Music From the Monster Movies 1950-1969

In the 50’s & 60’s a recurring theme in a lot of monster movies was music…A lot of movies also had quirky, swingin’, jazzy or rockin’ themes or credits. Our goal here is to attempt to give you a chance to hear a whole bunch of great music in hopes that you’ll be inspired to go out and rent or buy the movies to keep them alive…All this stuff is 35+ years old, & a lot of it you’ve probably seen or heard before. Many of these movies have been written about extensively on the internet, we just thought it would be fun to get it all in one place where we concentrate on the music alone…

The last time man was on the moon was December 11, 1972.  From a personal point of view, I find it interesting man hasn’t been to the moon in my lifetime.
