This Week on Amazon Prime 7/11/24

Happy Friday, everyone! I thought I’d “reward” Amazon for keeping the schlock and B-movie content of Prime so well stocked. I think they're very smart to be plumbing this niche, which is not well served by any of the other pay streaming services. That sort of thing should be encouraged, so I might do…

Mmm, could use more skellingtons. Certainly calls to mind the awesome ending of Ator the Fighting Eagle. Here's the original art. Neat!

Man, that's the stuff right there. Give AI a few more years and somebody's going to animate these stories and make themselves a billion dollars. Is the belt to suggest how the Skellington carries his knife? That's some attention to detail right there.

They put Swastikas on the leopards, just so we get it. Happy (?) Monday, everyone. Just as a head's up, I'll be leaving for Richmond / Pittsburg for a week starting a week from Wednesday. So there won't be any posting during that period. However, Watch Party this Friday. We'll watch an actual genre…

Do they understand why it's a holiday? I wonder. Written by Larry Cohen and directed by William "Maniac Cop" Lustig. That's a pretty solid pedigree.

First, I found Waldo. Second, never bring a knife to a crocodile fight. Third...that chick is into it, man. She's clearly one of those women who likes guys fighting over her. In case I don't show up tomorrow, Happy 4th of July, everyone!

Monster of the Day #3540

Well, that hadn't been on my list of sexual fears, but now that it's been raised, I guess? That particular one I may leave unmastered, though. Seems more trouble than it's worth.

Criterion Sales at Barns & Noble…

I'm staying off because I just dropped $400 at the recent Vinegar Syndrome sale, and have a thousand dollar home bill, and another thousand dollar car bill, and am going to visit a con in a couple of weeks, and...I'm not broke, but it's time to cut back for a while. Anyway, B&N every…

Monster of the Day #3539

As we can see from this, AIP's posters were getting a lot more sophisticated. Several films that year that had monsters of sorts--The Terror, The Haunted Palace--forwent them on the poster art to push more the Vincent Price or Boris Karloff angles. This one also is a bit of a cheat for us, but…
