Monsters Crash the Pajama Party Extras (on Monsters Crash the Pajama Party (Sinister Cinema)). [Category: Commerical]

Since Monsters Crash the Pajama Party is such a short film, Sinister Cinema threw some extra goodies on the tape. Before the film are three trailers from exploitation movies which may have been shown in the same theaters as Monsters. After the film is the trailer for Monsters and three live spook show promos, which are always great. These extras are a lot of fun and round out the tape well.


Highlights:


  • Great Moment in Bad Acting: Watch Timothy Farrell (always a sign of high quality cinema!) deliver the line, "You'll never get away with this!" in the trailer for Gun Girls.
  • Gimmick Alert! The trailer for Monsters informs us that it was filmed in "Fantastic HorrorVision"! This refers to the gimmick scene in the film where the mad scientist sends his assistants out into the audience to get a new victim for his experiments. During showings of the movie, ushers dressed as monsters actually went out into the audience and grabbed girls out of their seats. Eventually, the assistants reappear with a girl supposedly grabbed from the audience. To see how this actually came off, see the review of Monsters under "Hollywood" (still to come to this blog).
  • Great claims from the spook show promos: "See Dracula Change Into a Vampire Bat and Fly Out Into the Audience!" "Don't Be a Sissy! Come Even If Your Heart Is Weak!" "See the Girl Without a Middle and the Weird and Unusual Burning of a She-Devil!" "Can You TAKE IT?? Can You STAND IT??" "It's the Most Weird, Shocking, Amazing, Fascinating, Petrifying Horror Show Ever Produced on ANY Stage!"

Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: *****. Weirdness: ****. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ****.
