Bass also directed and produced Mad Monster Party, a 1967 feature starring Boris Karloff and Phyllis Diller.

“Mad Monster Party?” on IMDB. Oddly, it seems to be available on blu-ray (affiliate link).

    I noticed late last night that Ash Carter had passed away. No matter the party affiliation, I always try to wish any person who has served our nation in a capacity like this, my thanks. It is important to continue to have people of quality willing to serve in these often thankless positions. They open themselves up for attacks, doing work that can have enormous implications for our national interests and even security, often with little thanks, even with great vitriol.
    History will prove them to have served well or poorly, but they at least served. Hopefully they served with honor.
