MORE WICKED, WICKED

Click here for TCM’s in-depth look at Wicked, Wicked and click here to see the deadly serious trailer for this slasher flick that includes a glimpse of lead actress Tiffany Bolling singing the laugh-out-loud title tune. Diane McBain is almost unrecognizable under a long curly blonde wig, Randy Roberts is boyishly cute as the psycho, and Edd Byrnes looks mighty fine barechested pumping iron.

Wicked, Wicked

Set those DVRs for overnight Friday June 6 at 2AM. Turner Classic Movies has once again dug into its vaults for a cult classic and dug out the rarely aired Wicked, Wicked (1973). A slasher movie ahead of its time, it is about a psychotic hotel worker with a penchant for donning a mask and killing nubile long-haired blondes. Randy Roberts who went on to briefly play “Chuck Cunningham” on TV’s Happy Days is the maniac, Edd “Kookie” Byrnes is a lifeguard, and the blondes in peril include Fantasy Femme Diane McBain and Tiffany Bolling. It was directed by Richard L. Bare who was best known at the time for directing epiosdes of Green Acres and filmed in Duo-Vision a split screen process where as the ads proclaimed, “See the hunter, see the hunted – both at the same time!”

GOING TO A-GO-GO

If you love that mid-sixties sound of Herb Albert, Burt Bacharach, Henry Mancini, etc. check out the groovy vibes of The SG Sound. Composer Steve Greaves, a really cool cat as you can see, calls his music “Space Age Pop and Go-Go Jet Set.” The samples alone from his MySpace site are fantastic and had me go-go dancing around my apartment last night. For a second there I thought I was Carole Shelyne from Hullabaloo! You can download his CD from iTunes. I did!

A HUNK HUNK OF BURNIN’ LOVE

The folks at Elvis Week have announced there upcoming guests for their yearly August extravaganza. And as usual it is chock full of starlets including Fantasty Femmes Celeste Yarnall (pictured here with Michele Carey and the King in Live a Little, Love a Little) and Francine York; and Drive-in Dream Girls Darlene Tompkins and Cynthia Pepper. Click here for the web site.

Once again I am trying to get myself or Gail Gerber invited. Gail co-starred with Elvis Presley in Girl Happy and Harum Scarum. But it is like trying to penetrate Fort Knox to get to anybody in this organization.
