00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:30,000 [Music] 261 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,000 In the lab, Professor Erling and Victor are showing Dr. Bob how their machine works. 262 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:40,000 A bottle is placed in the machine, a sparkler effect ignites, and a new, differently shaped bottle has taken its place. 263 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,000 Dr. Bob thinks that this is some sort of parlor trick. 264 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:50,000 But Dr. Erling explains that it's in exchange a trade, just like every early explorer did, bartering with the natives. 265 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,000 They're trading with some future person. 266 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000 Dr. Bob is convinced. 267 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,000 How is the professor so certain that this new artifact came from the future? 268 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000 How else can you explain it, Assef Victor? 269 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,000 Dr. Bob smiles and says everything he's seen can be done by any stage magician. 270 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,000 So Dr. Bob wants to try something else. 271 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,000 Suppose Dr. Bob were to randomly choose an object for exchange. 272 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,000 He selects his Phi Beta Capy key. 273 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,000 It's placed in the mechanism, and what comes out is a small disk. 274 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,000 Whatever it is, was a lot more spectacular to the last time, says Dr. Bob. 275 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,000 They pull out the disk and has lettering on it. In Greek, save us, it says. 276 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:29,000 That night, Victor comes on to the veranda where Dr. Bob and Claire seem to be smuggling together. 277 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,000 But Victor doesn't seem to care about that. 278 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:37,000 He's pissed that Bob convinced Dr. Erling to stop the experiments, because that metal tag turned out to be radioactive. 279 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000 Dr. Bob says it's just until they find out more. 280 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,000 But Victor thinks he's being coward when they should be taking chances. 281 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000 Claire tells Victor he's being rude. 282 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,000 And Victor says you would take his side on this. 283 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000 Dr. Bob says he doesn't want to come between the two of them, and he's going up to bed. 284 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000 So exo, Dr. Bob. 285 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,000 Claire bitterly bites it, Victor, for wanting to fight Dr. Bob. 286 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,000 And says she doesn't want to end up married to a bully. 287 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:05,000 Victor, who has yet to acknowledge that he and Claire are actually engaged, is still moaning. 288 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,000 Here we are with the most advanced technology of the age, but we can't do anything. 289 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,000 Victor thinks that by unlocking the future, he'll be on top of the world. 290 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,000 Claire just tells him to go to bed. 291 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,000 Dr. Bob is gone to his room, but he can't go to bed because the professor is sitting on his bed, talking his ear off. 292 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000 Bob is in a chair next to his bed. 293 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:29,000 While Dr. Erling is raving about the future, a golden age where we can communicate with the future people, blah, blah, blah. 294 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000 So Bob is forced to fake a yawn to get the professor off his bed. 295 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,000 Outside, Claire and Victor are still sitting on the veranda. 296 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,000 Claire calls on Goodnight to Angelo, who is going to his shack for the night. 297 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,000 Victor asks if she's planning on adding him to her string of conquest. 298 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,000 And Claire is insulted, rightly so, and says she's going inside. 299 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,000 Then as the Victor is coming and he says no, he's got some thinking to do. 300 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,000 So Claire goes to her room to get ready for bed, and Victor goes down to the lab to mess with the machine again. 301 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,000 From outside, Angelo was watching Claire through her window as she's changing. 302 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:05,000 As Victor is checking the dials on the mechanism, a hand comes out from the machine and reaches a Victor. 303 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,000 In her room, Claire looks out the window and realizes she's being watched and screams. 304 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:15,000 The scream startles Victor and at hand, Victor starts to go off to investigate, but the hand grabs him. 305 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:23,000 Victor struggles to get away and grabs a wrench from the workbench and throws it at the machine and the hand reads treats back into the chamber and Victor bolts the door to the machine. 306 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:28,000 Dr. Bob and Dr. Irling rushed to Claire. She says there's something out there. 307 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,000 Her dad looks out the window and he sees it too, so he and Bob run outside. 308 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:37,000 As they go downstairs, Victor starts to come out of the lab, but Tux Badgain is the professor and Dr. Bob race by. 309 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,000 Once outside, Bob and Dr. Irling see Angelo chasing down and tackle him. 310 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,000 He claims he didn't do nothing. 311 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,000 Victor sneaks out of the lab and back up to his room. His arm has been scratched pretty badly by that hand. 312 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,000 Dr. Bob runs upstairs to tell Claire they caught the culprit and it was only Angelo. 313 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000 He'd never admitted says Dr. Bob, but he was probably peaking. 314 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,000 Dr. Bob advises that she keep her blinds closed, reaching pastor to pull them for her. 315 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:08,000 She finds

