Monster Kid Radio's Classic Five Core Deck Card Of The Month For December
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Dec 12, 2018
There are two ways to answer this question: "Who is your favorite mad scientist character?" and "Who is your favorite mad scientist actor?"
When it comes to favorite mad scientist character, there's so, so many to choose from....just off the top of my head, there's Boris Karloff's Dr. Gustav N read more
SALT IN THE WOUND
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Dec 9, 2018
A week or so ago I wrote a post on an Italian WWII film called FIVE FOR HELL. In it I made reference to the fact that Klaus Kinski played a SS Colonel by asking the question, "What else would Kinski play in a WWII movie?" My friend Troy Howarth, who has written a book about the actor (REAL DEPRAVITI read more
A Tribute To Sylvester Stallone And Rocky Balboa
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Dec 2, 2018
I watched CREED II yesterday, and I thought it was even better than the first CREED. It got me thinking about the entire Rocky film series--a series that has gone on for over forty years and includes eight movies so far. It's a series that has made a significant impact on pop culture, and with Sylve read more
FIVE FOR HELL
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Dec 1, 2018
FIVE FOR HELL (original Italian title 5 PER L'INFERNO) is a 1969 Italian WWII action adventure that tries to fit the mold of such films as THE DIRTY DOZEN and WHERE EAGLES DARE. This movie, however, is at a far lesser scale than those big-budget epics.
The story is set during the Italian Ca read more
THE SAINT--"The Man Who Gambled With Life"
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Nov 29, 2018
While going through my XfinityOne on-screen guide recently, I found out that I have free access to nearly every episode of the classic 1960s British TV series THE SAINT starring Roger Moore. This has allowed me the opportunity to view one particular episode that I've always wanted to see--a season s read more
HORRORS OF SPIDER ISLAND
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Nov 23, 2018
In Joshua Kennedy's THE FUNGUS AMONG US, the main cast is holed up in an empty house up for sale. During their stay, the characters turn on the TV and watch a film being shown--a film that I was not familiar with. Josh informed me that the movie was HORRORS OF SPIDER ISLAND, a title that I had never read more
THE FUNGUS AMONG US
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Nov 19, 2018
I can emphatically state that I had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Joshua Kennedy's latest film, THE FUNGUS AMONG US. (That statement alone might make some of Josh's fans happy). That fact enables me to write a totally unbiased (yeah, right) blog post about the production.
How creative is read more

Monster Kid Radio's Classic Five Core Deck Card Of The Month For November
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Nov 17, 2018
Now, there isn't really of lot of choices for this question. When it comes right down to it, for me anyway, there's only three: WHITE ZOMBIE, I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE, and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (the original version, of course).
I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE is an excellent film, but like most of read more
THE WASP WOMAN On Blu-ray From Shout Factory
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Nov 10, 2018
The 1959 Roger Corman THE WASP WOMAN isn't one of the director's better films, and it's not even one of the more notable fantastic films of its period--so why did Shout Factory give it a major Blu-ray release? Because that's what Shout Factory does, and let's all give thanks that they do it.
THE WA read more

Halloween Movie Memories
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Oct 30, 2018
Whenever it gets near Halloween, a few people usually say to me, "Since you are a big monster movie fan, you must always get excited around this time of year." In all honesty...I don't. Especially in this day and age, when Halloween has basically become what every other holiday celebrated in America read more
Monster Kid Radio's Classic Five Core Deck Card Of The Month For October
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Oct 27, 2018
My favorite mummy movie of all time is the 1959 THE MUMMY from Hammer Films.
Yes, the 1932 THE MUMMY from Universal is a great classic horror film. It has a dreamlike, creepy atmosphere, moody expressionistic direction from Karl Freund, and it features one of the best overall performances from Bori read more
BERSERK!
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Oct 22, 2018
Budget conscious mavens Mill Creek have released a Blu-ray double feature entitled "Psycho Biddy". (Is that a politically incorrect term, or what?) The two films on the bill both star Joan Crawford--STRAIT-JACKET, directed by William Castle, and BERSERK!, co-written and produced by Herman Cohen.&nbs read more

CRY OF THE WEREWOLF
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Oct 14, 2018
Last night on his weekly MeTV program, the legendary horror movie host Svengoolie showed the 1944 Columbia film CRY OF THE WEREWOLF. This was one of the very, very few American monster movies made during that period that I had never seen. It doesn't have much of a reputation, and after actually view read more
THE NIGHT STRANGLER On Blu-ray From Kino
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Oct 10, 2018
Yesterday I covered Kino's Blu-ray release of the famed TV movie THE NIGHT STALKER. Today I'll examine the sequel, THE NIGHT STRANGLER, which Kino has also put out on Blu-ray.
TV movies very rarely received sequels, but THE NIGHT STALKER was such a success a new story featuring the character of Car read more
THE NIGHT STALKER On Blu-ray From Kino
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Oct 9, 2018
Kino Lorber gives the special edition treatment to one of the greatest television movies of all time with their Blu-ray release of THE NIGHT STALKER.
True examples of the major network made for TV film are all but extinct now (about the only places you'll find anything that comes near to that defin read more
PILGRIMAGE
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Oct 6, 2018
My last post concerned a DVD I bought containing two early John Ford sound films: BORN RECKLESS and PILGRIMAGE. I covered BORN RECKLESS in that post, and today I will be reviewing PILGRIMAGE.
Film historian and Ford biographer Joseph McBride calls PILGRIMAGE the director's first great film. It has read more

The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Oct 2, 2018
My latest home video purchase is a DVD containing two rare films directed by the legendary John Ford. BORN RECKLESS (1930) and PILGRIMAGE (1933) are two early sound features made during Ford's tenure at Fox Studios in the 1930s. Today I will be discussing BORN RECKLESS.
John Ford is my favorite mov read more
