Dinosaurus!
For a Thanksgiving theme, the feature will be
the supremely worst reptilian turkey of a movie,
Dinosaurus! from 1960. One night, during a storm,
dinosaurs that have been frozen in suspended animation
for millions of years are struck by lightning and
come alive to wreak havoc on an exotic tropical
island. Also awoken is an amiable brute of a caveman
who, along with the Brontosaurus get into a series
of wacky, dangerous and romantic misadventures.
And don't forget all the typecast characters:
the beautiful blonde femme fatale, the handsome
dark haired hero, the goofy little kid, the fat
man, the drunk Irish guy (dinofood...), Hispanic
maids who know how to make Molotov cocktails because
there was a revolution where they used to live
and don't forget the evil guy and his two stupid
flunkies.
Stanley Cortez,
the brilliant cinematographer who filmed Citizen
Kane may have been slumming here, but his images
are splendid, the color is rich and saturated,
and the action wild! The Director Irvin Shortess "Shorty"
Yeaworth, Jr. also directed The Blob and before
he died, he was building a theme park called The
Jordanian Experience in Jordan! Ludicrously obsessive
film archivist, Steven Mayerson will screen kooky
dinosaur and caveman themed rarities before the
feature.

Also stay tuned for the 3rd episode of the serial
The Lost Planet
from 1953!
On the par with an Ed
Wood movie, it’s considered the worst serial
ever made with
unintentionally hilarious dialogue like "How
are we going to find it,
it's the Lost Planet." It was the last sci-fi
serial ever made…for good
reason.
The TV Dinner potluck is open to all members before
the feature.
