NBC adds a Dracula show….

Aside from Ironside, NBC is raising even more undead. I understand mileage varies, and I hold no contempt for anyone who disagrees with me on this, but man, that strikes me as a real piece of shit. I can't f*ckin' believe they are trotting out that reincarnated lover crap again!! Seriously! Also, the Sherlock…

Monster of the Day #688

Well, I mentioned this flick in the last MotD, so it's a natural segue. Not Quarry's more famous character, of course, but this is floating around on DVD for completists. And again, not a bad double bill with Werewolves on Wheels, a film it has a lot in common with.

Agents of SHIELD teaser…HOLY CRAP!!

Monster of the Day #687

We close out '70s Wolfmen Week with this oddity (which, unlike yesterday's subject, is available on DVD). Genre-crossing films were a lot rarer back then, although this film is a lot like Robert Quarry's Deathmaster, made during the same period only with werewolves instead of vampires.  The pace is pretty slow and the scenes…

Monster of the Day #686

Oddly, I couldn't find a good color still of this. This seems like the old Sam Arkoff sort of thing, where they thought of a title and then made the movie around it. For all that, it's pretty good. It really is a very traditional wolf man movie, with the guy (Kerwin Matthews, Harryhausen's…
