Speaking of AIP on Amazon Prime, my friend Jeff called last night and mentioned that Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow is playing there now. That's one of the more obscure AIPs, so check it out. Here's Blaisdell himself wearing his She-Creature costume, minus the big foam boobs.

I didn't have time to troll through YouTube to look for a movie this morning, so let's pop over to Amazon Prime. Bert I Gordon on Prime, that's the stuff. I don't know how the rights for Amazing Colossal Man are still tied up but War of the Colossal Beast is available Prime and…

More of this, please. The Cult Cinema Classics channel on YouTube has posted the entire serial the Phantom Creeps, which stars Bela Lugosi as a crazy mad scientist. That's his killer robot, so you know you're in for a treat. Amazon also just posted the serial The Vanishing Shadow, and if you're already paying…

Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet (as featured on these very pages) premieres on the Cult Cinema Channel tonight, on YouTube. I don't know that there's a good copy of this film left, but it's probably watchable. It's one of a couple of films that Roger Corman had Frankensteined from the really spectacular special effects…

Nothing makes me lament where Hollywood in general right now than the fact that we can't go see double bills of movies like Killer Shrews and Giant Gila Monster in theaters/drive-ins anyway. Anyway, GGM is a perfect little piffle and it's now up on the Cult Cinema Classics on YouTube.

Ugh, sure didn't feel like a long weekend (I appreciated the day off, nonetheless). Back to work now, and yes, I do realize that given current day events that is NOT something to complain about. The Cult Movies Channel on YouTube feels to be adding more TV movies now, which I am in favor…

I have to troll a bit deeper to find monster movies on YouTube these days, I didn't get to it yesterday. So let's pop over to Amazon Prime. They recently added Dogora the Space Monster, certainly one of the more obscure Toho dai kaiju films. As a kid it was pretty disappointing for its…

It took the combined efforts of Irwin Yablans and Charles Band, and featuring Demi Moore in her first major role, Parasite (aka The Other Parasite) features little beasties threatening survivors in the post-apocalypse. So, yeah, it's kind of '80s. Oh, and it was made in 3-D, because of course it was. I've never actually…
