The Horror of Party Beach (1964) / The Curse of the Living Corpse (1964) - Newspaper Ad

Oakland Tribune - May 27, 1964

I share with zero embarrassment that, as a child, the first time or two that I watched The Horror of Party Beach the movie scared the snot out of me. Today it is hard to watch the movie and not have a plethora of wisecracks from Mystery Science Theater 3000 spring to mind.

Whether you watch the riffed version of The Horror of Party Beach or not, you will have a good time. Of all the beach party-monster movie mash ups that were birthed in the 1960s, this one might be the best of the bunch.

Being a huge fan of Roy Scheider, thanks to Jaws, Jaws 2, The French Connection, The Seven Ups, Sorcerer, All That Jazz, Still of the Night, Blue Thunder, and 52 Pick-Up, I feel a bucket list necessity to watch The Curse of the Living Corpse, as it was the actor's first ever film. I know it is not supposed to be very good, but watch it I will... some day.
