But Herman purposely only sent me the beginning and the end of the contract and omitted the middle, which would have shown how much he was going to pay Landon for those additional pics. Now that I see how much Landon got for TEEN WEREWOLF, I know why! (Herman, who I really really liked, revelled in his bon vivant, man of the world, "money is no object" persona.)

(a) Though they seem like they SHOULD be AIP movies, NOT OF THIS EARTH and ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS were not released by American International, but by Allied Artists. I think R. Corman himself may own the rights to those. (b) DAY THE WORLD ENDED, SHE CREATURE, BLOOD OF DRACULA and a few others were owned by Sam Arkoff, not Jim Nicholson, and are now controlled by his heirs, I assume.

May 16 09 7:38 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	NOT OF THIS EARTH, ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS, and I believe two other pictures (can't recall which at this moment) were, until recently, controlled by Warner Brothers, but it was a limited term in which they controlled them, and the rights have gone back to Corman. They contacted me a couple of years ago, asking for paperwork I had on them pertaining to the music rights. Don't know anything about their plans regarding these titles, as I'm not involved in their business at all. I just tried to help them out when they expressed an interest in music-related information about these pictures.

May 18 09 2:24 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I have the other titles written down somewhere. I don't think WAR OF THE SATELLITES was in that list. The other is a non-horror film. Can't recall if it was a teen movie or a western, but I remember I had never heard of the title before (which doesn't mean anything, since I'm not a teen/western movie fan). I'll have to go check my files.

Aug 31 09 2:55 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	A couple weeks ago I watched the RCA/Columbia VHS of this. In the party scene (about 17 minutes into the film), when Michael Landon and his girlfriend first arrive, there's a guy making out on a couch with a girl who then stands up, slaps him (Fresh!), and walks away. The guy looks a lot like James Best. The same actor also puts on the record for Kenny Miller to sing "Eeny Miney Mo" to. He has some speaking lines too, but it's hard to tell...is it actually James Best, or just someone who looks like him? The IMDb does not list Best in the cast.

Nov 25 09 7:46 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Both Mark McGee and I separately saw clippings at the Academy library that announced BLOOD OF THE WEREWOLF as an AIP title, not long before they made I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF. However, Herman Cohen, the producer, claimed it was always called that. I don't think Cohen was lying; I think the error is a matter of timing. We all know that AIP very often, probably most of the time, invented titles before they embarked on actually making the damned movie. Here's what I think happened: before handing the project to Cohen, Arkoff & Nicholson decided to make a werewolf movie and came up with the title BLOOD OF THE WEREWOLF, and the announcement was sent to the trades. After that but >before Cohen was hired or a script was written<. Nicholson's kids read that issue of DIG with the (very) short story "I Was a Teenage Werewolf" and suggested it to their dad. (He always said he got the title from his kids.) THEN Cohen approached Cohen and Aben Kandel, who wrote the script--which >itself< was always called I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF. This is only a theory, but it seems to me to square with everything.
