Monster of the Day

Hmm, that reminds me, I should go see a dentist before my insurance runs out.

As noted previously, I'm a tad distracted right now, and I have a ton more of these Samson covers in place, so we'll go with them again. They are pretty sweet. This is a reprint of the cover for issue #7, used as the cover of the first of the Dark Horse Archive reprint…

I liked Grabbers a lot, but man, this film was tremendous. I was depressed when it did so poorly here because they just doesn't seem to be a market for monster movies anymore. Hopefully Godzilla will change that.

Not as many Brit monster movies as you'd like, so I had to stretch back a ways. It's hard for me to think I haven't done this one before, but even so, it's pretty sweet, even if I had.

Day in the life of a British dentist.

We'll see what this guy can do with a bigger budget.

Saw this over the weekend, a very fun Irish film in the mold of Tremors. I can highly recommend it as a rare, fully successful modern day monster movie.

Man, there are a TON of these terrific covers. I could seriously do Mighty Samson covers for a month straight. I mean, again, look at that thing, it's gorgeous. This is one of the weirdest. I guess we're l0oking at the product of mad science?

  Issue #4 experimented and used a cover sans monster. I can only imagine there was an immediate sales dip, because it would be a loooooooooooong time, if ever, before beastie-less cover art was used again. #5 went back to basic, while also expanding the weirdness.    

It's pretty convenient when your monsters come equipped with handle bars.
