Monster of the Day #3049

There aren't a lot of color stills caps from the fairly obscure 1970 flick Bigfoot. This black and white one is pretty good, though, with the lack of color probably making the suit look even worse, and with Joi Lansing and John Carradine featured prominently. The 'all-star' cast also includes Chris Mitchum, Doodles Weaver…

Monster of the Day #3047

I don't know peplums enough to give them the love they deserve here. They just didn't play on TV very much back in the day. Still, they are oft goofy delights, as explicated by various examples appearing on MST3K. It would be nice it get some remastered widescreen Blu Ray sets to show them…

Cult Cinema Classics has put up a fairly decent print of Attack of the Giant Leeches. The one caveat is that it has French subtitles burned on it. Well, you can't have everything. This is, after all, a film that generally looks pretty murky even when you can see it. It's almost like they…

Sandy Petersen, when he's bored beyond endurance (better than Holmes' cocaine, I suppose), will occasionally call me and we'll telewatch a dumb movie on Youtube or Amazon Prime. Last week we watched (not too diligently, as we were yakking the whole time) the obscure Space Probe Taurus, a film I only vaguely remembered having…

Hump day! I'm actually going to go visit my sister and niece this weekend, the first time I have done so since the COVID thing started. So that will be nice. We might even go out to eat, although only outside dining here in Illinois, and even that just started this week. Black Magic…

I'm a little annoyed by YouTube's new system of randomly inserting commercials into everything. I mean, really, you're two and a half minutes into a ten minute video and it stops for a commercial? Anyway, I came across this. Apparently Black Magic was a horror comic published by Prize Comics in the '50s (after…

I mentioned when Mausoleum was a recent MotD that the '80s saw a run of supernatural-based horror movies where demons or possessed people or whatnot had basically unlimited powers and used them to kill people in vary splattery ways. Kind of like The Omen, only with a lot more glowing green eyes and cheese.…

Monster of the Day #3037

How about some '80s schlock? And nobody does '80s schlock like the Italians. They made a whole industry out of knocking off a small handful of American and Australian genre films (mostly Alien, Terminator, Road Warrior and Escape from New York). This is an Alien rip-off, and it's dumb, gory and a lot of…

Monster of the Day #3036

It's a bad look these days to complain about having to go back to work today, so I won't. In fact, the advantage of the Monday holiday is that you still have a short week to go, so I have that going to me. There's a good print of She Demons on YouTube, and…
