Continuing my weeklong salute to the recently-held Ohio 24 Hour Science Fiction Marathon... one of the highlights of every Marathon, no matter what genre, is the vast array of classic and contemporary trailers that accompany the films. Every year, the Marathon showcases some of the most anticipated upcoming movies, but the real crowd pleasers are invariably the old-school spots for long-forgotten B movies. One Marathon perennial is the trailer for Ted V. Mikels' 1968 movie The Astro-Zombies. The trailer sells lead actors John Carradine and Wendell Corey, but for anyone who knows better, the movie's true star is former Russ Meyer leading lady Tura Satana, in her first post Faster, Pussycast starring role. Like another Marathon trailer favorite, Werewolves on Wheels, the Astro-Zombies trailer is so much fun that I'd prefer not to watch the film itself for fear that it couldn't live up to its trailer.
