Yes, I know…it’s Tuesday, not Mondy. Somehow this slipped by me yesterday to get this posted. But hopefully a day late won’t matter that much, right?
Last week’s photo was a shot of the incredible film Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor, this special effects monster extravaganza from 1990! If you haven’t seen this film and love the good old fashion monster effects, then make sure you seek this one out! Kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Aaron Christensen, Ron Cole, Dan Frye, Gregg Olheiser, and William Wilson.
Now let us get to this week’s photo. This one is another title that might have slipped under the radar but is highly worth seeking out. So give a peek and see what you can come up with.

Chicago’s own Music Box Theatre has started to announce some titles for their 12th annual 24-hour marathon which takes place on October 15th, starting at noon and running through to noon on Sunday the 16th. We’ve been to every single one of these marathons and have always had a great time. The Music Box is one of my personal favorite theaters in Chicago and the crowds that come in here for these marathons are die-hard fans and are actually coming into see the films and have a good time….not just to party. Nothing wrong with that mind you, but not in the theater while the movies are screening. So we’re looking for another incredible lineup and a lot of fun. From what they have announced so far, I think I might be spending some of my time in there watching them!
Back in the early ’90s, back when VHS tape trading and the grey market were in full swing, a movie would surface from the underground that would start to make a buzz. While even then you were always looking for a really pristine quality copy, when I stumbled across this 72 minute feature film, it was one of those visual experiences that you don’t soon forget. In fact, it is one that you immediately start to tell friends about, that they need to see this to believe. The Begotten, written and directed by E. Elias Merhige, is about….well….it’s kind of like….okay, okay. It is really something that just needs to be seen…or rather experienced. There’s no dialogue, just an incredible stylisted piece of cinema. Years later, Merhige would direct Shadow of the Vampire, starring Willem Dafoe and John Malkovich.
