FOREWORD

ne morning in \981, my wife, Genevieve, and I opened OllT mail to

discover a hand-drawn rendition of an ancient Philco television set,
on the screen of which was scrawled the following mess;}ge:

AIR dAIRS CERF-

YOU NOIV HAVE A SUBSCRiPTION TO PSYC/JOTRONIC.'
FROIII ;lIICHIlELAIARSIf

Following this infonnation (just above the brightness knob on the Philco) was
an undecipherable signature.
All very mysterious. And a call to our friend Mr. Marsh was anything but
enlightening. "Just what is Psychotrcmic!" I asked. "You'll find Ollt. " he replied.
"Let's just say I wanted to give you the opportunity to study, on a wcck-to-week
ba~is, the development of a truly unique American mind."
AboUT a week later, the (Xlstman delivered our first opportunity (or study. It
consisted of severa l Xeroxed sheets of paper, each filled with tiny, and impeccably
neat, hand-printed script, broken on ly by the occasional odd illustration. And
when I say "odd," I mean it quite literally. The cover sheet, for example, was
graced by the photograph of a tiny soldier holding a huge hypodermic needle.
Next to him, anothe r soldier was bellowing into a megaphone which, incredibly,
was pointing almost straigh t up inTO the sky. The object of their attention: a 60-
foO( tall totally bald man dressed only
in a sarong , clutching a blonde in a
low-cut evening dress.
Psychorrollic, it seemed, was "New
York's weekly guide to television
movies-especially forgonen junk."
And the cover iIIustnnion was a sti ll
of the memorable "world's largest fix"
scene from The Amazing Colossal Man,
the "unbeatable '50s hit" that was
editor Michael Weldon's choice of
what TV had to offer us this week. The fatefulls51U' of Psycho-
The AmminK Colossal Man, the pains- tronic magaZine thar fint
takingly block-lettered text explained, sP<lrked Chriswpher Cerfs
interest in Michael Weldon.
was an anempt hy producer Bert I.
The original Psrchotronic
Gordon (the celebrated "Mr. B.I.G."
IogOlYpe was designed &,'
himself!) to cash in on the success of Sally Eckhoff.

vii
 Jack Arnold's The Incredible Shrinking Man. Bert'S credits, we soon learned,
included "producer, director, special effects (they're real shoddy), and co-writing
the scnpt" with Mark Hanna, whose Involvement to the creation of Attack of
the 50 Fr. Woman apparently made hll11 the most expeT1enced candidate for
the Job.
We watched The Amazmg Colossal Mall, of course. We also watched The
Angry Red Planer, filmed In Ci nemaglc ("which means things change color a
lot"), Run of the Arrow ("I could explain how Rod SteIger manages to shoot
Ralph Meeker twice with the same bullet, but you wouldn't believe me") , and
even los Morutnws del TerroT ("Sound dumb! Try to imagine what was going
through Michael Rennie's mind whIle he was acting in rhls dubbed mess. ") In
short, we were hooked.

Our next insight into MIChael Weldon's "truly unique American mind"
came a few weeks later. I was in front of the televi~lon set, dutifully watching
Frallkcll.lleill Meets the SlxJCe MOIlSIl.'T" ("You really llWC it w yourself w watch
this-it's the wurst"). The evil Princes~ Marcuzan and her dwarf assistant Nadir
had just arrived in Puertu Rico when my wife, who was downsmirs reading next
week's PsychorTonie, called to me. "Gadzooks!" she exclaimed. "He's got Gone
With the Wind in here!"
"He docs!" [ answered. "What's he
got w say about it!"
" He says it's worth watching because
the guy who designed the sets also
worked on The Man III the Iron Mruk ."
"My God, what consistency!" I
marvelled. "I've got to meet this
MIchael Weldon!"
And so 11 was that, rhe fo llowing
Saturday, Michael Marsh and I found
ourselves srandmg m front of a dilapi-
dated browosmne on New York's East
9th Street, shouting up at a third-floor
wmdow ("The doorbell's our of order,"
MIchael Weldon had told us on the
phone, " but ['II be watching for you
... "). Momen ts later, we were sining
in a tiny walk-up apartment, wedged
between a shelf full of old movie books,
~eve ral piles of magazines (including
what seemed like thousands of
MiCll£IeI Wddflrl (I f home copies of PsychotrOllic), and Weldon's remarkahly cluttered worktable. ''I'm really
sorry about rhe doorbell," our host expkuned. "We're on a rent strike now,
M) [ can't get it fixed."

"Will the strike end soon!" we asked.

