In The Unknown Terror, a millionaire (John Howard) leads a remote jungle expedition to find the legendary “Cave of the Dead” where his wife’s (Mala Powers) brother had disappeared long ago. Instead, they stumble upon a mad doctor who has created a horde of foam-spewing, fungus-covered monster-men. In The Colossus of New York, when a brilliant scientist (Ross Martin) is accidentally killed, his preserved brain is transferred to the body of a giant robot so that it can continue to serve mankind. But when it gains awareness of its own hideousness, this steel colossus embarks on a rampage of destruction. In Destination Inner Space, when an object of unknown origin is detected in the area of an underwater laboratory, scientists investigate and come face to face with the object—an extraterrestrial saucer! They board the craft and discover a mysterious cylinder, which they take back to the lab for closer inspection. It is then that events take a monstrous turn!

Producer Earle Lyon is a lost man in B-movie history, but his films, when taken together, show a common style, tone, and low-budget body of work equal to that of Larry Buchanan. Lyon’s pictures were usually directed by his brother Francis D. Lyon. Their films are distinguished by the moody stock library music that is heard over and over in all of the films. The odd processed color, and the characters often in monotone body suits wandering around Bronson Canyon add to the general, mysterious, low-budget vibe.
Destination Inner Space (1966) was their first and most well-known feature, a favorite of monster runamuck fans. Dimension 5 (1966) and Cyborg 2087 (1966) were likely filmed back to back as they use similar locations and lo-fi special effects. Castle of Evil (1967) is an extremely fun haunted house picture. All of these movies are so atmospheric as to border on the hypnotic. The Money Jungle (1967) is a film I have never seen, but it features a cameo by Don Rickles. The Destructors (1968) rounds out this era with more bad special effects, library music, and actors who’ve seen better days.
The Lyons often enlisted the services of Franklin Adreon, an editor and filmmaker who had worked for a generation on Republic Pictures serials. He knew how to cut corners and make a film more exciting than it deserved to be with fast editing skills. Aderon’s made most of his money recutting old serials and re-releasing them as hour-long movies.
I used to think these films were just part of a general genre, until I learned they were all made by the same company. After initial drive-in runs, they played on late night television frequently throughout the late 1960s and 70s.
