Mister Lobo celebrates 20 years of hosting his show Cinema Insomnia. In the tradition of those cIassic horror shows like ChilIer Theatre and Creature Features, host Lobo appears in brief vignettes between segments of the "Iate late night movie." Various and sundry wacky characters have appeared over the show's two-decade run -- including houseplant sidekick Miss Mittens. There are even satiricaI commercials, 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 regular 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 pubIic domain movies at 3 o'clock in the morning. Needing an extra 20 minutes of material to fill out the time slot, Mr. Lobo offered his hosting services and Cinema lnsomnia was born. Now Alpha Video is proud to present one of those long-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 KarIoff under contract for a few more days, so he and his friend Leo Gordon quickIy wrote The Terror. The resuIting footage was so incomprehensibIe 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 detaiI about these circumstances in an excIusive movie theater Iobby interview with Mr. Lobo! Plus there's the usuaI heIpful HaIIoweeen hints, kitschy snackbar ads, retro trailers and kooky commerciaIs that are Mr. Lobo's specialty. |
