Dead or Alive? Arch Hall, Jr.


Arch Hall, Jr. lit up the screen in the 1960's, starring in films produced by his father, including Wild Guitar!, The Sadist and the film made popular by Mystery Science Theater 3000- the immortal Eegah!

While many people focus on his campy films, Mr. Hall was actually an accomplished guitar player and his music is very good 1960's surf rock. His music finally got the release it deserved in 2005 and the album is still available on CD. (You can even get an autographed copy at http://www.archhalljr.com.)

Oops, probably should have put a spoiler alert on that last sentence; because as of today, Arch Hall, Jr. is still alive and rocking! (Watch out for snakes!)
