Monster of the Day #3153

Still doing your last minute Christmas (sorry Doctor Who, Festive) shopping? Why, nothing says kiddie fun like a game based on a national trauma-inducing horror film, complete with human skull. I mean, the culture is far more saturated with dark humor these days--hence the Jaws video game where you actually play the shark and…

Monster of the Day #3152

My main problem with Piranha (the original, obviously) is that the idea of using genetically altered super-piranha as bio-weapons by dumping them into rivers in enemy territory is utterly ridiculous. And I mean, ridiculous by B-movie standards. How would you keep them from traveling into friendly or neutral territory? How would you get rid…

Cullen mentioned these yesterday. Sadly, Mr. Nima doesn't have a ton of work. Quick, a Patreon for a horror movie poster book! I'd pledge. Friday the 13th, a series about this poor guy Jason who has a big shrimp on his head and keeps getting violently attacked by people. Nothing says Jason like a…

I found...this. I have no idea what to make of it. What's with the guy killed with the pickaxe? Is Freddy a murderous librarian now? It this a movie poster? Just a painting? Weird.

  I put up a wonderful classic Dracula poster yesterday, how about a wonderful Bride of Frankenstein poster? Man, that's nice. I'm not good with languages. Is that the French poster?

First of all, great poster. I love that style. Second of all, and I'm serious here, is this poster gay-baiting? I mean, given the film's tagline (on the poster), the expressions on their faces, etc.  Of course, Dracula's Daughter was the first movie to really bring that issue to the forefront.

For an absolutely gooftacular monster, basically a dimestore (dollar store now, I guess) version of Manda, Reptilicus has sure gotten a lot of play. Barring a remake (which could NEVER recapture the charm of the original), just about everything that it could inspire has come to pass: First, there are two versions of the…

So I've been reading Anders Runestad's I Cannot, Yet I Must: The True Story of the Best Bad Movie of All Time Robot Monster. I put off buying it for a long time, because the paperback is about $30, and the Kindle edition was about $12. However, it lurked on my Amazon Wish List…

Chad R said something that really resonated with me at the last T-Fest. He said when he looked at monster films to watch on Amazon Prime the first thing he did was check when it was made. If it was made after the '90s, it was skippable, since the vast majority of those are…

Coincidentally, I got an email from Amok Time toys that featured...this. Needless to say, I had to post it. If anyone actually wants one, they are check out the Amok Time website. What a world. (There's also a glow in the dark one on Amazon, but it's like $70.)
