GAMERA is 57, yo!
In the 1960s, with the staggering success of Toho's GODZILLA franchise, others had to get in on the Big Horror act, and they were! From the U.S.A. and THEM, THE DEADLY MANTIS, TARANTULA, and DINOSAURUS! to the U.K. and GORGO, audiences were Koo Koo for Kaiju.
Problem was, every studio and their little sister were making Big Horror varmints and the fledging Daiei Studios needed a critter that Godzilla's studio, Toho, couldn't say "No, no." to. It also had to play in the U.S. and damn but those Yanks had everything from THE GIANT GILA MONSTER, to rather large sea slugs, to just a pink blob of goo. That's it! Those damn Yanks made a box office hit about a giant blob of goo! Then for an encore they made a hit movie about giant rocks! Not rock monsters, mind you. Just some freaking rocks that grow, break, and fall on things.
So Daiei Studios needed to get creative, by golly, and that's when writer Niisan Takahashi said, "Hey, let's make a movie about a Giant freaking turtle!" (or words to that effect. It was all in Japanese and I wasn't there). His pitch was a giant slow moving turtle that was super fast - when it wanted to be - because it could fly on rocket power! And it was even more dangerous than a regular looking turtle because, to really spice things up, instead of a beak it would have tusks!
Director Noriaki Yuasa agreed that spicy turtle was the way to go and they broke for lunch (I guess. Again, I wasn't there). Whether or not it happened this way will never be known, because after the movie was a box office smash, most everybody associated with the production insisted they thought of it first!
Forrest J Ackerman Was Born This Day
When Famous Monsters of Filmland appeared on every magazine rack in every city and tiny town, Forrest J Ackerman proved that many of us weren't lonely freaks adrift in a backwoods ocean of bibles and baseball.
We were everywhere! We just had to find each other, and thanks to Uncle Forrey, we did! Comic, Horror, and SciFi conventions burst forth as people came from all over a city, a state, even the earth to attend.

Actor Franco Nero (I CRIMINALI DELLA GALASSIA, I DIAFANOIDI VENGONO DA MARTE, IL TERZO OCCHIO, LA MORTE VIENE DAL PIANETA AYTIN, GIORNATA NERA PER L'ARIETE, HITCH-HIKE, THE VISITOR, THE SALAMANDER, KAIMIKAZE 1989, THE GIRL, ALIEN TERMINATOR, DIE HARD 2, LA VOCE DEL SANGUE, MEGIDDO: The Omega Code 2, FUMATA BLANCA, DIE 8, BAD INCLINATION, BASTARDI, RASPUTIN, NEW ORDER, THE WOODS, MAMULA, JOHN WICK CHAPTER 2, THE EXECUTRIX, THE JESTER FROM TRANSYLVANIA, and I've gotta stop here because ol' Franco has
made over 200 freaking movies!) who is 81.
If you are one of those Horror fans whose tastes cross over into Westerns
or Crime Dramas, Franco's other flicks (DJANGO, DJANGO UNCHAINED) won't leave you wanting. With 200+
films under his belt, the man has made crap and classics.
Director M. Night Shyamalan's break out hit, THE SIXTH SENSE, amassed him a great following, a huge audience, tons of good will, and a media that was so over-hyping him (The next Hitchcock! The next Spielberg!), solely on the basis of a single movie, that it seemed they were intentionally setting him up for a fall if not an outright crash.
The press wasn't alone in this. Shyamalan, possibly seeing the success of BLADE, wanted to promote it as a Comic Book Superhero origin movie. Disney (Touchstone), however, wanted to create a rut for Shyamalan and marketed it as a Supernatural Thriller like THE SIXTH SENSE, even going so far as to cut 15 minutes out of the movie so it wouldn't conflict with the Supernatural angle. So when this movie was released the following year, many saw it as a stumble and despite it being a box office hit, M. Night Shyamalan was crushed by the bad press. Yet there were still many others who saw UNBREAKABLE as a step up.

COCO Turns 5
What a Pixar idea! Bring the whole family into the world of the dead where skeletons exist as sentient beings who can die again when people don't remember them ("We call it the death of death") that will play on everyone's heartstrings!
How were they able to UN Gruesomely bring life to the dead and make it work in a family film? That's the secret of COCO.

