Star Trek: The Cage 50th anniversary of Star Trek's first pilot Spandex and monster celebates the 50th anniversary of 'The Cage' with Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Pike This week is the 50 anniversary of the original star trek pilot.  At the time, no one knew history would be made by this plucky science fiction pilot.  Originally proposed as a zap gun western ala 'wagon train to the stars'  producer Gene Roddenberry decided to use science fiction as a vehicle to talk bluntly about the human condition. The Enterprise in 'The Cage' The Keepers who dabbled in illusions versus reality In the episode, the space ship Enterprise commanded by Christopher Pike would encounter the mysterious woman Vina who was the last human survivor of a wrecked space ship.  The mental race of the Keepers were there to use Vina to mate with Pike and start a human colony of slaves to help the Keepers (who despite their fantastic mental abilities of making their dreams alm

Jerry Williams and his films on IndieReign

Jerry Williams and his films on IndieReign Several of my films are on IndieReign.  A pretty cool platform for the independent filmmaker.  I have several films which I started using my 'Slacker Dada' approach to filmmaking.  In a nutshell, its a 'create something from nothing' and trash cinema mix up.  As most people know, indie film distribution is a big awful mess right now, but IndieReign has been catered to independent films and filmmakers...worth a look for your films of the independent bent, and if you are interested in some of my films check them out..be sure to share with folks who would 'get' my sense of humor and filmmaking. These films are for mature audience members only...enjoy! Horror Blogger Die! My homage to 'bad' VHS horror films from the 80's.   Bride of the Saucer Monster Monsters, UFO's, and mad scientists...now that's a party! Saucer Sex from Beyond My nod to Lovecraft's from beyo

Revenge of the Spacemen, Invasion of the Saucermen, and Horror Blogger Die!

Revenge of the Spacemen, Invasion of the Saucermen, and Horror Blogger Die! Revenge of the Spacemen is a fun homage to the salad days of AIP films of yore, in particular the iconic Invasion of the Saucer men.  The aliens are based upon those alien design which was the creation of godfather monster maker  P aul Blaisdell which was a treat for me.  The story could easily be an AIP film modified for today's audiences.  In this case, an invasion of Ohio, complete with redneck humor, beers everywhere, and a shotgun toting mama facing off the monsters.  The spacemen are a weird horny lot anal probing every man, woman, and animal out there...I know there's a frenchmen joke in a frat social joke in there someplace. Those space men are pervs...even messing with horses! Exposure to this probe makes people turn green and let out terrible farts..I guess there's a Cincinnati Reds stadium chili hotdog joke in there too, but I digress.  By trial and error, our heroes whic

Terror at Crimson Creek

fury Terror at Crimson Creek Terror at Crimson Creek is a new found footage horror film by Justus League Films.  Director Cherokee Hall did a Roger Corman by shooting the main bulk of the film just under 36 hours.  It was a lot of fun, a lot of hard work, and of course several roadblocks by some actor/production gremlins always makes the process interesting.  The amazing cool thing is we got the film in the can with a large cast, incredible sequences, and an awesome film when the smoke clears.  Besides production side, I did a brief cameo as a sinister guard of an insane asylum.  I also shot a behind the scenes short.  Here are some of pics I took on set as well as some frame grabs.  Worth a look for fans of Spandex and Monster. Director Cherokee Hall going over a shot with the actors Michael Vaughn setting up a camera shot setting up an action shot yours truly as a sinister guard in between doing production work The actors who played the evil men of '

The first time lord?

the first Dr. Who William Hartnell The first time lord?   Before William Hartnell started his run as the iconic time lord for Doctor Who, there was a show that had some of the elements that would be explored in more detail in Doctor Who.   Roy Steffensen - star/writer of Captain Z-Ro This show was called Captain Z-Ro, and its hero could travel in space and time.  It was originally broadcast live in the San Francisco area almost a decade earlier, and would introduce many of the concepts that would be used in Doctor Who, so you could argue that Captain Z-Ro was in effect the first time lord. Captain Z-Ro was a children's show, and would feature a 'mentor' role which was Captain Z-Ro and his 'companion' role which was the teen called Jet.  Like Doctor Who, the Captain would witness and influence historical events and he and his companion would get into adventures.   Captain Z-Ro was shot simply with an nonexistent budget, with at most four actors

EBE aka 'Mona Lisa' Apollo 20... secret mission for moon aliens? The last manned mission to the moon was Apollo 17.  Budget concerns grounded the last three Apollo flights.  That's the official version, but there had been grumblings for years afterward about NASA and some funny business on the moon. Apollo 20 Sometime about in 2007 a man who identified himself as Rutledge started posting youtube videos of his alleged involvement in a secret mission to explore an ancient alien space craft on the moon.  Apollo 18 was a trial run, and Apollo 19 was lost to tragedy with an impact with meteorite.  Apollo 20 was a secret mission to explore the alien space craft supposedly spotted by Apollo 15. Allegedly this was a secret operation with Russia to explore this alien space craft, thought to be at least several thousands of years old.  This mission was launched in secret and once there the Apollo astronauts found an alien pilot aboard the derelict spacecraft.   Du

The Creeping Terror (1964) The Creeping Terror A bizarre science fiction horror film hybrid from the 1960's which also boasted a strange genesis.  On the surface it is about a slug creature that terrorizes the town from a crashed flying saucer.  Another creature on the ship also attacks those who enter the space craft.  It is deduced that these space slugs are mindless creatures and with a handy grenade, the creeping terror is destroyed.  Unfortunately a signal was sent to another galaxy, and it might be bad for the human race, but the extreme distance means it will be hundreds or thousands of years before the slug creatures return. the monster The creeping terror eats! Production This film was in the golden era of independent films, where a quick monster cheapie could in theory brings in lots of money when it was screened in theaters.  Enter ex con and conman Vic Savage who directed it, produced, and edited the film under the alias of A.J Nelson.  Savage ma
