(Less than) six degrees of Luciana Paluzzi; new this week at the buffet...

Today's title refers to one of the actresses in this week's second menu item; in Tragic Ceremony Luciana Paluzzi plays Lady Alexander, a Satanic Majesty with a request for eternal life. A role that affords her about five to ten minutes at the beginning of the movie and about five minutes at the end.

Her degrees of separation from our first menu item is that our copy of Attack Of The Crab Monsters is part of a triple feature we taped off of TCM featuring the aforementioned Corman classic along with The Killer Shrews and The Green Slime. The latter is a kooky, kitschy Sci-Fi film starring - yep, you guessed it, Luciana Paluzzi. Only in this one she plays a doctor and has much more screentime.

Also of note while we're on the subject: The Green Slime's title track is awesome and has been covered by at least one band that I know of, The Fuzztones. Although their version is more atmospheric and a lot less rockin' than the original.

Anywhoo, now back to our menu...

First join the Kommandant as he returns to his Corman Corner to get pinched by the claws of Attack Of The Crab Monsters.

Then join Bunny and accept an invitation to a somewhat tragic, somewhat Satanic, tragic ceremony, Tragic Ceremony.
