We've quite a run of Trailer of the Week entries without any actual trailers, and here's another one! This is a clip of George Gobel from Harry Thomason's The Day it Came to Earth, which you can still see on the out-of-print Image DVD that released nearly a decade ago.
The Dead Next Door is a blog about regional or "backyard" horror and science fiction films made from the late 1950s to the earlyl 1990s (and beyond). These films were released during the peak years of independent film production, created by a motley crew of seasoned pros, gifted amateurs, and enthusiastic genre fans, along with dozens of eccentric dreamers -- doctors, lawyers, insurance salesmen, publishers, commercial filmmakers, TV production crews and moonlighting pornographers -- all looking for their big break or a fast buck or both.
