Monster of the Day

Question of the Day: Is this poster scarier if those are ghost cats, or just regular cats?

OK, this poster is making this movie look a LOT more epic than it really is. It's a Charles Band film, after all. That said, I do rather like the Bloodstone films, or at least I did when I watched them back in the day.

  OK, so now we know what the Japanese version of Creature of the Black Lagoon would have looked like. By which I mean, awesome.

I thought this might be a cheat, and that it didn't really have a monster. I loved the poster, though, so I was going to post it anyway. I watched the trailer on YouTube, though, and found out it is a vampire film (good news) made by Andy Milligan. Oh. Well, then. Maybe you…

Black gloves and caterpillars?!  Brrrrrrrrrrrrr! Also, in case you're wondering, that's castor oil. So it is pretty gross.
