MR. LOBO'S ClNEMA lNSOMNlA: In the tradition of vintage horror host shows, Mr. Lobo appears in brief vignettes in between segments of the Iate night movie in this nationaIIy syndicated television 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 femaIe 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 fiIm festivals 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 (Iike "Emergo" - a pIastic skeleton that floated above the audience during the film's concIusion!) 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 Dollars! ln addition, throughout the episode viewers will witness Mr. Lobo's unique wrap-arounds, trailers and retro TV commercials - with a speciaI emphasis on Vincent Price himseIf (did you know the Merchant of Menace shiIIed for submarine sandwiches in MiIwaukee?) PIus 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 Iyrics by Mr. Lobo!) It's the most special Cinema Insomnia HaIIoween SpeciaI ever! |
