Space is the place for the next Cinema a Go-Go, featuring a pair of '50s sci-fi classics - one a comedy, the other an unintentional comedy.
See the Three Stooges in the memorable Have Rocket, Will Travel (1959) in which the boys are accidentally blasted into space aboard a U.S. rocket and wind up on Venus battling giant spiders and killer robots. Venus is also the destination for Queen of Outer Space (1958) which, rumor has it, was supposed to be a spoof. Apparently, the cast and crew never got the memo. In this one, Venus is populated by a race of Amazon beauties and an evil queen intent on vaporizing the Earth with her cosmic death ray thingie.
