Monster of the Day #3372

So after Kraa we completely switched gears. Chad R showed Murder He Says, a 1945 murder comedy starring Fred MacMurray that's probably the best thing you're going to find as a cofeature for Arsenic and Old Lace. Ma Kettle also stars in it. Although MacMurray later was know for playing ditherers (Absent Minded Professor)…

Well, we never did explicate what our little group watched at Basement Fest '23. The first Basement Fest was held because they had cancelled B-Fest because of Covid. However, a goodly portion of the regular B-Fest people decided they liked this one better--we pick the movies, my friends Paul and Holly have a swank…

Monster of the Day #3370

We watched a Gamera movie several months ago at a Watch Party. However, I barely got Howling II in after it had been on my list for a long time, because it turned out it was less than two weeks from leaving Amazon. I would have felt like a prat if we had had…

[Warning: Anime] No Bofuri this week

For those watching Bofuri, we are getting another one week delay. Obnoxious, but better to do the show right than to force it. And hey, if it hadn't been for the first two-week delay, we'd have already finished the season, instead of having two episodes left. The final two episodes will air (first) a…

Watch Party in a few hours…weather permitting….

Hey, everyone. We got storms tonight, with occasionally heavy rains and hail. So...if I don't send out the invitation in about an hour and a half, it'll be because my power went out. Not that I expect huge lamentations if one of these doesn't come off, but hey, forewarned is forearmed.

Empire of the Ants is fine, but it has its problems. One is personal; I’ve gone on record many times about how I generally don’t like side stories in my sci-fi films, and that includes the “ants enslaving humans” thing. So that’s one more reason to prefer Food of the Gods; it’s about giant…

Bert I Gordon last made a movie with monsters in 1965, and that one, Village of the Giants, wasn’t really a monster movie. After that we branched out in different genres. And although he did make a horror movie in 1972 (starring Orson Welles!), it didn’t have a monster in it. So it was…

Sorry about the late post. Frankly, I overslept a little this morning and didn’t have time to post before I left to work. The reason I overslept is that I *gasp* not only saw a movie in a theater yesterday, I saw two movies in a theater yesterday. For those who don’t know, I…

Although Mr. Gordon’s work in the 1960s often involved the macabre, he was definitely straying from his giant monster work of the 1950s. The ‘60s saw a kiddie film, a ghost story, a TV pilot built around that ghost story, a kid-oriented sword and sorcery flick, another TV pilot ripping off My Favorite Martian,…
