Monster of the Day #3002

Updated on March 31, 2020 By Ken Begg 2 Comments

The ’80s really were the last heyday for practical effects monsters. As noted yesterday, I haven’t seen TerrorVision, but this thing was apparently huge and required several people to operate it. Although I wouldn’t trade his seminal work for anything, it does make you wonder what Paul Blaisdell could have whipped up with more modern materials.

Off to work soon. Keep well, everybody!

    I dunno, John Carl Buechler’s work always looked way too rubbery for me. I know that can be part of the charm, but it always took me right out of the movie. (“From Beyond” was probably the movie that suffered the most because of this.)

    I liked the big stupid goofy monster. It did bug me that one moment he’s the intelligence of a dog or cat and then he’s smart enough to impersonate a human. But all the all the movie is so goofy it didn’t get me down on it. I wish the movie were still on, it’s so much silly fun it’s a good antidote to how depressing things have been recently.

    I watched it somewhere around Halloween, which was six months ago so I guess it’s time for Amazon to pull it off Prime.