After 91 years and copious tomes dedicated to just this one movie, what more is there left to say? Well, if you've never seen it, this is why you should see FRANKENSTEIN.
And -
WESTWORLD Turns 50!
50 Years of Artificial Intelligence! Can you believe it? I can't believe it because it's not true.
Yet Writer and Director Michael Crichton, coming hot off the box office hit of his novel, THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN, and having proved himself as a Director with his TV movie hit, THE PURSUIT, based his novel and movie, WESTWORLD off of a visit to Walt Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
More than watch the robots, he observed how the tourists reacted to them, as they murmured in awe at how realistic they were. Michael knew that we didn't have to have Intelligent self-aware robots, we could be tricked just by them imitating us: our conversations and mannerisms. And what better way to fool modern tourists than by taking them out of their comfort zone of the present, and putting them in various theme parks in history where they have no actual idea of how people communicated and behaved toward each other?
Because the danger isn't that the robots want to harm humans, but that a glitch makes them unable to tell humans from the other robots they are programmed to harm, in fights and shoot-outs, for entertainment.
The problem is not that the robot is intelligent, but that it's not intelligent and so follows its automaton function.
The idea not only works for 1973, it still works today when driverless cars can't "see" the red light and run through an intersection. If its sensors can't see the world around it, even Asimov's 3 Laws of Robotics won't save you. Which is why Michael Crichton's work from JURASSIC PARK to WESTWORLD remains prophetic and relevant half a century later.

PREDATOR 2 Turns 32
Yes, I was there to see it in theaters. No, I couldn't believe it did so poorly at the box office and I wound up being one of theose people who defended it to all who would listen. Just as I did with John Carpenter's THE THING and as I continue to do with a few other movies.
"This is exactly where the sequel should have gone!" I would say. "Once the Predator was defeated in the jungle, the trophy hunters have to step up their game! And Danny Glover is outstanding in this. Mike Harrigan is the hard core city cop he would be if he wasn't about to retire and he didn't have to babysit a traumatized man-child!"
Then I'd calm down and say something like this about PREDATOR 2.
Also -
GOTHIKA Turns 20
Have you ever watched a movie that had lots of possibilities, a great concept, in short, a movie that you really wanted to like? And yet, watching it through, it felt as if the Writer, Director(s), and Producer(s) really didn't want you to like it?
Frank Darabont's THE MIST has its defenders and I get that. I get why some folks find something special to like in a movie and love it enough that they'd like you to enjoy it from their perspective. I'm the same way myself about certain movies.
Yet there's a reason The Weinstein Company gave this flick a weak release and Horror audiences turned away from it. Here is why I don't personally see myself ever being a defender of THE MIST.

ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES is 29 Today
THE ADDAMS FAMILY TV Show spent decades in syndication building up a loyal following, but all of the original actors were too old and every attempt to replicate their magic with other actors fell flat on its face. Even an actor like Tim Curry couldn't save it. And yet, somehow, lightning struck again with Barry Sonnenfeld's THE ADDAMS FAMILY. When the sequel came out the only way it could succeed was if Barry figured out a way to bottle that lightning. Did he? Read about THE ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES.

IT Was 32 Years Ago Tonight...

THE INVISIBLE MAN Turns 89!
In the 1930s, Carl Lammele's Universal Pictures had over a century of classic Horror literature, esteemed in the Western world, to draw upon (mostly for free) and none of the other big studios realized that there was a vast audience out there hungering for more than boilerplate mobsters and shitkickers. Further, that audience would make stars out of directors like Todd Browning and James Whale who were directing the scary.
In home run after homerun, Universal Pictures made its name, legacy, and owes its success as a major studio to Horror movies, much to the embarrassment of future Universal Pictures CEOs who tried and failed to live it down or live up to such past glories. This is what 1933 audiences saw in THE INVISIBLE MAN.

Bram Stoker's DRACULA Turns 30
In the 1990s, and thanks to Actor Winona Ryder, Producer/Director Francis Ford Coppola got ahold of a television script for Dracula: The Untold Story. Reeling from several film failures that put his studio, Zoetrope, deep into debt and trouble, Coppola desperately needed a hit.
But by the 1990s, Dracula movies had been done to death: including vampire movies that brought Dracula into modern times (which in fact, is exactly what Bram Stoker's Dracula did - for its time). One thing that no one had really tried to do, however, was actually make Bram Stoker's Dracula the way that old Bram really wrote it.

