Monster of the Day #3709

Yes, everyone, I'm alive. My Internet cable got whacked on Monday and AT&T came out yesterday and got me up and running again. It's good to be back.Turns out Amazon Prime is offering some real nostalgia bait, the 1976 Saturday morning live action* kiddie show The Monster Squad. Better than the Shane Black movie!…

Monster of the Day #3708

Screen legend George Barrows along with some faceless extra. Last Friday's Watch Party subject was 1954's Gorilla at Large, a pleasing piece of hokum filmed in vibrant color and 3-D.

Not (?) Monster of the Day #24

It was getting late, and most people headed out, marking the near end of T(ween) Fest 2025 weekend. However, Sandy was up for one more movie, so I popped in my recently procured Blu Ray for 1930's The Bat Whispers. Sandy later admitted he was a bit unenthusiastic about the choice. These old dark…

Not Monster of the Day #23

Time for a classic. I provided The Enemy Below, a nifty WWII naval film about a cat and mouse battle between an American destroyer and a German U-Boat.
