Wolfman Mac's Chiller Drive-In

Having trouble sleeping? Well, there’s no need to go to the medicine cabinet looking for sleeping pills. Just turn on 1976’s "The Legend of Bigfoot" and you’ll be sawing logs in no time! Will you be a believer in the Bigfoot myth by the end of the film? This film answers that question with a resounding "Maybe".

This is one those films where the title pretty much tells you all you need to know. An oversized reptile develops a taste for human flesh and attacks a barn dance full of teenagers. Can a teenage musician/hot rod mechanic stop the monster from eating everyone in town? Can he put down that stupid ukulele first?

Nutty Dr. Markoff has developed a formula that spreads a hideous disease called acromegaly (go ahead look it up – it’s a thing) and uses it on a concert pianist. To get the antidote the pianist must give Dr. Markoff the hand of his daughter in marriage. Directed by Sam Newfield, who churned out over 250 B-movies during the course of his career!

This 1963 Psycho-wanna-be is loaded with senseless killing and a plot that makes even less sense. It's hard to believe that Francis Ford Coppola directed this movie, but easy to believe Roger Corman produced it.

It's the 1922 silent classic that needs no introduction, Nosferatu! And because this is a 4-star film, you’ll get points with all your snooty, arts-fartsy friends, and get some "culture" while being entertained by fart jokes! Win-win, baby!

Radiation once again plays the role of monster maker and turns some happy little swamp leeches into monstrous beasts that feed on humans - and make basketball sized hickeys on their victims. It stars Yvette Vickers, who was probably best known as Playboy's Miss July 1959 - Because this film sure wasn't going to make her a household name.

A crazy scientist makes contact with the planet Venus using his killer quadraphonic stereo system. He chats with a creature named Zontar, who claims that he’s going to come to Earth and solve all our problems. Well, it turns out that Zontar has other plans and instead causes mass power outages, car breakdowns and controls the minds of Earthlings! This movie is so bad, it’ll actually make your TV smell like wet garbage.

This sci-fi stinker is your typical man-meets-aliens fare, with desperate attempts at realism, cheeseball special effects (come to think of it, the asteroids kinda look like cheeseballs) and sub plots galore. It stars Dean Fredericks who appeared in dozens of films and TV shows in 50s and 60s. But is perhaps best known as "Steve Canyon" from the short lived TV series of the same name. Stealing the show with her raven hair and scorching hot bod is Dolores Faith as Zetha. It's even better that she's mute through most of the film. You'll also see Richard Kiel (best known as Jaws in several Bond films) paying his dues as the Solarite alien.

This week we have the gloomy Italian horror/mystery film, “Werewolf In A Girl’s Dormitory”. Yeah, it’s got some bad dubbing, and the dialog is awful, and the werewolf is pretty lame, but it does star drop-dead-gorgeous Barbara Lass. And plenty of folks get mauled by werewolves. So it’s not all bad. Back at the projection booth, Wolfman Mac pulls some strings to get Morbid Melvin admitted to Lucy Furr’s infernally exclusive school. You won’t want to miss this one.

The only real horror about this film is that fact that it got made in the first place. It stars a bevy of babes that get stranded on a deserted island with their manager after their plane crashes. The manager gets bitten by a huge spider and turns into a fuzzy spider monster. But don’t worry about that. Most of this film is spent on the girls and their fights, snarky comments and skimpy outfits. It's a terrible movie that's easy on the eye. And if that’s not enough cheesecake to ruin your diet, back at the Chiller Drive-In, Boney Bob gets the brilliant idea to make a Chiller Cheesecake Calendar. And all the hot babes from the show to drop by to strike a pose.

Produced and directed by Roger Corman, and starring the late Susan Cabot in her final role before retiring from B-Movies. She probably thought that she didn’t need to work in Corman movies when her own life was crazier than anything he could come up with. And if the movie’s not odd enough, back at the Chiller Drive-In, Morbid Melvin and Boney Bob decide to tie the knot...

A mysterious murderer known only as The Bat terrorizes a couple of old ladies, meanwhile $1 million goes missing from the local bank. You'll be beating your head against the wall as you try to figure out which of the 2-dimensional characters is The Bat. The Bat also stars Agnes Moorehead, who played Endora on the Bewitched TV series, and Darla Hood; best known for her role in the Our Gang (Little Rascals) shorts of the 1930s and 1940's.

Actually, this movie spends more time dedicated to the sport of mountain climbing than it does on any dinosaurs. It stars Cesar Romero (best known as The Joker from the 60’s Batman TV series), Hugh Beaumont (Leave it To Beaver) and Acquanetta (AKA The Venezuelan Volcano) in a role she was born to play. Everything goes bad when an experimental nuclear rocket veers off course and crashes someplace in the South Pacific. Major Joe Nolan gathers a crew to go hunt it down, and crash land on an island with big lizards, some dinosaurs and a smoking hot native girl. Oh yeah, and don’t adjust your sets – it’s supposed to be green. Yeah, this one’s a stinker, so to ease/add to your suffering, Wolfman Mac, Boney Bob and Professor M Balmer take a ride in a submarine to rescue Morgus Gravesly from the clutches of a monster menace at the bottom of the Detroit River. Wait, what? It’s more action than should be allowed by law all packed in to 90 minutes!

When a giant robot Kong can't dig up enough radioactive Element X, the evil Dr. Who (No relation to the famous Timelord) decides to kidnap the real thing! However King Kong's current gal pal and her commanding officers have something to say about that. It's monkey shenanigans and kaiju smackdown - thanks to the folks at Rankin/Bass.

we'll be starting off the Chiller Drive-In opening weekend with 1967's suspenseful stinker, Devil Doll. You'll never look at the toys in the doll aisle the same way again. Or maybe you will. Who are we to judge?
