Monster of the Day

I assume is knock-off Frazetta, but it's pretty decent and obviously nearly as inaccurate to the film as the poster for Sea Serpent. Other than that, the film is best known for a) being directed by Larry Buchanan, b) being none too successfully set in "Scotland", and c) having a lovable Nessie big unwieldy…

Last Friday's Watch Party was the recently added Frogs, a film I saw when I was nine or ten in my hometown Pickwick Theatre. Back in the day's when your Mom would give you a buck and let you walk the mile or so to the cinema to see a film all by yourself.…
