Croaked Frog Monster from Hell is apparently just Bill Rebane's gillman movie Rana Legend of Shadow Lake, as retitled by Troma. It's a Bill Rebane movie, so don't expect the campy tone suggested by the new title and the Troma logo at the beginning of the movie. But hey, it's free on YouTube.

The Return of Tabonga! This one is on Amazon Prime, although it might be on YouTube as well. Originally called The Loves of Hercules (on Amazon it's Hercules vs the Hydra), it imported American *cough* stars Mickey Hargitay and his wife Jayne Mansfield, who comically makes all the normal buxom Italian actresses in the…

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.

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…

Kirby was made to draw (and invent) comic books, but man, you can't fault the guy's horror work.

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.…
