Monster of the Day #3046

Cult Cinema Classics has put up a fairly decent print of Attack of the Giant Leeches. The one caveat is that it has French subtitles burned on it. Well, you can’t have everything.

This is, after all, a film that generally looks pretty murky even when you can see it. It’s almost like they didn’t think about the people who’ d want to see it 60 years in the future and thus didn’t protect the master print. (In fact, this might be why it’s so hard to find decent stills of the films, hence the lobby card.

    I like to think that if William Castle had made this he would have called the special FX technique that brought the monsters to life – ‘TrashBago Cam’.

    It’s also almost like they didn’t want you to get a good look at the creatures. I mean, why wouldn’t they want that???

    ‘Didn’t think of the people who wanted to see it 60 years in the future’? They probably didn’t think anyone would want to sit through 60 minutes of it at the premiere.

    On the other hand, you do get to see Yvette Vickers, so…

  • You and your Yvette Vickers obsession…

    Yeah, I guess it helps!
