Monster of the Day

Cult Cinema Classics hasn't (gasp) added a monster movie in the last day or two. They did add the goofy Vincent Price proto-Giallo The Bat, but there's no monster there. Still fun, though. As it turns out, though, there are like, I don't know, dozens of movies on YouTube from sources other than CCC.…

I know what you're thinking. But they didn't even have CGI back then. How did they do it? OK, it's no Gorilla at Large (that movie is great), but if you only watch one movie where Raymond Burr might be turning into a gorilla, make it Bride of the Gorilla. Available for free watching…

FoJ Gamera977 suggested Sector 7. There was a time (I'm sure I've said this before) when I looked at my thousands of DVDs and Blu Rays and thought, why did I bother. Everything's on streaming. That's not true, though. I know Sector 7 used to be available somewhere, but now it's not on Amazon…

I looked for a picture of Maximilian from The Black Hole (which I must admit I've never seen), but I couldn't find a menacing one. I think it might be available on Disney Plus. Anyway, in lieu of that, here's the monster from the obscure monster slasher flick The Slayer from 1982. Available for…

So the Cult Cinema Classics channel on YouTube just posted our old friend They Saved Hitler's Brain, which like Curse of Bigfoot was an old, short silly movie that filmmakers later added half an hour of related footage to so as to make it movie length for TV sales. Still, the image of Hitler's…

Got a movie you want to push for a bit more home viewing before, hopefully, the lock downs start expiring? FoJ BChasm has a suggestion: "What must be the most adorable killer robot ever, from1995's "Screamers," a criminally underrated film. In the film, Peter Weller describes it as a "reptile" but anyone watching this…

Later today the Cult Cinema Classics channel on YouTube is posting the seminal Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, probably the first full length horror film. By dint of being first, it probably establishes at least 40% of all horror movie cliches, with the first supernatural horror movie, Nosferatu accounting for another 40% of better. Really,…

While Forrest Tucker was in England to make The Crawling Eye, he also starred in Cosmic Monsters, aka The Strange World of Planet X. It's a typically all over the map '50s sci-fi film. Being British, it's also a bit nastier than you'd expect a film from that era to be. Available on a…

Our old pals at Cult Cinema Classics on YouTube continue to post movies every day, although they seem to be running lower on horror films. Not out of them, but the volume has dipped. They did post the sleazy mini-classic The Brain that Wouldn't Die the other day, though. While we're all monster guys,…

Presumably to have a show/character that he completely owned the rights to (Kolchak was adapted from an unpublished book, and much improved in the process), TV director/producer Dan Curtis following the jaw-dropping success of The Night Stalker with a clone pilot called The Norliss Tapes. It's also pretty great, although star Roy Thinnes was…
