Great! Those catacombs can be a real mess to navigate through!

As I recall, Crash Corrigan played the the Fire Beast of Mongo (Gocko)? He was also in UNDERSEA KINGDOM, with C. Montague Shaw...aka the Clay King, from FG TRIP TO MARS. UNDERSEA KINGDOM also has a very young Lon Chaney Jr. We all know that he went on to greater things on the other side of the Universal light bridge. Beatrice "Azura" Roberts also crossed the light bridge to appear as a non speaking peasant woman in FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLFMAN.

Finally, the greatest serial villain worked with the greatest Horror Director...in a film called SHOWBOAT!
Charles Middleton and James Whale met in the middle of the Light Bridge.

Do I pass my initiation?

Welcome joystar...glad you maneuvered the catacombs, various tunnels, past dragon lairs, monsters, and perhaps you saw "Crash Corrigan" in your travels as well.

Presume you crossed the "light bridge" ok since you're here. Be careful on light bridge ...Martian wings are best to wear (just-in-case) since bridge can be intermittent if power house generators overload. Also, the light bridge is narrow and lacks hand rails. (There's a sign there..."Use at own risk" but it's in fine print.)

Now that you're here, we have to devise some initiation ordeal, nothing harmful of course. Hmm...perhaps a Q&A thing of some sort. Maybe one which ties in some of the FG/BR characters with horror movie or other kinds of flicks.

Hmm...we've Commander Rick, Sergeant Tim, myself, and some others who pop in from time to time. Might you be interested in the initiation process joystar? Please RSVP. Oh, I forgot, good clean humor is highly encouraged. (Also, sometimes,honestly, there is no answer, or we're fishin' for an answer, or we goofed up somewhere. Shhh. I digress.)

Here's a few to serve as samples:
Crash Corrigan...was he in FG serial? As who? Any other film or serial (just one ok) Ha! try this...and I think you like this serial....was he associated with any contraption in Tim Tyler's Luck? (I have an iffy response on this.) Yes, I know this is a loaded question, but a start. We can try others, or our other members can post a few. What say ye joystar, are you interested in membership, and by the way, might you be interested in that Vultan Mongo tree ornament?

Sales Pitch...membership has it's privileges...we might restart the Mingo City Gazette next year, also the Mongo Classifieds, and Ming may try again to start his Lizard Lounge, a place for up and coming crooners primarily, and Korny Komix...but not like the previous envisioned Bada Ming place. All good clean fun and entertainment. More later on.

Well, joystar made it across our light bridge, and we're pleased to have her aboard. Hey Dan, you're next...c'mon over sometimes. Alan, others also. We're gonna eventually try to chase away those approaching mid winter blues. Fun stuff. Some laughs maybe. Could use your help. Sure I like horror "stuff" and scifi, but some good clean laughs are good especially these days for lots of reasons. We need Emperor Ming in on this, so its best we do it here. Easier to scroll down and do open book stuff with archives.

joystar...just to wrap up some ends, Ray "Crash" Corrigan was in 1936 serial "Undersea Kingdom." It has its own elements and some perhaps from serials: The Phantom Empire, Flash Gordon, possibly Tim Tyler's Luck, maybe a potpourri from others also. C.Montague Shaw, Jack Mulhall and Lon Chaney Jr. are also in it and its better than average to me anyway. Not FG, but decent. We see a fancy sub instead of rocket, and go below sea level to deal with Atlantians instead of outer space guys.

The "contraption" I refer to, a ground vehicle, appears similar to that used in jungle of Tim Tyler's Luck. Dunno, if it's same prop... maybe. Corrigan gets strapped to front while vehicle rams things.

He also appeared as the orangopoid in 1936s Flash Gordon using a heavy, clumsy costume were told which was hot to wear and heavy.

Hi Torch, Rick, Tim, and Joy. Good to be here.

After just looking across the "Light Bridge" a few times, I finally made it all the way across.

I haven't seen the Flash Gordon serials in years, but I got the DVD set of all three FG serials for Christmas.

The only one I've had was a TV copy of FG Conquers the Universe. And I haven't watched it since I taped it off AMC back in 1996. That's when AMC didn't run commercials and butcher the films.

Well anyway, so far I've watched the first 6 chapters of the first FG serial. I've been watching 3 chapters at a time once a week. And it's great being able to see FG again

Hi Dan,

Just had a look. Glad you got all three serials. Look forward to your insights.

Rick
