Monster of the Day

I can't imagine anyone going to see Dr. Phibes and being disappointed, because it's great. Still, that poster promises a film that tonally is very different than the actual movie.

This Italian poster actually gives us one of the better looks at the monster than most of the foreign posters. I guess I admire the fact that they don't want to completely blow what is, after all, pretty much the film's climax. On the other hand, it's not good ballyhoo. Screw whether the patron…

Well, the Italians certainly knew how to market the film to me, anyway. (Not sure about the red sub, though.)

Neat! Wow, late Thanksgiving means Christmas is rushing right up. Maybe this year I'll actually watch some of the tons of Christmas movies I've bought on DVD over the years.

I think pharmaceutical companies now name drugs via use the same list that was previously used to name monsters.

This is probably a repeat, but what a great cover. Man, I REALLY love those deep colors they had on these olds covers. That rich orange--also seen on The Thing over on the FF covers--is just spectacular.

I mean, it's a great cover, but I'm kind of scratching my head about the terror-invoking potential of a giant scarecrow.

Barbara Stanwyck, Space Queen! Happy Friday, everyone!

Man, I love these covers.

WHERE'S MY CAKE??!!!!
