Bad News: Fox is pushing about their MASSIVE ANTICIPATED sequel to Independence Day back to 2016. The good new is that that allows the sequel a handy marketing tool since it will at that point be exactly 20 years since the film movie came out. The only fly in the ointment is that Sony…

Marvel Teams with Netflix for Luke Cage show, more….

Disney has announced a big programming deal: They will produce 60 hours (!) of Marvel superhero-based shows for Netflix. These will hit the…uh, streamwaves, I guess, some time in 2015. Netfix is one of several services, along with Amazon and Hulu, dipping their toes in a big way into original programming. This is clearly…

Monster of the Day #803

So when a Frankenstein Monster and a vampire have a child, it's a werewolf. Just like one would guess. As Eric H. noted, apparently in the Munsters 'reimagining' the two Bryans (Singer and Fuller) did a year ago, little Eddie was a boy scout who tore his entire troop to pieces during a full…

Monster of the Day #802

I'm more of a Morticia Addams man,but there's no doubt Herman married above his station. Aristocrat Grandpa must have been miffed when his daughter married a...well, you can't call Herman a self-made man, but you know what I mean. There's a picture floating around the web of Lily wearing little more than a spider…

Monster of the Day #800

Sorry to bug out the rest of last week, but I got back and was too busy with catching up at work and other stuff. Had a typically great time at T-Fest, which went very well indeed. I'm sure the Rev. is turning his voluminous pages of notes into a diary. Thanks as always…

People seemed to like the last Them! candid, so.... The guy, I'm assuming, is director Gordon Douglas. A journeyman helmer (or, if you're being less generous, a bit of a hack) who made a lot of pictures over the decades, Them! is his best movie. It's really very, very well directed, probably because the…

Monster of the Day #799

Although Uncle Creepy and Cousin Eerie made but rare appearances on their covers--the pics from the last two days might well be the only ones--Vampirella for some reason(s) appeared on quite a few. I have no solution for this perplexing mystery. On the other hand...Frazatta. That can't hurt.

Monster of the Day #798

  Here's a shocker. The early issues of Creepy and Eerie, the ones edited and nearly entirely written by Archie Goodwin (no, not that Archie Goodwin--I think), are still amazingly fab. I urge anyone to go to their libraries and request the super-nifty Dark Horse hardcover reprint books of those, of which I own…
