taping our shows prior to broadcast.

August 29th, 2006 Finally! We're presenting, online for the first time ever, an entire episode from our broadcast days! This is the full two-hour presentation of SHE DEMONS (1958) - Not only do you get to see the whole film, but since it's only 77 minutes, you also get a DVD review of some Three Stooges releases at the time, some preview trailers, including "Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things" and some classic drive-in intermission clips, in place of the local commericals. ... and the usual DumpTV shenanigans. For our new internet fans, this is what the show was like for 6 years, live every Friday night on a low-watt local TV station. ... enjoy!

This week, DumpTV pays tribute to Stan Freberg, who turned
80 years old on August 7th. I've been a Freberg fan since
my uncle played me John & Marsha in 1960. His
unique sense of humor is just a fresh (and relevant) today;
I hope you enjoy our humble tribute to one of America's
most original comic minds.

June 26th, 2006 Arthur Franz Hope all of you B-movie fans enjoy our little tribute to Arthur Franz, who passed away June 17th ath the age of 86. His daughter, Susan Martinson of Oxnard, said that he got married for the fourth time to Sharron last Valentine's Day and that his favorite film was "The Sniper," the 1952 film noir directed by Edward Dmytryk.

2006 Bet you thought we were all dead or in jail, but actually it's just been a case of the lazys. We all have real jobs in the unreal world which gives us more things to bitch about. Some of that will translate into a new series of short films, skits, revues--- you know, the same ol' Dumpsterpiece crap. But that's what we are here for. Besides, we miss humiliating ourselves in public and thought the internet would b a great place to broaden that embarrassment. I also want to get back into the film historian thing, because there are still hundreds of stories that were either told to me by the people who were there, or I was there myself. So I may as well fill you in on the unseen side of film making and the often bizarre array of people behind them. When I look back on those days, I am still in awe over some of the characters I met while covering "the Industry" for the A.V. Press and (briefly) Fangoria magazine. In fact, one of these days, I'll tell you how editor Tony Timpone 'fired' me and forbade me from ever being associated with his magazine ever again---like that was a bad thing. I'll also share reminisces with the late, great John Agar, who killed more monsters in '50s and '60s science fiction movies than just about anybody else; and he told some excellent stories. I am also going to transpose and print, for the first time EVER, my complete interview with the Godfather of Gore, Herschell Gordon Lewis. That's right, the KING. It is still one of my favorites and is pretty damn funny to boot. Soon-to-follow interviews will include Burlesque legend Kitten Natividad, cult movie icon Ray Dennis Steckler (with whom I worked with on and off for over 10 years), Yvette Vickers (of 'Giant Leeches' and '50 Foot Woman' fame), Les Tremayne (the original 'War of the Worlds' and 'The Monster of Piedras Blancas' ) to name but a few. I look forward to the Steckler piece in particular because, without Ray, I would never had gotten the hands-on experience of editing and screenwriting that I later used to great satisfaction in the final live-broadcast years of Dumpsterpiece Theatre. I am so thankful that his best films are now available on DVD through Media Blasters and are all highly recommended, in spite of the disrespectful commentary by Joe Bob Briggs. I know he has a reputation to uphold, but if you're gonna make money analyzing a filmmaker's career, Bob, find out what makes him tick first. Would have liked that better..., that's all. Anyway, keep an eye on this space for loads of z-movie fun! |
