This weekend on Creature Features: It will be a ni

This weekend on Creature Features: It will be a night of “the birds and the bees” when we broadcast our show from our home in Bodega Bay about some killer bees. But there will be no love and childbearing lessons because we shall instead serve a film from 1976 called “The Savage Bees.” While many of you won’t remember this one, it was one of the first films (that we can ascertain) which covered the rather-new topic at that time of Africanized or “killer” bees. And you can imagine this one put off quite a few Independence Day picnickers simply trying to enjoy the country’s bicentennial. Starring Michael Parks, Paul Hecht and Gretchen Corbett, this a fun film which, unlike most of the movies we show here, takes place primarily outside on sunny days. A bit of a departure from the “dark and stormy night” slop we typically serve.

Joining us, somewhat reluctantly, to watch this buzzingly good film will be our old friend and neighbor, actor Jon Provost. He’s the one that played Timmy on Lassie when he was a kid. He also did a bunch of other cool movies and television appearances, but no one ever wants to talk about that. They just want to know the story about how he was dumb enough to fall into a well.

This weekend on Creature Features: Hollywood of th

This weekend on Creature Features: Hollywood of the 1970s seemed obsessed with two topics: satan and animals on the attack. Our film this weekend covers both: “Devil Dog: The Hound of Hell” from 1978. Yet another film where the wonderful German Shepherd breed gets an undeserved bad rap and the satanists aren’t made to look very good either. There’s some familiar faces in this one - you’ll recognize Richard Crenna before he became Rambo’s commander. You’ll also spot a young Kim Richards after she left Nanny and The Professor but before she became a Beverly Hills socialite who punches out cops after she’s had a few too many.

Joining us to watch this devilish dog-film will be our old friend, comic artist Tom Beland. He’ll have a lot to say about the film. Most of it will be hilarious.

This weekend on Creature Features: “The Ghost in

This weekend on Creature Features: “The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini” from 1966. We probably should have saved this one for summer instead of rainy November, but most of it takes place indoors, so it’s probably OK. Originally titled “The Girl in the Glass Bikini” and slated to star Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon, this film soon morphed into “Pajama Party in a Haunted House” until it was renamed to its final title. We’d have to say the two biggest stars in this one are Boris Karloff and Basil Rathbone, but they didn’t receive much prominence on the credits compared to Tommy Kirk, Deborah Walley, Nancy Sinatra and Aron Kincaid. Even Susan Hart, who plays the titular ghost doesn’t get much love in the credits. In any case, it’s a fun film we think you’ll like and it won’t frighten even the smallest kids. But don’t force your teenagers to watch it because they’ll think it’s stupid.

No guest scheduled, so you can expect the usual slop we serve on those shows where we have no company.

All this while Tangella bloodies Handrew’s face, 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: Last week we pr

This weekend on Creature Features: Last week we presented “The Creeping Flesh” - an absolutely wonderful film for which we are still receiving accolades. This week we are showing “The Creeping Terror.” Instead of compliments, we expect to to receive hate-mail laced with cursing. But that’s ok…you have to show a few duds to make the good movies look even better. And as far as bad movies go, this one is good. It’s really bad, so if you like bad movies you’ll find it to be really good. Or something like that.

Joining us to watch this cinematic train-wreck will be our old friend, Lance Ozanix. Front man for the band Skitzo, though he’s actually better known for his frequent appearances on the Jerry Springer Show and on Judge Judy. We’ll explain why when we get there.

This weekend on Creature Features: There’s quite

This weekend on Creature Features: There’s quite a bit happening that you will not want to miss - firstly, this will be the premiere episode of our sixth year. As Livingston puts it, “We are all completely baffled that the programme has lasted this long. It should have been cancelled by the third episode.” And while that may or may not be accurate, it is a testament to the wonderful viewers who have kept us going this long. As with most of our season premieres, you can expect to see a few fun changes. We truly hope you’ll like them!

