Monster of the Day #2058

How about another “classic” vs. movie on Amazon Prime. There’s Frankenstein meets the Space Monster. It did well at T-Fest several years ago, anyway.

    Lol, Amazon recommended it to me last night so I went ahead and watched it. Yes, it’s the gift that keeps on giving.

    Doctor Nadir was the apex of the movie. I’m thinking of rebuilding my Romulan science officer in Star Trek: Online to make him more like Nadir.
    ‘Activate cloak! Maximum power!!!’

    And then all the other great stuff. The flying saucer with plywood bulkheads, the hero heroically riding around on a moped, it’s so good!!!

    I saw this one decades ago on TV, and my recollection is that this guy only shows up near the end.
    Interesting design, though.

    “… Nadir was the apex…” I see what you did there! :-)

    This guy can look in two different directions at once. I suspect that most of the film’s budget went into creating this masterpiece.

  • Wade Harrell

    I always like these exquisite corpse type monsters where it looks like three different people designed different parts of the monster without knowing what the others are doing!

  • Gamera977

    Thanks, that’s about as clever as I get I’m afraid.

    Your zenith is appreciated none the less.

    The orthodontist is going to make those tuition payments after all.

    Evidently the eyes made the costume too difficult to wear in the confines of the set. It has bulging eyes in press pix like this one but in the movie they took out the bug eyes and let the actor use his own, giving the monster an even more skull-like face.

  • Eric Hinkle

    If the designer was smart he would have claimed that was deliberate. Then everyone could tell him what sort of a genius he was with such a limited budget.
