Monster of the Day #3138

With a new year on the horizon, I thought I'd end 2020 on a whimsical note. The Andromeda Strain is a silly movie about, get this, some sort of virus that we're to believe would threaten the world somehow. I'd seen some goofy premises in movies before, but that might take the cake. Anyway,…

Dude, I wish that worked, but no, you need to shovel the stuff. Look, I live in Chicagoland. So yes, eventually we're going to get snow. But if we didn't get any for Christmas (gray Christmases suck), I don't know why we need any for New Year's. Of course, I'll be inside all weekend…

Pretty. I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. And hey, there's another one coming right up. Having the holidays on a Friday is always a plus. Did anyone get anything good? The adults in my family don't exchange much any more (although my sister got me a nice pair of slippers and a…

As a kid I sadly didn't own this game, although I knew someone who did and played it a lot. It was Monopoly (way back before Monopoly started doing variant games) with monster movies. As you can see, it was awesome. I'm pretty sure the game was unlicensed, probably both as a game and…

Still doing your last minute Christmas (sorry Doctor Who, Festive) shopping? Why, nothing says kiddie fun like a game based on a national trauma-inducing horror film, complete with human skull. I mean, the culture is far more saturated with dark humor these days--hence the Jaws video game where you actually play the shark and…

My main problem with Piranha (the original, obviously) is that the idea of using genetically altered super-piranha as bio-weapons by dumping them into rivers in enemy territory is utterly ridiculous. And I mean, ridiculous by B-movie standards. How would you keep them from traveling into friendly or neutral territory? How would you get rid…

Cullen mentioned these yesterday. Sadly, Mr. Nima doesn't have a ton of work. Quick, a Patreon for a horror movie poster book! I'd pledge. Friday the 13th, a series about this poor guy Jason who has a big shrimp on his head and keeps getting violently attacked by people. Nothing says Jason like a…

I found...this. I have no idea what to make of it. What's with the guy killed with the pickaxe? Is Freddy a murderous librarian now? It this a movie poster? Just a painting? Weird.

  I put up a wonderful classic Dracula poster yesterday, how about a wonderful Bride of Frankenstein poster? Man, that's nice. I'm not good with languages. Is that the French poster?
