The author of Psycho co-wrote the screenplay? “We all go a little mad sometimes.” Freddie Francis? The man who lit The Elephant Man (1980) and Glory (1989) directed? “Hooray For Hollywood!!!” A movie only Irwin Allen could love. Pop Singer, Rest Home, The Smell of Fear, who knew bees were so dangerous? Obsession by Calvin Klein or Dior Sauvage for Men? Chili Dogs, Revenge of the Brains, Love Sonnet, Wood Ticks, Just For Men, Psychic Battle. “Christopher Robin decided on a diabolical plan to kill Pooh”, “No please according to physicists we can’t fly”, “They named every bee? This is gonna take forever.” “Friendly Swearword Productions” or “It’s Happy Music Now and Everything Is Okay”?
What kept this movie from being released on disc?
Rights issues I assume.
I just saw someone on eBay who is attempting to sell copies of this episode on disc as if it was.
There are things out there. They’re not actual releases. Paramount is behind distributing The Deadly Bees (1966) and Diabolik (1968) and owns and distributes The Space Children (1958). Two of the three MST3K episodes are presently unavailable on disc. Blame the Mountain. Paramount is problematic to deal with. They can be. And this was before Paramount +.
Another hard to find episode. I remember the dog’s meat (who can forget it?) and a dapper chap showing up at the end of the movie, ready to take on a problem that someone else has already solved. Obviously from the British government.
There’s meat, and we’ve got string…and tortillas stuffed with ham!
He was the guy at the beginning of the film sent to check out the farm. It’s a barely memorable scene that you have no reason not to forget about since it has nothing to do with the rest of the movie.
