A cheap, mean-spirited pot boiler of a film - and one of my all-time favorite 'guilty pleasures'...
I used to look forward to this film showing up on a Saturday afternoon playing on 'Creature Feature' on WDCA channel 20 in Washington, D.C..
The center of attention was (of course) the always lovely late Tura Satana.
As for the radio spot...they simply don't write them like this anymore - do they ?
The priceless Ballyhoo is provided below :
Beware of the Astro-Zombies !
They mutilate - they torture - they kill !
Spine tingling horror -
Unspeakable shock -
And breathless excitement will grip you...
As you watch living organs ripped from the bodies of voluptuous females
As beating hearts and throbbing brains are transplanted
to create - the Astro-Zombies !
Cringe in terror !
Scream in fright !
As these skull-faced monsters strike blindly at living flesh
And the motion picture screen flows in the blood-drenched
wake of the Astro-Zombies !
The beautiful, voluptuous, deadly, vicious Satana...
A woman who would stop at nothing
to gain control over the Astro-Zombies
Whose creed was kill - kill - kill !
John Carradine as the deranged scientist...
Wendell Corey as the doctor who opposes him
Match wits -
In this bloody, sadistic, terror-filled,
suspense-laden horror film of brutal mutilations,
and senseless killings
As the Astro-Zombies go berserk and threaten
a city with death
Watch it - and you die a thousand deaths !
The Astro-Zombies in color !
Coming soon to your local theatre
