Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster

THE BAD FILM SOCIETY CELEBRATES ITS
8th YEAR, 5 MONTH ANNIVERSARY!!

Yes, The Bad Film Society crashed to Earth 8 years and 5 months ago in November, 2000. It was a kinder and gentler time, an innocent time, before 9/11, before the atomic bomb, before the Peloponnesian War. To celebrate, The Bad Film Society will recreate that first joyous event on Sunday, April 26th at 6PM downstairs in The Ashland Elks’ Dungeon!

No film since that first night has compared with the audaciously appalling dreadfulness of that first feature, Frankenstein Meets The Space Monster from 1965. Super-hot Martian Princess Marcuzan and her bald effeminate dwarf assistant Nadir travel to Puerto Rico to kidnap fertile female specimens to repopulate their dying planet. Meanwhile, android Captain Frank Saunders becomes Frankenstein, a hideously disfigured kill-crazed astro-robot when the Martians shoot down his space capsule.

Wildly go-going bikini girls from a wild poolside party are rescued when scientists rewire Frank to battle a horrible alien mutant! A not-to-be-missed masterpiece!

Plus Archivist Steven Mayerson will screen a review of the best-of-the-best worst-of-the-worst shorts from past shows.

Also stay tuned the second chapter of the serial, Tiger Woman from 1944. Evil oil speculators in South America attempt to drive away an exotic native tribe and their hot queen, the Tiger Woman…but she’s a white woman and might be the lost heiress to a vast fortune! Actually The Tiger Woman wore a leopard-spotted outfit because the studio couldn't find any tiger patterned fabric! It’s a howler!

Members should bring some great food for a scrumptious potluck dinner before the feature. Some bottom feeders just come for the great food! It sure beats dumpster diving!
