Creature Features

Discussing movie monsters and the films that they feature in.

The Titan of Stop Motion

He destroyed major monuments from all over the world, brought dinosaurs, myths, and monsters to life for millions to be regaled by. He's the driving factor in a lot of our love for creatures. He is Ray Harryhausen, the titan of stop motion. We countdown our 10 personal favorites from this man who's body of work is as titanic as his creations.

Dog Soldiers

This movie began my fandom of Neil Marshall's films. Soldiers, werewolves, and a siege story - what's not to love!

The Thing from Another World

Before John Carpenter adapted Who Goes There into The Thing, Howard Hawks gave us this amazing adaptation that takes a very different approach.

Harry and the Hendersons

A classic staple for kids in the 80s and early 90s. Join us as we delve into this film with top notch actors, amazing effects, and a depth of story-telling.

Mysterious Island

A book by Jules Verne with effects by Ray Harryhausen, this ones a no-brainer. We had to do it.

Godzilla, Mothra & King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack

This is only our second kaiju film (Gorgo, being the first), and our very first in the long-running Godzilla franchise from Toho.

Prehysteria! (1993)

We thought that we'd review another film featuring the effects of David Allen and produced by Full Moon Features. The 90s staple of video store kid films: Prehysteria!

The Primevals

This film's production history is almost more interesting than the film itself: almost 3 decades after filming wrapped, the movie was finished and released into the world. Join us as we take a look at The Primevals - the "lost" film of David Allen.

The Howling (1981)

You all know how we feel about The Howling 3: The Marsupials, but now, we go back to the start of the franchise and give the original a go.

Godmonster of Indian Flats (1973)

We watched this film and are officially the April Fools for this April 1st episode. Listen as we discuss why is it called a godmonster? Why are we still watching this? Why do they keep saying that guy's name?

Bog (1979)

Bog from 1979 is a film that defies explanation, and not in a good way. Our review is more entertaining than the film and only half as long. Listen along as we take you through Bog.

Tremors (1990)

This film launched a 7-film and TV show empire, starring Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, Michael Gross, and Reba McEntire. Join us as we venture to Perfection and their unique subterranean wildlife.

Hammer's The Gorgon

From 1964, we review our first official Hammer horror film from the UK Powerhouse. Creature Features legend, Peter Cushing stars alongside Christopher Lee, Barbara Shelley, and Patrick Troughton in this great gothic horror.

Cast a Deadly Spell

This 1991 made for TV movie gives us an HP Lovecraft that is a detective in LA where everyone uses magic except him. This hard-boiled horror fantasy comedy is something else entirely.

At the Earth's Core (1976)

We feature another film starring 2 Creature Features alumni: Peter Cushing and Doug McClure in an adaptation of Edgar Rice Burrough's At the Earth's Core. This one has so many creatures we lose count.

Silver Bullet (1985)

Corey Haim and Gary Busey at his Busey-est team up to to take on a werewolf in this Stephen King adaptation.

Equinox

One of the founding partners of ILM provided special effects for this early 70s film. An early example of the cabin in the woods movies. Listen in to hear what we thought.

The Blood Beast Terror

In 1968, Peter Cushing starred in a film that tried to imitate the Hammer Horror formula. Join us to see if The Blood Beast Terror can accomplish it's lofty goal.

Demon in Paradise

Cirio Santiago created this film in 1987. The Demon in Paradise is definitely something unique. Listen along and see if you agree.

As promised for this second part of our anniversary extravaganze, we're going to look back at two lake/river/ocean monster movies and give them a new lease on life.
