Besides wanting to watch it ever since I read its synopsis, I was encouraged when TCM host Ben Mankiewicz spoke highly of The World, The Flesh and The Devil in its introduction prior to a recent airing. Sadly, I was disappointed on both fronts. While there are interesting elements of the “last man on earth”

Bats. I don’t know how to spell the sound that comes out of my mouth when I watch a movie with bats, as I curl into a ball shuddering in my seat. I don’t cover my eyes, but I raise my hands to my face in case I have to suddenly duck and cover should

On the news last week, I saw a clip of a young man in Florida for spring break during the current COVID-19 crisis. In a sunburned, what looked to me like drunken state, this kid said he didn’t care if he got Coronavirus; it wasn’t going to stop him from partying. Well, I’ve got a

From time immemorial the Earth has been bombarded by objects from outer space, bits and pieces of the universe piercing our atmosphere in an invasion that never ends. Meteors, the shooting stars on which so many earthly wishes have been born – of the thousands that plummet toward us, the greater part are destroyed in

Note: Originally posted on March 9, 2020. Do not ask how or why; simply enjoy Assignment Terror (1970.) I did… immensely. The set-up is incredibly fun, even if the result doesn’t take full advantage of it. Just think, an alien from a dying universe resurrects the classic monsters in order to seize control of the

When I got to the point in this review that I was going to reference actor Larry Vincent, I was going to say, “…and in the role of John Carradine, Larry Vincent.” Such is the nature of his minimal part in The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant, a groundskeeper with a wild look in his eye and

Inspiration comes from the strangest places and, oftentimes, when under pressure. To think that had Arch Hall’s movie, The Choppers (1961), not needed a second feature to go with it for a distribution deal, and had Richard Kiel not turned down Hall’s idea for that second feature, Eegah! might never have been made! It was

Its title, Werewolf in a Girls’ Dormitory, does the movie no service, other than to place butts in car seats at the drive-in when it was released in 1961 (on a double bill with Corridors of Blood.) As David Del Valle notes in his commentary with actor Curt Lowens on the recent Severin Blu-ray release,

Known by several names, including Deliria and Bloody Bird, I watched StageFright: Aquarius (1987) on a terrific DVD edition from Blue Underground. The movie is significant for several reasons, all of which participants in the various bonus features, as well as authors of books I used to research, tend to agree. First, it was the

When I recently watched The Keep (1983), the biggest shock I felt was when Ian McKellan first appeared. “Oh, my gosh!” I thought. “He looks the same as he does now! How old is he?” I soon learned that he was wearing old-age makeup and when an evil force later touches him with a red,
