Symptom 129: They Came Without Exposition, But With A Pretty Good Host

Ignore the fact that i say this is symptom 130, it is 129. This week is a dual review, first we review the 1967 disaster They Came From Beyond Space, but we are also reviewing Horror Hotel - a syndicated “Horror Host” show hosted by Lamia, Queen of the Dark. The movie is horrendous. I wouldn’t try to figure out what is going on because I am not sure the writers knew. Aliens invade Cornwall England, because. They have mind control powers and one scientist is immune. The aliens need humans to build them a spaceship to get home. Dr. Temple tells the “Master of the Moon” they didn’t need to enslave Earth but just ask. A handshake later and the movie ends…

Horror Hotel on the other hand is great. Lamia continues the great tradition of Horror Hosts in the tradition of an Elvira or Vampira or even Ghoulardi. She gives factoids about the movie and its production as well as mixing in fun bits during breaks in the film. So give Horror Hotel a look and check it out.
