Monster a go go
Monster a-go go
Monster a go go is a strange film with a strange history. Pioneer indie filmmaker and gore guru, Herschell Gordon Lewis acquired a partially finished film from Bill Rebane and finished it so he could have a double bill film to show theaters. In that era of film distribution, you increased your chance of actually getting paid by theater owners if both films were under your name.
The film concerns an astronaut struck by mysterious radiation. Since Lewis was filming scenes years after the partially finished film, one actor played his previous character's 'brother' as well as the iconic droning narration(in our era of high end sound equipment and EFX would not be a problem, but in the earlier era of indies, you could cover huge gaps in sound by music and/or narration).

The film is very disjointed in structure, and the ending is somewhat off kilter. The radioactive astronaut monster causing havoc has a
mysterious resolution. The narrator (Lewis) announces that there was
never a monster, and the real astronaut was safe miles away. Add to
this weird ending, disjointed acting and a chaotic film structure you
have one of the strange films that was lampooned on mystery science
theater TV show. Did the monster happen or was it all a trick of the
mind?
Monster a-go go was also lampooned on mystery science theater 3000
Herschell Gordon Lewis would later be instrumental in the first gore film, bloodfest, and other slasher films. It is ironic such gore feasts would have its roots with a strange atomic monster from a cardboard space capsule.
In this episode of Spandex and Monster, we explore the weird surreal films of Chris DeJoseph and his group Friday nite frights. I first discovered these films on you tube, and I was instantly hooked by them. Sexy ladies, monsters, and people wearing rubber masks in carny films that range from horror, comedy, and all places in between with subtle subtext of fetish, science fiction and horror. So without further ado, here is filmmaker Chris DeJoseph of Friday Nite Frights. Tell the world who you are, and what is it you do with your films.

Watchmen, and possible parallel universe Few can deny comic book writer Alan Moore, has altered the shape of comic books (much to his chagrin), and now it is common to see a 'superhero' film aimed at adults or tackling adult themes. His work is primarily focused on the comic book medium, and after finding himself in legal hassles over the idea of league of extraordinary of gentlemen where a 'hollywood' producer claimed Moore stole his idea for a film, Moore swore off all things cinema and hollywood (it's not uncommon for him to remove his name from any cinema adaption of his works). Primarily, Moore focuses on his work in the comic book medium. writer and occultist Alan Moore Moore also is into the occult and lists himself as a ceremonial magician and uses these techniques in his writings. Primarily he believes in the concept of 'idea space' whereas the concept of characters and interaction give birth to the writings of the writer, ie, there a
