The Sheriff’s Going To Kill Us, or Something: A Review of Satan’s Cheerleaders

David Christenson

Satan’s Cheerleaders—great title, huh? And check out the cast: John Ireland, who improved many 1950s westerns with his angry intensity; Yvonne DeCarlo, exotic actress of the ’50s turned Munster; John Carradine—they couldn’t make a low-budget horror movie after 1965 without John Carradine. Add support by Sydney Chaplin, son of Charlie and a competent comic actor in his own right, and Jack Kruschen, one of those comfortingly familiar middle-aged character players, and you’ve got a winner, right?

The second of these films, The Pit and the Pendulum (1961), is easily an equal of the classic The House Of Usher, and MGM recently released a very nice DVD package of the movie under its “Midnite Movies“ line.