"[ hope not," he answered. " [( I had to pa~' rent, I couldn't afford to put out
my magazine "

Vlll
With the preliminaries Out of the way, Weldon proceeded to tackle our long
list of questions about PsychotTonic. "The name, as you've probably guessed.
was originally mc,mt to suggest a combination of weird horror films and elec-
tronic gadget-filled science fiction movies," he told us. "[ thought I'd made it up,
but it later turned our I'd stolen it from The Psychotranic Man, ,1 Chicago-made
film about a maniac barber who kills people with psychic energy. After a while,
[ began to use the term 'psychoTronic' as an adjeccive, to descrihc all the
different kinds of movies that interest Int', " And what, specifically, were those?
"Well, monster and science-fiction films. of cnurse. Bur exploitation films of any
sort. really: biker movies, rock 'n' roll movies, musclemen movies, }·O movies,
'60s beach movies, Mexican movies with subtitles- you get the idea ..
Particularly fascinating to Weldon are wh;}t he termed "grade-Z" movies: films
produced so incompetently, or on such impoverished budgets, that they have
no chance of being rele;}sed through even the sleaziest of regul;}r distribution
channels. "Well. sometimes they open on 42nd ~tTl~et for a couple of d;}ys,"
Weldon said, " but they close right aw;}y, never to be seen in a the;}ter ;}gain.
The rest of them never make it to the;}ters at all. To cam back at least some of
their mane)" the producers are forced to sell their pr()(luct directly to TV. As a
result, there's almost no informat ion avai lable aiX)ut these films." Except, of
course, for th;}t which Weldon has culled from poring through thousands of
outdated "famines" and promotion pieces- and, not surprisingly, from countless
all-night marathons in front of the TV screen.
What triggered Michael Weldon's peculiar obsession! ·'It's kind of hard to sa)" "
he told us. "When I was growing up in Cleveland, my grandfather had a friend
who owned a theater, and, as a result, I got in free every Wednesday night.
They didn 't show many 'psychotron ic' fi lms, though-they spec ialized more in
your John Frankenheimer-type maimtream adventures. But, when I got older,
I used to sneak out of school and go to rhe Hippodrome or the Embassy Theaters,
wnere you could see several films a day-most of them really junky ones- without
having to spend more than a dollar or so. I got really addicted to monster mag;}-

ix
 zincs, too-monsters, as you may recall, were very big in the '60s. My grades got
worse and worse all the time, of course, and finally one day my dad gathered up
all my monster magazines and tossed them in the garbage."
When I was a kid, my father once squeezed his way into my junk-filled bed-
room and threw out my entire collenion of New York Rangers hockey programs.
So I had immediate sympathy. "And it was the scars of this horrible experience
that made off-beat films the focus of your entire life!" I theorized.
"I don't think so," Weldon responded. "But I guess what happened made me
more determined than ever to play hooky and go to the movies."
Whatever factors first contributed to Michael Weldon's taste in cinema, there is
no question that he was profoundly influenced by a petformer named "Ghoulardi,"
the host of a late-night horror-movie show on Cleveland's local CBS affiliate.
"When a TV station wants to buy the rights to show a particular movie," Weldon
explained, "they're almost always fo rced to invest in a couple of clinkers, too, as
part of the package. Ghoulardi was the guy who had to show the clinkers."
Ghoulardi, it seemed, had made the best of his unenviable fate by adopting a
weird costume and an anarchist-beatnik persona; after a while, he even began
cutdng himself into the films his employers ordered him to show. Before he knew
it he had become a cult hero, at least among a certain segment of C leveland's
youth. "One day," Weldon reminisced, "Ghoulardi made a special live appear-
ance at the auditorium near my school- the very same auditorium where the
Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival is usually held. He showed some terrible film
clips, and then, using firecrackers, he blew up some skulls and model cars right on
the stage. Kids were throwing their own firecrackers, too; it was really terrific!"
Perhaps the most important event in Weldon's career- even more important,
if such is possible, than his discovery ofGhoulardi-was the fortuitous purchase,
by his friend Gary Dumm, of fifty year's worth of bound volumes of the Middleroum
(Ohio) News. "Gary bought them only for the comic strips," Weldon told us,
"and he didn't care at all about anything else in the paper. So, as long as they
weren't on the backside of the comic pages, I was allowed to clip out any movie
ads or articles I wanted. That's where a lot of the data in my files-and many
of the illustrations I've used in Psychotmnic- originally came from."
So much for history. What of the future? Weldon sighed deeply, and got up to
fetch Michael Marsh and me some tea. "Well," he said dreamily, "first of all
I'd like to make enough money so I could actually get my magazine printed,
instead of having to Xerox it each week at the office where Sally, my girl-
friend, works.
"Then, there's the book. I'd Jove to compile a reference book , so people could
look up any 'psychotronic' films they were interested in on a title-by-title basis.
A book like that would also make it possible for people to trace the careers of
actors and directors-not just the ones who've fallen on hard times and can only
get parts in Z pictures, but also film-makers and performers who got their start
in exploitation films-and then went on to do really im(Xlrtant things. Did you
know, for example, that Francis Ford Coppola once made a 3-D nud ie movie
called The Playgirls and the BeUboy!
"Then, finally, I'd like to do something about 42nd Street. There are a lot of
developers and (Xlliticians these days who want to "clean up" 42nd Street; you
know, tear down all the old $2. 50-for-a-triple-bill movie theaters and replace

