Lee,  I mentioned that one a couple of  days ago. Prob. got lost in the
melee around mid-week.  Charles also made a good point about the
use ( or lack ) of  Chamberlins for 50's sci-fi  "B" movie soundtracks.

In retrospect, now that I view some of those lesser films with today's
perspective, they REALLY were cheesy !  The majority of  explosion
and devastation was stock military footage of early A or H-bomb tests
(Houses exploding into matchsticks, pine forests denuded, jeeps
tipped over, etc.)  .  Just add in a  cliche title, some rubber costumes
and props, some Theremin and signal-generators, there 'ya go !

.......Coming soon to a popcorn/gum infested cinema near you:
"Killer Trons from  Planet Bodger "  or
"The Day The Motors Stood Still"  or  " Eight Second Countdown"
or my favorite " The Man with the X-Ray Sampler "

OK, I'm going back to the basement to avoid the deadly Cathode Ray Gun .

Cheers,  -JK- (Still loves Angelique Pettyjohn from orig. Star-Trek series)
