I recently watched the DVD and a few things struck me - footage from other films.  I recognized the stuff from "Galaxy of Terror" and "Humanoids from the Deep" (1980), but can anyone identify two pieces for me?

1 - Two goofy monsters fighting in the opening credits montage.  One is tall and looks like a pillar with knives attached, the other is squat.

2 - The slasher scenes that seem terribly out of place.  Supposedly this is the alien woman going crazy after getting blood infected with rabies, but it must be from another movie.

I think that I've seen the slasher stuff before, but the goofy monsters is definitely unknown to me - since I love monster movies, it interests me greatly.

Stock footage from Hollywood Boulevard I believe, which may have been stock footage from some other slasher type flick.  I don't know.

It wouldn't surprise me if Hollywood Boulevard took the footage from another movie; The film was literally built on the premise that re-using footage from older films could keep the budget down (IIRC, Arkush & Dante bet Corman they could beat his low-budget record)

Speaking of HB, does anyone know where the rubber monster footage at the drive-in in that one came from? It basically consists of two monsters, um, "doing it."

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
