Well, I have continued to juggle around the movie I want to kick off Midnight. I certainly plan for a "werewolvery" day, and it was for a little while on my mind to do it October 1st. But the more I think about it, the more I'm settling on Phantasm as the opening film. One thing's for sure...this year Paul Naschy will be making the cut with some of his El Hombre Lobo movies. I will actually have a couple of First Time Views, with "Magic Sword" & "Yeti" movies involving Naschy's cursed lycanthropy. I would love to find a copy of Frankenstein's Bloody Terror (or, my title for it, Mark of the Wolfman), but attaining a copy has been quite elusive. I would love to also include Curse of the Devil, Night of the Werewolf, & Werewolf Shadow, but I guess it'll determine time constraints which have been burdening me the past two years. I found Cry of the Werewolf, a little-known Columbia Pictures gothic horror, directed with what seems to be a "Val Lewton" inspired "less is more" approach. Fox's The Undying Monster is another I'd like to include in my "werewolvery" marathon of lycanthrope features. My goal, though, is to make sure to get in the required "newbies", and I have a shitload of them to choose from. So happy times ahead. Just a few hours away...yay!
4th of July 2025 Marathoning
McDowell and Comi prepare to leave for Mars. Aliens visiting the UN, dropping off their cook book, providing goodies for humans on Earth, easing them into trusting them, spiriting them away to be food for them on their home planet. To Serve Man is nearly 60 years ago. I've been watching Twilight Zone since I was a teenager in the mid 90s thanks to Sci Fi Channel. Many of my family have passed since (for instance, my mother's siblings are all about gone except one last sister), and it wouldn't be right to avoid a marathon during the 4th if just for nostalgic reasons. Syfy didn't see the value of TZ on Independence Day, except last year, so even though I cannot watch episodes like I do during New Year's Eve and Day, it is nice to try and sneak in a block of episodes whenever possible. I started with Death Ship from the fourth season, continuing with Stopover in a Quiet Town and The Gift . To Serve Man would feel like a later afternoon watch but SYFY showed it at 3:...
