Beach Party Invasion
Here's the trailer for the Sixties drive-in cult classic, Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster, an el cheapo horror flick about horny Martians who invade Puerto Rico and kidnap women from beach parties to replenish their breeding stock. Geez, what is it with aliens and kidnapping girls anyway? You never see them taking women out for a nice dinner at a fancy restaurant. If you're going to commence Phase 3 with my daughter, I want you to at least come over to the house and have a chat with me and the wife first, mister!
While watching this clip, I noticed that the background music was That's the Way It's Got To Be, by The Poets.
Do Your Eyes...Dare Witness...Total...TERROR?

That song rocks! Christopher just bought an MP3 player and I've subscribed him to your site so he can get all the awesome Exotica you post.
My plans for this Halloween are to sit on the couch and watch a cheesy, scary movie just like this.

Yeah, I love that song. The movie has a lot of sentimental value for me too because I saw it with my father back in the 60s at a theater in Iran. It scared the crap out of me at the time.
Watching a crappy horror film sounds like a great way to spend Halloween.

Well, we couldn't get anything to Korea from Netflix in time, so we're watching one we own — "Parents."

My dad was working on an oil refinery. He used to take me to the local US Army base to watch movies and play miniature golf.
