Monster of the Day #3008

I know I’ve been leaning on the Cult Cinema Classics channel pretty hard as I spotlight “films you can watch for free on YouTube.” There’s a reason for that, though. They have a good backlog of schlock, and their film prints are often very nice, especially for things uploaded onto YouTube.

Another nice aspect is that the channel is still aggressively adding movies, several a day in fact. Just last night an extremely nice print of the gruesome and hard to see Monster of Piedras Blancas was added. Today already they are scheduled to add Werewolf of Washington and The Cosmic Man. In the last several days, only counting genre films, they’ve posted Bride of the Monster, Nosferatu (the oringal), The Dungeon of Harrow, Wild World of Batwoman and Brides of Blood. That’s just in the last three days! So in another week it’s possible 10 or 15 more monster films will be available.

    Is it too early for an ‘Alas, poor Yorick’ joke?

    More like, “That was a mighty big head you had there mister.”

    And thanks! I’ll have to give Cult Cinema Classes another look. They’ve been popping up in YouTube feed since watching ‘Queen of Blood’.

    I’ll have to take a look at ‘Piedras Blancas’. I wonder how the film crew was able to get away with all the gore in that movie given when it was made?

    They are aggressively adding new flicks all the time, and generally post prints ranging from good to very good. So it’s a nice channel.

    It was definitely (hee hee) ahead of its time in that department.

    Ken… go to your room… now!

  • Eric Hinkle

    Ugh!

    Really though even today the scenes of the little girl (though all we see is the reaction of others) and the one with the crab picking at a man’s severed head still feel like pretty strong stuff

    One of my Christmas gifts was the two-volume set of _Keep Watching the Skies!_ I remember that one of the complaints in that reference about this movie was that it had the least convincing fake human head in the history of movies. :-)

    Was that written before Killing Spree was made? Because I think that’s the all-time champ for me.