herself close enough to kiss him. She apologizes for making a fuss, but he takes advantage of her obvious interest and plants one back on her. 316 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,000 She looks at him and says, I thought you were the cautious type. 317 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:16,000 And then the professor comes in to tell Claire the news that it was only Angelo, but he finds Dr. Bob and Claire in each other's arms. 318 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000 I guess Bob already told you he says. 319 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,000 Good thing the noise didn't wake up Victor. The professor leaves and disgust. 320 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,000 Claire says that Victor was still on side and said he had some thinking to do. 321 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,000 And Dr. Bob says he wants to give Victor something else to think about, so he kisses her again. 322 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,000 And now we're in Angelo's shack. 323 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:38,000 It seems that many AIP movies of this era have a pervy man who lives in a shed by himself. 324 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:45,000 For Angelo, just like him in a beast with a million eyes, loves his girly mags and texts the pictures onto the wall. 325 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,000 Angelo complains about being accused of being a peeper. 326 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,000 Then he goes on to ogle some chicks in his magazine. 327 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,000 Dr. Bob leaves Claire in a very good mood. 328 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,000 She continues to get ready for bed and Dr. Bob notices a trail on the floor. 329 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,000 He follows it down to the laboratory. He checks the door. It's locked. 330 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000 He checks the trail. It's blood. 331 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,000 The next morning, Dr. Bob meets with Professor Eurling to report his findings. 332 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:14,000 Dr. Bob believes that Victor, through his continued and unauthorized experiments, has brought life through the machine. 333 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:19,000 But the professor can't abide these accusations against Victor, especially after what he saw last night. 334 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:24,000 Then the professor says that Dr. Bob needed to see the experiment performed under his own conditions to prove it to himself 335 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,000 that what Professor Eurling was saying was true, and the professor will require the same courtesy. 336 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,000 So Dr. Bob says he's not to prove that what he says is true. 337 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:40,000 He strips down to his simpsuit again. Claire asks him if he's going swimming and he says, "Yup, he goes on to where Victor has dumped those cases the days before." 338 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000 And Victor hauls out of the house after him. 339 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:47,000 Dr. Bob brings up one of the cases and throws it on the shore, then dies back down after the other. 340 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:52,000 Victor picks up the case and when Dr. Bob's head emerges from the muck, Victor throws the case at him. 341 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,000 It doesn't hit Dr. Bob's head though. He ducks out of the way. 342 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,000 Victor runs to where there's a small boat docked and standing in it. 343 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,000 He panels out to where Dr. Bob is treading water. He starts trying to brain him with his or. 344 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:09,000 Dr. Bob grabs the or, tumbling Victor into the water, and then the two start slapping at each other. 345 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,000 Angelo, seeing them fight, runs up to the house. 346 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,000 Once inside, Angelo tells Claire and Professor Eurling what's going on. 347 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,000 Then everyone runs down to the pond, just as Bob knocks Victor out. 348 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:28,000 He pulls Victor's inert form out of the water. Dr. Eurling assumes the worst of Dr. Bob, but Bob says Victor started it. 349 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:37,000 Dr. Eurling still not convinced so Bob rips open Victor's shirt to reveal what he says are radiation burns, but what looked to me like twigs and leaves. 350 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,000 In the lab, and now conscious Victor is being confronted by the professor and Dr. Bob. 351 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:48,000 Victor is going to be sent to the hospital. Victor is still going on about how he has been continuing the experimentation and the others were afraid to do. 352 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,000 Dr. Bob asks who he's brought through something alive and Victor laughs now who sounds crazy. 353 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:58,000 But they take Victor to the hospital. The doctor tells them that it's going to be a few hours as they run tests and everything. 354 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,000 So he suggests they go get something to eat and call later. So Claire, Dr. Bob and the professor drive off. 355 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,000 And as I use though, we see Victor running from the hospital. 356 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:13,000 So they find a restaurant. Claire goes into the security table and Dr. Bob makes the call to the hospital. 357 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:20,000 The hospital says that Victor never checked in. Bob released this news to the professor and says they can't get a table for a few hours. 358 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,000 Dr. Bob asks if there's a good movie in town. Well, there's a movie, but not a good one. 359 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000 The local theater is playing something called I was a teenage Frankenstein. 360 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:34,000 Never heard of it. Dr. Bob, the professor and Claire come out of the theater laughing. So they've obviously had a good time. 361 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,000 Dr. Bob lumbars around showing off his best Frankenstein moves. 362 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:46,000 I think they're laughing at the movie, not because of it. Back in that same restaurant, Victor, who sat himself at the bar so he didn't have to wait for a table is

