Lockout Theater: Horror of Party Beach (1964)

As usual, offshore dumping of radioactive waste - (thank you, military-industrial-complex) - turns dead people into monsters. Filmed on Shippan Point, a wealthy section of Stamford, Ct, and featuring the incredible Del-Aires. Can cool teens get their noses out of each other's birth canals and save the world? Surf's up, daddy-o! The biker gang was played by a motorcycle club from nearby Riverside. The monster costumes were too small for the stunt man, so his son was recruited. The blood is chocolate syrup. Part of the seed money came from a drive-in movie owner in Albany, NY. As a promotion, movie-goers had to sign a vow releasing the theater from liability if they die from fright.

In 1964, Buck Showalter was nine. Watch the trailer... if you dare.

Oh, and fuck MLB.

It started with "Urgent Warning!", but for some reason my addled brain read it as "Unguent Warning!"

Maybe the unguent scenes got cut in the final edit.
