Monster of the Day

Damn, even in death the Japanese are perverts.

Not part of last week's gang, but I wouldn't want to leave them out. Except for Booberry, I must have eaten more of this than any of the other monster cereals. I don't really remember it, but I know I had all the plastic figures (which I think Sandy COMPLETELY ripped-off for his Cthulhu…

Big surprise here. Still, these were heady days in early nerd culture. A big time breakfast manufacturer built (successfully) an entire line of cereals based on old monster movies, figuring kids liked monsters, and that at least a percentage of them (along with their parents) would recognize ersatz voices based on Lugosi, Karloff and…

Not the most suspenseful week, true. Still, even if I never really ate the cereal, I'll take this guy over, say, the Monster from Van Helsing anyday.

We wrap up our re-posts of Readers' MoD week with this entry from Cullen. Quoteth the man himself: You have no idea how hard it is for me not to just type "Goodnight!", hit submit, then run off some place giggling like an idiot. None. That's my level of humor in a nutshell, folks.…

Reader's MoD Week, the Rev. Edition. He testifies: "Sadly, these kind of faded images are probably the best look we'll ever get at this particular kaiju. I know that sometimes a lost movie will be found, like a few years ago with that great print of Metropolis. However, that was a recognized classic that…

Quoth the Rock: "Given the chance to do a MOTD is a thrill, and I came up with several good choices. Ultimately, I felt this was the best one to go with." Ken could do a whole week of this theme, Monsters That Were Only On The Poster!" Editor Ken: Indeed, despite being legitimately…