drinking a lot. 363 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:54,000 And nursing is wounded pride later. He stumbles out of the bar and down to the water where he steals a motorboat and he heads back to the island. 364 00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:00,000 When he gets there, he breaks down the lab door and he switches on the machine now clear the professor and Dr. Bob are at the restaurant. 365 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,000 The waiter comments that the professor's assistant was there earlier. 366 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:09,000 He got pretty drunk and they had to ask him to leave the professor thinks he must have been mistaken because it couldn't have been Victor. 367 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:15,000 The restaurant TV is turned on, but there's interference in the signal. Claire recognizes it as the same interference that would occur whenever the professor would have been. 368 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:25,000 When he lives in town, the professor recognizes this too and deduced that someone is operating the mechanism at levels that have never been reached before. 369 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:31,000 Max power. So the three of them race back toward the house by boat back in the lab. Victor's intent on his work. 370 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:36,000 He just dials and levers and looks in the window of the time machine out in the water. 371 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:43,000 He's worried that the boat engine is going to die soon as it always does when they approach the island and somebody's using the equipment. 372 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:48,000 An angelos shack is losing his porn viewing light. Then the boat engine does stop. 373 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:55,000 And they're stuck in lab. Victor has been overloading the generator and that causes the machine to blow. 374 00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,000 Something comes out of the machine screaming. And a nox victor down. 375 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:07,000 It's like a furious pig with a power out the boat can proceed, but Angelo can't look at his magazines. His lights are out for good. 376 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:16,000 Dr. Bob the professor and Claire reached the island and go inside and really find the injured Victor. Claire goes off to find some lights and tells Angelo that Victor is hurt. 377 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,000 Angelo goes to the lab and the professor tells him to take the boat and go get a doctor. 378 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:28,000 Later we see the doctors arrived and Victor is comfortable in bed. But when Claire says that she'll stay with him, the doctor says that since they don't have a phone, 379 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:37,000 it's a nurse to come to the island to care for Victor. In the laboratory, Dr. Bob works to restore the power and Dr. Erling asks what scared Victor like that? 380 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:42,000 Dr. Bob doesn't know, but he believes at least part of the answer kept me found in those cases down in the swamp. 381 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,000 Angelo is walking around outside when he comes across something glittering. 382 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:52,000 He seems mesmerized by the glow and walks towards it. The glow is coming from something shaped like a woman. 383 00:23:52,000 --> 00:24:00,000 The woman turns and charges at Angelo's screaming. It's a horrible noise. And she's glimmering like a disco ball. 384 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,000 The creature rears up on a tine and only legs and lunges for Angelo. 385 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:10,000 We see its horrible face only briefly as it moves in for the kill, streaking horribly the whole time. 386 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,000 The next day Dr. Bob is planning on going down after those cases yet a third time. 387 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:24,000 Claire is soaking up some Florida rays near him and Claire has provided skin diving equipment so now Dr. Bob can dive with the mask and flippers since he's not being so secretive about his motives. 388 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:29,000 He goes down and brings up a case and opens it. It looks like a ordinary house cat says Claire. 389 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:36,000 Later when they're walking around, they spy a mysterious floating object. It's a hat. And the hat's on top of something. 390 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:48,000 Whatever it is, Bob flips it over and it's the dead body of Angelo later at Angelo's impromptu autopsy. Dr. Erling notices the burn marks on Angelo that resemble victors. 391 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:56,000 Claire admits that she's told Victor about Angelo. Her father says she shouldn't have said anything, but Claire says she's glad she did because Victor knows what killed Angelo. 392 00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:04,000 So everyone goes upstairs to confront Victor again. Victor says that when he brought back that cat to the apparatus that he knew he was on the right track. 393 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:12,000 Cat you call that thing a cat asked Dr. Bob. Victor says he thought he had reached a band of primitives and that they're which doctors had made it that way. 394 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:20,000 That's totally logical. Dr. Bob says that cat wasn't made it was born that way it's a mutation. Well that explains that woman starts Victor. 395 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:26,000 Dr. Bob says if that woman came from the same place that cat did it's a wonder you were even able to recognize her as a woman. 396 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:35,000 Professor says that the cat was still extremely radioactive and Victor is lucky his radiation burns aren't worse than they are. Victor is more worried about the woman he brought through the machine. 397 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,000 Claire reminds everyone that a nurse has been sent for to look after Victor. 398 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:45,000 Professor Erling wishes she were there already. Victor says they need to do something about that creature. And for once Bob agrees. 399 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:52,000 They have to get her before she makes it off the island and hurt someone else. Then we fade up on Florence Nightingale, trivesing through the swamp lands. 400

