Monster of the Day

You know, we could probably do an entire T-Fest of "Astronauts Come Back from Space as a Monster" movies. Easily. Weird little micro-genre. Anyway, Incredible Melting Man, on Amazon Prime.

Warning: Movie may not completely cash the check written by the poster. Glad I got this one in before it fell off Prime. For last Friday's Watch Party we watched Konga, with the wonderful Michael Gough totally selling it. It was the perfect kind of flick for a watch party and it would be…

Just as a reminder, because who knows it will last, but Amazon Prime currently has all the Gamera movies available for viewing. I LOVE the spinning flying Gamera thing, by the way. It's my favorite thing in the series. Happy Friday, everyone. Watch something stupid. In fact, watch something stupid with us tonight in…

Amazon Prime still has the glorious, highly '80s misfire Lifeforce. How long will it be there? Who knows. Well worth a look, though.

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.
