Monster of the Day

I am very excited. I have been waiting for American release dates for the anime film Demon Slayer: Mugen Train for quite a while now. It's finally set to hit theaters starting April 23rd. I'm kind of hoping that it will get a regular release, although anime films tend to play two to four…

We haven't checked out Amazon Prime for a while. They now feature Voodoo Woman, another AIP movie that again cannibalizes Paul Blaisdell's suite from The She-Creature. Man, that thing got a lot of use.

So...Disney now owns the Alien franchise (and Predator) because they bought Fox. And apparently they've now declared that Alien will be there next "mega-franchise."

If horror needs more of anything, it's googly eyes.

Huh, the Benny Hill Halloween special got really weird. Still, it was always nice to see George Kennedy and Liberace getting work.

I love painted pulp covers, and the Italians were great at them. You really have to comb through them, though, to find any that are vaguely SFW. Even the covers that don't have outright nudity can have, oh, poses that are too risque. Worth the effort, though, because they are gorgeous. Also, it's nice…

  After surviving (somehow) the thing of which we shall no longer speak, and being waaaaaaaay behind (like four or five hours behind; herding cats, those people), we were down to our last two films. Luckily, they were both pretty great. The Rev brought Superfights, a film I'd never even heard of. Despite featuring…