00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:59,000 The creature sees her and starts talking. She calls out some gibberish words but the nurse doesn't understand those words. 401 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:08,000 And she says so the creature is surprised that she's not speaking Greek like she expected due to the Phi Beta Kappa key she saw transitions into English. 402 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:13,000 She asked for help but the nurse just likes it with the creature and hot pursuit. 403 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,000 Wait I need your help shots the terror from the year 5000. 404 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:26,000 But a nurse help a wounded person the nurse chips and falls gets up and runs straight into the strange woman the nurses screams can be heard from inside the house. 405 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:32,000 Back to Bob asked if the professor has a gun handy and the professor has a 20 gauge uses to shoot ducks. 406 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:39,000 They'll don anti radiation suits and take that shotgun and go outside and investigate with the nurse out of commission. 407 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:46,000 The creature pause at her face and realizes it's pretty nice and it'll go to waste if she just leaves her there for dead. 408 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,000 So she pulls out a blank latex mask and it fixes it to the nurse's face. 409 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:56,000 It settles down into her features and then the future woman peels the mask off and applies it to her own face. 410 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:02,000 Back at the house Dr Bob and professor Irling are ready to leave when there's an ocathodore. 411 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,000 They answer it and it's nurse. 412 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,000 You did finger quotes there. 413 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:20,000 You were expecting me she asks we were expecting you earlier they say the patient is much better now Claire jumps in and says but it's alright you came just in time and now she won't be so frightened when the two men leave. 414 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:25,000 So Dr Bob and the professor go outside wearing their anti radiation suits but without the hoods. 415 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000 That's useful. 416 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:34,000 Invictors room he seems a lot better he's explaining about how he helped the woman and the nurse says she understands. 417 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,000 And then she reveals her hands which have glittery silver nails. 418 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,000 Victor freaks out a little but she tells him to be calm. 419 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,000 Victor's confused because she's not hideous like the woman from last night. 420 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:53,000 So the nurse explains in her time there's a lot of radioactivity in the atmosphere by the year 5,000 every fifth child was born a mutant. 421 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,000 The mutants are all rounded up into a colony and that's where he found her. 422 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:07,000 But you ask how she got here and she says that she was selected to come and bring a picture back with her and only with fresh preatomic jeans introduced to their count can they break this cycle of mutation. 423 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,000 Just then Claire comes in and checks to see if everything's alright. 424 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,000 The nurse says they're getting along splitedly. 425 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,000 And why is some Claire go get some sleep. 426 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,000 Claire says she will but first she wants to get some fresh water. 427 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,000 She picks up the craft behind the nurse and drops it. 428 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:25,000 When she goes to pick it up she knows that this nurse is not wearing sensible nurse shoes. 429 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,000 No it's glittery silver high heels. 430 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000 Victor comes around about now and says he must have been dreaming. 431 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:35,000 Claire offers to stay with them but the nurse is insistent that he needs to sleep and she must leave. 432 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,000 So then the strange woman slash nurse brings Victor down to the lab to operate the apparatus. 433 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,000 Claire hears the sound and comes down to investigate. 434 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:48,000 The woman has removed her nurse clothes but she is still wearing the nurse's face and she's hiding in the shadows. 435 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:53,000 Claire tells Victor to come with her and he should be in bed but Victor tells her he's got to get back to the future. 436 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,000 Then the terror from the year 5000 jumps out and says leave him alone. 437 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,000 Out exploring Dr. Bob and Professor Erling find the body of the nurse. 438 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:07,000 But she doesn't have a face and if the nurse is here who's back at the house with Victor and Claire? 439 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,000 Uh oh. 440 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:13,000 In the lab Claire is still trying to convince Victor to go to bed telling him he's hypnotized and he's confused. 441 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:17,000 As a strange woman blames Claire for the future to which she's about to return. 442 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:22,000 She says that they learned that the woman of the 20th century stood idly by while the radiation built up. 443 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,000 50s women were supposed to stop it somehow. 444 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,000 Victor says she's right and Claire asks him then why is she have to hypnotize you? 445 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,000 The strange woman warns Claire not to make her kill again. 446 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,000 Again, ask Claire so it was you who killed Angelo. 447 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,000 Claire asks Victor what he thinks of his angel of mercy now. 448 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,000 The creature lunges at Claire. 449 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,000 As Claire fights back the creature's mask comes off and Claire's hand. 450 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,000 And then Victor

