Monster of the Day

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I just told this anecdote, but it bears repeating. I was in Texas and mulling how dumb the characters in Ghosthouse were. As Sandy was right there, I asked for his opinion on the matter: Was there ever a movie with a dumber set of characters than the ones in Ghosthouse. He briefly considered…

Robowar. Bruno Mattei movies are often accused of ripping off other film. Well, I don't see anything here that makes me think of any other film.

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…

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.
