DIE, MONSTER, DIE!
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Aug 11, 2013
Earlier this year I purchased a Barnes & Noble edition of the complete fiction of H. P. Lovecraft. I've been a Lovecraft fan since I was a teenager, and while reading all of his stories again it got me thinking about the various films based on Lovecraft's work.

BEN-HUR (1925)
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Aug 9, 2013
Because of all the movies that I've seen in my life, it's a very rare thing these days for me to watch a famous film for the very first time. But that's what happened last night when the Turner Classic Movies channel showed the 1925 version of BEN-HUR. The print TCM showed looked spectacul read more

The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Aug 3, 2013

I happen to be a member of the Peter Cushing Association on Facebook, and not too long ago I won a contest run by PCA head Christopher Gullo.

IRON MAN THREE
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Jul 26, 2013
(NOTE: IRON MAN THREE is exactly how the title is presented in the film's credits....so the way I see it, that's the official title, not IRON MAN 3.)
I finally saw IRON MAN THREE the other day. I liked it, and I thought it was a very entertaining film. I don't know much about the Iron Man comic bo read more

THE X FROM OUTER SPACE
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Jul 23, 2013
While I was attending Monster Bash 2013, I entered a monster movie trivia contest hosted by film historian Tom Weaver. I got 7 out of 8 right, but someone got 8 out of 8, so he got first prize. But it turned out okay, because the first-place winner got a bunch of DVDs that I already owned, and I got read more

The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Jul 22, 2013
The real highlight I had at this year's Monster Bash was meeting the lady who is considered by many to be the greatest of all of Hammer Films' actresses--Veronica Carlson.

The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Jul 22, 2013
On the weekend of July 19-21, I attended Monster Bash 2013 in Mars, Pennsylvania (not to far away from Pittsburgh). It was my first time at a Monster Bash, and I had a great experience. If you are someone who is a huge fan of classic horror films, I highly recommend going to a future Monster Bash if read more