finally snaps out of it seeing that she's one of them. 451 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:56,000 The mutant the future woman attacks Victor and he's very badly professor early and Dr. Bob enter the room. 452 00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:01,000 See what's going on and Dr Bob shoots at her she screeches and tries to get back inside the device. 453 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,000 Victor grabs the door and there's a power surge and then the whole thing goes to blue. 454 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,000 Victor and the creature are both dead. 455 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,000 Dr Bob wants to know if there is some way they can provide the genes the future people will need. 456 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:17,000 But to send people through would just mean more of the radiation here as well as more of the mutants. 457 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:22,000 Dr. Erling says there's another way they can change the future by fixing the present. 458 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,000 However, I'm sure the three of them won't change a damn thing. 459 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000 And that's the end. 460 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:40,000 You're listening to the American International podcast where we're discussing terror from the year 5000 from 1958. 461 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,000 The working title of the film was The Girl from 5,000 AD. 462 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:51,000 The film was on AIP's production schedule as early as the fall of 1957 and it was supposed to be produced by Roger Korman. 463 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:56,000 James Nicholson of course was the one who retitled it terror from the year 5000. 464 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:02,000 Though unqueneted, the screenplay is based on the short story Bottle Baby by print TV film writer Henry Slasar. 465 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,000 That was published in the science fiction magazine Fantastic in April 1957. 466 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,000 Though the finished script or the little resemblance to that story by the time it was produced. 467 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,000 Outdoor shots were filmed in and around Dave County, Florida. 468 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:20,000 Frederick Downes, who played Professor Erling narrated most of AIP's trailers during this time period. 469 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:26,000 Joyce Holden, who played Claire, was a former beauty pageant contestant who won titles like Miss Southern California and Miss Television. 470 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000 I want to be Miss Television. 471 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:34,000 Although many modern sources note that stage in television actress Salamy Jen's feature film debut was in 1961, 472 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,000 terror from the year 5000 was her actual debut. 473 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:45,000 Beatrice Ferdot, who has a small supporting role as Dr. Hedges' assistant Miss Blake, was married to producer director Robert J. Gurney Jr. 474 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:51,000 She is also credited as Beatrice Gurney as production supervisor and co-production designer on the film. 475 00:31:51,000 --> 00:32:03,000 This movie is one of the earliest film credits for D.D. Allen, who got her break at AIP and went on to a career editing such feature films as The Hustler, Bonnie and Clyde, Dog Day Afternoon and Reds. 476 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:13,000 In January 2000, Variety interview, Allen mentioned that an entire reel was cut from terror from the year 5000 before its release because of the producer's dissatisfaction with Joyce Holden, who played Claire Erling. 477 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:18,000 This is a possible explanation for the eight-minute discrepancy between the contemporary Hollywood reporter and variety reviews. 478 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:27,000 Terror from the year 5000 was released in November of 1958, as a second feature on a double bill with either the screaming skull or the spider, depending on the theater location. 479 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:32,000 The tagline for Terror from the year 5000 was "From Time Unborn, A Hedges She Thing." 480 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:40,000 AIP's press book for the screaming skull and Terror from the year 5000 build the double feature as the ghost of Earth Past and Earth Future. 481 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:50,000 In the Los Angeles Mirror review, the author enjoyed the spider and called it worth seeing if you're key on horror epics, otherwise you can cut out on terror since there is nothing to miss. 482 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:57,000 Charitably speaking, this one is a so-so yarn and the plot is a jumble that doesn't make much sense even by the standards of fictional science. 483 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:07,000 The Hollywood reporter called the film "Fairly Interesting" because of the far-fetched novelty, but variety's review was harsher, calling it a "weaky" even for the small exploitation field. 484 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:16,000 The monthly film bulletin review said, "The woman from the future is an unimaginative creation and whatever horror if it possibilities she has are soon expended." 485 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,000 A sad little creature in a tight set of black woolies. 486 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:25,000 The film was crudely photographed with no noticeable interest in continuity and little attempt at a convincing setting. 487 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:45,000 The film's "Fugut Ideas" don't go very far and that it features a far-from-interesting love triangle and a mystery that never really resolves itself satisfactorily and that it was weary and slightly brow-beaten, but also that director Gurney is capable of isolated moments of real atmosphere and suspense. 488 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:50,000 He did invasion of the saucer meant to, so I absolutely believe he can do better than this. 489 00:33:50,000 --> 00:34:03,000 The film was featured on Mystery Science Theatre during the show's eighth season on the sci-fi network. 490 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:15,000 Most Cheryl, I really wish that the terror from the year 5000 was a better movie than it is. 491 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:23,000 It's sad too because it is a good

