Monster of the Day #3052

Hello! I hope everyone had a good weekend. The Cult Movie Classics channel on YouTube is getting back into  horror/sci-fi mode, although many of the recent additions are borderline monster films. This includes today's subject, caveman epic Eegah. As everyone who has seen the film knows, the real horror arises the moment star Arch…

  Yay, Friday! As a change of pace, no monster today. If you have Amazon Prime, though, you might want to give the documentary That Guy Dick Miller a look. On YouTube, Red Letter Media's Mike and Jay recently did a 40 minute Re:View on one of my all time personal kid's films, Willy…

The Cult Cinema Classics channel has added In the Year 2889. It's instructive (if a slog) to watch the difference between a B movie and a Z movie, and nothing illustrates this like watching one of Larry Buchanan's remakes of one of Roger Corman's cheapies from the 1950s. I always summed up Corman by…

Croaked Frog Monster from Hell is apparently just Bill Rebane's gillman movie Rana Legend of Shadow Lake, as retitled by Troma. It's a Bill Rebane movie, so don't expect the campy tone suggested by the new title and the Troma logo at the beginning of the movie. But hey, it's free on YouTube.

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…
