Saturday Favorites!


The Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra: This is one of my favorite movies of all time, you have mad scientists, bug-eyed monsters, alien invaders, a lost Skeleton, ranger Brad and Animala to entertain you. It is a low budget black and white independent sci-fi movie spoof of 1950's b-movies. It was written and directed by Larry Blamire who also play the Dr. Paul Armstrong and did the voice of the Skeleton. Everything about this movie is over the top cheese and I love every minute of it. It has a great cast and a great story line. It is about Dr. Paul Armstrong who is a scientist studying alien rock formations that have crashed to Earth. When Armstrong and his wife Betty (the wife of a scientist) learn that a cache of Atmospherium, a radioactive mineral found in meteorites, has been found in the desert, he sets out to find it, but he has competition. Dr. Fleming, a rival scientist who plans to use the high-powered substance to bring a cave-dwelling creature back to life (the Skeleton). Meanwhile, Lattis and Kro-Bar are aliens from the planet Marva who have crash-landed on Earth and need Atomspherium to get their spacecraft back in the air. Hoping to foil the plans of Dr. Armstrong, and aware of the arrival of the aliens, Fleming steals a "Transmutaron" from Kro-bar that allows him to create Animala out of forest animals, a sultry neo-beatnik who will crash the Armstrong's cocktail party and sow the seeds of marital discord between Paul and Betty, making it easier for Fleming to recover the valuable rock formations. And of course you have a alien monster who is loose and doing some damage as well. Such a great movie for sci-fi lovers.
