Jabootu's Bad Movie Dimension

You should never murder a Cyberman, and you should never jilt a Cyberman, and you should NEVER jilt the ghost of the Cyberman you murdered.  

  Apparently the sales figures for the risque cover I included yesterday were strong. This is the next issue and already girls are getting their shifts ripped off. Weird Tales would still go through runs of 'adventure' covers rather than 'fantastic' covers, though. Damsels in distress were pretty much a constant at this point,…

I noticed some issues of Weird Tales for Kindle on sales over the weekend for .99. Plus I had some digital credits for a bunch of DVDs/Blu Rays I bought last week. These are reformatted for digital reading, so they don't have ads or anything. PDF scans of the actual issues are available on…

I'm sure everyone's seen it, but The Last Man on Earth stars Vincent Price, is one of several thematic precursors to Night of the Living Dead, and although it's not perfect by many means, remains the best screen adaptation of Richard Matheson's novel I Am Legend. Anyway, it's available with several other fun movies…

I guess Larry didn't think he could use the It's Alive/Creature of Destruction/Curse of the Swamp Monster suit again. And yes, it looks awful--never do we appreciate the superlatively talented Paul Blaisdell more (or Roger Corman or Peter Graves…

One of the less televised Hammer horrors back in the day was Kiss of the Vampire. I think one of the major reasons is the lack of familiar Hammer actors. Not just Lee and Cushing, but no Andre Morell, no Andrew Keir. Hell, no Michael Ripper. I thought he was in everything. It's got…

It's been a while since we covered movies available for free on YouTube (although their out of nowhere commercial interruptions are pretty obnoxious).There seem to be a lot of very nice prints (presumably pirated) available there. Universal Video seems to be an official Universal channel. They don't have a lot of horror on there…

Speaking of screaming skulls.... So last Friday I did something I hadn't done in a long while; I went to a theater to see a movie. They were showing a bunch of Halloween themed films to try to pull people in. It wasn't working, as the lobby was a ghost town. I mean, it…
