Dude, I wish that worked, but no, you need to shovel the stuff. Look, I live in Chicagoland. So yes, eventually we're going to get snow. But if we didn't get any for Christmas (gray Christmases suck), I don't know why we need any for New Year's. Of course, I'll be inside all weekend…

Pretty. I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. And hey, there's another one coming right up. Having the holidays on a Friday is always a plus. Did anyone get anything good? The adults in my family don't exchange much any more (although my sister got me a nice pair of slippers and a…

As a kid I sadly didn't own this game, although I knew someone who did and played it a lot. It was Monopoly (way back before Monopoly started doing variant games) with monster movies. As you can see, it was awesome. I'm pretty sure the game was unlicensed, probably both as a game and…

They kept trying, anyway. I couldn't even find a still for I Vant to Suck Your Blood.

My main problem with Piranha (the original, obviously) is that the idea of using genetically altered super-piranha as bio-weapons by dumping them into rivers in enemy territory is utterly ridiculous.

  I put up a wonderful classic Dracula poster yesterday, how about a wonderful Bride of Frankenstein poster? Man, that's nice. I'm not good with languages. Is that the French poster?

For an absolutely gooftacular monster, basically a dimestore (dollar store now, I guess) version of Manda, Reptilicus has sure gotten a lot of play. Barring a remake (which could NEVER recapture the charm of the original), just about everything that it could inspire has come to pass: First, there are two versions of the…

So I've been reading Anders Runestad's I Cannot, Yet I Must: The True Story of the Best Bad Movie of All Time Robot Monster. I put off buying it for a long time, because the paperback is about $30, and the Kindle edition was about $12. However, it lurked on my Amazon Wish List…
