Monster of the Day #3329

Updated on January 10, 2022 By Ken Begg 14 Comments

I probably did this one recently, but I can’t remember if I featured it as MotD of if it was just mentioned in notes. Anyway, no harm done if it’s a recent repeat. It’s on Amazon Prime for those who want to take a look. And in case it’s a repeat here’s a really neat candid photo of them working the monster puppet.

    It’s an awesome movie. I’m surprised it took this long for someone to think of when using a puppet monster to use puppets for the human cast too.

    I don’t remember if I hyped this up in your comments or during a movie night, but I really enjoyed this. It should still be free on Prime, where it contains the short film and a great behind-the-scenes/history of its production, all of which combined is just over an hour and well worth that time. I absolutely love the monster design. It’s like a dinosaur who became a minor nature deity, which seems right at home with the whole yokai pantheon.

  • Given that there are over 3,300 MotD’s, (M’sotD?) we can forgive you an occasional duplication.

    That’s a nice-looking puppet/suit. I think I recall the discussion here, but I’ve forgotten the name of the film.

    What is it?

    Oops, sorry, it’s Howl from Beyond the Fog

    New one on me. I’ll have to ask my brother if he’s heard of it. He’s a bit more versed in newer movies than I am.

    Okay, what movie is it? It looks Japanese by the small torii in the first photo.

  • Ken_Begg

    It’s a little (I think) Chinese short movie. I think it’s just kind of gotten out there by dint of being on Amazon Prime.

  • The Rev.

    I don’t want to be pedantic, but that’s what we do here, right? It is Japanese.

    I honestly don’t remember where I heard of it, but I want to say a livestream or a podcast. As soon as I heard “new kaiju movie” I immediately started looking for it and found it on Amazon Prime (where it’s still available as of today).

  • Gamera977

    It’s as Ken stated below ‘The Howl From Beyond the Fog’.

    Yeah Ken’s knowledge of bad movies is almost godlike (possibly only exceeded by Sandy) but I can excuse a slip-up every now and again.

  • Ken_Begg

    Nope, corrections always appreciated.

  • Eric Hinkle

    Thanks, just put it on my ‘to watch’ Prime list.
