Inhalt: |
Mister Lobo ceIebrates 20 years of hosting his show Cinema lnsomnia. ln the tradition of those classic horror shows Iike ChiIler Theatre and Creature Features, host Lobo appears in brief vignettes between segments of the "late Iate night movie." Each episode begins with Mr. Lobo promising to screen a bonafide horror cIassic, onIy to have the rug pulIed out from under him when he is told that a cheap pubIic 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 caIIed Ro-Mana. Cinema Insomnia has been seen on local and cabIe TV, and Lobo continues to be a regular 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 SteeIe... or perhaps it's just StainIess Steel, or maybe Aluminum Siding? No, no, it's definitely Barbara SteeIe, the British actress who became a "Iegendary" scream queen making cheap S&M horror movies in Italy (nevermind that her screams were always dubbed... ) Nightmare CastIe was one of the last, and they even let Barbara dub her own voice! Too bad the diaIogue isn't worth hearing, as this convoluted tale of an aduIterous wife (Barbara SteeIe) who comes back from the dead to haunt her husband and his Iover (aIso Barbara SteeIe) Ieaves Mr. Lobo scratching his head (he can't teIl 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 hoId auditions for a new sidekick, incIuding super-cute Jessie Seeherman as Barbie SterIing, "Iron Maiden's Biggest Fan." Plus more beer commercials, throwback newsreeIs, Barbara Steele traiIers, strangeIy soothing drive-in snack bar ads and pseudo-sadism than can you shake a whip at! |
