This weekend on Creature Features: What do Ed Be

This weekend on Creature Features:

What do Ed Begley Jr. from “Best in Show” and Patrick McNee from “The Avengers” have in common? Besides both being really swell guys they also starred together in our next feature: “Dead of Night” from 1977.

This is a wonderful TV-movie created by Dan Curtis who was the brainchild of the fabulous “Trilogy of Terror” movie. You remember that one - with the doll that comes to life and chases some poor woman around her flat as it slashes at her ankles with a steak knife. Written by the world-famous Richard Matheson, this is a fun film comprised of three stories with the penultimate tale being “Bobby” about some poor dead kid burdened with having to contend with the afterlife following his mother’s dabbling in black magic.

Joining us to watch this fantastic movie will be Joe The Bomb-Builder. We’re not entirely sure what exactly is the background on this guy. But Tangella personally invited him so it should be somewhat rather interesting.

This weekend on Creature Features: If you were t

This weekend on Creature Features:

If you were to spend any amount of time at the Poulter Mansion, you’d soon learn that when Tangella arrives home from an errand with a soiled frock, it is more than likely that there is now yet another disentombed body part in the household and dirt scattered about the floor of the foyer. This is traditionally followed by a telephone call from a perturbed groundskeeper at one of the many cemeteries in the area followed by a bench warrant hastily issued from the local magistrate.

But not this weekend. For we’ll be joined by the wonderful Constance Smith, a graveyard docent from the nearby city of Santa Rosa who will enlighten us, and particularly Tangella, about the appropriate manner in which to visit a cemetery and pay proper respect to its quiet denizens. She’ll also tell us about the tours she conducts at the world-famous Alcatraz Island in the San Francisco Bay, telling us stories about the many escapes that actually happened on The Rock.

Between chatting about prisoner merrymaking we’ll enjoy a film about criminal hijacking, namely “The Hitch-Hiker” from 1953. While not the typical horror film we customarily put forward, this thriller is a tale about two poor men who come across the wrong fellow with his thumb out. Loosely based on the true story of the Billy Cook murder spree, this classic film-noir gem will be a welcome departure from our usual servings of bug-eyed monsters.

This weekend on Creature Features: Vince often ref

This weekend on Creature Features: Vince often refers to that large contingency of viewers who understandably fall asleep during our broadcast as “dozers.” Little does he know that this is the short-form version of the word “bulldozer.” The fact that this term has evaded him is particularly curious given that he actually owns one of these pieces of heavy-equipment as part of the arsenal of vehicles used to keep the Poulter Mansion Estate in order.

But were this useful soil-moving tool of Vince’s to become possessed by an alien force or, God forbid, driven by Tangella; it would then become something called a Killdozer, which happens to be the title of our next feature.

Starring Clint Walker, Robert Urich and Carl Betz, “Killdozer!” was one of many films that graced the small screen in the 70’s who’s title included an exclamation mark to clarify that it was a movie name and not simply a single-word statement. It’s based on a 1944 novella by Theodore Stugeon that revolves around an alien who decides to possess a bulldozer and inadvertently goes postal on the poor men trying to build an airstrip on a remote island. We have no doubt the book was better. That said, it’s still a fun movie and we think you’ll enjoy it immensely.

This weekend on Creature Features: It shall be a

This weekend on Creature Features:

It shall be another night of homicidal zombies as we bring you “Tombs of the Blind Dead” from 1972. This is one of those incredible European horror films with the bad English dubbing. TV Guide called it "a slow and lackadaisically-plotted thirsty-corpse movie distinguished by terrific music and locations, and genuinely eerie zombies.” While we won’t entirely dismiss TV Guide’s assessment, we should also remind you that this is the same publication that gave “The Love Boat” high praise.

And joining us to watch this slow and lackadaisically-plotted thirsty-corpse movie will be the lovely actress Colleen Morris. If you remember the delightful film “Prehysteria” from 1993, you’ll surely recall the glamorous Vicky as well. She’ll tell us what it was like doing that film, share stories from some of the other films and television shows she has graced and give us her take on our feature.

All this while Tangella behaves herself, this Saturday night at 9PM Pacific Time on KOFY TV20, the YouTube link below, our Roku, AppleTV and FireTV channels and on a slow selection of lackadaisically-plotted television stations nationwide. Don’t miss it!

This weekend on Creature Features:

What do you get when you take three child actors, dress and make them up as alien adults and surround them with cruel military-types who want to use them for experimentation? Why, you get “Wavelength” from 1983. Add actors Richard Carradine and Keenan Wynn to the mix and what you end up with is something that plays off like a low-budget Disney film. But despite this odd blend of ingredients, this is a fun movie we think you’ll enjoy. And while it’s not Close Encounters or Starman, you’ll leave this one feeling that you’ve sampled a little taste of both.

