Michael
Rennie reprises his role from the SciFi classic film The Day Earth
Stood Still (1951). Here, he is Dr Warnoff, an alien from Planet
Ummo who sets up shop in a Transylvanian castle where he hopes to concoct
a plot to conquer the Earth by preying on man's superstition. He brings
two dead scientists back to life to help him reanimate the world's legendary
monsters, including werewolf Waldemar Daninsky, the Frankenstein monster
(both played by Paul Naschy), the mummy Tao-Tet, and the vampire Nosferatu.
This
wildly outlandish film was the final project for veteran actor Michael
Rennie. He died a couple years later, in May 1992 at age 77. Co-star
Craig Hill was an American actor who made a name for himself in early
network television (best remembered for his P T Moore role in
the Whirlybirds series, 1957-60) before relocating to Italy for
a slew of Spaghetti Westerns. Mr Hill died from a heart attack in April
2014 at 88.
