"The Flying Serpent" Was Kinda Cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                           One day, during the week, I play "Svengoolie," and Baby Gojira and I watch a cheesy horror movie.  I have shone him "Attack Of The Giant Leeches," with Yvette Vickers, "Monster On Campus," and the 1957 "Mark Of The Vampire, " which has nothing to with the 1935 Tod Browning gem.

                              "The Flying Serpent" is a low budget cheapie, from one of those ersatz studios like Republic Pictures.  These were studios where all the nobodies worked when they weren't parking cars or pumping gas!

                                  George Zucco, a rather known horror actor, is the lead.  He finds the Aztec treasure, and the serpent who guards it, named "Quetzalcoatl," the same title given to a film made 36 years later in 1982.  But "The Flying Serpent" is pure camp.

                                     The plot is almost the same as Bela Lugosi's 1940 "Devil Bat."  Whomever Zucco's character feels is a threat to getting the treasure from him, he leaves them with a feather from the serpent, which makes the creature fly to said person, and attack, draining he or she of their blood.

                                         The actress playing Zucco's stepdaughter, Mary, has great hair!  Even in the cheapies, the actors looked and dressed better than today.  The Thirties, Forties and Fifties were eras of glamour!  It has all been downhill since.

                                           But isn't "The Flying Serpent" the cutest little thing?  Baby and I had such fun, watching it.

                                            And I am sorry to say, girls, but there is no "Flying Serpent Doll!"

                                            What a shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
