Monster of the Day #3316

So…I looked for a still from Deep Blood, but the entertaining mock shark they built for the film is generally shrouded in murk, so as to keep us from getting very good looks at it. Booooo! Also, they cut in a lot of live footage of various other sharks, all meant to represent this one, and you can imagine how well that works.

Then I tried to find a still for Rest in PIeces. No luck. Weren’t there zombies or demons in that one? Maybe not. Maybe I’m thinking of another film, like Don’t Panic.

Anyway, here’s a rather classic Grim Reaper from the Swedish silent classic The Phantom Carriage. Each year the last person to die on New Year’s Eve becomes Death for the following year. So it’s a pretty good New Year’s Eve movie.

    Have you done the Banshee or Dullahan from Darby O’Gill and the little people?

    ‘I am the ghost of Jabootu! On Christmas Eve you shall be visited by The Ghost of Bad Movies from the Past, The Ghost of Bad Movies of the Present, and The Ghost of Bad Movies Yet to Come!’

    That sounds interesting, I need to look that up. With my Halloween reading I read a story based on an old Irish legend that the last person buried in a graveyard will be denied passing on and be stuck here as a guardian spirit watching over the cemetery.

  • Everyone knows that Dr. Death’s bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired.

    I would like to get a second opinion

    Bad Movies Yet to Come…I think that’s like all of them, now?

    I don’t know that I have. I do remember seeing it in the theater as a kid, and it was surprisingly scary for a Disney live-action film.

    Sadly, not many entertainingly bad ones, though.

    It’s really a good movie, the effects are pretty good including some amazing forced perspective, and Sean Connery sings! What is it about Disney getting action-genre actors to sing, like Kirk Douglas, too.
