THE HORROR OF PARTY BEACH (1964). My brother Scott and I saw this in June 1971 and we thought it was the best film we had ever seen. Bikinis, blood, surf music and monsters. A year later, we caught it again and were more convinced of its greatness...heck, a year or so later, we ordered the fumetti magazine from FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND!.
Cut to early 1989 when I'm the father of a one year old and Scott had just gotten out of the army. We came over to visit with a Blockbuster Rental of this and after gathering refreshments, we put the tape in. And within 10 minutes, we were literally on the floor laughing at how awful this is.
Watched it again yesterday and it is a stink bomb, pure and simple, but it has a goofy clueless charm to it that kind of makes me like it, although the stereotypical maid is embarassing to watch.
Think I will look for CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1954)... **