Nov. 9, 1984. Two Horror movies got limited releases. One successful, one less so...
A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET Turns 38
Nearly 20 years since the last of the Robert Englund Freddy Kruger movies (2003's FREDDY vs JASON), and yet Wes Craven's creation continues to storm at the front of Horror icons.
Wes Craven's nightmare creation was actually the tamest, most Hollywood accessible movie he'd made by that point. Yet at the same time, he based it on actual events happening in Los Angeles. Paul V. Wargelin saw it in the theater in 1984: A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET.
And -
SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT Turns 38
It had the gore, it had the nudity, it had everything to win an audience in 1984 except for two things. It was up against Wes Craven's A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and it had possibly the worst salesman/marketer of the 1980s. The movie that lost to Wes, SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT.

A box office flop and one of the worst rated movies at this site, which is a damn shame because Phil Tippet's outstanding creature design, the practical and cgi artists and their SFX, all put so much damn heart into into STARSHIP TROOPERS that - a quarter century later - many of the alien "bugs" remain amazing to look at. But this was the movie that eventually broke Paul Verhoven and sent him scurrying out of America and Hollywood to lick his wounds back home.
And not because it tanked at the box office, not because of fan appreciation, but because of Paul's own personal character.
This movie review, originally posted in 1997 after the weekend release of the movie, chronicles 25 years of Verhoven's humiliating misstep and why it deserves a reboot: STARSHIP TROOPERS.

...until someone else made it as a low budget indie...

Thomas Harris is far from the only author writing Horrific and twisted detective novels, he was only fortunate enough to have two great movies, that also did great at the theater box office, based on his novels.
Jeffery Deaver is another bestselling author, but movie adaptions to his Lincoln Rhyme novels, while good to great, didn't garner big box office. Still, it's easy to see why actors at the top of their game like Densel Washington, Angelina Jolie, and Michael Rooker were eager to get onboard with screenwriter, Jeremy Iacone's adaption. If you've never seen it, this is why THE BONE COLLECTOR is worth the hunt.

The centerpiece of this banner for Día de Muertos or Día de los Muertos
is the art of José Guadalupe Posada.
Countries adopt a wide variety of foreign holidays and make them their own, instilling their own customs into them, and world-wide the examples are many: HALLOWEEN, Christmas, Mardi Gras, Easter, St. Patrick's Day, and more.
Even in China, their resolutely non-religious government still celebrates Christmas and goes to great expense to hire Caucasian men to fly in and cosplay as Santa for the children.
Purists say Day of the Dead, which begins on November 1 and ends on November 2, is not a Mexican version of Halloween*. Yet Hallowmass (revamped to All Saint's Day), which also begins on Nov. 1, bears striking similarities to the Latin America version. Moreover no one can deny the obvious, that down through the years children and adults from both cultures increasingly celebrate with dressing up in costume and, depending on the state/cuidad, going door to door asking for dulce (candy). HALLOWEEN and DÍA de MUERTOS is no longer the somber Catholic Feast for the Dead the European church created centuries ago.
33 Days of HALLOWEEN! Day 32
*Halloween comes from Hallowtide or Allhallowtide, which begins, not ends, on October 31.

PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE Turns 48
I was a kid when I saw this movie playing at a Science Fiction convention. They had a huge screen set-up and a far better sound system than I've heard at any subsequent conventions. I'd gone to the screening room to catch a different movie and Brian De Palma's passion project was so good I still can't remember the name of the movie I originally went to see!
Even stranger than the fact that this movie tanked at the theaters, is how this experimental 20th Century Fox movie spent decades being the midnight movie event to see in One Small Town, years before 20th Century Fox's next experimental Horror Comedy Musical, THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW.
How on earth did a twisted comedic riff on the cut-throat recording industry and Hollywood so resonate with a farming community deep in the middle-of-nowhere - somewhere - Canada? Discover the bizarre life and times of Writer and Director Brian De Palma's PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE.