This weekend on Creature Features: You can never

This weekend on Creature Features:

You can never go wrong with this film. And it still manages to be spooky after all of these years. This week we’ll be serving a very nice copy of “Night of The Living Dead.” You’ve probably never seen it so good. Think of it as a George Lucas remaster where Han still shot first. Make sure the children catch it too. They’ll love it.

And joining us for the Mount Everest of zombie flicks will be our friends Michael and Jessica from The Grimm Life Collective. If you don’t know about these two, go find them on YouTube. They are the epitomes travel guides of creepy destinations. They’ll tell us about their adventures at the Evans City Cemetery where NOTLD was filmed as well as other excursions they’ve embarked upon to movie and murder locations both far and wide.

All this while Tangella has an axe to grind, this Saturday night at 9PM Pacific Time on KOFY TV20, the YouTube link below, our Roku, AppleTV and FireTV channels and on a zombified selection of undead television stations nationwide. Don’t miss it!

This weekend on Creature Features: We’ve alway

This weekend on Creature Features:

We’ve always like Russian space movies and maybe you have too. And if you did, you might just really like this one: The Grand Space Journey from 1975. It’s a kid’s movie. But not like a little-kid movie. More like a Soviet sci-fi version of Harry Potter, if you can pardon poorly-structured and off-the-mark analogies. In any case, we have a great copy of this fun movie and if you can handle reading a few subtitles, you’ll like it. And if you understand Russian, you’ll probably love it.

Joining us for this Soviet-era treat will be our old friend, C. Andrew Nelson. You might not recognize his face because it’s usually covered with a Darth Vader mask. When he was with LucasFilm, he appeared as our favorite space villain more times than David Prowse did. He’ll tell us what it’s like simulating bronchitis from inside a heavy costume and share with us some tales from his days working under the iron fist of George himself.

All this while Tangella again dabbles in voodoo, this Saturday night at 9PM Pacific Time on KOFY TV20, the YouTube link below, our Roku, AppleTV and FireTV channels and on an interstellar-sized selection of cosmic television stations nationwide. Don’t miss it!

This weekend on Creature Features: We haven’t

This weekend on Creature Features:

We haven’t many swamps in California. That would require a decent amount of precipitation which we have little of as well. Not too many lagoons here either, let alone black ones. However what we lack in swamps and rain, we make up for in beaches and ocean. So while a creature from a lagoon that is black wouldn’t survive long here, likely succumbing to a really bad case of chapped lips, a monster suitably adapted to the state’s arid climate could do rather well. And that’s what we’ll be serving up this weekend:

The Monster of Piedras Blancas.
If you have not yet seen this movie, you might be raising your eyebrows a bit at the title. We understand as we did as well. However, this is a really a nice picture. Beautifully filmed, competently acted and a nice departure from the other low-budget disasters that came out in 1959. We think you’ll like this one. If not, we’re sure you’ll enjoy seeing more of Tangella, Livingston and Handrew as we forgot to book a guest for the evening.

This weekend on Creature Features: It’s been a

This weekend on Creature Features:

It’s been a couple of years since we’ve shown this one, so here we go again: The Manster from 1959. This is the sad tale of a man who is unwittingly injected with a mad scientist’s concoction that causes him to grow a twin bother off of his right shoulder. We know - weird. But it’s a good movie, has that fifties monster-vibe and also has that Godzilla-movie spirit since it is set in Japan.

Joining us to watch this one will be our friends from the Planet 8 podcast: Bob Johnson and Larry Kakos. They’ll chat us up about this film and others and tell us about some fun events they have coming up for the summer.

All this while Tangella gets in over her head with octopi, this Saturday night at 9PM Pacific Time on KOFY TV20, the YouTube link below, our Roku, AppleTV and FireTV channels and on a gruesome selection of monstrous television stations nationwide. Don’t miss it!

This weekend on Creature Features: Another cold

This weekend on Creature Features:

Another cold war/space race film from the 50’s. Only this one stars Dick Miller and Richard Devon and isn’t half bad. “War of the Satellites” from 1958 will be our glorious movie this weekend. The fact that Roger Corman directed it should give you some inkling as to the dedication and craftsmanship that went into building this film.

And joining us from one of the dankest cemeteries in Vallejo, California will be our old friend, The Undertaker. Despite being in a somewhat grim profession, this grave-digging gentleman will bring both mirth and merriment to our film and tell us about upcoming spooky events in which he’ll be appearing.

All this while Tangella goes all Freddy Krueger, this Saturday night at 9PM Pacific Time on KOFY TV20, the YouTube link below, our Roku, AppleTV and FireTV channels and on an orbiting selection of space-age television stations nationwide. Don’t miss it!
