Atom Age Vampire: When blond-bombshell stripper Jeanette Moreneau (Susanne Loret) is disfigured in a car crash, she is miraculously healed by a serum created by the depraved Professor Levin (Albert Lupo), who falls in love with his patient. Unfortunately, the cure is only temporary and the mad professor has to resort to gruesome measures in order to keep her beauty sustained. He kills his female assistant and other innocent women and uses their glands to keep Jeanette looking good. Levin also undergoes an appalling physical change, transforming into a hideous Mr. Hyde-like killer. Beast From Haunted Cave: A group of criminals plot a heist in a North Dakota gold mining town. When they take refuge in an isolated cabin, their plans are disrupted by an encounter with a horrendous blood sucking monster. One of the criminals develops a psychic connection to the creature after it devours his girlfriend. The monster tracks them down and decimates the group one by one. The survivors are forced to find shelter in a haunted cave, where they engage in a death-dealing confrontation with the prehistoric mutant. Intelligently written by the prolific Charles B. Griffith (who was also responsible for Roger Corman's The Little Shop Of Horrors, It Conquered the World, Not Of this Earth, Attack of the Crab Monsters and many, many others). Beast From the Haunted Cave was filmed back-to-back with Corman's Ski Troop Attack, which utilized the same cast and much of the same crew and snow-bound locations. This was also the first film by the extremely talented, but eccentric director, Monte Hellman, who went on to direct a pair of existential westerns starring Jack Nicholson and the cult classic, Two-Lane Blacktop (1971). Carnival Of Souls: An introverted church organ player named Mary (Candace Hilligoss), mysteriously emerges onto a river bank dazed and uninjured hours after a serious car accident. Mary is pursued by a terrifying, ghoulish apparition beckoning her. Although she tries to run from this grinning stalker and the nightmarish goings-on in an old pavilion, there is no escaping the fate that awaits her. It is nearly impossible to watch this film and not be haunted by its combination of music, silence and imagery. For nearly four decades, Carnival of Souls has been a classic of low-budget horror. It is, most amazingly, the first and only feature film made by director Herk Harvey and writer John Clifford. Night of the Living Dead: No other movie can scare the living daylights out of you as The Night Of the Living Dead can. Many others have tried to imitate the zombified horror of the Living Dead but none have equaled the shock and sheer terror of this, the original. George Romero's horror masterpiece opens as radiation fallout from an aborted rocket launch turns corpses into mindless zombies. Soon the countryside is crowded with wandering monsters looking to satisfy their insatiable hunger for human flesh. The tension builds as the number of seemingly unstoppable zombies and their helpless victims grows. The terror is all-consuming as the film ruthlessly hurtles towards its shattering conclusion.
