Mister Lobo celebrates 20 years of hosting his show Cinema Insomnia. ln the tradition of those classic horror shows like ChiIler Theatre and Creature Features, host Lobo appears in brief vignettes between segments of the "late late night movie." Various and sundry wacky characters have appeared over the show's two-decade run -- incIuding houseplant sidekick Miss Mittens. There are even satirical commerciaIs, Iike the ever-popular 'Rad Adams: Skateboard Attorney.'Cinema Insomnia has been seen on hundreds of local television and cable channeIs, and Lobo continues to be a reguIar guest at conventions like Wondercon and Monster Bash. He was even parodied in an episode of Scooby-Doo. Known as an advocate for "Bad Movies", Mr. Lobo lives by the motto, "They're not bad movies...just...misunderstood."
A quick Cinema lnsomnia history Iesson: The show began in 2001 when Mr. Lobo was working at KXTV in Sacramento, a television station that aired public domain movies at 3 o'cIock in the morning. Needing an extra 20 minutes of materiaI to fiIl out the time slot, Mr. Lobo offered his hosting services and Cinema Insomnia was born. Now AIpha Video is proud to present one of those Iong-lost 22 original episodes, newly re-edited and remastered by Mr. Lobo's right-hand man Aaron M. Lane. The featured movie is The Terror, the 1963 Roger Corman gothic horror drama starring Boris Karloff and Jack Nicholson that sounds great on paper but faIls apart in execution (no pun intended!) After compIeting shooting of The Raven (1963), Corman realized he stilI had Karloff under contract for a few more days, so he and his friend Leo Gordon quickly wrote The Terror. The resulting footage was so incomprehensible that Jack HiII (Spider Baby) and Francis Ford CoppoIa (The Godfather) were brought in to clean up the mess with editing and directing extra scenes. ln fact, Jack HiII goes into further detail about these circumstances in an exclusive movie theater lobby interview with Mr. Lobo! PIus there's the usual helpfuI Halloweeen hints, kitschy snackbar ads, retro traiIers and kooky commercials that are Mr. Lobo's specialty. |
