A Year In Horror

Eye of the Devil (1966) w/ Twin Temple

Episode Summary

J. Lee Thompson directed Cape Fear in 1962, Happy Birthday to Me in 1981 plus a couple of Planet of the Apes movies as part of his genre sweep during his career. Eye of the Devil is often overlooked which is a real shame. When I asked the fantastic satanic doo-woppers TWIN TEMPLE to pick a movie to cover for this show, imagine my delight when they came back with that very choice. YES! Today we are joined by singer Alexandra Jones and her guitarist husband Zach. That's right! It's the time of the Temple. Right here, right now.

Episode Notes

I think Eye of the Devil is an undercard for 1966

• In the USA you had William Shatner starring in 'Incubus' and John Saxon And Dennis Hopper in 'Queen of Blood'
• In Spain you had Jess Franco’s 'The Diabolical Dr Z'
• In Italy Mario Bava put out 'Kill, Baby Kill'
• In Japan 'Daimajin' was released as well as 'Irazumi'
• And in the UK you had Hammer Horror’s 'Plague of the Zombies', "The Witches' and 'Dracula Prince of Darkness'
• All I think stronger titles than 'Eye of the Devil'

But there is no denying there is something magical about it. I just can't put my finger on it.
