January Desktop Calendar

Here's a desktop calendar I designed; feel free to use and forward to friends. I'll be doing one for every month this year.

WINNING, etc.

The Tri-City Twin screened this diverse pair of triple-features in January, 1970. WINNING (1969) was a Paul Newman race car flick. THE LOST MAN (1969) was an updated remake of ODD MAN OUT with Sidney Poiter; no DVD yet. EYE OF THE CAT (1969) was a Universal horror film written by Joseph Stefano; no home video release. THE UNDEFEATED (1969) was a John Wayne/Rock Hudson western. 100 RIFLES (1969) was a 20th Century Fox western featuring Raquel Welch and Jim Brown. FIVE MILLION YEARS TO EARTH was the US title for QUATERMASS AND THE PIT (1967), the Hammer science fiction classic.

WILD IN THE STREETS, etc.

Here are a couple of ads for the caustic counterculture satire WILD IN THE STREETS (1968), both from July, 1968. The Super 50 paired it logically with its trippy AIP peer PSYCH-OUT (1968), while Proctor's teamed it with THE COBRA, AIP's release of the Italian/Spanish spy thriller Il Cobra (1967); no official video release known, but it is available on the gray market.

Western Aires

The Western Aires played Schenectady's Maxwell House Restaurant (now an Eckerd Drugs) in February, 1962.

THE VAMPIRE LOVERS / THE CRIMSON CULT

Proctor's screened this British horror double-feature in January, 1971. THE VAMPIRE LOVERS (1970) was a Hammer lesbian vampire tale with Ingrid Pitt. THE CRIMSON CULT was AIP's release of the Lovecraftian Tigon production CURSE OF THE CRIMSON ALTAR (1968); no R1 DVD yet.

VENUS / COOL IT BABY

This double-feature played the Cinema Art in June, 1968. Not sure what VENUS this could be; any suggestions? COOL IT, BABY (1967) was a sleazy Lou Campa sexploiter with writer Bhob Stewart (!).
