Monster of the Day

Am I high, or this is very familiar? I'm thinking it's a repainted sci-fi skin of a Man's Adventure cover (I mean, look at the native) with a guy fighting an upright komodo dragon or somesuch. My memory isn't the best, but the guy's face in the helmet certainly looks like it might have…

FRIDAY!!!! Wheeeeeee! Watch something stupid, people. Man, great painting.

Pulp covers! Neat! Cover story by the well known German author Manly Wade Wellman. One thing that is very evident about the German sci-fi pulps is that they are *much* less likely to incorporate a sexy female on the cover. I guess in a country that had actual porn you didn't need that sort…

So, back to German pulp covers. I looked at Chad R's list of everything we watched on T-Fest weekend and realized we barely watched anything with a monster it. It wouldn't be until Monday night, after like 10 more movies, that we showed Ship of Monsters for those who hadn't seen it. And I've…

Wow, already a week plus since T(ween) Fest 14. As veteran readers--i.e., all of you--will have gleaned by now, we start watching movies before the actual Saturday fest. We didn't watch anything in Houston this year, but as soon as we hit Dallas on the Fest eve the films started. The first was the…

I'm back! Another Tween Fest in the books. Next year will mark the 20th (!) annual T-Fest and the 15th annual Tween-Fest. We have big plans going. I'll start running through what we watched last weekend tomorrow. Today I mark one of the two great philosophers I have based my life on. (The other,…

About out the door to do four hours of work, then off to the airport to catch my flight to Houston. (Going to Dallas on Friday.) So last MotD for a week. Enjoy!

Getting ready to leave tomorrow for Houston and ultimately suburban Dallas. Whew! This looks familiar. Is it a recycled American cover? The only argument against it is that I've looked at a bunch of these covers and they rarely feature (sexy) women, which was comparatively rare for the American pulps. Still love this stuff,…

This picture itself is a spoiler, so...sorry. We had a small (but great) crowd on Friday's Watch Party, so I picked something short and sweet. I hadn't seen The Vampire Bat since I was a kid, and only vaguely remembered it as another poverty row cheapie. That largely proved incorrect. It wasn't a lavish…
