Monster of the Day #1991

Man, pretty much everything was sequels back in 1991.

This, however, was RIGHT in my wheelhouse. They eventually made a sequel to this, too…the first sequel movie HBO had ever made…and completely screwed it up by recasting Ward with Dennis Hopper. (????) Also it was a whole McCarthy thing which BORING. And moving the classic PI character to the ’50s makes no sense anyway. Still, this is pretty great. I think it’s on Amazon Prime, too.

    Never seen this but have heard it’s good.

  • Mike Weller

    I like Fred…but what flick is this? Did not see it.

    I have never even HEARD of this, much less seen it. Added to the to-do list!

    This was worth showcasing just to get it out there. It’s called Cast a Deadly Spell, and it’s great. Check it out on Amazon Prime.

    Watched it last night, thanks Ken! Pretty friggin’ good movie, frankly one of the best mythos films I’ve seen even if it wasn’t a real Lovecraft adaption. It’s on Amazon and I did see it on YouTube too, though I’m not sure what quality it is. I have to wonder how Sandy liked it.
