"Oh
Frank, I don’t think I should get pregnant right away."
Marion (Dwan Marlow)
Written & Directed by Pete Perry, a.k.a. Ecstasy on
Lovers Island — not to be confused with Irwin Meyer's Honeymoon of Horror (1964 / trailer), which doesn't look so bad itself. Honeymoon of Terror was made in the days when couples split the pajamas: the man got the pants, the woman the shirt.
Plot description from TCM: "Marion (Dwan Marlow) and Frank (Doug
Leith) are disappointed with Las Vegas and its nightclubs on the first night of
their honeymoon and decide to spend the rest of their vacation on Thunder
Island. Upon arriving on the island the following day, Frank has to return to
the mainland to pick up fuel for the portable stove. Marion remains behind to
enjoy the swimming and sunbathing. Although a stranger attacks her, she is able
to escape the would-be rapist, who has a club foot. In town, Frank hears tales
of a logger known as the 'Ridge Runner' (Anton von Stralen), who went mad,
raped two women, killed a third, and has not been seen for 8 years. Frank hears
some hunters tell of finding tracks on Thunder Island that might belong to the
lumberjack, and he rushes back to the island, arriving to find Marion in the
fiend's grasp..."
Bleeding Skull
says: "Baffled by the snapshot appeal of quaint monster-nudies? Don't
start here. However, if selected early 1960s works from Barry Mahon, Dale
Berry, and yes, Peter Perry, already light up your nights, Honeymoon of Terror
won't disappoint. It's more horror, much less nudie, and all ignorant fun."
