Monster-of-the-Week: ...our honoree is any of the big cyclopean starfish from the 1956 Japanese epic Warning from Space...
(They aren't really that big in the movie.)

RIP to the mighty and magnificent Aretha Franklin, passed on at 76. Words fail.

BRUTE FARCE
Just because the excellent Comet TV is showing the movie this month...
Monster-of-the-Week: ...let's give the nod to...
...the title character of 1953's The Neanderthal Man.
Please I understand that I understand that the actual Neanderthal, as known to paleontology and anthropology, was no monster. But in this lurid, trashy and pretty funny quickie he's the savage, ape-like killer into which scientist Robert Shayne periodically transforms himself with injections of some formula; he also uses it to turn his maid into a beast-woman and a cat into a saber-tooth tiger.
The Neanderthal Man is on Comet at 2 a.m. Friday and 10 a.m. next Wednesday, Phoenix time, should you wish to partake. One of its posters trumpeted that it was the "Greatest Chiller-Thriller Since Frankenstein!!!" Not so much.
