Happy Halloween, everyone!

So we were down to the last two movies. We've taken to showing a classic film at each fest. We'd already showed Alice in Wonderland, but that was more a curiosity.  So I showed one of my favorite films (and my second favorite William Powell film) The Thin Man. To my relief, everyone really…

So, after Horror of the Monster Blood or whatever, it was time for shorts (Sandy likes music videos). We also watched a Chargeman Ken episode, these crazy five-minute old animes. They are all on Crunchyroll, but a bunch are on YouTube too. They are a hoot, check 'em out. They are good to throw…

Sandy wanted to watch something from his complete set of Al Adamson movies (seriously, that's a thing, and might well be the most comprehensive blu ray set dedicated to any single director). To limit the damage I suggested Blood of the Horror Mons...wait...Monsters of the Blood Horr...no...Horror of the Blood Monsters? Yes, I think…

Second up was Hapkido, an Angelo Mao martial arts dealie where her two costars were a young Sammo Hung and Carter Wong. How's that for an all-star cast? It was pretty great.

Halloween on the horizon! What are your plans? I'm seeing the musical Little Shop of Horrors on the big screen this week, and on Halloween night (although only because that's the subtitled showing on the biggest screen) I'll be seeing Spirited Away. 'Also my old library crew will be resuming our annual Halloween party,…

Did I show this one before? I mean, Doc Savage and a "feathered" Octopus? Maybe, but heck, it's Doc Savage and an octopus. I have to say, James Bama's version of Doc is so iconic now that that old pulp version never looks right to me. Watch Party tomorrow night, chums. Happy Friday Eve.

Space Octopus! Nice. Happy Wednesday, everyone. Watch Party on Friday.
