  • Equinox!  The movie that burned itself into my fragile young mind!  I’ve never forgotten that movie.  Though sometimes I misremember how bad the acting is…

  • Oh my! Now that’s a fantastic line-up! There’s a couple there I haven’t even seen!

  • Beckoning Chasm

    5 “beach party” movies in a row seems a bit much.  Of course, I don’t think I’ve ever seen any beach party movies.  How much fun are they?

    You know you are a geek when films with monsters in them excite you more than ones with girls in bikinis. For the records I’ve never even seen a beach movie..

     So? Roger C. knew it you put them together, it’s cinema gold. Well, Iron Pyrite, but still it’s shiny…

  • Well, it all comes down to personal tastes as to how much you’ll get out of them. I can only speak for myself, but I love them. MUSCLE BEACH PARTY and PAJAMA PARTY are probably the best of the lot, for what that’s worth.

    Why didn’t anyone tell me that Herb was in Equinox, worth the price of admission

  • Ken_Begg

    We were all embarrassed that you didn’t know.

    Also, Bela Lugosi was in Plan 9 from Outer Space. Lugosi.