idea. It just wasn't realized in any meaningful way. 492 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,000 It wasn't well executed, no. 493 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,000 I mean, I don't have a problem if science doesn't make sense in a movie. 494 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:33,000 At least be consistent with what you're saying. They backtrack and contradict themselves so much in this movie. 495 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:37,000 It seems like they're making it up on the fly. They pay no attention to continuity. 496 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:43,000 And I think the other thing that really hurts this film is that there's no real characters for you to latch onto. 497 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,000 There's nobody interesting in this film. 498 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:53,000 No, in fact, Victor and Dr. Bob are so interchangeable that we couldn't tell them apart. 499 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,000 And at one point you even thought they were the same person. 500 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,000 They have no distinguishing features whatsoever. 501 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:03,000 They're bland, boring, middle-class, middle-century white people. 502 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,000 Nobody is very exciting here. 503 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,000 They have a mad scientist who's not quite that mad. I guess Victor... 504 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:16,000 Oh, yeah. Proof that he's not. Right. That is my favorite part of the whole movie. He's not crazy. 505 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:23,000 Yeah, you have proof that I'm not insane. I am putting that in every single email I send from this point forward. 506 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,000 But he wasn't the insane one. It was a victor. 507 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,000 So I guess that was just supposed to put us off the track. 508 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:34,000 The mad scientist was really the guy who was the money guy to the point where you sacrificed himself to experiment. 509 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:41,000 I didn't even catch that he was the money guy. I was trying to figure out how he wanted to be the professor's assistant because he doesn't have a background in science. 510 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,000 No, he's got a background in having money. 511 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,000 And he's engaged to the professor's daughter. 512 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:52,000 So usually that happens in these movies where the assistant has eyes on the main doctor's daughter. 513 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,000 But it seemed like that might have happened first. 514 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,000 Maybe. 515 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,000 When you realize that no, he had money that it was probably after the fact. 516 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:04,000 We didn't really get a lot of backstory. They didn't expend a lot of time letting us get to know these characters. 517 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:09,000 And certainly not to have them having any kind of relationship whatsoever because he's more into Dr. Bob. 518 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,000 Since he shows up and we're following him from the beginning. 519 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:19,000 And he doesn't seem to care about her at all except to snipe at her a few times about having a string of conquests. 520 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,000 So their relationship is not existent as far as we can tell. 521 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:27,000 And Dr. Bob doesn't even seem that interesting except for that one time in her bedroom when he's Mac and Honor. 522 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:32,000 Right. I thought maybe they knew each other from before because he was old friends with Dr. Erling. 523 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,000 But he didn't know her at all, which is weird. 524 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,000 No, he made her prove who she was. 525 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,000 Right. 526 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,000 So that didn't make sense. 527 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,000 And like you said, the science made no sense. 528 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,000 Carbon dating things from the future. 529 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:50,000 Why would they even bother sending it to a museum curator to carbon date when it's from the future? 530 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,000 Oh, and surprise. It's way to do active. 531 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,000 Oh, yeah. 532 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:57,000 We just wanted to shock you into coming down here. 533 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,000 The whole thing is just a bit sketchy. 534 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,000 The whole story doesn't hold together. It's kind of annoying. 535 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:06,000 Another question I have was glittery nail polish kind of a new thing at this time. 536 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,000 It looks like they put tin foil laminants on her nails. 537 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,000 She holds up her hands and kind of wiggles her fingers. 538 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:16,000 And this is how she mesmerizes people into doing her bidding. 539 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:20,000 Well, that and her sparkly disco jumpsuit that she wears. 540 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,000 It makes a force field of lights that surround her. 541 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,000 And we never get to see what those heels are capable of. 542 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:33,000 No, I can't believe she was running around in those in the swamp chasing down Angelo and the nurse. 543 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,000 She wasn't wearing those outside. 544 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,000 She was wearing sensible shoes. 545 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,000 I don't know where those silver high heels came from. 546 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,000 This movie is just silly, honestly. 547 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,000 It's hard to take seriously. 548 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:51,000 But for me, what really defines AIP is these early 50s black and white sci-fi and horror movies. 549 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,000 Like I was a teenage werewolf. 550 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:57,000 The beast with a million eyes, blood of Dracula, the brain that wouldn't die. 551 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,000 The sheet creature, all those ones with these iconic posters. 552