,
 them with hote ls and bomiques and ,
thmb'S like thal. " Weldon's eyes grew
mIsty. "Wou ldn't It be great," he said ,
"If we could sum a 'Save 42nd Street
Commiucc'-one whose goal was to
keep thl~~s there ju.sr the way they
are now!

Almost three years have passed since

the day I first met Michael Weldon.
The rent-strike in his building ended
many months ago, bringing with it a
newly-repaired doorbell, but, sad ly, at
least a temporary end to the regular
publication of Psychorronic magazine.
Weldon's other plans, however. are
faring considerably bener. Linle
progress has been made on New York City's ambitious plan to clean up
42nd Street. And, far mo re important, the incredible volume ~'ou now hold in
~'o ur hands has been researched, wrinen, and published. No longer need you
WOITy about missing a terrific "scient ist-kills-beautifu l-women-i n-order-to-graft-
rheir-skin -onw-his-horribly-scarred-wifelgirJ(riendldaughter" movie si mply be-
cause your local paper failed to appreciate its true value. Never again need you
risk watching Necromancy withom realizing that the fat aClOr with the beard and
fake nose is actually Orson Welles. Maybe-just maybe -there's hope yet for
commerc ial TV....

 IN TRODUCTION

hi! Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film celebrates o ver 3,()(X) movies often

treated with indifference or contempt by other movie guides. Most of
them arc considered exploitation films. Some of them were made with such
im(Xlssibly low budgets that they have never been released through regular
channels of distribution. Many are now considered classics or cult films despite
unfavorable critical response or initial box office failure. C ritics searching for an
condemn most of these features for the very reasons that millions continue to
enjoy them: violence, sex, no ise, and often mindless escapism.
Ps),chorronic films range from sincere social commentary to degrading trash.
They concern teenagers. rock 'n' roll, juvenile delinquents, monsters, aliens,
killers, spies. detectives. bikers. comm unists, drugs, natural catastrophes, atomic
bombs, the prehistoric past, and the projected future. They star ex-models.
ex-sports stars, would-be Marilyns, fUnlre Presidents (and First Ladies), dead
rock stars, and has-beens of all types.
Although we have tried to be encyclopedic, we cannot claim to have
included eve ry potent ially Psychotronic film ever released in America, nor have
we seen all of the ones listed in the book. Some fi lms are released onl y regionally.
some are here and gone in a matter of days; some are so obscure that it's hard
to track down any infonnat io n abom rhem at all. We've had to be somewhat
arbitrary in deciding what to include. We've concentr.ned on the genres that we
enjoy the most: horror, teen movies, and science fiction. We've also tried to
document the careers o f significant Psychocronic actors and actresses. Films in
which they appear are noted throughout, even if the mov ies ate otherwise
unremarkable.
Certain horror greats receive special attention : Boris Karloff. Peter Lorre,
Be la Lugosi, and V incent Pric e. These ac tors have such a powerful and immedi-
ate presence that anything they appear in becomes special in a way that has
nothing to do with the subjec t matter or qua lity of the film. So while we're
more concerned with Panic in the Year Zero and Hot Rods w HeU, don't be
surprised to find reviews (or Nirlorchka (with Lugosi) and Keys of t~ Kingdom
(with Price) in this book. The mere p<lrticipation of these stars makes these films
Psychotronic.
The same applies to certain behind-the-scenes personalities. Whether good or
bad. the films of many producers and directors are consistently Psychotronic, so
we've included representative features fro m the emire range of theiT work. Many
of these filmmakers arc known for o nly a small part of their output, an unfair
perception which we've tried to correct. If you like Roger Corman's Link Shopo{
Horrors or T~ Pit and the Pendulum . you should try his gangster, rock 'n' roll,
and Westem features. A lbert Zugsmith directed the notorious Sex KitU'ru Go w

