4 Shots From 4 Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking.
Today we celebrate October’s favorite planet, Mars!
4 Shots From 4 Martian Films
A Message From Mars (1913, dir by J. Wallett Waller)
Invaders From Mars (1953, dir by William Cameron Menzies)
Devil Girl From Mars (1954, dir by David MacDonald)
Santa Claus Conquers The Martins (1964, dir by Nicolas Webster)
The Late Night Movie Crew and I watched this movie last night. They enjoyed it because it was about a space chicken that destroys Tokyo. I enjoyed it because one of the main characters was named Lisa. Let’s take a moment to consider just how much every film could be improved by a Lisa.
This trailer is in German so I’m really not sure what’s going on with it. However, it does feature a little bit of dancing and a bunch of lasers going “pew pew.”
3) The Hideous Sun Demon (1959)
“The blaze of noon made him a monster!” I feel bad for him, mostly because I’m a redhead so I have firsthand experience with how cruel the sun can be.
4) The Alligator People (1958)
“Her honeymoon turned into a nightmare of horror!” That’ll happen.
5) The Astounding She Monster (1957)
The Alligator People are no match for the Astounding She Monster.
6) Devil Girl From Mars (1954)
Hmmmm…originally, I was going to be Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow for Halloween but now I’m thinking I might have to be the Devil Girl From Mars.