00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,000 And the tear from the year 5,000 is one of those. 553 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,000 But the film certainly doesn't live up to the poster. 554 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,000 As most of these don't. 555 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,000 No. 556 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,000 This one doesn't even come close. 557 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:19,000 No. And the fact that they put it in a second bill of the double feature tells me that they weren't really invested in making it any better than it is. 558 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,000 That's true. 559 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:24,000 I love the streaming skull, but it's not a great movie by any stretch of the imagination. 560 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,000 Nor is the spider. 561 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,000 And I would expect the streaming skull to be the B feature with whatever you pair it with. 562 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:35,000 So the fact that does not even a lower rung than that really says something. 563 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,000 And not good. 564 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:43,000 I thought they could have done a lot more with the creature. Well, I call her the creature. She's a human being, but she's a mutant from the future. 565 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,000 They could have done more with her. 566 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,000 They make her make the sound that's. 567 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:52,000 I said it was like part wild cat part pig and part cat that just got stepped on. 568 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:56,000 So what it sounds like and they don't let her do a whole lot in the movie. 569 00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:00,000 She doesn't even come in until the last 15 minutes of the movie. 570 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,000 So this terror is not even realized until the movie is practically over. 571 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:08,000 They gave her a little bit of backstory, but by that time she'd already hurt a lot of people. 572 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:12,000 So it's impossible to sympathize with her or her future people. 573 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:19,000 I think one of the smartest things about this film though is that when she shows up, she's speaking Greek based upon that thing that she received. 574 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,000 The letters on it. 575 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,000 The Greek key. 576 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,000 Yeah. 577 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,000 It's three letters. 578 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,000 I mean, I don't think that defines a language, but what do I know? 579 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,000 Well, she's got to try something. 580 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:34,000 I mean, obviously they aren't studying their own history. 581 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,000 I mean, this is still Earth. 582 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:41,000 So they would know that Greek isn't spoken within the United States, which is going to at least geographically, 583 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,000 whether it's still the United States by then, who knows? 584 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,000 Probably not. 585 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,000 But not on the continent of North America. 586 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,000 No one speaks Greek here. 587 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,000 We know how in Firefly, the Chinese language took over the whole universe. 588 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:57,000 Well, maybe in terror from the year 5,000, the Greek language takes over the entire planet. 589 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,000 But she's still learning English, so they're on her. 590 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,000 Right. 591 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,000 I mean, can you imagine us learning a language from 5,000 years ago? 592 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,000 Well, it had to be Greek or Latin. 593 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,000 English wasn't even spoken 5,000 years ago. 594 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,000 And the language has changed a lot, even in the course of one person's lifetime. 595 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:19,000 So it would be unintelligible unless they still have those hooked on phonics tapes in the future. 596 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:24,000 I think the most charitable thing I can say is that it wasn't good, but it wasn't that bad. 597 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,000 It's certainly a movie. 598 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,000 The sets weren't falling apart. 599 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,000 The four-eyed cat looked like a cat with four eyes. 600 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,000 It sure did. 601 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,000 A waterlogged cat with four eyes. 602 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,000 It didn't look that waterlogged considering it had been in a swamp for three days. 603 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,000 Yeah, he left the case open, too. 604 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,000 When Dr. Bob went down to find it the first time, he tried to shut the case, 605 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,000 but it didn't shut all the way. 606 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:51,000 And not only did the cat not float away, it didn't get any more decay than it already was. 607 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,000 I don't know. 608 00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:00,000 The movie tries to paint the entire human race as the bad guys because we're destroying our own future. 609 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,000 And that kind of rings true today. 610 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,000 Yeah, that's fair. 611 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,000 I believe it. 612 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:09,000 But the fake optimistic message at the end that we can change it. 613 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,000 I mean, we know that's not going to happen. 614 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,000 Nothing is going to change. 615 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,000 One day we'll wish we had. 616 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:23,000 It's almost optimistic to think that Earth will be inhabitable in the year 5,000, because I'm not so sure right now. 617 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:29,000 So given what we've discussed here, how are you going to rate tariff in the year 5,000 using our AIP scale 618 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,000 where A is awesome, IZ intermediate and P is pathetic. 619 00:41:33,000 -->

