500 MotDs! Who knew? Anyway, I clearly wanted someone iconic for this anniversary edition, and if much of the world can identify from your silhouette, I'd say you fill the bill.

One of the comparatively few monster movies based on a Stevie Wonder song. Update: Folks legitimately pointed out there was nothing specifically monster-like about the above still. However, it was the right size, and sort of matched the previous day's MotD. Here's a more beastie-esque image from the film, though.

Like that shot, but this one shows the monster better, and one should always pay due homage to a nice rubber suit.

The second nastiest death in the Cohen canon, I think. Films weren't quite as nihilistic back in the day (although the cracks really started after Psycho), so this one really had an impact on me as a kid. Still does, I guess.

From a script by Ed Wood. Seriously. Never seen this, but it's available on the Web in its entirety, and I think is on some of those Mill Creek megasets. I doubt at this point a clean copy of the film will ever pop up, but you never know.

Awwwwwwwww!
