This weekend on Creature Features: Giant mutants

This weekend on Creature Features:

Giant mutants were a thing in the 50’s. Spawned by the nuclear age and ancient fables about beanstalks, there were more than a few celluloid tales told about taller-than-normal baddies. Our next show will be no exception as we present for your viewing pleasure, “War of The Colossal Beast” from 1958. This would be the unwarranted sequel to 1957’s “The Amazing Colossal Man” which, to our memory, we’ve never shown here on Creature Features. But we do that sometimes…show sequels without ever presenting the original. And no one seems to complain about it. That, or our Letters Department (when manned by Tangella), simply throws those complains in the trash.

Joining us to watch this fun-filled mutant-extravaganza will be Vince’s friend, Mindy. You might remember her from our last Halloween episode. She was the one on the roller skates. She’ll tell us about her dog training business and show us some of her creations made entirely by dryer lint. It should be quite interesting (insert obligatory air quotes here).

All this while Tangella gives Handrew a minor coronary, this Saturday night at 9PM Pacific Time at the YouTube link below, 10PM on KOFY TV20 and on demand at our Roku, AppleTV and FireTV channels. Don’t miss it!

This weekend on Creature Features: Some science

This weekend on Creature Features:

Some science fiction movies reach stellar heights in popularity. Star Wars and Alien to name just a few. Yet others never quite make the grade, fail to launch, perform a belly flop and hit the ground like a lead zeppelin. Of course when it comes to movies of these two types, we here at Creature Features tend to show the latter. And this week is no exception, for we’ll be showing “The Titan Find” from 1985. While this movie unsuccessfully attempted to ride on the coattails of the successful Alien franchise, it’s really not that bad of a film. A little dark and depressing at times, but space itself is always dark and depressing so an extra point goes to the producers for making something a bit more realistic.

And joining us to to watch this new wave-era gem will be the lovely Tracy Plummer, daughter of legendary actor, the late, great Christopher Plummer. She’ll tell us what it was like growing up with a horror legend as a father and provide some insight as to what he was really like when he wasn’t in front of a camera.

All this while Tangella interrupts Livingston’s work yet again, this Saturday night at 9PM Pacific Time at the YouTube link below, 10PM on KOFY TV20, on demand at our Roku, AppleTV and FireTV channels and at various times on a stellar selection of space-weary television stations nationwide. Don’t miss it!

This weekend on Creature Features:

You might recall a short time back when we had our former housemate, the lovely Tabitha Thomas on the show. Well before Tabitha moved in with us, her cousin Tiffany occupied the same quarters in the mansion. She decided to move away because, as she put it, “…the ghosts keep stealing my good shampoo.” We assumed it was Tangella, but she insists it wasn’t her. Fair enough since we can gather that ghosts haunt better when their hair is silky and manageable.

In any case, Tiffany will grace the guest chair this week as we watch Messiah of Evil from 1973. This is a fairly good movie that we showed quite some time ago. There’s a few lovely gory scenes, some confusing plot twists and an interesting scene in a supermarket. The latter will shock you most when you see some of the pricing of the food on the shelves. Eating on a budget was easier back then. So was making movies.

All this while Tangella demonstrates the proper form when using a wrist-rocket, this Saturday night at 9PM Pacific Time at the YouTube link below, 10PM on KOFY TV20, on demand at our Roku, AppleTV and FireTV channels and at various times on a mind-numbing selection of cult-like television stations nationwide. Don’t miss it!

This weekend on Creature Features: It’s not of

This weekend on Creature Features:

It’s not often we have the chance to make an episode like this: We show a movie and the star of that film is our guest. But we’ll be doing exactly that this Saturday night on Creature Features.

For joining us will be the lovely and talented Candace Hilligoss. You remember her as the poor young lady running-in-heels away from vengeful ghouls in between organ concerts from the cult-classic, “Carnival of Souls.” Well, she’ll be joining us again to watch the only other horror film she has ever graced, namely “The Curse of the Living Corpse” from 1964.

This not-so-shabby film is actually pretty good. It has a severed head. And Roy Scheider. And if you know anything about horror films, you know quite well that any film that has both Roy and dismembered body parts is going to be a big hit. Candace will tell us all about the making of this film as well as the true story about how Roy Scheider and his wife threw all of her silverware out her window whilst contending with their pet orangutan.

All this while Tangella demonstrates the proper form when using a wrist-rocket, this Saturday night at 9PM Pacific Time on KOFY TV20, the YouTube link below, our Roku, AppleTV and FireTV channels and on an undead selection of zombie-loving television stations nationwide. Don’t miss it!

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 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.

All this while Tangella helps Handrew repair the pipe organ, this Saturday night at 9PM Pacific Time on KOFY TV20, the YouTube link below, our Roku, AppleTV and FireTV channels and on a stellar selection of space-age television stations nationwide. Don’t miss it!
