Monster of the Day #3050

The Return of Tabonga! This one is on Amazon Prime, although it might be on YouTube as well. Originally called The Loves of Hercules (on Amazon it's Hercules vs the Hydra), it imported American *cough* stars Mickey Hargitay and his wife Jayne Mansfield, who comically makes all the normal buxom Italian actresses in the…

There aren't a lot of color stills caps from the fairly obscure 1970 flick Bigfoot. This black and white one is pretty good, though, with the lack of color probably making the suit look even worse, and with Joi Lansing and John Carradine featured prominently. The 'all-star' cast also includes Chris Mitchum, Doodles Weaver…

Hmm, that creature reminds me of something.... If you're looking for a really crappy, obscure piece o' garbage this weekend, and who isn't, try 1985's Attache of the Beast Creatures. Available for watch on YouTube.

I don't know peplums enough to give them the love they deserve here. They just didn't play on TV very much back in the day. Still, they are oft goofy delights, as explicated by various examples appearing on MST3K. It would be nice it get some remastered widescreen Blu Ray sets to show them…

Cult Cinema Classics has put up a fairly decent print of Attack of the Giant Leeches. The one caveat is that it has French subtitles burned on it. Well, you can't have everything. This is, after all, a film that generally looks pretty murky even when you can see it. It's almost like they…

Sandy Petersen, when he's bored beyond endurance (better than Holmes' cocaine, I suppose), will occasionally call me and we'll telewatch a dumb movie on Youtube or Amazon Prime. Last week we watched (not too diligently, as we were yakking the whole time) the obscure Space Probe Taurus, a film I only vaguely remembered having…

Historians have marked this as the first appearance of a Scottish Kaiju, as evidenced by his kilt and the fact that he's living in a cave, indicating he's cheap. (What? My ethnic joke book from 1972 says this is hilarious.) Have a great weekend, everyone.

Thursday! The weekend beckons. To me this looks like a dry run for the cocoon Adam Warlock (or 'Him,' originally) eventually came out of in Fantastic Four.

Hump day! I'm actually going to go visit my sister and niece this weekend, the first time I have done so since the COVID thing started. So that will be nice. We might even go out to eat, although only outside dining here in Illinois, and even that just started this week. Black Magic…
