Collection Recommendation: Mr. Lobo's Cinema Insomnia (The Eye Creatures)

  

Mr. Lobo's Cinema Insomnia offers a direct-to-UHF, old-time classic on super-sharp Blu-ray: (Attack of) The Eye Creatures (though under the distinct, if not quite "misunderstood" title, The Eye Creatures 1: Return of the Eye Creatures; I'm uncertain of the intent, but for the sake of a wacky mislead, I wouldn't have it any other way.) 

The Eye Creatures is, in truth, Larry Buchanan's 1967, color remake of Edward L. Cahn's 1957, drive-in gem, Invasion of the Saucer Men, with teen idol, John (Blood Island) Ashley as its cool, top-billed star and Cynthia (High Yellow) Hull as his lovely, leading lady. (Buchanan's reliable Warren Hammack is also on hand to enliven the eerie proceedings.) 

Instead of wee, bulbous-headed "Martians" attacking amorous youths, the remake enlists Michelin Man-styled monsters (peppered with multiple orbs) on the lusty loose. As with Saucer Men, Eye Creatures is hip fun, blending silliness with dependable scares.

In addition to the headliner, Mr. Lobo's in-betweens revolve around Gettysburg, PA's Creature Feature Weekend Convention and its sensational stars: Ted Raimi, Vernon Wells, Kathleen Kinmount, Caroline Williams, Crystal Quin, Kyra Schon, Jim Krut, Eileen Deitz, Nancy Loomis Kyes and more. A pretty noteworthy queue, to say the least!

On the whole, this is a terror-ific package for Cinema Insomnia. Add it to your collection today, and to make your purchase all the more collectible, Mr. Lobo will even autograph it to your specifications!
