The Horror of Party Beach

[ctc]

So;

THIS was the feature on the Chiller Drive-In this week, and it's a film I haven't seen since I was a kid. It's quite possibly THE GREATEST monster movie ever made! IF you're into old B-movies. If not, then it's possibly the WORST monster movie ever made. Seriously, the monsters are radioactive hive-mind plant/protozoa undead zombies created from toxic waste and human skeletons. The only way that could be COOLER is if they were pirate skeletons. (Which the film doesn't make clear, so I'm gonna imagine they were pirate skeletons.)

Now, I can remember another movie that was very similar; but it turns out the monster was actually a demented special effects guy. And it's not "How To Make a Monster." The one I'm thinking of takes place on a beach, and is just like this film, except for the end. Anyone remember the name of the other film?

One of the best MST movies ...

"hotdogs !!!"

[megoapesnut]

Was it Blood Beach?

[palitoy]

Blood Beach has a bonfied monster at the end, I think I know the one you're talking about Don. Wish I got that channel, that show looks like fun.

[mazinz]

Wish I had that channel to. By me channel 5 (now fox NY) used to show horror of party beach all the time on tv. I picked up the uncut dvd version from darkysky films.

I suppose you are not recording these chiller drive in specials are you?

[thunderbolt]

That was the one with the monster with a mouth full of hotdogs. yeah, that was scarrrry.

>Blood Beach has a bonfied monster at the end

That's the one with the thing under the sand, isn't it? I haven't seen THAT one for a while either.

>I think I know the one you're talking about

It's another old one.... mid to late 60's. I THINK it was in colour. I remember it played out a lot like Horror of Party Beach, except the big twist is the monster isn't real.

Oh man.... this is gonna bug me for a long time....

>I suppose you are not recording these chiller drive in specials are you?

THIS one I did, mostly 'cos I wanted a copy of the film; even if it is diced up MST-style. (I'm kinda planning a Mego scaled version of the monster.... although in the movie there seems to be two DIFFERENT kinds of monster. Not sure if that's intentional, or the result of cheap costuming.)

>That was the one with the monster with a mouth full of hotdogs.

Yeah!

>that was scarrrry.

Do you know what's IN a hotdog....?

I love both Party Beach and Blood Beach.

Man, that last one. That's somewhere in the early 80s?

[mazinz]

I was fortunate enough to copy blood bleach on dvd a number of years ago thanks to the fact that a mom and pop video store still had it for rent

Love to get a copy of your chiller drive in Party beach. Yes they did have more than one type of monster. It was another mutant thing that formed over the pirate bones. It was great when they wiped out that slumber party

[johnnystorm]

Never saw the film, but I used to have the comic book. It was actually one of those photo-comic type magazines with stills from the film used instead of drawings. Here's an example, you can usually find a copy for $3-4 bucks.

Yeah! That monster was kooky!

>is it" the incredible carzy mixed up teenagers who stop living and became zombies"

Nah, that's a very different film. I THINK the one with the fake monster was "Beach Girls and the Monster" aka "Monster From the Surf."

[thunderbolt]

^^^Yeah, Monster from the Surf. At Disney/MGM in the SciFi Dine in theatre, they show the trailer from Horror of Party Beach and someone in there besides me usually yells hot dogs.

Dark Sky films put out a dvd of this a few years ago. If they are at the upcoming SFX show I may pick it up. I recall them having a number of those Warren magazines on their table, the ones featuring the movie I mean. Is it worth a few bucks?
