So the Cult Cinema Classics channel on YouTube just posted our old friend They Saved Hitler's Brain, which like Curse of Bigfoot was an old, short silly movie that filmmakers later added half an hour of related footage to so as to make it movie length for TV sales. Still, the image of Hitler's…

Got a movie you want to push for a bit more home viewing before, hopefully, the lock downs start expiring? FoJ BChasm has a suggestion: "What must be the most adorable killer robot ever, from1995's "Screamers," a criminally underrated film. In the film, Peter Weller describes it as a "reptile" but anyone watching this…

Later today the Cult Cinema Classics channel on YouTube is posting the seminal Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, probably the first full length horror film. By dint of being first, it probably establishes at least 40% of all horror movie cliches, with the first supernatural horror movie, Nosferatu accounting for another 40% of better. Really,…

While Forrest Tucker was in England to make The Crawling Eye, he also starred in Cosmic Monsters, aka The Strange World of Planet X. It's a typically all over the map '50s sci-fi film. Being British, it's also a bit nastier than you'd expect a film from that era to be. Available on a…

Our old pals at Cult Cinema Classics on YouTube continue to post movies every day, although they seem to be running lower on horror films. Not out of them, but the volume has dipped. They did post the sleazy mini-classic The Brain that Wouldn't Die the other day, though. While we're all monster guys,…

Presumably to have a show/character that he completely owned the rights to (Kolchak was adapted from an unpublished book, and much improved in the process), TV director/producer Dan Curtis following the jaw-dropping success of The Night Stalker with a clone pilot called The Norliss Tapes. It's also pretty great, although star Roy Thinnes was…

Kiss of the Vampire is surely one of the lesser seen Hammer horror movies. I think I caught one rare TV broadcast of it back when I was a kid. However (for the moment anyway), there's a surprisingly decent print of it available for viewing free on YouTube. Happy (ugh) Monday, everyone. Be safe.

Yesterday's featured MotD, Fiend Without a Face, is not the only atmospheric British film that ends with the reveal of an awesome, tentacled brain monster. I've always loved the hinted-at backstory that suggests Forrest Tucker has troubleshooted alien invasions in the past. And of course it was featured on MST3K. The Crawling Eye, aka…

OK, maybe it's time to go afield from the Cult Cinema Channel on YouTube. There are a lot of other movies available, although a lot of them are on random channels. One of the many many films out there (at least for the moment) is fan favorite Fiend Without a Face, a favorite of…

Frankenstein's Daughter is...kind of a mess. It's no I Was a Teenage Frankenstein, that's for sure. Still, you can watch it for free on the Cult Cinema Classics channel on YouTube.
