When a hot blond is horribly disfigured in an accident, a wacky scientist develops a treatment that restores her beauty and falls in love with her. To preserve her appearance the doctor must give her additional treatments using glands taken from murdered women. His odd ability to turn into a monster helps with this problem but does nothing to win her love. It only goes further downhill from there.
A wealthy man and his conniving wife invite 5 complete strangers to spend a night in a haunted house - with the promise of $10,000 to anyone that can survive till morning! The doors are locked, there’s no way out and not everyone will live through the night!
The kooky Dr. Cortner and his beautiful fiancée Jan, take a trip to his weekend retreat. But a horrible car accident decapitates Jan and the doc collects her severed head and rushes it to his laboratory, where he revives it and manages to keep it alive in a cookie sheet. Now the doc needs a new body so he can make Jan whole again!
Gamera, the giant flying turtle, returns to Chiller Drive-In for another rubber suit monster mash! This time, Gamera takes on the rainbow spewing monster Barugon... who seems to get an awful lot of screen time (he must have been related to the director). The disrespect doesn’t stop there, but surprisingly Gamera even takes the mispronouncing of his name all in stride. What a turtle.
A creepy doctor catches his wife fooling around with another man, so he does what any normal guy would do: he tortures and shocks them and removes their hearts. Then he marries his ex’s mentally disturbed sister – who is plagued by nightmares after moving in with the doctor. Barbara Steele digs deep to play a dual role of a blond AND a brunette in this gothic horror great.
It’s the classic black comedy about Seymour, a doofus that somehow breeds a meat eating plant. As the plant grows it demands bigger meals, so Seymour has to resort to murder to keep it fed. Don’t miss Jack Nicholson in one of his earliest roles.
Madeleine is a hottie and every guy in this film seems to fall for her. And the only way to get a babe like her is to have a Haitian witch doctor turn her into a zombie. Starring Bela Lugosi in one of his best performances. Who will end up getting the girl? Watch it and find out!
We're getting buff and oiling up our beefy bods with Alan Steel in "Hercules Against The Moon Men." Hercules comes to the city of Samar to oppose the evil Queen Samara, who has allied herself with moon aliens! She's so rotten, she even sacrifices her own people to help the moon men awaken their goddess. Odd how the women wear more clothes than the men do in this flick...
Oh yeah, you're thinking, "Aw, it's just a rehash from last year." Come on! Would we do that to you? There are new gags in the movie and an old enemy has returned to the Chiller Drive-In to ruin everyone's holiday! And we think you'll agree that NOTLD is one flick that we can show every year and not feel guilty about it.
