Year: 2020

If you have a whole afternoon to blow this weekend, you could certainly do worse than to watch the Daimajin trilogy. All three films are (currently) available on YourTube with sweet widescreen subtitled versions. The films are pretty fun. Have a great, safe weekend everyone!

It's sad to think how few people are left who would go, "Ohhh, George Zucco and Glenn Strange?!" Anyway, the Cult Cinema Classics channel on YouTube had added 1942's The Mad Monster. I love the scene in this where Mad Scientist Zucco has an imaginary argument with The Science Council (you know, the guys…

Speaking of old school obscurities on Amazon Prime, they have The Ghoul. This never played on TV in Chicagoland when I was a kid, despite starring Boris Karloff. (Remember when Karloff and Lugosi were all over the airwaves? Remember airwaves?) That's probably because it was a British independent film and not made available in…

Amazon Prime week. The last couple of days we've looked at some AIP flicks there, but they also have some of the more little-seen '70s Hammer movies; Captain Kronos, Vampire Circus, and today's feature, Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell. That's the last of the Cushing Frankensteins, I think, and I've always heard pretty…

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.
