Monster of the Day

If you're looking for a Shaw Brother's double feature for yesterday's Oily Maniac, well, it's not on Amazon Prime for free like that one, but you can rent Mighty Peking Man for $3. It's certainly got $3 worth of crazy.

Gamera mentioned Oily Maniac the other day, which from this still looks like the proto-Toxic Avenger. I was only vaguely aware of it, as I've seen it recommended in my Amazon Prime queue.

As Sunday continued, we watched two horror movies that only faintly offered monsters. The Black Pit of Dr M is probably the best and most atmospheric of the Mexican horror films. It's crazy, of course, but man, it's gorgeous. Then we watched an episode of the original The Tomorrow People, and if you think…