As our seasons always begin near Halloween (our first episode aired on October 29th, 2016), this year our show is lucky to land on Halloween Eve. And while some of our viewers might be off to a party in costume that night, we know many of them, particularly our youngest ones, will be saving their energy for the actual holiday date. Celebrate the night before with your friends here at the Poulter Mansion! Tangella is spending all this week carving pumpkins and decorating the parlor for Saturday’s broadcast. And we might have a surprise visitor or two.

Being that it’s Halloween, we had to pick an appropriate film and this one is fabulous: The Creeping Flesh from 1973 starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. It has all of the classic elements you’d expect from a British horror film set in Victorian times. It is a nicely done and tasteful film you won’t regret letting the little ones watch.

All this while Tangella crosses Handrew’s path with a banana peel, 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: Those of you wh

This weekend on Creature Features: Those of you who were around in the 1970s know it was a truly unusual time. It woefully lacked the groovy vibe of the 60’s and definitely didn’t have the tech-hipness of the 80’s. But what it lacked from the eras for which it was flanked, it made up for with its own unique elements of style. While often derived for unleashing upon the world such vile hallmarks as “disco” and petrol shortages, the 1970’s did give us the incredible Star Wars and the delightful Farrah Fawcett.

Where this weekend’s movie falls within that spectrum is entirely up to you.

We’ll be presenting “The People” from 1972. It’s hard to tell you much about this film without spoiling it. But here’s a few interesting facts: it was filmed on the west end of Marin County, only a mere 24 miles from The Poulter Mansion in Bodega Bay. It was executive-produced by Francis Ford Coppola, who was too busy finishing The Godfather at the time to direct this one himself. It stars Kim Darby, who you might remember as the stubborn teenager in True Grit. And has what one can only describe as a cameo-plus appearance by William Shatner, who incidentally was again invited to come onto the show as a guest and again ungraciously declined Vincent’s most generous offer. Something silly about having to go into space. Right.

All this while Tangella flashes everyone, 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: Our viewer frie

This weekend on Creature Features: Our viewer friends that enjoy our program on YouTube are likely quite familiar with the wonderful Spooky Boo. She’s been kind enough to be our Chat Forum Nanny for the past several years. But what’s she’s really famous for is her spectacular storytelling on her fabulous podcasts that comprise Spooky Boo’s Scary Story Time, Creepypasta and True Scary Stories. And with this being the Halloween season, we couldn’t think of a better guest than our favorite distributor of spooky tales. She’ll chime in on the night’s movie, tell us some dreadful tales and let us know what she’s up to for Halloween.

And speaking of scary, our movie should do the job nicely for we’ll be presenting “Demon Witch Child” from 1975. There’s so much wrong with this movie that we can’t begin to list it here. Those of you who like disturbing horror films will probably like it. But you might want to let the little kids sit this one out. Hopefully, someone is running “It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” on another station.

All this while Tangella gives Handrew the bug eyes, 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!

Mr. Livingston has been continuously reminding Vincent that the manor needs repainting. Handrew agrees and has been requesting quotes. But Vincent likes it the way it is stating, “It serves to keep door-to-door salesman away as it makes us look like we’re broke.” Tangella wants to keep it as it is simply because, as she puts it, “The creepier the better.” What do you think?

This weekend on Creature Features: Those of you wh

This weekend on Creature Features: Those of you who watch the show on the regular know that there’s not much we can do to keep Tangella nearby for the entire program. But one sure-fire method we employ is to invite over a guest that brings a collection of furry creatures. And that’s exactly what we’re doing this weekend. We’ll be joined by the wonderful Bonnie Cromwell from Classroom Safari. She’ll share with us a portion of her delightful menagerie and will even teach Tangella how to properly feed a sloth.

And between the Wild Kingdom segments, we’ll be watching “Deathdream” (formerly titled “Dead of Night”) from 1974. The story revolves around a soldier named Andy who was lost at war and mysteriously returns to his family’s home. At first, everything is great but then things start going bad and you’ll be left wondering if Andy is a zombie, a vampire or simply some poor actor hoping he’ll be moving on to do better things.

