The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (39)

Another page from the ACME Catalog -

ACME would like to wish everyone a Spooky Halloween with a special Drive-In double-feature tonight. Before our first feature presentation begins, ACME would like to start the evening with a spooky Looney Tunes cartoon with the Frank Tashlin directed 1937 Porky Pig outing, The Case of the Stuttering Pig:



This is an unusual cartoon in that Petunia Pig appears as Porky's sister, rather than his girlfriend, as in her other appearances.


Our first feature tonight is the 1955 Joseph Newman (Universal was dissatisfied with some of Newman's work, and brought in Jack Arnold to re-shoot some scenes,) Sci-Fi B-movie classic This Island Earth, starring Jeff Morrow, Faith Domergue, and Rex Reason. Please join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in turning out the lights in the house and curling up on the couch.





This might change the way you view the film: According to Faith Domergue, the pants of her costume were so skintight that she could not wear underwear. A female assistant had to help her put them on and take them off.

Before our second film begins, ACME would like to show another spooky Looney Tunes cartoon with the Chuck Jones directed 1956 Bugs Bunny/ Witch Hazel outing, Broom-Stick Bunny:



It's unknown if Hazel's pet tarantula, Paul, died naturally or if she had used as an ingredient in a past potion recipe.

Our second feature tonight is a lesser known Sci-Fi B-movie, the 1957 William Asher (of Bewicthed fame,) The 27th Day, starring Gene Barry, and Valerie French. Once again, please join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in tossing another bag of popcorn in the microwave and making some more room on the couch for us. (If you made your old doctor another martini, that would just hit the spot.)





The beach scene at which Eve Wingate is out with her original boyfriend, and later where she throws away the capsules, is the same location used by Columbia for the famous love scene between Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr in From Here to Eternity.

Kids, remember to let you parents check you trick-or-treat bags when you come home next Tuesday. You never know if the candy has been poisoned, especially the fancy chocolates.
