I woke up to go to work and realized I had nothing set up. So...here's a FMF cover.

I watched Colossal over the weekend. More accurately, I watched some of it, and fast forwarded through the rest. It's the latest of a sort of mini-genre now, the Giant Monster Art House movie. Somehow they got Anne Hathaway (she's a thing, right?) and Jason Sudeikis to star in it. There wasn't a ton…

One last Highway to Hell shot. I figured Patric Bergin was nice enough to sit in the make-up chair while this was done, and so he deserved his due. As the Devil does.

A Hell Cop *and* a stop-animated Cerberus? Sign me up. This is one of those films that came out on VHS, never got a DVD release in all the years that followed, and then finally hit Blu Ray (from Kino!!) in 2016.

The box for this movie seemed omnipresent in video stores back in the day. I might even have rented it once, but I can't quite remember if I've watched it or not. I do remember seeing images of this scarified cop a LOT though.

Wow. A knife-wielding killer doll. That's fresh.

Sorry for the distressingly generic monster shot. However, this was the only such shot for this obscure DTV flick that didn't feature nudity.

So many made for video movies following the 80s, although as least this era featured monster suits rather than horrible SYFY CGI. And they often assembled pretty good casts. This one boasts Peter Riegert (was a sarcastic police detective, which he seemed to play a ton of), Joan Severance, William Hickey, Laurence Tierney and…

Have a great pre-Halloween weekend, everyone. Enjoy a classic monster movie or two.

Jack Russell! As I mentioned, I don't like the 'deformed' (big head) look that much, but this is a pretty nifty design.
