The Undead (1957)/Time Travellers(1964)

[Scott]

Just found the name of a film I remember from childhood called THE UNDEAD which was a Roger Corman film. What I remember in the 70's was the lady on the couch and the foggy procession.



Another film from my childhood in the 70's that I recently found the name of thanks to Yaddo here at badmovies.org was TIME TRAVELLERS.



Would really like to see both films again some day.

Is The Undead a film where a woman regresses back to some point in the past while in a hypnotist's or psychologist's office. I can't remember if she goes first and someone else goes back after her or vice versa. I remember someone being saved from a mob but the other person gets caught, I think. The big twist when the character comes back to the present is that the other person is sitting in the background except that their head is missing, I believe they were beheaded in the past. The problem was when I saw it the shot was framed in such a way that the body was visible in the shot so the big "shock" was only a surprise to the characters and not the audience, which seems a rather lackluster ending for a horror or genre film. This was followed by a quick fade out as the characters realized what had happened.

If I'm thinking of the wrong film sorry, but the poster and your brief description sounds familiar.

You can get both these movies at Movies Unlimited.org .They have a HUGE catalog (800 pgs) for $9.95 +s+h that covers much more than the site does.I recall seeing TIME TRAVELERS as a kid-with the weird mutants and cool androids.Forry Ackerman has a cameo as a android repairman.I never seen the UNDEAD,but did see the trailer on a trailer comp I ordered through Somethin Weird Video-Superhorrorshockoramashriekshow (WHEW!) I also remember seeing the cool skeleton in the ad for the 8mm clips they usta sell in the back of Famous Monsters mag.

That's the one Yaddo. The regression on the couch and the hooded foggy scenes after that. Don't remember much else. Always wanted to see the this film again.

Thanks RCMerchant for the info. Will be looking for it.

Here's one that Burgomaster revealed to me through a post a few months back called THE ASTOUNDING SHE-MONSTER which is a film I couldn't figure out the title to. Weird with good atmosphere when I watched it in the 70's. Would like to see it again.

You can order that one threw Sinister Cinema.I got that one  and watch it at least once a month. Why,I'm not sure...kinda grew on me.

Don't you just love how those old lobby cards were in color but the films were not? Talk about false advertising!
