It must have been tough trying to come up with unique horror and sci-fi movie titles during the 1950s. You've got Day the World Ended , The Day the Sky Exploded, The Day the Earth Stood Still, just to name a few. For his 1957 disaster movie about combustible geological formations, legendary schlock producer Sam Katzman aptly settled on The Night The World Exploded. In the film, Dr. David Conway (William Leslie, Buchanan Rides Alone, The Horse Soldiers ) has created a machine that he believes can accurately predict earthquakes. The machine says that there's a massive seismic event coming in just 24 hours, so he sets out to investigate further. Accompanied by his colleague Laura "Hutch" Hutchinson (doe-eyed Kathryn Grant, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad ), he descends into a cavern to explore the source of these readings and is shocked by his findings. Not only is the earthquake threat very real, but he's found the existence of a brand new periodic element: a form of rock...

1979's  Screams of a Winter Night is now on Blu-ray courtesy of Code Red and offers an opportunity to see not only the original theatrical version that played in drive-in-cinemas and theaters almost forty years ago, but also to see a newly-restored, longer cut of the film that was believed to have been lost. The never-before-seen version of the movie runs nearly two hours (not 124 minutes, as the package proclaims) and adds over a half-hour back to the film's running time. Depending on your tolerance for low-budget seventies horror, this is either a good thing or a bad thing.

In the first of two videos looking at Mill Creek Entertainment, I show you my collection of Mill Creek DVDs and explain where the company came from. We examine their origins as the company that put out those 50 movie packs and classic 80s cartoons like Bravestarr and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. In the next video, we will conclude with a look at the kind of products Mill Creek has been releasing for the last few years and see how different they are from the public domain DVDs that they started with!

Let's take an in-depth look at the company Mill Creek Entertainment, the guys behind those massive 50-movie sets that seem to be everywhere. We look at the pros and cons of the company's business model, highlight their successes, and point out a few areas that could use a little improvement. This one's for fans of exploitation, horror, sci-fi, drive-in, martial arts, and cult classic DVDs, Blu-rays, and physical media. We also look at their box sets of Miami Vice, Knight Rider, Airwolf, That '70s show, Quantum Leap, and a few of their mega-movie sets including the 200-film Drive-In Cult Classics box set.

  As far as your midnight movie plots go, there's nothing inherently unique about Trip with the Teacher . On the surface, this is your standard "mad motorcycle maniacs terrorize the innocent" plot, but it's done with so much style and at least one particularly stunning performance that it easily stands out against similar films. Brenda Fogarty ( The Beach Bunnies ) is a prim and proper teacher who is leading a handful of her female students (including Cathy Worthington in her debut) on an expedition into the desert to observe some Native American artifacts. Jack Driscoll ( Garden of the Dead ) is their bus driver, a stout man who is the spitting image of Sterling Hayden ( The Godfather ), circa 1957. Elsewhere in the desert, two motorcyclists, played by Zalman King ( Galaxy of Terror ) and Robert Porter ( Mackenna's Gold ), are broken down on the side of the road. Another motorcyclist happens upon them, played by Robert Gribbin ( Hitch Hike to Hell ), and when...

I've begun working my way through Mill Creek's "Drive-In Cult Classics: 32 Movie Collection," which is comprised entirely of films from the Crown International catalog. That studio was (is?) one of the biggest names in cult, exploitation, and low-budget fare; when I think of the seventies grindhouse movies with chunka-bow-bow funk scores and flashy cinematography, I'm becoming more and more aware of the role Crown International actually played in creating those cliches.In researching these movies from the set, I'm seeing a lot of one-sentence or one-paragraph reviews, as if the craziness or brilliance or cheesiness contained in each Crown International movie could be  encapsulated or dismissed with a single statement. I was bothered by the trend, so here's my attempt to do service to the movies that demand more than that (some of them don't demand more than that), starting with a movie that I don't think has gotten its due. Pick-Up  is a 1975 f...
