Students at the University of Utah turned the film into a musical in the early 1980s (which later played at theaters in the Midwest). One of their songs details the other eight plans.
The film Madmen of Mandoras was lengthened with some pointless padding several years after its initial release, and re-released as They Saved Hitler’s Brain.
Strangely enough, the working title was Grave Robbers from Outer Space, which I think sounds much more exploitable.
The Devil and Daniel Webster
**Rat Pfink a Boo Boo
I Eat Your Flesh** and I Drink your Blood (as double bill)
**I Bury the Living
The Crawling Eye
The Flesh Eaters**
Here’s a trend:
**The Thirty Foot Bride of Candy Rock
Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman
Attack of the Fifty Foot Cheerleader** (in 3D!)**
Attack of the Sixty Foot Centerfold**
A common feature of these is that the oversized woman has a hard time finding clothing to fit.
This was a titillating thought or implication I the first two, but the later movies had explicit nudity.
notice how the height escalates through time. You always have to do better than your predecessors.
Attack of the Fifty Foot woman has the best poster, though. But the effects budget came nowhere near living up to it. The film was remade in 1993 for HBO with Daryl Hannah, with a bigger budget.
I love the idea that they sold the film not on the basis that the threat was taller, but deeper.
The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds
Cal, you forgot about Attack of the 5’2" Women.
If You Don’t Stop It . . . You’ll Go Blind was not that good a title, but the title of the sequel, Can I Do It . . 'Til I Need Glasses? was great. (The second film also had a better theme song.)
Blazing Zippers was a bad movie, even by porn standards, but it had an amusing title.
Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things
Sharknado
Hush! Hush, Sweet Charlotte
A Hard Day’s Night. No wonder Lennon & McCartney turned this Ringoism into a song and used it as a title for their first movie.

From the 70’s:
Kentucky Fried Movie
The Groove Tube
Both are or should be cult classics. I saw them with my Dad (Thanks Dad!) because I was too young to see a R rated movie by myself. I always wondered what the conversation with Mom was after they got home.
How about searing teleplays like SCTV’s “I’m Taking My Own Head And Screwin It On Right And No Guy’s Gonna Tell Me That It Ain’t”.
