Month: February 2021

As midnight approached we reached what has become the Plan 9 slot at B-Fest (way back in the day it was Creeping Terror, but the film print--yes, that long ago--was pulled from circulation). Plan 9 has obviously been worked pretty thoroughly over the years, so I put in The Brainiac instead. There were no…

We followed Prophecy with one of my choices, Mask of Fu Manchu with Boris Karloff and Myrna Loy (!). Short, rapidly paced, kinky in that pre-code way and surprisingly opulent, it was very fun. Then Kirk brought things to a screeching (barking?) halt with Love on a Leash, a truly cheap oddity about a…

Well, back to reality. Everyone is safely home from our DIY Fest (in lieu of an official B-Fest). Getting everyone there was far harder than it should have been. The two Chads are in Texas, Houston and Dallas respectively, and in a crazy turn of events it was the winter weather there that caused…

Well, the title certainly sounds dirtier in French. Everyone keep safe with the severe weather hitting a lot of places, especially anyone down south where I know you don't have a lot of gear to deal with that sort of thing. I think I mentioned this, but my brain doesn't work, so again, we'll…

Happy Friday! Now I have to do two years of work organizing my insane piles of crap to barely make enough space to let people use the two bedrooms I don't use (except for heaped storage). Fun. Speaking of, with guests arriving for a get together next week, I'm not sure what my schedule…

Question of the Day: Is this poster scarier if those are ghost cats, or just regular cats?

OK, this poster is making this movie look a LOT more epic than it really is. It's a Charles Band film, after all. That said, I do rather like the Bloodstone films, or at least I did when I watched them back in the day.

  OK, so now we know what the Japanese version of Creature of the Black Lagoon would have looked like. By which I mean, awesome.
