Wolfman Mac's Chiller Drive-In

2009 - 2011

Devil Doll

25th April 2009

Episode 1

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?

Gorgo

Episode 2

If you thought the biggest thing to ever come out of Ireland was Riverdance, then you’re in for a surprise. In this 1961 stinkeroo, a giant monster is captured and taken to London to be put on display. But the creature’s mother is not happy about it.

King Kong Escapes

Episode 3

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.

Gammera The Invincible

Episode 4

A nuclear explosion awakens a fire-breathing monster from hibernation. No, not Godzilla. We're talking about Gammera (with 2 M's - that's how you know he means business)! Gammera, who's clearly not a morning person, opens a can of whoop-booty on Tokyo. Meanwhile, teenyboppers dance to the Gammera theme song... at least until Big G crashes the party.

Lost Continent

Episode 5

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!

Night of The Lepus

Episode 6

This week we have the 1972 bunny blowout, Night of The Lepus. Yeah, this week’s monster is a horde of rabbits that are just dynamite. These rabbits will do more than just nibble your bum. They’ve got a vicious streak a mile wide. This one stars Janet Leigh (best known for her role as Marion Crane in Psycho) and DeForest Kelley (Dr. McCoy on Star Trek).

The Bat

Episode 7

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.

I Bury The Living

Episode 8

We have the 1958 psycho-thriller, I Bury The Living! This one doesn’t have a monster or blood and guts or anything like that. Instead it has a big ugly map on a wall! Wait. What? The newly appointed chairman of a large cemetery seems to be able to determine who will die by simply placing black pins in the unoccupied-but-sold graves indicated on the aforementioned wall hanging. People start croaking all over town and chairman Robert Kraft (Richard Boone – best known as the star of Have Gun Will Travel) begins to lose what little mind he already had in the first place! If you liked Carnival of Souls (and who doesn’t), then you’ll dig (get it?) I Bury The Living. And if that isn’t scary enough, back at the projection booth, Wolfman Mac goes out on a double date! AAAAAHHHHHH!

Wasp Woman

Episode 9

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...

Evil Brain From Outer Space

Episode 10

It’s superhero sci-fi action with a dash of kung-fu and a hint of ballet this week on Wolfman Mac’s Chiller Drive-In. Saturday night at 12:30 (a half hour later than usual) you’ll be smacked upside the head by Evil Brain From Outer Space! Starring Japan’s first modern superhero, Starman! Since this nonsensical film is an amalgamation of three other nonsensical films, you can rest assured that your mind will be completely ruined by the time we get to the second commercial break. In fact, if your brain hasn’t turned to tapioca by 2 am, you’re taking way too much ginko biloba. And if the movie isn’t bad enough, Boney Bob has his own superhero adventure back in the projection booth! Join StarBob as he battles with The Milkman®™© and his udderly evil henchmen.

Horrors of Spider Island

Episode 11

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.

Sting of Death

Episode 12

From 1965, this film dedicates a great deal of screen time to teenagers (who appear to be in their 30's) and their jiggling booties. But once they’re out of the way (thanks to an army of floating plastic sandwich bags painted blue and purple), the Jellyfish Man can get his revenge on all the folks that done him wrong and wrap his tentacles around girl of his dreams.

Werewolf in a Girl's Dormitory

Episode 13

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 She Beast

Episode 14

Even though Barbara Steele is barely in this film, she managed to get top billing. It’s really the screwball antics of the Romanian Police that steal the show. This film combines horror and Keystone Cops capers in a complete mess that only Chiller Drive-In would dare show. Meanwhile, Wolfman Mac has his paws full dealing with Professor M Balmer’s new assistant and trying to stay on her good side.

The Phantom Planet

1st August 2009

Episode 15

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.

Horrors of Party Beach

8th August 2009

Episode 16

A beach full of dancing teenyboppers, greasers and old-people-pretending-to-be-teenagers is terrorized by a radioactive monster that looks like it’s eaten way too many hot dogs at once and forgotten how to chew. This film has it all! Monsters, music, bikini babes, summer fun, mayhem, drunks and radioactive explosions!
