Clip of The Week: The 10 Greatest Sounds From Star Wars

The vault kinda stuck last night but I was finally able to pry it open this movie and this is what tumbled out. Hope you enjoy and don't forget about The Brood and Gigantis The Fire Monster at the drive-in!

Watch the skies!

Previews: The Brood and Gigantis The Fire Monster

I'm looking forward to this weekend's features. The first one I haven't seen and the second I'm looking forward to watching again.

1979 saw the release of "The Brood". It stars Oliver Reed, Samantha Eggar, and Art Hindle. I guess she gives birth to some mutant kids and they act of her negative thoughts. They share a psychic bond. And it all sounds creepy! Sounds like it should be a good one. Here's the trailer...



Gigantis The Fire Monster is the American names for Godzilla Raids Again. This is considered the second in the Godzilla series and came out in 1955. Godzilla dukes it out with Anguirus is his first monster on monster tussle! The original plans were were to take all the monster footage and throw out out all of the Japanese actors and make a new movie called The Volcano Monsters. This didn't happen and the American suits decided to change the name to Gigantis to fool the audience into thinking they were seeing a new monster. We knew better....silly corporate movie people! Here's a short collection of trailers for the movie:

This Weekend's (5/9) Creature Double Feature Drive-In Movies!

Greetings Ghoulies! Hope you were able to get out and enjoy the nice weather this past weekend! I did and had time to sink my teeth into our vampire features. Really enjoyed Near Dark and Dracula vs. Frankenstein was fun but tough to watch poor Lon Cheney.

Judging from the posters to my right here, they went crazy with the red! Two more great features for the weekend!

First up Oliver Reed and Samantha Eggar fend off "The Brood"! When Samantha gives birth to mutated children, what secrets do they hold? Can they be stopped?

Then, rising once more from Tokyo Bay, Godzi....Urrrr...Gigantis The Fire Monster! Confused? I'll explain all tomorrow with the sneak peeks. Just know some giant monsters are tearing up Japan so it can't be that bad!

See you tomorrow! Till then, Watch the skies!

Clip of The Week: Some Days You Just Can't Rid of A Bomb...

Our clip of the week comes from The Batman movie from 1966 and features Adam West as Batman trying to get rid of a bomb. Great fun from an awesome show and movie!



Se you tomorrow night for this week's Creature Double Feature!

This week's previews!

It's a double dose of trailer goodness this evening! The weather is calling some rain this weekend. It should make some gloomy, atmospheric viewing for our bloodsuckers out there!

First, we have Near Dark. This came out in October 1987 and didn't seem to generate much buzz. Maybe The Lost Boys came out around the same time, and stole some thunder from it. Will have to check the dates on that! Anyone? This is a smart vampire film as I believe they never actually mention the word vampire. It stars Adrian Pasdar and also features early appearances on film by Bill Paxton and Iggy Pop! It's become a cult hit over the years, and I love me the cult classics! Here's the trailer...



From there, we will shifting to a movie I know hardly anything about, 1971's Dracula vs. Frankenstein. It's a low budget Grindhouse-like film. For those that are unfamiliar with the term; In the 70's there were a lot of movie houses that ran all night low budget horror movie marathons. They usually had some nudity and lots of gore. And they called these houses Grindhouses because they "grinded" out the films one after another. They always seemed to be in the seedier parts of town and god knows what went on there! Anyway, this featured Lon Cheney Jr. in his last role, as his addiction to alcohol had pretty much ran it's course by then. I was curious in this flick as it was on the list of films that originally ran on Creature Double Feature. My mind doesn't recall it but we'll see if it sparks anything when viewed...



I love the tone of this week's Creature Double Feature. I hope to see you there! Until then, watch the skies!

This Weekend's (5/2) Creature Double Feature Drive-In Movies!

Greetings Groovy Ghoulies! A day late and a dollar short but "fangs" for staying around! The drive-in is featuring two doozies this weekend! Texas Chainsaw and Horror of Dracula were great and I hope you will enjoy these two too! We will be celebrating MORE vampires in different flicks.

First, Adrian Pasdar of Heroes fame is bitten by a pretty drifter and soon finds himself caught up among them! Can he break the curse before him? Find out in Near Dark!

Pure Grindhouse and monster battle royal fun after that! A descendant of Dr. Frankenstein hopes to revive the monster in 1971! The good count Dracula arrives and the body count soars! Could anything contain these two titans? Have you seen the movie poster above? Dracula vs. Frankenstein is placing bets now!

Check back for the previews tomorrow! Until then, watch the skies!

Clip of The Week: Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi

Happy Friday Groovy Ghoulies!

The sun is shining and it looks like it's going to be a great weekend in upstate NY. I opened up the vault to see what they had for the clip of the week, and this is what popped out! Tim Burton made a movie about the life of B Movie director Ed Wood. It starred Johnny Depp and Martin Landau.

Here's a clip from the movie where Bela is supposed to fight a mechanical octopus while filming Bride of The Monster. Things don't go exactly as planned. Enjoy the scene and I hope to see you all for Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Horror of Dracula tomorrow!
