Crazy times in real-life, ups and downs, but I have a movie in sight for review and it’s going to be a doozy! 🙂 thanks for everybody’s patience Hi everybody, Just thought I’d pass on a message from Joe Badon regarding his KickStarter project: The Man With Ten Thousand Eyes! Looks pretty cool 🙂 “Hey! It’s Joe Badon again! I have a new comic book kickstarter project entitled THE MAN WITH TEN THOUSAND EYES! It’s a Surrealist, Sci Fi, Horror one […] Killdozer (1974) Here’s a classic, campy made-for-TV flick from the glorious 70’s: Killdozer. 6 construction workers are trapped on an island along with a possessed bulldozer. Ahhhh, they just don’t make them like they used to. Written by Theodore Sturgen, Ed MacKillop Directed by Jerry London Run Time: 73 minutes Any movie involving killer construction equipment must open in outer space, naturally, and this movie is no exception. It just makes sense, right? Scary music plays while a blue styrofoam asteroid hurtles towards Earth. Again, it […] Just wanted to let my legion of fans out there, all 4 or 5 of you, that I’m still here and the Monster Shack is still alive and well. I’ve been really busy this summer with…well…I’ll spare you the details, but it’s leaving very little time for reviewing movies, unfortunately. I’m hoping things loosen up […] Got dropped a line from a band called “The Landlines” out of Hudson, NY…and oh, what a small world we all live in.

PUGASARI INVADES BROOKLYN! I recently plucked up my courage, gathered my travel papers, and left Manhattan for Brooklyn, located on fabled Long Island, which lies just off […] Be sure to pop over to Sean’s blog and read his not-so-objective review of “Jupiter Ascending”…The next Hollywood smash “hit” to the theaters. I haven’t personally seen it yet, because I’m an old grouch that waits for everything to come to Netflix…so until then I’ll just have to trust him 🙂 Jupiter Ascending […] Octaman(1971) After a long winter hibernation, the Monster Shack staff are back to work and producing high-quality reviews! Spirits are high! Huzzah! Octaman is a dreary tale of a half-man, half—–yeah, you guessed it. A great suit almost saves the movie, but it’s still a long haul if you’re not used to these kinds […] Written and Directed by Harry Essex Run Time: 76 minutes 25 Words or Less: Sequences of boring talky scenes interspersed with a pissed off octopus-man flailing at people with flaccid rubber tentacles. The Cast […] Sharknado 2 is available on NetFlix! Repeat: Sharknado 2 is available on NetFlix! I’m trying to fill in the gaps between the longer reviews with little tidbits of funny stuff I find on YouTube. Now, I’m not big fan of simply posting links, and not everybody wants to sit and watch an entire YouTube video, BUT, it’s better than nothing and I promise to only link to videos […] Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe (1990) Abraxas, an aging, 10,000 year old Cyborg cop from the planet Sadacious battles it out with his renegade partner, Secundus, who is out to steal the Anti-Life Equation from the Comater’s brain.

Ha ha, well, “enjoy” in the Monster Shack sort of way… Directed by W. Lee Wilder Written by William Raynor, Myles Wilder In a nutshell: A radioactive alien menaces Santa Monica…but oh, it’s invisible, so don’t get too excited. Run Time: 73 minutes Tagline: “His secret power menaced the world!” Classic Quote: Dr. Wyatt : My theory is that […] The Sacrifice (1986) Sean strikes again with another great review, what would we do without him? The Monster Shack puts on its best soiled T-shirt and goes to film school! There it encounters a beloved classic of high-brow European gloom.

Alexander – Erland Josephson Adelaide – Susan Fleetwood Otto – Allan Edwall Victor – Sven Wollter Maria – Guorun Gisladottir PROLOGUE I’m about to do something very, very bad. So bad, in fact, it may be blasphemous. I’m […] |
 A Quiet Place You better keep quiet if you don't want to be eaten by slimy monters...actually, the movie is a lot better than it sounds.  Godzilla - City on the Edge of Battle Sean steps in again with a detailed dissection of the latest animated Godzilla feature...No stone is left unturned in this one...  Strays Beware the cats! No, not giant cats, or rabid cats, or anything cats...just cats. Sounds pretty bad, doesn't it? Well, you won't be disappointed.  The Cloverfield Paradox In league with Arch Super Villain J.J. Abrams it has released a movie that’s just like an old plastic model kit. They kindly open the box, dump the pieces over our head and say, “Here, you build it.” What fun!  Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters Guest reviewer Grumpy McFaultfinder pulls this one apart...and what he finds isn't pretty....  Frogs A low-budget eco-thriller starring multitudes of bored toads and the other standard creepy-crawlies. Can humanity survive the slimy onslaught?  Devil Dog: The Hound of Hell A cute puppy has a horrible secret...  The Dragon's Challenge Spider-Man is back in this funny little 1970's TV Movie...Good stuff!  In the Year 2889 Mutants, booze, rednecks, and the list goes on. I salute you, brave Karl, for actually getting through this one!  Shin Godzilla Thanks to Sean for this great capsule review. A modern take on a legendary story.  The Star Wars Holiday Special No. I'm not making this up. It's a totally bizarre made-for-TV variety special made during the Star Wars heydays of the late 70's. Trust me, you'll never be the same after checking this one out.  Top 5 Incompetent Invasions Due to incompetence, poor planning, or just being plain stupid, these creatures met more than their match after setting foot on good old Mother Earth. Nice try, guys!  Mega Shark vs Mecha Shark Megalodon vs a giant robot shark with crappy AI? Would could possibly go wrong?  Killdozer It's big, it's yellow, and it's damn good at digging...Yes, it's Killdozer, the possessed bulldozer. No, seriously.  Pulgasari Kaiju madness returns to The Monster Shack as Guest Foreign Correspondent Sean Ledden reports from Brooklyn, where the strangely sympathetic progeny of a creepy Asian dictator gets a public showing.  Octaman After a series of atomic tests off the coast of Mexico (huh?!), mutant octopi begin showing up and freakin' out the local fishermen...Octaman, the grand-daddy of them all, stomps around, steals women, and makes a nuisance of himself in this obscure 1970's sci-fi flick.  Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe See Jesse "The Bod" Ventura as Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe! Will he be able to stop Secundas from ripping the Anti-Life Equation from the Comater's brain? Read on and see!  Phantom from Space An invisible alien crash lands on Earth, walks around, loses his helmet and then dies. Wow, that was exciting.  The Sacrifice Sean Ledden strikes again! The Monster Shack puts on its best soiled T-shirt and goes to film school! There it encounters a beloved classic of high-brow European gloom. It's a deeply felt, and deeply terrible look at one man's psychological breakdown, I mean religious awakening. Watching it just might inspire something similar in you. Be warned!  Machine Head Take 2 parts Re-Animator and 1 part small engine repair and what do you get? Machine Head.  Godzilla Sean Ledden examines this clunker and the results aren't pretty...  The X from Outer Space I never new that "X" is Japanese for goofy space chicken...  Sharknado If you love sharks, and if you love tornadoes, then is this movie for you!  The Incredible Melting Man Steve the astronaut gets too close to Saturn and returns to Earth with horrible skin problems and a huge chip on his shoulder! |
