Atragon [Kaitei Gunkan] (1963) / The Witch's Curse [Maciste all'inferno] (1962) / Two Thousand Maniacs! (1964) - Newspaper Ad

Oakland Tribune - March 11, 1965
Now this my kind of triple feature.

First we have Atragon, a colorful and exciting Japanese science-fantasy undersea adventure that features a submarine that can also fly. Next up is The Witch's Curse, an Italian peplum that sends strongman Maciste into Hell itself, so he can lift the titular curse from a long-suffering Scottish village.

Last, but in no way least, is Two Thousand Maniacs! The story of a Southern town celebrating its Centennial by slaughtering wayward tourists from the North. This would be the first Herschell Gordon Lewis movie I was able to see (when it was released on home video, way back in 1982) and remains my favorite to this day.

This triple bill really is a cinematic banana split of 1960's genre staples. It is perfect. No notes.
