"Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter"

Believe it or not, there is an actual movie entitled "Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter." Circa 1966. And then there's a movie I saw listed on 'Fearnet' as "Hillbillies in a Haunted House," starring the delightful Basil Rathbone and Lon Chaney Jr. The synopsis:

Country singers on their way to Nashville have car trouble, forcing them to stop at an old haunted mansion. Soon they realize that the house is not only haunted, but is also the headquarters of a ring of international spies after a top secret formula for rocket fuel.

Upon further research I, yours truly, found other movies that have flown under the radar screen. In no particular order, here they are:

1) "Zorro's Daughter Has a Crush on a Werewolf"

2) "Wyatt Earp Has a Shootout at the OK Corral with the Mummy"

3) "Wild Bill Hickok and Dracula of Transylvania Trade Gunfire"

4) "Annie Oakley Slews Auntie Roo"

5) "Bonnie and Clyde vs. the Night of the Living Dead Zombies"

6) "The Fortune Telling Gypsy in Every Werewolf Movie Tussles with Hopalong Cassidy"

7) "Roy Rogers and Dale Duel Bullet and Trigger, Both Infected with Rabies"

8) "Billy the Kid Fights The Thing From Another World"

9) "The Cisco Kid's Second Cousin Once Removed Battles Godzilla's Grands" [ grandkids ]

10) "Rednecks Under Siege In a Haunted Castle." Which stars the critically-acclaimed actor, Steven Seagal.

These are just some of the movies that you may have missed at some time in your life. And you thought you knew movies?

Son of Mothra, v.c.
