This perfect David L. Hewitt double bill arrived at the Circle Drive-In in Lubbock, TX on December 31, 1971. THE MAD DOCTOR'S MONSTERS CRASH THE PAJAMA PARTY is Hewitt's 30-minute spookshow classic MONSTERS CRASH THE PAJAMA PARTY (1965), while ATTACK OF THE DEATH MONSTERS is a re-release of his cheapo-cheapo KING KONG rip-off THE MIGHTY GORGA (1969), shot by Gary Graver in Bronson Canyon and starring Anthony Eisley, Scott Brady, Kent Taylor, Megan Timothy, Gary Kent, Greydon Clark, Sheldon Lee, a guy in a gorilla costume, and another guy in a dinosaur costume.
Goddammit, David Hewitt, THE MIGHTY GORGA may be the worst film I've ever seen. ATTACK OF THE DEATH MONSTERS. I wonder if any employee left that drive-in alive.
