Be sure to break out the plastic bibs and seafood-cracking utensils as we unleash “Island Claws” from 1980. On initial glance, this didn’t seem like a very good movie. But after a closer look, we loved this gem and hope you will too. Staring Jo McDonnell and Robert Lansing, with Nita Talbot bringing her magic to the ensemble; this is a fun film about a biological experiment on crabs that goes awry.
Joining us to watch this movie about decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura will be our old friend, mask-maker Bart Frescura. He’ll show us some of his wonderful creations, tell us the process involved in making these realistic monster masks and give us some inside-information about our film.
All this while Handrew and Mrs. O’Connor (attempt to) wrangle Tangella, Saturday night at 9PM Pacific on YouTube at the enclosed link and on-demand at CreatureFeaturesTV.com. Don’t miss it!
