Arch Hall Jr !



Arch Hall Jr. is a teen actor and musician who appeared in a number of 1960s films, all of which were produced by his father, Arch Hall Sr.
Most of Arch Hall Jr.'s films feature his musical abilities, particularly a teenage tenor and swamp blues inflected, guitar riffs. Hall was also the frontman for the rock n' roll combo Arch Hall Jr. and the Archers. The band played Sunset Strip clubs such as the Whisky a Go Go and Pandora's Box.
For the most part the films produced by the Halls and their associates, which at one point included cult director Ray Dennis Steckler, are considered B-movies (which means, religion to me).
My fav of course is The Sadist (1963), where Hall portrayed a psychopathic killer based in part on teenage murderer Charles Starkweather.
YEAH !

Arch Hall Jr:
* Archers Theme *
* Konga Joe *
* Watch Your Step *
Bonus !
* Wild Guitar Trailer ! *

My wife and I were just watching Eegah! the other night. Amazing hair on Arch Hall, Jr., but my wife noticed that once Roxie shaved the caveman, old Eegah was better looking than the supposed teen hearthrob.

You strike again Tom, always a fave around here Arch was the ultimate Indie artist. They tried it all, & they're all classic, & somewhat alive & well, "Sadist" & "Eegah" what a double feature!!!

THEE BLOODY END !!!

ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END. Yes my dear friends/readers, I've decided to end this very blog ! No particular reason to be frank, I've just decided to put this site to bed. So alas, another (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary, you choose) blog goes away. Well, you all know I'm a (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary/bad, you choose) musician and that it takes a LOT of my time, that maybe explains the sporadic nature of posting here, so here we go... its' a FAREWELL ! Well, don't be sad my friends, remember what the great Criswell said: ' We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.' ! So, I can't really express myself on HOW MUCH this lil' internet page was important to me, and how much it was fun to make/search/create ! You can't imagine how crazy it was to make those halloween/western/...
