How anyone could give this amiable parody of a old sci-fi movies less than a grade of 7 is beyond me. Even if it's not to your taste, it's clear that the movie makers knew exactly what they were doing, and they never cheat.I've seen all four of Larry Blamire movies (he directs, writes and produces them), and, while they're all sublime, I think this is my favorite. In addition to the wit and affection that's part and parcel of these movies, there's a cheerfulness and joy of living that I find is maybe the most appealing quality of all.So don't miss "Trail of the Screaming Forehead" on DVD today!

This movie succeeded in cracking me up throughout its duration. The characters are what it is all about. Great casting!! Why doesn't Jennifer Blaire have a career? She is so hot and funny. The whole concept of foreheads inching around like slinky toys and stalking people is crazy enough. The lab scientist who was responsible for turning her boyfriend into a "forehead sphinx", the skipper and his mate, who looks like a pathetic version of Kirk Douglas in "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea"; the crazy librarian, the weird "expert"...most of the laughs are attributed to how dumb these people acted...not an easy feat for an actor. If you see it listed on cable, watch it!

Had a great time at the world premier in Seattle. Screaming Forehead is EXTREMELY funny, with great writing and acting. The entire ensemble from Lost Skeleton is back and in fine form, joined by some great additions to the cast. In particular, Alison Martin is hilarious as the town's stream-of-consciousness librarian.The movie is very pleasant to look at with a wonderful 'day-glow' sixties feel, a great compliment to the grainy black and white feel of Lost Skeleton.As a big fan, it was a given that I would see the film, if only out of respect for Larry Blamire and the team. But I'm very pleased that the quality of the film is every bit as good as their previous work. Highly recommended.

This movie is a great spoof to the old sci-fi 50s movies. James Karen and Brian Howe play two great characters. From the opening song to the end 'bell routine', it had me laughing the whole way through. It is full off wit, play on words, and great color saturation. The cheesy special effects make it even more funny, especially with the makeshift spacecraft in the opening scene. The idea of hiding the foreheads is hilarious since it is painfully obvious who has been attacked and who hasn't. The best characters are the sailors who have great chemistry on the screen. If you like Larry Blamire and old sci-fi flicks then you'll love this movie. It's a must see for the whole family.
