Monster of the Day

So...I looked for a still from Deep Blood, but the entertaining mock shark they built for the film is generally shrouded in murk, so as to keep us from getting very good looks at it. Booooo! Also, they cut in a lot of live footage of various other sharks, all meant to represent this…

I mentioned Undying Monster this weekend, as I'd just bought the Kino Lorber Blu Ray. So this post is a complete troll, because this is basically all the wolfman action you get in the film. If you watch it as an Old Dark House movie, it's fine, but as a werewolf movie it's more…

If there's one thing the world's been crying for (#2 would be a complete cure for Covid), it would be a good release of Yeti Giant of the 20th Century. Past releases looked like they were taken from VHS rips. Now with a reasonable amount of digital clarity, we can finally accurately and fairly…

So I've gone crazy with the DVD and Blu Ray buying this year (and clothes and other items from Creepy Co.; some unfortunates have seen my gaudy Halloween PJs when I was down in Texas). Black Friday saw another ton of buying, so I have HUNDREDS of extras-laden Blu Rays to start watching. So...I…

So after all my dithering I finally picked a (completely obvious) movie and we finally got another Amazon Watch Party up and running last Friday night. Thanks to The Rev for hosting, since it turned out that a comically large number of us, including myself, were having computer issues. Thanks also to the several…

Would Son of Godzilla be rated 'R' now for smoking? Meanwhile, the fanbase remains divided on Minya, but no one can argue that Godzilla isn't a surprisingly great dad. This is still one of my favorite Godzilla movies. This and Godzilla vs the Sea Monsters were the first ones I saw, admittedly. Watch party…

This baby is not only adorable, but championship-level good at both Hide & Seek and Peek-a-Boo.

Ah, we all fondly remember Zack Snyder's Zombie Babies. Actually, the Dawn of the Dead remake was pretty decent. However, I haven't heard a lot of great things about that zombie heist movie he made for Netflix. So as usual, action / horror directors seem to get worse as they get older.

Not nearly as scary as yesterday's robotic tot, the previous killer baby champion* was clearly the tyke(s) from Larry Cohen's It's Alive trilogy. The funniest is still the obliquely homicidal infant from The Devil Within Her, though. Man, I wish that was available for an Amazon Watch Party. *I'm not including the chestburster alien…

FoJ Kirk D (whose wife Patty is one of the great people you'll ever meet, excepts she absolutely adores the Twilight series, books and movies) nominates this, noting "The animatronic baby they made for Twilight was too creepy to use in the movie." Yeah, I'll say. I imagine it's even more disturbing watching it…
