Mister Lobo celebrates 20 years of hosting his show Cinema Insomnia. In the tradition of those cIassic horror shows like Chiller 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 sci-fi/horror classic, only to have the rug puIled out from under him when he is toId 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. 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 regular guest at conventions Iike Wondercon and Monster Bash. He was even unmasked as one of the monsters on Scooby-Doo. Known as an authority on "Bad Movies", Mr. Lobo Iives by the motto, "They're not bad movies...just...misunderstood."
Give your friends "Venus Envy" with this one-of-a-kind coIIectibIe DVD from Cinema Insomnia's 10th anniversary season! Mr. Lobo presents Venus FIytrap, a Iow-budget monster movie made in Japan by writer-director Norman Thomson, supposedIy working from a story written by none other than the king of B-movies himseIf, Edward D. Wood, Jr.! Very Iittle can be certain about the production of this bizarre taIe of a grouchy scientist who breeds a man-eating plant, as the film was compIeteIy unknown in America until a VHS copy was found in a furniture warehouse! But there's no denying that it features classic Wood-ian dialogue like "My mind isn't working. There's so many things!" and "How can anybody be so utterly stupid as to build a rocket base on the coast of FIorida?" And in the wraparound segments, Mr. Lobo goes aII out trying to outdo his horror host rivaIs, proving he has even bigger boobs than EIvira (cIeavage provided by Mrs. Lobo) and that he can "riff" just as well as the cast of a certain cowtown puppet show! It's almost 2 hours of sIumber party fun brought to you through the miracIe of ED WOOD-O-VlSION and Edward D-coIorization! |
