Franky's back, baby!

According to FanGirlTastic Frankenstein will be getting a makeover by SONY Pictures. I'm guessing Universal is hoping that if Franky comes back as a contemporary teen stud who sparkles someone else can take the fall if it fails.

See Fangirltastic for details and speculation.

King Kong's remains

I'm pouty, but smiley about this: The original King Kong skeleton (used for stop-motion on the original 1933 film) just sold at a Christie's Auction for $218,000. I wish I could afford that!
I'm not normally a news poster, but I love my Kong!

The Evil of Poster Art

Here's a great movie poster from The Evil of Frankenstein.

I found it at the Hammer Films official website. Great source of material and entertainment. I want to see ALL the Hammer Films' monster movies!

This version of the monster looks like his head is made of a gallon milk container ;)

Salem's Loot

So, there I was watching Salem's Lot from 1978 with my ghoulfriends, when I was struck by this scene in which the constable has decided to skip town. Constable Parkins Gillespie is in the station wagon with his family heading to North Carolina. He's running from the vampires, because they're turning everyone in Salem's Lot.

Ben Mears played by David Soul of Starsky and Hutch fame tries to stop the constable unsuccessfully, but Gillespie has enough sympathy for Ben Mears' mission that he gets out of the family car, reaches into the OPEN WINDOW of his patrol car, and pulls a pistol out of the passenger seat. He gives it to Ben to use since he's staying in Salem's Lot.


Get the picture? The constable had every intention of leaving town with his patrol car window open for rain to get in and ruin the interior. Oh, and the pistol being left on the seat would be a safety issue, but what about the car interior??? Those vampires pay your salary through taxes, mister!

Chiller Theater returns! again.

Elvira is hosting this year's Chiller Theater.

WPIX is teasing us again with a comeback of Chiller Theater. Why, oh, why won't it stay for good? I liked it better when they did it all the time instead of just on Halloween.

Elvira will be hosting this year, and the movie will be The Evil of Frankenstein from 1964.

Here's WPIX's official announcement with all the details.

And for those interested in Bogey news outside of the entertainment realm, my good friend LilyBat is also a fan of Chiller Theater.

Format Change

Hi, Sweeties! I'm just posting to let you know I'm going to be changing my blog's format. As a monster, I am super-busy doing scary stuff, so it becomes difficult to take the time to give a quality review for all the monster movies and scary movies I watch.
So, I've decided to not necessarily always dedicate an entire post to only monster movie reviews. From now on, I want the freedom to share my love of the spooktastic and cheesy with you through simple comments, and maybe some pics. I'll still do some full-on reviews, but I want to go back to basics:
Eat some Goobers, watch some scary movies!

And, by the way, Happy Halloween!
