MILL CREEK NIGHTMARE WORLDS: Invasion from Inner Earth (1974)
Also known as Hell Fire and They — the title Mill Creek used for the box set — this Bill Rebane film was written by his wife Barbara and reminds me of another of his movies, The Alpha Incident, as while it’s supposedly about an alien invasion, most of it takes place in one room. An epidemic is […]
MILL CREEK NIGHTMARE WORLDS: Beast of the Yellow Night (1971)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This was originally on the site on January 17, 2020. Eddie Romero directing and John Ashley starring? That was all I really needed to know. Man, anything remotely connected with these two — like the Blood Island films — and I’m ready to go. This was also the first release for Roger Corman’s distribution […]
MILL CREEK NIGHTMARE WORLDS: Attack from Space (1964)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This was originally on the site on May 14, 2021. There are nine Super Giant films and all of them were brought to the U.S. by Medallion Films, who turned them into four movies. This story would be The Artificial Satellite and the Destruction of Humanity and The Spaceship and the Clash of […]
MILL CREEK NIGHTMARE WORLDS: The Alpha Incident (1978)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This was first on the site on November 15, 2018. The first Bill Rebane movie I saw was the berserk Tiny Tim vehicle Blood Harvest. Once I realized that The Alpha Incident— one of his older efforts — is on so many Mill Creek box sets — I jumped on it. https://dailymotion.com/video/x2857xs Much like Night […]
MILL CREEK NIGHTMARE WORLDS: Atomic Rulers of the World (1957)
There are nine Sūpā Jaiantsu (Super Giant) movies that were first shown in Japan. Takeo Nagamatsu’s 1930 kamishibai The Golden Bat (Ōgon Batto) may have been Japan’s first modern superhero and Gekkō Kamen (Moonlight Mask) the first hero to be on TV, but the first actual super hero movie in Japan was this one. It was bought for […]
MILL CREEK NIGHTMARE WORLDS: Alien Species (1996)
Max Pointdexter, I shit you not, has hacked into a NASA probe and is watching images from space, which is totally what most guys use the internet for and also, this was 1996, so imagine how slow the load time was. He also somehow has an attractive woman in his room and just keeps worrying […]
MILL CREEK NIGHTMARE WORLDS: Unknown World (1951)
Unknown World was made by two Hollywood special effects men, Jack Rabin and Irving Block, who are two of the film’s three producers. It was directed by Terry O. Morse, who shot the American scene in Godzilla, and written by Millard Kaufman, who also wrote Bad Day at Black Rock and The Klansman. Victor Kilian, who plays Dr. […]
MILL CREEK NIGHTMARE WORLDS: UFO: Target Earth (1974)
I kind of love that this movie starts with accurate eyewitnesses before telling the tale of Alan Grimes (Nick Plakias), an electronics expert who is trying to figure out where strange signals are coming from, along with a psychic named Vivian (Cynthia Cline) and two experts from the college named Dan Rivers (Tom Arcuragi) and […]
MILL CREEK NIGHTMARE WORLDS: Contamination (1980)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Welcome to the first of this month’s Mill Creek box set articles. Up first — Luigi Cozzi’s Alien Contamination! This was first on the site on August 27, 2018. As a large ship drifts into New York City, you may wonder, “Am I watching Zombi?” No, you’re watching Contamination or Alien Contamination, but the similarities may […]
