Do Not Miss Next Saturday Night, When Svengoolie Presents "The Black Scorpion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


                                            Svengoolie has restored fun to Saturday night,  girls, and  he is  doing  it  with giant bug movies.  Last night , we had such fun with "Earth VS. The Spider," but "The Black  Scorpion" has something  of  an  iconic  reputation.


                                              It stars  monster veterans  Riichard  Denning and Mara Corday.  Mara was the darlings  of  Fifties giant monster movies, having starred in  1955's "Tarantula!," 1957's "The Giant Claw," and now this.  Monsters went for Mara in a  BIG way!   Check  out the scene where the scropion peers at her through the window.


                                                And the train wreck  sequence is  a  testament to  great special  efffects,  as  this was  the  last film  worked on by the great Willis  O'Brien,  who,  of course broke ground with  1933's "King Kong."  No  wonder the scorpion  here looks  so  realistic.


                                                 But  it is  still  a  hoot!  So, join  me, with  popcorn,  or what you please, and watch "The Black  Scorpion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


                                                  It  will  simply  sting  you,  darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
