Monster of the Day #1443

Sorry, Internet issues yesterday. I’ve seen nearly none of these movies. Pre-1980, and certain pre-1970, I have a fairly comprehensive knowledge of at least American and British horror movies, and fancy that I’ve seen a sizable majority of them. When the made-for-video age began, however, it augured a veritable flood of product and I just couldn’t keep up. Eventually I became uninterested in even the theatrical stuff, and thus the post mid-80s are largely unknown and certainly unseen by me.

    What on earth is it supposed to be? Werewolf? A cat? A werecat???

    It’s pretty cool looking whatever it is. Pretty scarey too, after killing you it’d probably go around rubbing on all your furniture shedding everywhere.

    Looks like a Halloween werewolf costume.

    it is an odd one. I would guess that the taxidermist started with a skunk or other weasel-like animal and used a monkey as the base form.

    Dunno, the long hair and brown face had me thinking of a chocolate Persian cat.

    The werewolf segment of WAXWORK? Wasn’t there a werewolf segment in WAXWORK? Am I thinking of another quasi-anthology film?

  • The Rev.

    There was, and in fact that was the first mini-segment of Waxwork. However, this isn’t it. Waxwork‘s was set in a log cabin, and also I recall the werewolf looking better than this. That said, I’m not sure what this is.

    OT but I just saw a film that reminded me of some of Mister Begg’s comments about modern movies tending to be bloated, the 132-minute long horror-western “Bone Tomahawk”. Seriously, you could cut at least a third of the running length on that movie and it’d be vastly improved. What is up with movies tending to be so long right now?

    I thought this critter was small like a gremlin. That is why I mentioned a creative taxidermy skunk above.

  • Rock Baker

    Funny, that looked like a cabin wall when I glanced at it. Only now do I see the bricks!

    I can’t think of the title, but I do believe I actually have seen this. Seems like maybe this comes from a horror/cop movie? This might’ve been from early in the flick, and there was a squad car nearby. Beyond that, though, I recall nothing!
