So last Friday's Watch Party subject was Vampire Moth, a 1956 black and white Japanese horror movie that was kind of a proto-giallo, especially in that it was quite hard to follow the plot. Even so, it was pretty great. The scenes were good enough that it kept your interest even after you gave…

Eureka has put out a very nice set of krimis, one of which was the daffy The Mad Executioners. They are a star chambers in *cough, cough* England who "try" and execute murders who have evaded the law. (When, presumably, not judging Baron Vitelius d'Estera.)

At least the lighting is good.Friday's Discord Watch Party subject was Challenge of the Lady Ninja, a very fun Thai ninja movie. Check it out, its on YouTube. Suggested by Blake Matthews, who has a whole series of yearly breakdowns of martial arts movies, in print or for Kindle, on Amazon.Thursday I leave for…

Ah, Yea Olde Corrupt Skellington Cop. Happy Friday, everyone! Watch something stupid this weekend. Indeed, watch something stupid (but entertaining) at tonight's Discord Watch Party. It's the only one this month.