00:41:37,000 I think it doesn't fall to the level of pathetic. 620 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:44,000 I think I gave the beast with a million eyes at pathetic rating, just because it was such a false promise 621 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:51,000 and such a bait and switch where all these things that we were told to expect they didn't have the budget for 622 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:55,000 and they had to write them out of the story basically explain them away. 623 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,000 And I really didn't like that movie. 624 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,000 And this one I think is marginally better than that. 625 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:06,000 Not much in that the tariff from the year 5,000 was just one angry mutant. 626 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,000 It should have been a lot worse. 627 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,000 It should have been a lot more terrifying and it wasn't. 628 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:15,000 But I'm not inclined to give this one a P because I just don't think it's that bad. 629 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:21,000 It's on the lower end of average sliding towards poor, but I'm going to give it a N.I. 630 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,000 And just for no other reason then they tried, they did the best they could. 631 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:31,000 They obviously didn't have much of a budget and they are all running around in the swamp shooting on location. 632 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:36,000 So given credit for that, was it a fake swamp? What do you think? 633 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:41,000 If I'm going to compare it to the beast with the million eyes, I think I liked beast better than this one. 634 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:46,000 Not because it was a better movie, but it falls into the category of so bad that it's good. 635 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:52,000 There was a lot to enjoy about that movie and I didn't find any of that in tariff from the year 5,000. 636 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:57,000 It's not fun. None of the characters do anything really goofy that you can make fun of. 637 00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,000 Angela does. A little. 638 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,000 Not really. 639 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:10,000 There's no comic relief here except for maybe the scene when they're seeing I was saying Frankenstein and that's kind of bad. 640 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,000 Yeah, product placement. Very heavy handed at that. 641 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:19,000 Well, I was talking about Dr. Bob's Frankenstein impersonation with those of his arms and stiffly walks around. 642 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,000 That's not what happened in the movie. They obviously didn't see it. 643 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:27,000 So I'm going to slide it down the scale and I'm going to give this one a P. 644 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:34,000 I said I really wish that this was a better movie. I wanted to like it, but it just didn't do anything for me. 645 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,000 There's potential here for it to be a better movie. There's things they could have done differently. 646 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:42,000 Made the story better. Like you said, making the terror more of a terror. 647 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,000 And more a part of the movie. 648 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:51,000 I mean, how much of a threat is a terror from the year 5,000 if it's contained to a small island in central Florida? 649 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:52,000 Yeah. 650 00:43:52,000 --> 00:44:00,000 I think something like that would be more global or at least maybe in danger in a entire state instead of just a small portion of it. 651 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:06,000 Yeah. And if we have a time machine, then don't they have a time machine and couldn't they be pushing people from all over the world? 652 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,000 Just grabbing Victor is not going to save their race. 653 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:13,000 They need a lot of people taking against their will to their year. 654 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,000 But when the people they brought back just turn into mutants too? 655 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:21,000 Well, the radiation is better to say they wouldn't be in for a good time. I don't think. 656 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:28,000 No. So that's terrifying, but it wasn't implemented with any kind of, I guess, the plan didn't really have structure. 657 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:33,000 And whatever they thought she was going to accomplish would never have been that much. 658 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,000 And breaking the ice by sending trinkets back and forth. 659 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:40,000 I don't know how productive that is to getting to your end goal of saving the human race. 660 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,000 I guess you got to start somewhere. 661 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,000 Everyone likes a present. 662 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:49,000 It's just like putting coins down or trying to get someone to follow your path. 663 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:53,000 Well, it's too bad that this movie wasn't better than it was. 664 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,000 It's okay. I guess if people want to watch it, they can. 665 00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,000 Maybe they should watch the mystery science theater version. What do you think? 666 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,000 I watched it and I didn't think it was much better. 667 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,000 All right. Well, you're on your own then. Did we break the podcast barrier? 668 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:09,000 I think we're going to shut off the apparatus and just remain here in good old 2024 669 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,000 for the American International Podcast.
