One last thought… Also the creative impulses (and I say that loosely) aren’t on the same wavelength as general knowledge or information. People go off into scenarios, concepts, creations, and they get lost in their imagination and they stumble on things they think are new and untried and to them they are before reality hits. I suspect (but don’t know) this is what went down here. I too can’t believe this actually happened. Welcome to “Truth being stranger than Fiction.”
I’m convinced that every last one of these shorts has a script that was scribbled onto a soggy bar napkin by day-boozers too impatient to wait for Happy Hour. Nothing else explains it all.
Tom Weaver also realized the irony in the Monstrosity (1963) Blu Commentary that Marjorie played a cat lady in a latter role. I’m struggling to pin down the part. IMDB isn’t giving me enough to go on.
In a film full of semi-quasi-acceptable guano sci-fi insanity all over the place, we can’t overlook the hilarity of the mansion having a NUCLEAR SELF-DESTRUCT BUTTON.
