Monster of the Day #575

OK, I pretty much want to see this now.

  • Scott Hamilton

    I take it you’re getting ready for the Criterion set.

  • Ken_Begg

    I am! I had never even heard of this movie, so I’m pretty excited.

  • Flangepart

    I have NO idea what this is…except it’s likely Japanese, right?

  • Ken_Begg

    Hai.

  • Ericb

    They’re so cute when they’re little.

  • Gamera977

    Undead midget ninja putting a sleeper hold on the big skellie???

  • Ken_Begg

    I think it’s the Manster about to be getting hit by Riki-Oh.

  • The Rev.

    Nice, although I’m surprised you’d watch Riki-Oh, Ken, given the gore quotient.
    I am so glad I finally saw that. What a terrifically nutty film.

  • The Rev.

    I am not recognizing this. What is it?

  • Ken_Begg

    It’s The Living Skeleton, one of the films (with Goke, Genocide and X from Outer Space) coming out on a Criterion set on…hey! My birthday.

  • Scott Hamilton

    Not included: any living skeletons. It’s definitely my least favorite of the four. The genre roulette it goes through in the last half hour is pretty good, though.

  • The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra on Take Your Kid To Work Day.

    Will they at least include the dub track on THE X FROM OUTER SPACE?

  • The Rev.

    Ah. I’ve seen two of those, heard of the third, but this one is new to me.

  • how annoying. I already have Goke and X so I guess I have to buy a 4-film set for only 2 of the movies. I hate that
