I usually don't like to start topics, because I've so much work to deal with, but enjoy chipping in when reading interesting or insanely humorous posts. That, and I'm not normally thinking of new thread material anyways with my 30 minutes of leisure time during breaks. But, I agree that this board tends to lag continuously. I know there's plenty of monster fanatics out there amongst the horror, sci-fi, and Godzilla boards....but perhaps what we need is some film intervention and movie news?
-What's up with Godzilla Resurgence, it's nearing the release date, and there's hardly any updates or pressers on it as of yet??
-Anybody anticipating if the shark movie Meg will be any good, I heard Eli Roth dropped out, but Statham and Bingbing Fan are still slated to star in it? The premise certainly appeals to me, well, just about any shark film does....
That Prophecy bear, ohh, he takes the cake. I don't know who takes the prettier pictures though, between him, the Mutated dog in The Fly II, or the half-assimilated Husky form of The Thing? I'd add Freddy Krueger's face, but those are just burns, so it's not as genuine as the others, lol. The inside-out bear meets the inside-out dogs, why hasn't someone photoshopped that delightful trio into a happy group shot?
Well, my fave creature/monster (besides Godzilla) would have to be either the giant mutant ants from the movie THEM!, or Mr. Jenkins from the Willies. Both just off the top of my head, totally unheralded picks you know.... If I really put some thought into it, I could probably name a few more. Always liked the Creature from the Black Lagoon and the Gwangi dino, but they probably already get too much love. Same for those darn pesky Killer Klowns!
Next.....

Some old-school monsters that rarely get any love are the crawling-then flying killer brain creatures in the classic 1958 British-Canadian sci-fi thriller Fiend Without A Face. Saw this as a kid back in the early '80s one Saturday afternoon,and it scared the heck out of me,because it's a genuinely creepy movie in some parts. What impressed me about the creatures is how accurately they're made (they look like actual brains,with actual spinal cords and all that.) One of the creepiest parts of the film is when a bunch of them break through a screen door to get at the main characters, and straight up fly right at folks and start choking them. They do get taken out by bullets, though.
