In the middle 1980s/ Way down on Level 31 –
Balladeer’s Blog continues its examination of the FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY year of this neglected cult show that debuted February 9th of 1985.
EPISODE ORIGINALLY BROADCAST: Per fan MilesTellerRox, Saturday September 13th, 1986 from 10:30pm to 1:00am.
Broadcast throughout Texas and Oklahoma.
SERIAL: Again, per MilesTellerRox, before presenting and mocking The Party Crashers our machine-gun wielding Film Vault Technicians First Class Randy and Richard presented and mocked an episode of Mysterious Doctor Satan, a Republic serial from 1940.
The serial featured a mad scientist called Dr Satan trying to take over the world with a VERY goofy- looking robot while a pulp-style hero called Copperhead tried to thwart his plans.
FILM VAULT LORE: This episode featured Randy (right) and Richard’s (left) interview with Denver Pyle, who appears in the film being presented, The Party Crashers. They taped the interview with him at Ben Johnson’s ranch.
THE PARTY CRASHERS (1958) – Connie Stevens, Bobby Driscoll, Mark Damon, Frances Farmer and the aforementioned Denver Pyle star in this unintentionally hilarious movie about a group of Juvenile Delinquents whose M.O. is to crash parties at upper-class homes, help themselves to food, drink and women and then vandalize the place.
Connie is torn between her bland boyfriend and the sleazy leader of the Party Crashers. All the teenagers are spoiled and unlikeable and all the adults are alcoholics or bloated rich pigs. This movie is one long festival of unintended laughs.
On a sadder note, Frances Farmer and Bobby Driscoll both made their final film appearances in this campy flick.
IN THE NEAR FUTURE BALLADEER’S BLOG WILL PRESENT MORE TEXAS 27 FILM VAULT MILESTONES. Be here to share the Film Vault Corp’s mission of “safeguarding America’s schlock-culture heritage”.

Dear Balladeer
Your posts overwhelm me with an acute sense of appreciation! 👍❤️🙏🌶😍😊
Thanks for the kind words!
I love the premise of this show! Gatecrashing posh parties sounds like fun! 😊
Ha! There you go!
Great posts as always. Based on your description of the movie, I don’t think I will ever see this one. It sounds pretty bad. That being said, on paper it did seem to hold a lot of potential. Teenagers have often made for engaging movies. I have seen plenty of movies capturing the lives of teenagers that party which have been all-time classics. For instance, the story of “The Party Crashers” brought to mind the classic coming-of-age film “10 Things I Hate About You”. The teenagers in this movie are also spoiled, unlikeable and reckless in partying. It’s a much better movie though that is definitely worth seeing. Heath Ledger at his best.
Here’s why I recommend it strongly:
Thanks! I know what you mean!
