Monster of the Day #3318

I just told this anecdote, but it bears repeating. I was in Texas and mulling how dumb the characters in Ghosthouse were. As Sandy was right there, I asked for his opinion on the matter: Was there ever a movie with a dumber set of characters than the ones in Ghosthouse. He briefly considered…

Monster of the Day #3317

Robowar. Bruno Mattei movies are often accused of ripping off other film. Well, I don't see anything here that makes me think of any other film.

Monster of the Day #3316

So...I looked for a still from Deep Blood, but the entertaining mock shark they built for the film is generally shrouded in murk, so as to keep us from getting very good looks at it. Booooo! Also, they cut in a lot of live footage of various other sharks, all meant to represent this…

The Fall of the House of Petersen….

Sandy for whatever reason (pity? barely suppressed scorn? a mania for self-destruction) interviewed me when last I was in Texas. He has now followed through with his mad scheme to post the results on his YouTube channel, Sandy of Cthulhu. For the remainder of who you not yet met me in the all too…

Monster of the Day #3314

If there's one thing the world's been crying for (#2 would be a complete cure for Covid), it would be a good release of Yeti Giant of the 20th Century. Past releases looked like they were taken from VHS rips. Now with a reasonable amount of digital clarity, we can finally accurately and fairly…
