Shockwaves
Hello,
Shockwaves is a cult classic from 1977. I remember watching it as a kid. As a matter of fact when my friend Steve and I get together I refer to my SS stuff as items belonging to the Totenkorp (from the movie). Here is an interesting tidbit about the movie, the entire film was shot in 16mm, I guess that is why the quality is not the greatest.
I don't know if they remade the film. It is a heck of a lot better then that piece of junk on the Sci-Fi Channel a year or so ago SS Doomtroopers.
The entire Shockwaves movie is on Youtube (on the same link posted) and is broken up into 10 parts (I watched it again last night).
I am just curious about the wool and leather the Germans used that could last in salt water that length of time (32 years).
I hope someone will download The Legend of Boggy Creek. I liked that film a lot as a kid.
Regards,

Boy, I thought I was one of the only ones who was aware of this film! I saw it at a drive-in probably about 2 years after it came out--a creepy, atmospheric thriller for the era (I want to say I saw it in a double-feature with THE horror classic of the 70's, Phantasm).
There were other movies in the Nazi-horror genre in the 70's--does anyone recall Deathship with George Kennedy? Check it out on IMDB. com. The other Nazi/horror movie that really freaked me out as a kid was the Frozen Dead, which I saw on one of those Sat morning "creature feature" shows.
If I recall right, the uniforms sucked in all of them--but I believe one form 1982 called the Keep wasn't too bad (but I haven't seen it since then).
Does anyone recall the old Night Gallery TV episode in which the SS occupies a Rumanian town (guess where), and the residents turn out to be vampires?!
Now that I think of it, one could write a book on Nazi-Horror Cinema.
(BTW, if you couldn't tell, I am also a "psychotronic" film fan--these are mainly exploitation low-budget B-movies from the 60's and 70's--if any of you get a chance, check out the Psychotronic Film books at your local bookstore--great stuff!)NEC SOLI CEDIT

I don't remember seeing that Night Gallery episode but it sounds interesting. I really liked the Twilight Zone episode "Death's Head Revisited" though.
Stonemint, you mentioned "creature feature", so I knew we had to be about the same age. I loved watching creature feature! Along with Ron Ely in Tarzan which seemed to run about the same time, although I think Tarzan may have been in reruns by then.
