60s horror is next in #TheCellarClub with #CarolineMunro at 10:05pm as she presents #RichardCarlson and #SusanGordon in TORMENTED (1960) #TPTVsubtitles Directed by cult director #BertIGordon
Fooling around further with #grok , and came up with a what-if scenario regarding Fred and Merrie from the #bertigordon film #villageofthegiants , if the goo and some #promiscuity leads to some very big developments. The quote from #genesis immediately sprang to mind (note: a video might be next!)
#BertIGordon #MrBIG #horror #suspense "Tom Stewart killed me!" SPOILER: IMO this movie was much more effective as a psychological #thriller and I was disappointed when it took a definitive #supernatural #ghost story turn. A really fun episode of #MST3K #comedy 🎬💀
Happy 60th Anniversary to the #BertIGordon film, #VillageoftheGiants ! We’ll forever be enthralled about the story of teenagers that burst out of their clothes and take over a town!

It should be noted that out of every script and production material piece we could find on #villageofthegiants , none of them include any information on the ending in the film.
We assume #bertigordon wrote the ending on his own as production began, and filmed it the same day he filmed the opening.
Today would have been the 110th birthday of #villageofthegiants editor, John Bushelman.
He did editorial work over four decades, with #villageofthegiants being one of four films he did editorial work on for #bertigordon .
Today is a red-letter day for the #bertigordon film, #villageofthegiants !
It was on this day 60 years ago, that film production officially began (according to the shooting schedule)!
The first day of filming took place on the #universalstudios Backlot, in the Courthouse Square area.
Happy Birthday to the late #declanmulligan of #thebeaubrummels . Today would have been his 87th birthday. Mr Mulligan was seen at the #whiskyagogo in the #bertigordon film #villageofthegiants . He also sings lead vocals on their song #woman , heard twice in the film.
