    NEW VIDEO!!! Bagi, the Monster of Mighty Nature, is a fascinating film because it engages with its subject matter passionately while also being full of furry butt shots. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcLf...

(Not the only time in the movie series that this happens!) After two Godzilla movies, Toho put him on ice until 1962!

    Random thought: The scariest option is usually not showing the monster. Whatever the details of “the Monster” are, your brain will come up with scarier ones, at least to you. I think the Backrooms worked as a movie because it showed the monster and still left you with more questions than answers.

    I think Monster House is one of the few animated movies that benefitted from live action rotoscoping. the uncanny movements works in its favor since it's a horror movie it also can look goofy at times which results in iconic scenes like this lol
