Dawn of the Dead / The Mist / The Ring
Dawn of the Dead (2004) - Running zombies are the worst kind of zombie. Slow motion shell casing droppings are the worst kind of repeated imagery.
The Mist - The real monsters are not of the unknown, but the ones staring you in the face everyday.
The Ring - It's a conundrum... a vicious circle... an Ouroboros ( Read more... ) -
The Blob
The Blob (1988) - Watch it wiggle, see it jiggle. It's not Jello! It's an early beginning for many young actors who have made it big today... Kevin Dillon, Shawnee Smith, Bill Moseley. Who we kidding, they helped the men "from Glad to show us how to keep our food fresh."

Pumpkinhead / Slither
Pumpkinhead - Sing it, Jerry Only... "Keep away from Pumpkinhead unless you're tired of living..."
Slither - Sing it, Graham Russell - "Girl, you're every woman in the world to me..."

A Company of Wolves
A Company of Wolves - Snoozefest... not really, but unfortunately, I fell asleep about 45 minutes into it. It wasn't bad... not much of a creature film as it's about a girl's journey to womanhood and facing sexual predators... metaphorically speaking. I like this version better. You smell so good. Yes, she does does.

C.H.U.D.
C.H.U.D. - "Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller," or "Contamination Hazard Urban Disposal," or "Cinematic Happenings Under Development," or "Creatures Have Ugly Disposition," or "Critics Hate Uncharacteristic Destitutes." Now you play along at home.

Cloverfield / Alien
Cloverfield - Misunderstood giant baby monster running amok in New York City. I felt that way when I visited NYC, but I didn't go and destroy buildings while I was there... shedding my parasites... guilty.
Alien - Misunderstood baby monster looking to communicate with the crew of the Nostromo about its over-night growth spurt by inserting its ( Read more... ) -
Phantasm II
Phantasm II - Just when you thought the dream was over... NO, IT'S NOT! The Jawas, The Tall Man, and his oversized killer Ben Wa Balls are back for another installment of mortuary shenanigans.

John Carpenter's The Thing
The Thing - To make up for last night's dismal entry, I needed to watch a superior creature film that was ripe with paranoia and orgasmic in effects.

The Mangler
The Mangler - More like the Mangled. Loosely based on a Stephen King short story that I recently read. When possessed industrial laundry presses kill! My scheduled movie for the night was damaged and had to be returned. An awful substitution.
