Monster of the Day #3238

Just as a reminder, because who knows it will last, but Amazon Prime currently has all the Gamera movies available for viewing. I LOVE the spinning flying Gamera thing, by the way. It's my favorite thing in the series. Happy Friday, everyone. Watch something stupid. In fact, watch something stupid with us tonight in…

Amazon Prime still has the glorious, highly '80s misfire Lifeforce. How long will it be there? Who knows. Well worth a look, though.

Monster of the Day #3236

1932's The Monster Walks is presumably a generic Old Dark House movie. If i had to guess from the still, I'd say it's basically Cat and the Canary with maybe some Shh! the Octopus thrown in. I also have a soft spot for movies where the 'monster' is a guy in a gorilla suit.…

Monster of the Day #3235

We haven't checked in with Amazon Prime for a while. Vincent Price, except for Dr. Phibes, didn't really do monster movies much. He and Corman's Poe films didn't have any--although Corman convinced AIP that "the house is the monster" when he pitched House of Usher to them. The one *cough* Poe film that has…

So my old friend Jeff was in town last Friday and we watched the terrific Jack Hill flick Switchblade Sisters, and then Grabbers, which is basically Ireland's Tremors. Both are well worth a look. Happy (?) Monday, everyone. Watch Party on Friday.

Warning: Woman in Red Dress might not actually be in this movie. Also, I know she looks pretty nonchalant. However, you know, she's used to dating Italian guys, so..... Have a great weekend, everyone. Watch something stupid. Watch Party next Friday.

Movie posters are basically artifacts of the past, but really, it's lobby cards that brings it all back. Ah, the salad days (such as they were) of my youth.

Toho's old trilogy of Yokai films have seldom been available for viewing here in the states. Arrow has recently put out a nice Blu Ray set, but it's a pricey $100. (Although it will be available for $50 when Arrow does its fall half off sale). You can also rent them for streaming on…
