The Creeping Terror, 1964
From Metropolitan International…Starring “Vic Savage” and Shannon O’Neil…Produced and Directed by A.J. Nelson (aka Vic Savage, which is also not a real name)…for today’s B-movie feature, I bring you “The Creeping Terror”, released in 1964! The film opens at night, POV through the windshield of a driving car, and we can hardly see anything except whatever the headlights hit. Then, like

Monster A-Go Go, 1965
Okay, so I have to say, right off the top, A LOT about this film—the kinds of filmmaking errors made, the convoluted plot, and especially the scriptwriting—totally remind me of the collected works of Edward D. Wood Jr. Directors Bill Rebane and later Hershell Gordon Lewis (uncredited—he’s the guy who pieced the footage Rebane got before running out of money

Hoping he will transport her; Hoping he will transform her!” Just watched SPACE ZOMBIES 13 MONTHS OF BRAIN-SPINNING
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Holiday Season, and 2022
May the remainder of your 2021 be wondrous, and your New Year bright with possibilities… I am taking the remainder of the year, as well as January 2022, off from social media and posting in general (for the most part). Like our groundhog, Wiarton Willy, I will emerge again in February, just in time for my birthday and Candlemas Eve!

At last, I’ve seen “The Abominable Dr. Phibes”
Okay…so I’m really late to the table with this one. For whatever reason, I was avoiding it…even though it starred Vincent Price…even though it was an American International “higher budget” film…even though everyone who loves this sort of thing has been raving about it ever since it first came out in 1971…even though it’s a HORROR COMEDY for f&%k sake…
