In this low-budget gore-fest, a quintet of ceremonial magicians get more than they bargained for when they resurrect a Civil War soldier who comes back thirsty for revenge against the descendents of the men who falsely convicted and executed him for murder. Female nudity and graphic bloodshed abounds as the uncivil soldier gets his final revenge. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
Two sisters (Jane Johnstone, Kathy McHaley) seek vengeance when they are evicted from their farmhouse and a gunslinging sheriff shoots down their moonshining father. ~ John Bush, All Movie Guide

The good campy fun in this sci-fi horror movie really begins when the head of a racist mad scientist (Ray Milland) is sewn onto the shoulders of a large black convict (Rosie Grier) and the two heads begin fighting--literally trying to punch each other out--to control their shared body. The whole mess begins because the brain surgeon suffers from terminal cancer. He reasons that he will survive if he can transplant his head onto the shoulders of another. He and his team begin experimenting. First he has his head sewn to a gorilla (featuring a simian created by fledgling make-up artist Rick Baker). Something goes terribly wrong, he goes into a coma and when he wakes up, he finds himself having a permanent tete-a-tete with the wrongfully convicted Grier. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

In this western, a group of men travel deep into the mountains to create a gold-mining camp. Soon the campers find themselves bedeviled by a band of outlaws who destroy their food supply. When the miners begin pining for women, the leader and two miners go to town in search of prostitutes. They end up at the Fandango Saloon, where the leader is friends with the madam. Trouble ensues when the miners get caught in a gunfight with the outlaws. Shortly after the hookers are safely in camp, the outlaws and the miners tangle again until the feisty madam kills the gang leader and effectively restores the peace. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
Dr. Terror's Gallery of Horrors; Return from the Past; The Blood Suckers; Gallery of Horrors. No, that's not a quadruple feature at the Highway 194 Twin Drive-In. All four titles have been applied to the same film, which also travels under the name Alien Massacre. This multipart scarefest contains five short stories about magic, the occult, the "walking dead" and vampirism. John Carradine serves as narrator of "The Witch's Clock"; Lon Chaney Jr. plays a mad doctor in "The Spark of Life"; Vampire Mitch Evans figures into "Count Alucard"; "Monster Raid" features onetime movie ingenue Rochelle Hudson; and "King Vampire" spotlights a cast of no-names. The above-named veteran performers look suitably embarrassed in this low-budget farrago, which may not be the worst of its kind ever made, but certainly comes close. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

SS Captain Reichhart (George Backman) and his minions take sadistic delight in capturing and torturing American officers. Reichart's latest "catch" is none other than Lt. Hanley (Rick Jason) of King Company. Sgt. Saunders (Vic Morrow) must locate the Nazi's secret headquarters before it is too late for Hanley. Prominent in the supporting cast is future Star Trek costar Leonard Nimoy, adopting a German accent for the occasion. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

On patrol behind enemy lines, Saunders is rendered deaf by an exploding German grenade. Alone in a world of silence, the sergeant must somehow safely make his way back to his own lines. Ultimately, Saunders' only hope for survival rests with a stray dog which has attached itself to the hapless topkick. This episode was coscripted by My Three Sons star Tim Considine and his actor-screenwriter brother John Considine. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Saunders (Vic Morrow), Kirby (Jack Hogan) and Littlejohn (Dan Peabody) accompany a G-2 officer (Douglas Henderson) on a dangerous mission to rescue a wounded American war correspondent named Barton (Dan Duryea). Raising the stakes is the fact that Barton holds vital information that would prove disastrous if it fell into enemy hands. Only after their commanding officer is killed do Saunders and his men locate Barton--who reveals himself to be a craven coward and potential traitor! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Released theatrically as The Wizard of Mars, this incredibly strange (and cheap) science fiction spin on The Wizard of Oz involves the journey of a stranded rocketship crew (in the far-off future of 1975), which includes an astronaut named Dorothy (Eve Bernhardt). Low on oxygen and desperate to find their missing booster rocket, they stumble upon the ruins of an ancient civilization, through which winds a paved road... constructed of strangely-familiar yellow bricks. The road leads them to the central Martian (Emerald) city, in which they are greeted with a projected message from the Wizard himself (the ubiquitous John Carradine), who tells a melancholy tale of the Martian people's fate, brought upon them by their foolish manipulations of time itself. As his visage fades, he leaves them with a small piece of this time-altering technology, which allows them to return to their ship at a point in time before the accident. Though this may seem like a novel concept in print, this is not the film to carry it off -- writer-producer-director David Hewitt's reach far exceeds his grasp, thanks to the film's abysmally tiny budget of $33,000. Famous Monsters magazine founder Forrest J. Ackerman served as a technical advisor. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide
