(1 stars) - Ghost in the invisible bikini
Maybe 60's films just aren't my thing, but this was unwatchable, with humor aimed at six year olds. I realize the movie didn't take itself one bit seriously, and the point of the movie was to be silly, but I turned it off a third of way through, completely bored with the humor and largely unimpressed with the bikini filling. One of those rare cases where I want my $2.99 rental fee back.

Recommended for fans of the genre only, and not all of those.

(5 stars) - Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow
I saw this film on the cinema in 1962 and it stuck in my mind all ever since. When I saw the product for sale it was a must-have item. I have now re-viewed the film a time or two since I received it and it is still as funny as ever. That in itself was worth the time and expense of owning it, but I must say the additional film, The Ghost In The Invisible Bikini was a very welcome bonus.

(5 stars) - Movie review
Good service, fun movies, especially The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini. There should be a John Waters style remake!

(5 stars) - Better Than Citizen Kane
I have seen "Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow" dozens of times, but have yet to sit through one screening of "Citizen Kane." What does that tell you? Anyway, as "Dragstrip Hollow" opens, the Zenith Car Club is facing eviction because they have no money to pay rent. This is rather surprising, since club members include "TV" Tommy Ivo as himself, a current world record holder in several dragster categories ("world's fastest unblown gas engine," etc.), as well as the Renegades, a really great core rock 'n' roll band, that should be in the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame. Alfonso, a talking parrot, eventually becomes an unofficial member.

Anyway, the gang gets evicted and sets up shop in a haunted house. The unveiling of the ghost is as non-essential as it is anti-climatic, and the bad guys--"Tony and Anita and their creep friends"--are always impecably dressed. But so what? This movie is all about hot rodders in sport coats, dancing, respect for parents, soda pop, and the great rock 'n' roll of the Renegades. And let me tell you, the Renegades steal the show. As far as I know, they are the only group to use guns as musical instruments. If you haven't heard jams like like "Geronimo," "Charge," and "Ghost Train," now is your chance.

Absolutely a great movie for Halloween, and better than "Citizen Kane"!

(3 stars) - Mid-century silliness
Interesting pair of movies that probably would have been forgotten if not for their attachment to the same team that made the Beach Party movies. Both movies are redolent of Scooby Doo episodes, complete with baddies in costume and, of course, meddling kids. The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini is definitely the best of the two, however. Mediocre movies even in their day but fascinating glimpses into the zeitgeist of mid-century America. Recommended, but mostly for historical schtick.
