We look at one of the most bonkers alien invasion films ever made, the infamous 1967 MARS NEEDS WOMEN, which gets a special boost from Batgirl herself, the recently departed Yvonne Craig.

In 1967, right between his second and third outing as Hammer's Dracula, Chris Lee portrayed the Van Helsing-like (and Van Dyke-wearing) occult hero Duke Nicholas in a film scripted by Richard Matheson. A real surprise that shows an alternate path that Lee's career could have taken.
