A group of mining engineers prospecting for copper in the mountains of Lapland make an incredible discovery when their drilling unearths the remains of a giant, prehistoric amphibious reptile. A section of the creature’s tail is exhumed from beneath the frozen tundra and transported to the National Aquarium in Copenhagen, where it’s placed in a cold room to be studied by Professor Otto Martens and his research team. But when the door to the room is accidentally left ajar, the tail segment begins to thaw, quickly regenerating itself into a gigantic beast! Now loose and embarking on a cross-country rampage, the military are forced to employ all means necessary to rout the creature - now dubbed “Reptilicus” - before it launches a full-scale attack on the capital.
Pre-order Reptilicus.

Director Joe Dante gave his mentor, Roger Corman a cameo in The Howling (1981) as a man impatiently waiting for Dee Wallace to finish her phone call. He had Roger check the change slot first before making his call, reflecting his known thriftiness. RIP Roger Corman

All right, pets: you know the drill by now. Every year I save up as much of my monster movies, horror movies, spooky movies, scary movies, slashers, seasonally-appropriate thrillers, etc throughout the rest of the year and watch them all over September and October. I’ll see at least a hundred movies this season, but still less than my all time record. There’ll be some entries people want to quibble over but I’ll still be able to do over 100 even with a lot of asterisks….
Anyhow, I always like to start with something fun and light. The Comedy of Terrors is an absolute grand slam of talents before and behind the camera, and it’s easy to love all of these murderous undertakers and such. Price in particular is as lovable as he is hatable. Overdue for a rewatch.

R.I.P. Jonathan Haze
Thanks, Eve Golden, for passing along the intel about the passing of Jonathan Haze (Jack Schachter, 1929-2024). You may think there’s something kind of wrong about eulogizing him here today, as opposed to Quincy Jones, but I assure you that it’s just a matter of bandwidth. Quincy Jones, that’s a big post, and I’ll get to him, for I admired him to no end. But Jonathan Haze’s story can be told…
