Monkey Brain Fusion Twist


….The custard leaked out from my sock, but I painted two babies green and talked like I was on a walkie-talkie. Airplanes and squirrels were there. I said don’t tell them but Mussolini poked his eyeballs out with Fether’s elbows.
Note to myself. Never ever stop and eat those little purple or green mushrooms when down here. Dr. Tarr

Deep in the Bowels of the Asylum

Hi, Dr. Tarr here, still trying to find my way back. Back up to the main floors of the Asylum. Stumbling my way through the luminous fungus-lined corridors of the catacombs beneath the Asylum, still wondering about all these strange little foot prints. Seeing strange incantations and formulae written upon the walls. Wondering what unspeakable things these writings conjure up. Groping my way through the dimly lit passageway, the air cut by sharp sounds (the owners of the foot prints?), the space filled with a noxious, sulfurous odor emanating from some dark nether region. Then I suddenly think: "Damn that Fether and his new French cooking!" I think it's upsetting my delicate stomach, giving me gas again. I must quickly try to find my way out of here before the stench overwhelms me. I really have to quit eating the Professor's cooking!

I wonder what movie he wants to watch tonight? I think I'm in the mood for a Japanese BIG MONSTER movie...got to hurry up and find the way back up. I don't want to miss another movie...

Track of the Moon Beast

Eddie's Place is almost done. Damn, it has proven to be a formidable task. But it'll be worth it, believe me.

Okay, time to grab Dr. Tarr, some beverages, some popcorn, and watch a movie. Tonight's movie is TRACK OF THE MOON BEAST. The copy we're watching is hosted by our good buddy Butch R. Cleaver of the show MEET CLEAVER THEATER. Ah, Butch is a madman after our own hearts and a FELLOW INMATE in good standing of the Aslyum. And believe me, kidlings, the only way to watch this movie is to have a good horror host to help you through it because this is ONE BAD FLICK!! Time to have some fun...

Movies and Beer Night



Professor Fether here. Last night Dr. Tarr and I sat down in front of the TV and popped in the 1965 psychotronic classic "Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster." Oh yeah! What a movie! This flick fits right in to our kind of movie. It has everything: a space monster, a cyborg astronaut, a "butchy" princess, an effeminate henchman, a couple of songs, one music montage (using stock footage obtained from NASA), and lottsa girls in bikinis! See what I mean? As Dr. Tarr so aptly put it, "You'll laugh. You'll cry. You might even throw up!"

Here's the plot: When an atomic war on Mars destroys the planet’s women, it’s up to Martian Princess Marcuzan and her right-hand man Dr. Nadir to travel to earth and kidnap women for new breeding stock. Landing in Puerto Rico, they shoot down a NASA space capsule manned by an android. With his electronic brain damaged, the android terrorizes the island while the Martians raid beaches and pool parties.

Yeah, that kind of sums it up. It doesn't mention that this movie is reputed to have the most stock footage of any movie ever made. Talk about yer padding! They do, though, actually manage to make good use of the stock footage...well, as "good" as anything about this movie.

Probably the funniest character in the movie is Dr. Nadir, played by Lou Cutell. His makeup job is a very bad imitation of the vampire Nosferatu, and he camps it up big time. He even manages to look at the camera a couple of times during his dialog. Cutell also appeared in numerous TV shows and movies, his latest appearance a supporting role in "The Wedding Crasher." he was also the Amazing Larry in "Pee Wee's Big Adventure", one of our favorite (good) movies.

We really enjoyed this movie. We couldn't stop laughing. And the copy we watched, produced by Darksky Films, has one of the best insert booklets every included in a bad movie. It's absolutely hilarious and is worth the price of the DVD ($11.99) alone, if yer interested in movie-making history.

The good doctor and I give this movie 4 severed thumbs! You gotta grab a copy, sit back and laugh yer ass off!

Uncle Roy Hoggins is in the House


Hoi, fellow Inmates, just wanted to let you know that we just did a half hour interview with Uncle Roy Hoggins. Uncle Roy is the host of Stink-O-Rama, a strange show coming out of Independence, MO, which is a suburb of Kansas City. Uncle Roy's show is a whirling hodge-podge of bits and public service films and other short subjects too gross to talk about. Yessir, Uncle Roy is definitely aimed at an adult audience. You gotta check his DVDs out to see what we mean.

The interview was done by phone and will appear soon on our website (see the link in the sidebar).

So keep yer eyes peeled for a peek into the mind of a truly demented human being!

Just Had To Do It

Professor Fether here. Tarr and I decided to spend 6-6-6 in the Confluence Lounge. We figured it was the safest place to be on this day. Then Tarr pointed out that many a strange creature and/or character "pops" into the Lounge on a regular basis. So we decided to have a 666 Party. Pass the bloody martinis and the eyeball stew!

Movie for the evening: "The Devil Bat." Oh yeah!

Deep Within the Catacombs


Dr.Tarr here deep in the catacombs of the Asylum. Man, I forget how big this place is. The reason I am down here is Fether wants to try one of his Hypno experiments again. Last time I tried that with him he made me believe I was a chicken and then he wanted to play Carny Geek. That was a close call.
I love being down here by myself, looking at all of old failed experiments, heh heh. Tapping on the jars to get them to squirm and dance for me. Looking about, seeing all of our old machines, forgetting what half of them do. Hmm, no one's been down here for years, maybe even decades . But it's odd. I keep finding these small little three-toed footprints all over. Wonder what made them. Some experiment I forgot about? Something Fether hasn't told me about? Guess I'll have to ask him if he knows anything about them.
Time to head back up. I feel dehydrated. Time for some therapy...

Friday Night at the Movies


Ah, yes, kidlings, it's time to sit back and watch another great psychotronic movie. Tonight we're gonna watch "Frankenstein's Daughter." It's a "classic" from 1958 shot in glorious black and white. It stars John Ashley, Trudy Morten, Harry Wilson as The Monster, and great supporting actor Donald Murphy as the insane Oliver Frank aka Frankenstein.

Tagline: It reaches from the grave to re-live the horror, the terror! More destructive! More terrifying!

Hmm, yes, nice tagline. Doesn't quite capture the true essence of the movie, though. Heh heh...

The construction of Eddie's Place on the Psycho Cinema website is nearing completion. Interior contents will be sparse at first. But it will grow, it will become the GRAND PUBAH of E.A. Poe websites. IT WILL RULE THE NET! ...Uh, sorry, got a bit carried away there. It is gonna be a very cool place to find all things "Poe."

Okay, time to grab some beverages and a bowl of popcorn. The movie's about to start. Hmm, I think I'll watch MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE starring Bela Lugosi after Frank's Daughter. Ah yeah, another great B flick.

Oh yeah, before I go -- FAT MAN RULES! Go John Boissy! Okay, I have to admit I do have a soft spot for John and his company. It is, after all, called Blue Fez Press. John is obviously a man of discerning taste and high culture. You can get a frustrated glance into John's company by visiting the website www.bluefezpress.com. He's still in the process of making it as killer as his other creations. Check it out, hound him to get some samples posted. You'll be glad you did.

In the meat time, dear Inmates,

LET THE OPERATION BEGIN!

P. Fether
