Monster of the Day

1932's The Monster Walks is presumably a generic Old Dark House movie. If i had to guess from the still, I'd say it's basically Cat and the Canary with maybe some Shh! the Octopus thrown in. I also have a soft spot for movies where the 'monster' is a guy in a gorilla suit.…

We haven't checked in with Amazon Prime for a while. Vincent Price, except for Dr. Phibes, didn't really do monster movies much. He and Corman's Poe films didn't have any--although Corman convinced AIP that "the house is the monster" when he pitched House of Usher to them. The one *cough* Poe film that has…

So my old friend Jeff was in town last Friday and we watched the terrific Jack Hill flick Switchblade Sisters, and then Grabbers, which is basically Ireland's Tremors. Both are well worth a look. Happy (?) Monday, everyone. Watch Party on Friday.

Warning: Woman in Red Dress might not actually be in this movie. Also, I know she looks pretty nonchalant. However, you know, she's used to dating Italian guys, so..... Have a great weekend, everyone. Watch something stupid. Watch Party next Friday.

WARNING: Machine Gun Babe may not actually be in movie.

Movie posters are basically artifacts of the past, but really, it's lobby cards that brings it all back. Ah, the salad days (such as they were) of my youth.

So Thursday evening (7:00 CST) features the first Godzilla movie, then 9:00 features MY first Godzilla movie. Yes, it's the one that started it all for the young Ken. Love this movie.

OK, so Thursday night. The 7:00 movie is the original Godzilla / Gojira. Haven't seen it in a theater for a while now, so obviously very happy.
