Halloween Midnight Movies (3) - Doomsday Machine (1972) on Elvira's Movie Macabre

Doomsday Machine (a.k.a. Armageddon 1975, a.k.a. Doomsday, a.k.a. Escape from Planet Earth)

In an effort to further explore the galaxy, the United States is hours away from launching a manned mission to Venus. But when a Chinese plot to destroy the Earth is uncovered, the U.S. teams up with the Soviet Union to replace members of its all-male crew with women. Now, it’s up to the crew of Project Astra to keep the human race alive and thriving.

Halloween Midnight Movies (2) - Legacy of Blood (1978) on Elvira's Movie Macabre

When their father dies, three greedy sisters and their husbands reunite to hear the reading of the will. His fortune is theirs . . . assuming, of course, they’re able to survive a full week at the family mansion. One by one, the unsavory characters find themselves the targets of an unknown killer who has plans of his own for the family fortune.

Directed by Andy Milligan this is a remake of his own film THE GHASTLY ONES. Fans of one or the other often argue mightily over which is better - personally I don't see the argument as they both have some good parts wrapped in a mostly bad B-movie package.

Halloween Midnight Movies (1) - The Devil's Wedding Night (1973) on Elvira's Movie Macabre

In The Devil's Wedding Night (a.k.a. Full Moon of the Virgins), scholarly Karl Schiller believes he's found Wagner's Ring of the Nibelungen, which holds great power. It's at Castle Dracula. His twin, Franz, a gambler, asks if vampires frighten Karl; Karl shows him an Egyptian amulet, which may protect him. Franz takes the amulet and sets out ahead of his brother, arriving at the castle first. There he finds a countess (played by Rosalba Neri - billed as Sara Bay) who invites him to dine.



Later that night, Karl arrives. Coincidentally, it's the Night of the Virgin Moon, a night that falls every fifty years and draws five virgins from the surrounding village to the castle not be heard from again. Can Karl protect his brother, find the ring, and rescue any of the women?

Happy Halloween Everybody!

Thanks to everyone in blogland for a great Halloween season! I haven't got to check out a lot of what everyone else did yet even though I've been sleep deprivating myself with it all for weeks, but that's why there's that extra month till xmas right? ;)

Whew! I'm going to get my posts for tonight up on my blogs, revel in the glory of All Hallows' Eve, and come the morning, I'm going to sleep for a week!

H-Night Final Countdown *01* - Azathoth's Halloween Frightcast

If you want, you can listen to a podcast of sounds and music I put together really quick for Halloween this year. I call it Halloween Frightcast.

You can also listen to my other holiday themed podcasts (which are in all honesty better because I had more time to make them) if you want, but don't do it on Halloween - really Christmas junk starts too bloody early already without you listening to Christmas stuff on Halloween.

And you can find my Halloween compilations from last year over HERE.
