Again, Oct 1, a week from Saturday, in a theater (probably) near you. Check it out. Truly a classic.

TCM and Fathom are coming through for us oldies who want to see actually golden era horror in theaters for Halloween. On Saturday, Oct 1 (one week from Saturday) at 1:00 they will be showing a double bill of The Mummy and The Bride of Frankenstein. The 27th will feature the Claude Rains Phantom…

I know we just featured this guy, but man, this picture is so good. I can't help the nostalgia. Not that I specifically ever loved any of these shows, because (for whatever reason) I didn't. But I do love the idea that craftsman designed and built this prop for *one* episode of a half…

This is the monster that opens Voyage into Space, as well as the series, because it ties into Johnny Sokko getting the Flying Robot. I love sea monsters, and colorful sea monsters are rare, outside of Destination Inner Space.

Needless to say, it was pretty fun.  The show only ran one season (26 episodes)…

So...it snuck up on them? Er, it's giant...and a snail! Two shows with giant snails/slugs: Bofuri and Ultra Q. Man, the Ultra Q snail is insanely fantastic. Possibly my favorite monster from that show. Uhm, something about needing a crapload of garlic butter, or a lot of salt, or something. Hey, it's Friday. Have…

OK, even I'm not sure this strictly constitutes a monster, but.....  C'mon. This made me think of that period when every third DC Comics cover featured a gorilla because they ALWAYS sold better.
