Tonight's Stinker: Frankenstein's Daughter(1958)

Tonight's Stinker Frankenstein's Daughter(1958) https://youtu.be/46ecG-LnXLQ?si=VZT2d827O2fdTFD1 A young couple are making out under a tree, then the girl pushes the boy away..... Angry, he gets in his car & drives off, and the girl sees a a woman in a nightie with ugly teeth, bug eyes & huge eyebrows running at her.... Roll opening credits..... The next morning, a young woman wakes up, as her uncle checks in on her.... She complains about a nightmare, then goes to play tennis with some friends.... Meanwhile, the uncle goes to work in his lab on some sort of youth potion or something with his grumpy & dismissive assistant, who's afraid of the police for some reason... Turns out, the assistant has been conducting experiments on the niece behind his bosses back, and the assistant's backstory & intentions only get more convoluted from there..... Pretty goofy most of the time.... At some point the assistant is supposed to be menacing, but looks like he's thumbing through a dirty magazine..... The teenage yuppies are jealous & obnoxious, there's a few musical numbers at a party about an hour in, and the plot seems to wonder all over the place.... Very riffable....

Tonight's Stinker: Hillbillys in a Haunted House(1967)

Tonight's Stinker Hillbillys in a Haunted House(1967) https://youtu.be/5wQwV_6Tpc8?si=rOS6H9vGjoCtMeJq Shortened for RiffTrax.... Ferlin Husky & the busty Joi Lansing play a pair of country singers traveling with their fidgety manager.... They drive right into the middle of a police shootout, & decide they should stop at the next town so the manager can get some rest.... Unfortunately, the next town is abandoned but for a lone gas station owner, who recommends they crash at a nearby abandoned mansion..... They go to the mansion, where John Carradine, Lon Chaney Jr., Basil Rathbone, Linda Ho, & some guy in a gorilla suit play foreign spies who have rigged the place up with everything you'd expect from a haunted house ride... Clipped to just an hour, the riffing over the dialog gets a bit excessive, but doesn't get in the way of story development...... Several musical numbers... watchable.,...

Tonight's Stinker: Missile to the Moon(1958)

Tonight's Stinker Missile to the Moon(1958) https://youtu.be/FDxo09r3wVc?si=-MjyEjFLnxn1xJHJ Some local cops are looking for a pair of escaped convicts.... Meanwhile, an eccentric millionaire scientist argues with a military leader over whether or not his new rocket & all it's innovative new features will work... There's also the tiny matter of the government taking it over & shoving him aside.... The sheriff shows up at the lab & wants to take a look around the property.... While showing the sheriff around, the scientist sees the two convicts hiding in the rocket, but instead of turning them in, he locks them inside & later blackmails them into helping him fly the rocket.... The scientists partner & his fiancé decide to look for him, & get trapped on the rocket when it takes off.... From there, it turns into an unapologetic remake of Cat-Women of the Moon(1953), with a few deviations.... Maintains a decent pace.... While names, costumes, sets, props & even some footage are recycled, many of the characters are more fleshed out, with the two ex-cons adding an interesting dynamic.....

I thought it was okay......

Tonight's Stinker: Robotrix (1991)

Tonight's Stinker Robotrix (1991) https://youtu.be/5ScNL0rondU?si=2_GmYL-Mx1MqTVQs A middle eastern prince goes frolicking in the pool with a group of nude women while a team of Asian policemen assigned to guard him watch..... The one policewoman on the team is put off & decides to step out.... A kidnapper gasses everyone in the pool, then shoots the policewoman on the way out...... Later, at a convention organized by the father of the prince, American & German android developers vie for a contract for a middle eastern android army.... Two androids get to fighting, things get out of hand, & a Japanese android comes in to save the day..... Then an evil mad scientist sends a video tape saying he's kidnapped the sheik's son, then transfers his mind into an android..... This plot point is quickly forgotten until about an hour later..... The dead policewoman's mind is put into an android..... Meanwhile, the police start looking for a man killing hookers..... This one kept turning up in b-movie recommendations, had me thinking it was just going to be silly martial arts, but for the most part, was porn with jokes about misogyny & voyeurism set to a grating synth score, with no real plot....
