Monster of the Day

Kiss of the Vampire is surely one of the lesser seen Hammer horror movies. I think I caught one rare TV broadcast of it back when I was a kid. However (for the moment anyway), there's a surprisingly decent print of it available for viewing free on YouTube. Happy (ugh) Monday, everyone. Be safe.

Yesterday's featured MotD, Fiend Without a Face, is not the only atmospheric British film that ends with the reveal of an awesome, tentacled brain monster. I've always loved the hinted-at backstory that suggests Forrest Tucker has troubleshooted alien invasions in the past. And of course it was featured on MST3K. The Crawling Eye, aka…

OK, maybe it's time to go afield from the Cult Cinema Channel on YouTube. There are a lot of other movies available, although a lot of them are on random channels. One of the many many films out there (at least for the moment) is fan favorite Fiend Without a Face, a favorite of…

Frankenstein's Daughter is...kind of a mess. It's no I Was a Teenage Frankenstein, that's for sure. Still, you can watch it for free on the Cult Cinema Classics channel on YouTube.

The Cult Cinema Classics channel on YouTube has been on another tear lately. They don't exclusively post horror/sci-fi (today's posts are Fairbanks' silent The Black Pirate, Jose Ferrer's Oscar-winning turn as Cyrano de Bergerac, and the Vincent Price noir-ish thriller Shock), but they do put them on waves. In the last four days or…

  Nothing says fun like a goofy giant bug movie. In this case I mean that literally, since the titular beastie is a fabric covered Volkswagen Bug. There is no escape from a monster that gets that kind of gas mileage! On (duh) the Cult Cinema Classics channel on YouTube. Everyone have a great…

Here's a treat. A day or two ago the YouTube channel Cult Cinema classics posted a VERY nice print of White Zombie. Indeed, it's amazing that an independent cheapie from 1932 still can possibly look this good. Somebody must have been preserving the master print for many decades. The film provides Bela Lusosi, just…

Have I been hitting the Cult Cinema Classics channel on YouTube a bit hard lately? It's hard to get away from, since they are adding new monster movies (along with many other genres) so fast I can barely get to their backlog. I mean, later today they're adding The Giant Claw, the first movie…

Ah, hello old friend. Peckish? Have some of these anchovies. Because fish is good brain food. Available to watch, unsurprisingly, the Cult Cinema Classics channel on YouTube. If you have Amazon Prime you can double bill it with The Medusa Touch. There's a reason for that double bill, but please everyone, no spoilers. Anyway,…

  FoJ Bchasm suggested this, and I'll let him explain why. "I've enclosed a shot of Molesaar, from the 1983 film "The Keep."  I've always thought his first appearance in the film was one of the most beautiful scenes in horror movies, if not movies in general.  I think he'd make a great MotD.…
