The Ghosts With The Most!

"Don't let the colorized cover fool you; "Ghost Of Dragstrip Hollow" (1959) is filmed in black and white. The first half of the movie is a teen comedy about drag racing. The twist is that the only ones who race in the movie are two chicks! You know that the movie is set in squaresville when the rival drag-racing gang wears suits and ties. The second half of the movie is a real gas, daddio. The gang can't raise the bread to keep their old clubhouse, so they're given an old, haunted house to fix up. These rock and roll ghostbusters drive the ghost out of the house with their swinging costume party. And the lingo the teenagers use in the movie is a blast, man!



I've been waiting for "The Ghost In The Invisible Bikini" (1966) to be released on video for years. This is the final film in the Beach Party series. In fact, the only characters from the series to appear in this film were Harvey Lembeck (Eric Von Zipper) and his motorcycle gang, the Rat Pack. The roles intended for Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello were played by Tommy Kirk and Deborah Walley. In addition, instead of surfing and dancing on the beach, they had to settle for having a pool party next to the haunted house. Movie veterans Boris Karloff (Hiram Stokely) and Basil Rathbone (Reginald Ripper) hammed it up for all they were worth. Nancy Sinatra and the Bobby Fuller Four provide the music, while Bobbi Shaw and Quinn O'Hara provide the pulchritude. A gorilla named Monstro, rubber-suited monsters, and a ghost with an invisible bikini (the sexy Susan Hart) are more silly than scary, and keep this colorful motion picture moving at full speed!"

"If you like teen classics, with ghosts than these 2 movies are great for you.

Roadster members of the famous drag-racing Kenith Club have blown a gasket since they wern't able to pay the rent and were thrown out of their groovy garage hangout. But luckily for them, a sweet old lady benefactor will let them user he house... only one problem though, it's haunted, and the only way to get rid of those eveil lil ghosts is to scare them out. Count on these Dragstrip racing teen's to get rid of the ghosts, in this pedal-to-the-medal thriller comedy. That really separated the chicks from the chickens!



SIDE B: The Ghost IN The Invisible Bikini. Poor dead Hiram (Boris Karloff)... he only has 24 hours to do a good dead or he won't be able to go to heaven! Happily, help arrives in the forum of a bikini-clad, vixen (Susan Hart)! Together, she and Hiram try to foil the plans of a dastardly lawyer (Basil Rathbone) hellbent on doing away with Hiram's teenage heirs and their entourage of Watusi-dancing, and singing friends before the reading of his will! From beach house to house of horrors, this fast and furious beach film will delight you, and startle you.

Drive in maddness

"The first film,"GHOST OF DRAGSTRIP HOLLOW" is a little slow and corny with square teens hanging out at there local malt shop.

The fun begins when they have a girls pajama party and then go to a spooky old house to have a costume party.And that parrot{the comedy relief} with the punch lines is funny and annoying at times.



The ,"GHOST IN THE INVISIBLE BIKINI" is the better of the 2 films!

Borris Karloff plays a small role but it's fun seeing Borris in anything.The kids aren't as square in this film and the Haunted House is kool!!

This film reminds me a lot of the tv show the MONKEES.It would also be fun to watch at your local Drive In theatre on a stormy summer night with the gang ,a few beers and your sweetie on your arm!"
