We watch these type films all the time and I often turn to Brad and say 'they just don't make movies like this anymore' and he replies, 'thank God'.

Oh, there is always a little kid in these who knows it all. Especially in Kaiju films (Godzilla) We'll call him 'Kenny'.

Do they really think really wide jodphurs are less offensive than a woman wearing trousers?

The subtitles said (tense music), and I cannot disagree.

The Aztecs used hieroglyphics?

Not aa such. But they sure saved money by shooting in the dark for the most part, or was it the sets were so bad, they were trying to hide them?

I think the reawakened weirdo has had a dose of whatever it is they use in Project Avalon.

Popoca, no!

Lots of grunting. Can't fault them for effort.

Thanks for the exposition, Mr.

But Popoca was in love with her, wasn't he?

Is that the same mummy from B7 Killer?

Dr. Krupp is Batman?

You know how it is, mummy meets girl, mummy kidnaps girl, mummy tries to sacrifice girl- it's always the the same plot!

Possibly. Maybe this is where I started geting confused.

Dr. Krupp reminds me of 'Wolfman Jack' a radio DJ who made it big in the 80's showing late night music videos!

I love that the entire film is done with flash backs!

Do you notice in these films, no woman goes around in flannel pajamas- only these ultra feminine gowns.

I'm just waiting for the robot. And thinking of robots, Robot Monster is a really good Crud film! Quite funny, unintentionally, that is.

For the same reason as they insist on jodphurs, probably.

Where is the robot? And is it the one with the flashing groin?

We could use some more light in this film, any way possible.

Low-budget lighting!

I love how the night scenes are shot in this sort of red-sepia light. Makes it look like they shot this with night-vision goggles.

I don't think post-hypnotic suggestion works like this!

Yes, one of those common incorrect tropes.

Used red filters to make it look like night? Cheaper than working at night using enough lights to make it filmable.

Oh, that's a bad mock-up of a cemetery. Only better by a hair than the Plan 9 From Outer Space cemetery where the plywood 'stone's rock back and forth when someone walks past!

The bloke with the big (trademark Mexican) moustache has a weird accent. Is he suppoesed to be English?

Entirely possible. I'm still giggling over the shrill voice of the little female child.

The set dressing is a good example of what people thought classy 50's homes should look like. Yuck!

Argh!! I thought we were getting somewhere and now we're back to flashbacks!
