Yes, knife on a stick should definitely do the job. Happy Friday, everyone! Have a great weekend. Watch something stupid.

Man, that's got it all. hot babe, dude in trench coat with a pork pie hat  firing a lovingly details M1911, and, of course, Robed Skeleton. Also, the stories don't trail off half way through!

OK, so another speed run for Basement Fest '25 as we hit a stretch with no monsters. GalaxyJane picked the fun but modest TV pilot Wonder Woman. This is the one with blonde Cathy Lee Crosby as Diana, playing the character when she was in her (far cheaper) depowered, Emma Peal-lite period. The real…

After our extended breakfast break at Walker Bros (one of the reasons I think so many people have cleaved to Basement Fest over B-Fest), we returned to start the Saturday proper films.

So after the highly kid-friendly antics of Matilda, we turned to classic '80s cheese. Chad R selected Without Warning (1980), often cited as Predator before there was Predator. A super tall alien (Kevin Peter Hall, who in fact indeed also played the Predator) uses toothy organic frisbees to hunt down rural humans. A rare…

Monster of the Day #3677

After surviving my second, and hopefully final, viewing of Devil Story (available on Blu Ray on Amazon for a bargain price of $35), we moved on to one of my picks, Matilda. Not the Danny Devito film from the 90s, but the boxing kangeroo film from 1978, with big stars like Elliot Gould and…
