Felice was an actual person, not an Adamson pseudonym. He appeared in ECHO OF TERROR/PSYCHO A GO GO. Al was in ECHO/PSYCHO, and some references say he appeared using the Felice name, but Sam Sherman (in the DVD commentary) says Felice was an entirely different person.

Does anyone have an opinion on this? Of the two deputies in the film, the Chief was Lyle Felice and Deputy Moss was played by Matt Shaw. CAPE CANAVERAL MONSTERS was made in 1960, but the first film Al Adamson worked on was HALFWAY TO HELL (1961) assisting his father, director Victor Adamson. We all now officially know more than is necessary about the career of Al Adamson.

AIP used to keep their movies running around the country until the film dried up and blew away; they were still playing our local Ohio theatres in the early to mid 1960s, which is where I saw 'em. So why would a "first run" theatre owner pay good money to show RETURN OF THE TEENAGE WEREWOLF when a grindhouse down the street is showing I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF on a flat $7 rental? Makes no sense to the theatre or the studio.