xii
Cullege, bur he also proouced The Incredible Shrinking Man and Touch of Evil.
The PS)'chorronic Encyclopedia of Film includes features made in the e,nly '30s
through 1982, but since we grew up in the '50s and '60~, our favorites mostly
come from those two decades. Films made from rhe time of television's mass
acceptance in the '50s to the creation of the current (i nadequ,lte) rating system
in November 1968 are often the most interesting. During this perioo Hollywood
was desperately trying to lure audiences away from their home screens and
compete with the European imports while putting up with an outdated,
puritanical censorship board. Theatergoers were rewarded with teenage rebellion,
worldwide desrTllction, a potent but acceptable dose of sex and sadism. and
gimmic kry of all kinds, including 3-D and Cinerama. The so-called "adulrs-
onl y" movies of the perioo arc so tame that tcxiay they'd probably be rated R or
PG, but they remain fascinating historical documents of a more innocent time.
Today there are more ways to watch Psychnrronic films than ever before. We're
in the midsr of an astounding boom in the cable lclevi~ion and home video
indu~trie~. Movies that most people didn't bother to sec in the theater turn up
within months on cable. Movies that would have remained unreleased or
unseen except by collectors are now available to a vast market of viewers in the
comfort of their ho mes. The promotional hype that once lured or tricked a
person into spending a few bucks to see a movie is now being used to convince
him to spend $60 to buy a videocassette of a film that in many cases would have
put him to sleep or sent him to the exit door~ in a theater. The lack of
information available about the obscure films now being watched and even
purchased by millions or bored comumer~ is staggering:. This lxx:.k attempts to
remedy that problem for discriminating viewers of the more bizarre, ~hocking.
and unclassifiabJe muvie~ available.
We've made every effOTT to include as much interesting and relevant infonnation
as possible, while keeping the entries brief and to the point. We've also tried to
il lustrate the text where possible with original ad mat~ and unusual sti lls , most of
which have not been used in :my other film IXlOk and many of which have never
before been seen in print anywhere. Many of these illustrations were acquired
over the years from stil l ~hops and junk sales; many other~ were borrowed or
rented from film collectors.
We hope that The Ps)"Chorronic Encyclopedia of Film will introduce you to new
realms of cinemat ic enjoyment.

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

All films reviewed in this book arc listed alphabetically by title. If the film
was originally released in a foreign country, the origin,ll foreign-language title
is also indicated in the entry. If the film was released under ~cveral Engllsh-
language titles, it is listed by the title it was originally rel('a~t'd under or the one
it is best known by, and the alternate title~ arl' indicated in the entry. If you look
it up under one of the alternate titles, you wi!! be referred to the title it is
di;;cusS(..J unde r.
Below the title, the year of the film's release is given. If the film was never
released theatrically or released yc,lrs after its completion, the ye,IT it wa~ made

XI1\
 is given. Following the date ;s the name of the American distributor, preceded
where applicable by well -known (oreign production companies such as Hammer
and Toho. When a fi lm was distributed by more than one company over the
years, the original distributo r is listed when possible . Made-fa r-television movies
are indicated by "TV" instead of a distributor. When the film was not made by
an American production company, the country of origin o r the co-producing
nations are also indicated.
Since color has been the norm (or SO long, we nOle when a fi lm was made in
black-and-white or in parlial color. If the film was made in J-D, that is also
indicated, even if it was issued flat.
For each entry, we have made every efforlto c ite the producer, director, and
screenwriter o( the film. However, complete screen credits proved impossible to
find (or some of the more obscure (eatures that were never reviewed by trade
publications or have incomplete credits in the prints. Sometimes we have given
a substitute credit- for example, "Associate Producer" instead of"Producer"-
when the one we were looking (or was unavailable .
After the review, we give the MPAA rating if it was R, X, or M (for
"mature"-a rating used briefly instead of PG in 1968- 1969). Films released
before November 1968, made-for-television movies, and features released
directly to television or videocassette companies are unrated.
Some o( the reviews in the book were written by C harles Beesley, Bob
Martin, and Akira Fitton. Their initials appear at the end of each entry they
wrote.
We base our reviews on theatrical viewing whenever possible. Films made
after the late '60s obviously suffer when CUt for commercial television, and no
film benefits (rom constant interruption for commercials.
We've tried to indicate thro ughout which movies have sound track albums in
print. Most of those that remain in print for longer than a few mo nths are on the
Yarest Sarabande label.
Unlike many movie guides, this book does not give star ratings. If a film is
especially good, bad, laughable , or boring we say so. Otherwise, we prefer to
give you the facts and let you decide. People who enjoy the more unusual
features tend to select them on the basis o( the subject maner, stars, director,
or company rather than somebody e lse's arbitrary and si mplistic tating system.