All this while Tangella puts all her eggs into one basket, 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: Nightmares can

This weekend on Creature Features: Nightmares can be serious business. Especially when you have to retell your worst to a group of men sipping aperitifs whilst locked in a luxurious basement. This weekend we’ll be watching “The Vault of Horror” from 1973, based on the comic book of the same name. Starring Tom Baker and Terry-Thomas, it packs that wonderful stuffy-British-horror motif we’ve all come to know and love.

Joining us to watch this fun film will be a surprise guest. Surprise, meaning that as of this writing, the guest has not fully committed to coming up to do the show so the surprise will likely be that there will be no guest at all.

All this while Tangella clocks Handrew, 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: We have a great

This weekend on Creature Features: We have a great ghost story for you this weekend: “Don’t Go To Sleep” from 1982. This stars Valerie Harper and Dennis Weaver. We know - it sounds like a really bad TV movie of the week but we think you’ll enjoy it. It also stars the wonderfully brash Ruth Gordon and Oliver Robins. You’ll remember the latter from “Poltergeist” who had issues with the tree outside his window. Talk about a kid who knows ghosts…

Joining us as our guest will be our old friend Jackie Kong. When she’s not creating fun horror movies like “Blood Diner” she likes to visit the Poulter Mansion and watch a crummy movie with us. She’ll tell us about her exciting new project and bring a bit of fashion to our guest chair.

All this while Tangella broadens her musical horizons, 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: If you’ve eve

This weekend on Creature Features: If you’ve ever seen any type of mummy movie, you’ve probably learned that it’s not good to mess around with ancient Egyptian artifacts. Well, this weekend we shall learn that hard lesson once again as we present for you “The Cat Creature” from 1973. Starring a young Meredith Baxter, an older Gale Sondergaard and an always-ancient John Carradine, this spooky tale revolves around the cat goddess Bastet and why you would be wise not to cross her path.

Joining us to watch this fun film from the seventies will be the lovely ladies from The Redwood Witchery - an emporium of potions and other items used in the magical arts. This place is not too far from the mansion and Tangella spends a goodly amount of time (and money) there. They’ll tell us what it is like to be a practicing witch and they’ll chime in about our movie.

This weekend on Creature Features: If you were eve

This weekend on Creature Features: If you were ever a child and you had access to a television, you’d likely recall watching Japanese King Kong movies on Saturday afternoon matinee monster movie shows. And one of the best in that category of films was “King Kong Escapes.” Our guest this weekend will be the wonderful star of that movie, Ms. Linda Miller. She’ll tell us about how she was chosen for that role, what it was like portraying Susan Watson and about that time she was on My Three Sons.

Movie-wise, we’ll be screening “The Crawling Eye” from 1958. This is pretty good film we last showed a few years ago. Originally titled “The Trollenberg Terror”, this one stars Forrest Tucker, Laurence Payne and Jennifer Jayne. It a good movie that shows that there are things on the Swiss Alps far more terrifying than yodelers.

This weekend on Creature Features: Having a taglin

This weekend on Creature Features: Having a tagline that goes “The Maddest Story Ever Told”, you’d think it was a film about an insane asylum. And perhaps it actually is. But we call it “The Funnest Horror Film Ever Made” and we’ll be screening it this weekend. With creator Jack Hill’s blessing, no less. Starring Lon Chaney Jr., Carol Ohmart, Sid Haig, Jill Banner, Mantan Moreland and Quinn Redeker; this is a fabulously fun film about a psychotic family living in a creepy house. Sound familiar?

Oh…and we forgot to mention one of the main stars in the list above: Ms. Beverly Washburn. That’s because not only does she have a primary role in Spider Baby but she will also be our special guest for the evening. She’ll tell us how the film was made, how she won the part of Elizabeth and what Lon Chaney and Sid Haig are really like in person.

All this while Tangella casts a canned spell on Handrew, 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!
