Monster of the Day #1730

OK, a storm or construction or something knocked out my Internet and landline phone last week, but I’m back up and running.

Last we met, we were looking at monsters from the spring Tween-Fest in Dallas a few weeks ago. After the horrors of Mac and Me, we found due to short movies that we had extra time, so we through on a Krimi, a genre of German films based on the works of Edgar Wallace. Several of us (Sandy, I and Chad R at the least) LOVE these movies.

Sandy picked Gorilla of Soho, which is different in that it’s a later, color Krimi, with nudity. Otherwise, it’s deadpan camp at it’s best. The killer isn’t really a monster, but he sort of it, too, in the long run.

Back to work now. Ugh.

    Sorry to go off-topic so soon, but RIP Margot Kidder.

    Naked apes.

    Clearly a guy in an ape suit…although that can lead to fun.

    I recently got to see a pair of color Wallace films, THE HUNCHBACK OF SOHO and THE COLLEGE GIRL MURDERS. Neat stuff, to be sure. Wallace type stories with the trappings of the Bond era. I got a big kick out of them.

    A monster in an ape suit!

    Ah, but in Gorilla of Soho he’s SUPPOSED to be a dude in a gorilla suit. Before he’s even seen, they explain it.
