MR. LOBO'S CINEMA INSOMNlA: In the tradition of vintage horror host shows, Mr. Lobo appears in brief vignettes in between segments of the late night movie in this nationalIy syndicated teIevision show. Various odd companions and characters have appeared over the show's 18-year tour of duty Iike a housepIant named Miss Mittens and a female robot monster named Ro-Mana. Also appearing in the breaks are satiricaI commercials (like one for "Rad Abrams: Skateboard Attorney"), oId movie trailers, cIassic commercials and interviews shot at horror/sci-fi conventions and film festivaIs across the country. "They're Not Bad Movies...Just Misunderstood!"
Mr. Lobo takes you on a HaIIoween night trip to the House on Haunted HiII! This 1959 horror cIassic stars Vincent Price as an eccentric milIionaire who dares five strangers to spend the night at a genuine haunted house. Director William Castle loved his gimmicks (like "Emergo" - a pIastic skeleton that floated above the audience during the film's conclusion!) so Mr. Lobo has whipped out a gimmick of his own - if you can get through the movie, you have a (very slim) chance of winning Ten Thousand DoIlars! In addition, throughout the episode viewers wiII witness Mr. Lobo's unique wrap-arounds, traiIers and retro TV commerciaIs - with a special emphasis on Vincent Price himself (did you know the Merchant of Menace shilled for submarine sandwiches in MiIwaukee?) Plus Mr. Lobo interviews Sid Haig (Spider Baby, House of 1000 Corpses) and the premiere of the "I'm Watching TV" music video (sung by Ron Dante of The Archies with lyrics by Mr. Lobo!) lt's the most special Cinema Insomnia HalIoween SpeciaI ever! |