THE STUDIOS
Knowing which company released a film can often tell you what to expect,
but sometimes just knowing the name of the offi cial distributor isn't enough.
The relationships between many film companies featured prominently in this
book have been obscured over the years by company name changes, the
creation of subsidiaries, and corporate takeovers. This sectio n outlines the
history of some of the major distributors of Psychotronic films.
Probably the most important company in this book is American International
Pictures (AlP). Founded in 1954 as American Releasing Corporafion (ARC)
by Samuel Z. Arkoff and the late James Nicholson, AlP ( 1956-1980) defined

xiv
the postwar youth-oriented feature. Shortly after it~ 25th anniversa ry, the
company was purchased by outsiders ;md renamed Filmways. Soon thereafter,
Filmways was engulfed by Orion. The current regime may prNend to be
disengaged from its exploitative past, but recent releases like Amit)'ville 3-D
indicate tbat its A lP origins linger.
During its heyday, AlP had several subsidiaries. Filmgroup made some of
the more offbeat features (often produced or directed by AlP standby Roger
Corman). By the [ate '60s more lurid features dealing with sex and drugs were
released by Trans-Americ'lIl. During the '70s. Hallmark released the most
shocking of the \ffiOStly European) horror acquisitions. AlP-TV released dozens
of Mexican, Japanese, :mel European films directly to American television. [t
also somet.imes made extremely cheap feacures to be sold as part of TV package
deals.
Many favorites that f<lns assume to be frum AlP were actually made by Allied
Artists, a company whose [<lrter history and output were similar to AlP's.
Monogram (1930-1953), the well-known king of l-iollyw()(xI's poverty row
studios, changed its name to Allied Artists in 1953 and continued m<lking cheap
youth-oriented features and releasing foreign horror films until the late '70s.
Producers Releasing Corporation (PRC), <In even sma1!er studio founded in
the '305, became Eagle Lion in 1947. By 1951 that company had been
SW<lHowed up by United ArtiSTS. The (mostly awful) UA horror films of the '50s
have their roots in PRe.
Other studios releasing more than their sh<lre of Psycholronic films are the old
Repuhlic (1935-1959) and RKO (1929-1959). Ouring the '50s, Astor, OCA,
Howco, and Lippert were quite active. Re<ll<lrt, a company that began <lS a
vehicle for re-releasing old Univers<ll horror films, also made its own features.
James Nicholson, a co-founder of AlP, W<lS a high-ranking executive at Realart.
Imp:mant independent comp;mies aCTive in the '60s include Box Office
International, Fairway International, Fanfare, Geneni, Hemisphere, Barry
Mahon, and Wool ncr Brothers. L<lrry Woolner later helped Roger Corman

International. an exploitation company going back to the '50s, is still going
strong. Smal1 companies currently turning out PsychutTOnic fi lms include
Independent-International, Motion PiCTure Marketing (MPM), World Northa],
United, 21st Century, Film Ventures, Group I, and Jensen Farley. Cannon and
New World (recently sold by Roger Corman) are today's biggeST independents.
Major studios th<lt lost their identities years ago are Universal (the oldest
studio in existence, founded in 1912), Paramount (1930- ), 20th Century-
Fox (founded as Fox in 1915, which merged with the new 20th Century
corporation in 1935), and Columbia (1924- ). MGM (1924- ) and
United Art ists (1919- ) are now merged as MGM/UA. Warner Brothers
(1923- ) purchased First National in 1928, which released films through
Warner Brothers until 1938. During 1967 -1968, Warner Brmhers WflS known
as Warner 8rO!hers-Scven Arts or just Scven Arts.
Embassy was founded in the laIC '50s by Joseph E. Levine and laler purchased
to become Avco Embassy. It relea~cd foreign fcatures directly to television as
well as the f<lrnili<lr domestic releases. Thc company was recently purchased by

xv
 Norman Lear and is now known o nce aga in as Embassy.
Foreign studios of note include Japan's To llo and its riva l, Daei. In England
the international success of Hammer Stud10s set the stage for Amicus and
Tigon, all of which specialized in horror features. Some of the most interesting
British horror fi lms of the '50s and '60s, however, were from the liule-known
Anglo Amalgamated.

four sequels. Howard Vernon stars as

daughter. Of course he has to kidnap
beautiful women in order to perform
skin-graft operations. The real star,
