Matso’s Melon Mint Hard Soda
They also do a Hard Lemon one, but it doesn’t taste that great, has a strange initial taste of either fake sweetener, or whatever alcohol they have used, or something.

The Alien Factor (1979)
The Alien Factor is a 1978 science fiction horror film written, edited, produced, and directed by Don Dohler. A spaceship crashes in a sparsely populated area of Earth and three horrific aliens survive the accident. The grotesque extraterrestrials soon begin to terrorize the local residents, until one intrepid soul chooses to fight back…says Wikipedia. From the great video covers below you cant tell this is going to be B-grade. The first two aliens encountered are standard men in costumes – one a rotten bug/knight? and the other a deformed sasquatch. The last of the 3 aliens – a chubby t-rex toy? – is projection or overlay effect. There is a fourth creature who dies shortly after being discovered and psychically transferring information into one of the main characters minds, an ape or zombie-ape with long white hair and wearing a addidas jumpsuit . The entire idea of the movie is pretty simple, as described above, and that’s what you get in between long conversations and footage of people walking around, lots. Its pretty standard stuff, but it has its charms. 2.5 stars.

Carnival of Souls (1962)
Carnival of Souls is a 1962 American independent horror film. A fun, creepy, interesting film. Its tempting to call it B-grade, particularly the awful colourised version, but its just old. A strange and enjoyable enough film. 2.5 stars.

Yokai Monsters
Yokai Monsters is a trilogy of Japanese horror/fantasy films written by Tetsuro Yoshida and released in the late 1960s.
Yokai Monsters: 100 Monsters (March 1968)
Yokai Monsters: Spook Warfare (December 1968)
Yokai Monsters: Along with Ghosts (March 1969)
All three of these films are just bizarre, and fantastic, with crazy puppets, special effects and just generally being strange. Focusing on the antics of mythological yokai monsters. Its all about the insane monsters. The films fluctuate slightly but its 3 stars over all.

Dead of Night (1974)
Deathdream (also known as Dead of Night) is a 1974 horror film. Snore-fest. Its an interesting idea and there are moments during the film that are interesting, its just so sparse and slow and overall uneventful and anti-climactic. The video covers are pretty excellent, though. One star.
