A movie guaranteed to contain absolutely NO accurate information.
BEFORE MST3K THERE WAS … THE TEXAS 27 FILM VAULT!
Welcome to a special Frontierado Edition of Balladeer’s Blog’s look at this neglected cult show from the 1980’s.

Deucalia is a twin of the planet Earth and is, oddly enough, connected to our own planet at the Continue reading

Alien Lover
ALIEN LOVER (1975) – Category: Enjoyably campy bad movie elevated by kitsch-value in the casting. Pernell Roberts and a really young Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) in her pre-Ryan’s Hope and Mrs Columbo days add the additional comic value to this made-for-tv horror/sci fi hybrid. It was an hour and a half with commercials so with them edited out it’s just 60-some minutes long.
Kate plays a teenaged recovering loony who starts communicating with a teen from another dimension via a broken tv set in the attic of her home. The tv set can absorb
