Friday's Watch Party subject was Santo and Blue Demon vs the Monsters. It's on YouTube. It's 80 minutes long, and despite its short length, it not only features the long obligatory stretches of wrestling matches, but eventually five-ten minutes of watching some night club musical numbers. Even so, it was pretty great, and everyone…

I've mentioned before that for me, Pyramids of Mars is the single best Doctor Who arc. Best Doctor at his prime, best companion (Sarah Jane, of course), dripping with Hammer-esque gothic atmosphere, and one of the best villains ever. Really, really great. And available for free viewing on YouTube and (according to GalaxyJane) Tubi.…

Horror of Fang Rock is classic Philip Hinchcliffe-era gothic horror, basically a monster oriented version of 10 Little Indians. In the end, the alien menace turned out to the Rutan, a race oft mentioned (they were the military rivals of the much more prevalent Sontarans) but only ever seen here. Unless they have appeared…

Recently The Brain of Morbious was downloaded, and it's pretty great, practically a homage to the old Universal horror classics. Plus,…

Friday's Discord Watch Party, horror movies every Friday in October, was Werewolf in a Girl's Dormitory. Way less sleazy than the title suggests (sadly), and way too talky, but a fun subject to riff on, which is the important thing.Hope to see you next Friday.

Battle Royale in theaters this weekend…

2000's dystopian Japanese flick Battle Royale, about a class of high school students who find themselves assigned to kill all their classmates (after being provided a variety of weapons of various levels of lethality to do so), is playing nationally Sunday night. I *think* that's the only showing, but since BR is up there…

As a proud proponent of DEI, I followed our showing of Voodoo Man with a showing of Voodoo Woman. As the keen-eyed among might note, the suit is adapted from Paul Blaisdell's oft-used costume from The She Creature. Frankly, I found the first twenty minutes of the film a slog, as it featured low-grade…
