ANGRY BIRD

In honor of the entertaining Olympics, winding down this week, a Brazilian monster would seem in order, so…

Monster-of-the-Week: …let’s award this magnificent painting by the great Reynold Brown of Curucu…


…supposedly a legendary bird-beast of the Amazon that menaces the ever-fabulous Beverly Garland in Universal’s 1956 Curucu, Beast of the Amazon


Unfathomably, this art went unused in the poster in favor of this…


I can only imagine that this was because Brown’s full-view realization of the monster was so infinitely superior to what was revealed in the course of the film, Universal may have feared rioting in the theaters.
