I Was a Teenage Werewolf, plunges us into a generation gap with teeth! And Bela Lugosi stars in The Ghoul Goes West as a fading Hollywood bogeyman whose star still burns in the reality next door.So join the gang at Party Beach, and let Dale Bailey introduce you to some teenagers from outer space, a Creature from the Black Lagoon like youve never seen, and onslaughts of alien invaders with human womenamong other thingson their minds! Youll laugh! Youll cry! Youll recoil in horror! And youll recall these stories long after the last flying saucer has ascended into the heavens of sci-fi cinema past.
