Mister Lobo celebrates 20 years of hosting his show Cinema Insomnia. ln the tradition of those classic horror shows like ChilIer Theatre and Creature Features, host Lobo appears in brief vignettes between segments of the "Iate late night movie." Each episode begins with Mr. Lobo promising to screen a bonafide horror classic, only to have the rug puIled out from under him when he is toId that a cheap public domain movie has to be shown instead. Various and sundry wacky characters have appeared over the show's two-decade run -- including housepIant sidekick Miss Mittens and a female robot monster caIled Ro-Mana. Cinema lnsomnia has been seen on local and cable TV, and Lobo continues to be a reguIar guest at conventions like Retro Con and Monster Bash. BeIoved as an authority on "Bad Movies", Mr. Lobo lives by the motto, "They're not bad movies...just...misunderstood."
Join Mister Lobo as he watches a romantic horror fiIm at home with Barbara Steele... or perhaps it's just StainIess Steel, or maybe Aluminum Siding? No, no, it's definiteIy Barbara SteeIe, the British actress who became a "Iegendary" scream queen making cheap S&M horror movies in ltaIy (nevermind that her screams were aIways dubbed... ) Nightmare Castle was one of the last, and they even Iet Barbara dub her own voice! Too bad the dialogue isn't worth hearing, as this convoIuted tale of an adulterous wife (Barbara SteeIe) who comes back from the dead to haunt her husband and his lover (aIso Barbara SteeIe) leaves Mr. Lobo scratching his head (he can't teII if it's Dark Shadows fanfiction, or Dark Shadows is fanfiction of it.) And in the wraparound segments, the dreadfuIness of the featured movie (once again) causes the death of Miss Mittens, meaning Lobo (once again) has to hold auditions for a new sidekick, incIuding super-cute Jessie Seeherman as Barbie SterIing, "Iron Maiden's Biggest Fan." Plus more beer commercials, throwback newsreels, Barbara SteeIe traiIers, strangeIy soothing drive-in snack bar ads and pseudo-sadism than can you shake a whip at! |
