The Shark in Monster From the Ocean Floor
I got the final word on how they short the shark scenes in Monster From the Ocean Floor. It turns out that is not Anne Kimbell with the shark.
Anniversary Post: Rats: Night of Terror
On this day in 1984, the Italian horror film Rats: Night of Terror came out. Okay, it isn’t great. But it’s so much better than you’d think! A must see!
Anniversary Post: Vertigo
People think I hate Hitchcock. But I am his protector. And the fact that critics have decided that Vertigo is his best film shows they don’t appreciate him.
Anniversary Post: Monster From the Ocean Floor
Today in 1954, Monster From the Ocean Floor was released. It’s not a great film but the scene with the shark really needs to be seen. How did they do it?
Anniversary Post: Anthony Zerbe
Today is Anthony Zerbe’s 84th birthday. He’s a fine character actor who has been great psychotronic films most notably Omega Man. Also the Matrix sequels.
Anniversary Post: Attack of the 50 Foot Woman
On this day in 1958, one of my favorites, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, was released. It is different from similar 50s sci-fi in that it has heart.
Anniversary Post: Joseph Cotten
On this day back in 1905, Joseph Cotten was born. He was in some of the best films of the 20th century but also some real psychotronic gems.
Anniversary Post: Support Your Local Gunfighter
On this day in 1971, Support Your Local Gunfighter was first released. It isn’t as well-loved as its corresponding Sheriff film, but it’s actually better.
Anniversary Post: A Pistol for Ringo
On this day in 1965, A Pistol for Ringo was released. We talk about it and how people should watch more films by Duccio Tessari.
