I'm already a fan of this grasshopper epic. The giant bugs on the two- dimensional images of (I guess) Chicago are a unique solution to the staging of this...
Just bought this flick tonight while perusing the shelves at my local Mediaplay. I hadn't watched it in years. I forgot how good it was. I remembered...
Dean, My favorite sequence in 'Earth vs the Spider' is the one in which the beast is apparently dead and its corpse is in the gymnasium at the high school....
I made the mistake last night of staying up late to watch a film on USA titled "Marabunta," hoping it was an adaption of the classic short story "Larigan...
I have a weakness for Charlton Heston's scene chewing and I've enjoyed The Naked Jungle a couple of times. There is something terribly frightening about the...
Dean, Charlton Heston has made a surprising number of horror/sci-fi films for an actor who was once highly regarded, and he made them when he still had most of...
I saw this modern monster movie just the other day, and all in all I was rather entertained. It ain't a great movie by any stretch of the imagination, but it...
Dean, I finally got to see some of the saturation ads for 'Eight Legged Freaks' last weeks but it is unlikely I'll have a chance to see the film when it...
I don't remember the sound being too oppressive, but they did get one neat sound trick off, when at one point they used the stereo gimmick to locate a spider's...
After many years since I've seen it, I at last caught this classic western vampire thriller on AMC the other morning. Eric Fleming is as resourceful as I...
Hi there. This is one of the very few western/horror hybrids I'm aware of. I can add Shadow of Chikara, Teenage Monster and Campfire Tales to this off the top...
Iain, You might try to find a copy of 'Grim Prarie Stories' from director Wayne Coe. The anthology format film is very impressive, more so for its framing...
Yes, Dean, the film isn't a classic but it should be remembered for trying something different at a time when genre-bending was just about never considered....
I found it available on the net, so I know it's still available. I'll likely try to get one ordered. At a list price of less than $15 it's quite affordable for...
Iain, I forgot to mention "Billy the Kid vs Dracula" and 'Jesse James Meets Frankenstine's Daughter" which are only enjoyable for how very poorly performed and...
If you're talking about "Grim Prairie Tales," Dean, I would very much like to know where to find a copy. A friend of mine who teaches film classes had tried to...
Sorry Jon. I was speaking of Curse of the Undead. I've never seen Grimm Prairie Tales, but I know that you have a very high regard for this one. I've never...
I was thumbing through an old Wizard magazine this morning (I was reorganizing some comic boxes) and I found a little article saying that there was a...
I've heard a little about this independent movie, and I've even seen a few previews in the theatre. The premise is simple enough: a reporter goes to an...
Darn, Dean, I already have a copy of 'Curse of the Undead', which is an alright film to watch once or twice a year, or show to someone who has never seen it,...
Science-fiction and horror have become staples on television, but October is still the month in which the types of films we (sometimes) discuss here show the...
Me too. This place has been remarably "dead" (pun intended) for some time. Sadly all too often classic horror has been misplaced on the small screen by the...
Things have gone from active to inactive to actively dead around here. Thanks to Jon this club/group is still in existence. I would like to make a bid to...
... Today is my birthday, Dean... but you get the present. PRESTO! You're a moderator again. Hope you can do something with this cadaver. Frankly, I haven't...
Thanks. I know what you mean about the group thing, but I've noticed in recent weeks a revival of sorts in several clubs/groups I belong too. Maybe that is...
What was the best monster flick you saw in 2002? I cast the net quite widely on this one, so feel free to include any movie (TV or theatre) which made use of...
My vote is for...Lord of the Rings--The Two Towers! I know many might not think this a monster movie, but to my mind it does a masterful job of realizing a...
This seems to be happening at most of the groups I visit (speaking personally). Mosat of them have gone thru a loooong dead period since spring. I don't know...
