Not (?) Monster of the Day #17

VANNA WHITE AT HER MOST EXPRESSIVE IN THE GODDESS OF LOVE Friday was our Discord Watch Party. NBC briefly tried to make Vanna White a thing by building a 1988 TV movie around her. To give her the best possible chance at success, it was basically a remake of the previous year's Mannequin. Aphrodite…

Monster of the Day #3699

We followed Zontar with the less well know (oddly), The Black Zoo. It's about (duh) a murderous zookeeper, and it's one of Herman Cohen's English films. So if guessed that the murderous zookeeper was played to icy perfection by Michael Gough, and that his character has a troubled teen character he keeps under his…

Watch Party tomorrow!

Man, I've got to track these. I completely forgot. Basically now that it's on Discord we don't have a dedicated URL to send out. Just check in to Discord and go to my page. Otherwise we haven't had many technical issues, as long as we stick with YouTube anyway. I hope to see you…

Monster of the Day #3698

Sunday is always a good / bad day. The good part; more movies! (And, this time, breakfast at Waffle House!) The bad part, people start leaving right quick. We opened the day with another "classic," Zontar Thing from Venus. Beulah has nothing to worry about, that's for sure.

Monster of the Day #3697

We ended with our usual Tween-Fest Texas movie. This year's entry was 1983's Play Dead, which was shot in Corpus Christie. This has been hanging around my Blu Ray shelves for a while now, courtesy of one of Vinegar Syndrome's sales. Yvonne DeCarlo (!) plays a woman who's a witch or Satanist of something,…

Not Monster of the Day #16

We've had a "classics" slot for several years now, and as long as we have I've been meaning to show The Third Man. Ironically, I don't really want to talk about it because maybe one or two of you haven't seen it. If you haven't...do so. It's a legitimately great film. It's often heralded…

Monster of the Day #3696

So after returning from dinner (barbecue, yum...the brisket!), we started the evening slate of movies. Sandy, again with his collection packed up in Utah, made only two requests this time around: Curse of the Faceless Man, watched that morning, and the Czech 1983 stop animated film The Pied Piper. Luckily, this was available for…

Elvis (and Mary Tyler Moore) with the little autistic girl that Dr. Elvis cures by hugging her. We closed out the day shift of movies with another old favorite, Change of Habit. It was, in fact, the first film I reviewed for the site, back in its KWAM days. I had posted a Giant…

Not Monster of the Day #14

(Oops, consider this Wednesday morning's post) With Sandy's movie collection still packed up in Utah, I got to pick most of the movies this year. The one I went back and forth on the most was 1966 What's Up Tiger Lily? Basically, then hot stand up comic Woody Allen and friends was hired to…

Monster of the Day #3695

When Mondo Macabre releases a new film, I pay attention. When it's a crazy Indonesian action flick, I crack open the wallet. (Although, really, it's not that hard to get me to open that.) I had watched the first five minutes of 1981's The Warrior and, upon seeing a bad dummy made of rubber,…
