Monster of the Day

  Damn goth kids!

Hey, you got your rip-off of Predator in my rip-off of Alien!* [*A good rip-off, but a rip-off nonetheless.]

Well, obviously this guy redefined the invisible monster for the modern age. Once they were used as a cheapie substitute for special effects. Not so after this (or at least less so), as the computer camouflage effect seen here launched a zillion similar monsters. It's the sort of thing that became so ubiquitous so…

Now that's genre filmmaking at its finest. (Came out two years after 2001 a Space Odyssey, by the way.)

Early experiment with Axe Body Spray were...sub-optimal.

Invisible Monster Week! We've already had this beastie as a visible monster, but really, you can't go Invisible Week and leave him off. Kudos to the filmmakers, who managed to make the invisible monster nearly as scary as the really, really neat visible ones later. By counter-intuitively using stop-animation for the 'invisible' part, along…

Frankly, I thought the first sequel to The Car would have featured the drive shaft. But whatever.

For some reason, women's focus groups did not find the new Beauty and the Beast TV show was romantic as the old one.

Boy, get rid of the silverfish and then this happens.

This made less domestically than that awful remake of When a Stranger Calls, and that was following the Spider-Man movies. I don't get it.
