Monster of the Day

We wanted to introduce Jamie and Mike to one authentic classic, so we followed up Pharaoh's Curse with From Hell it Came. Ah, the Tabonga. That's the stuff right there.

Sandy Petersen likes mummy movies. I know because two of his favorite childhood monster movies are oddball mummy movies. There's a married couple, Mike and Jamie (Mike blew all day waiting for my several times delayed flight to arrive to come pick me up at the airport---thanks, dude!), delightful people, who have been joining…
