THE X FROM OUTER SPACE
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Jul 23, 2013
While I was attending Monster Bash 2013, I entered a monster movie trivia contest hosted by film historian Tom Weaver. I got 7 out of 8 right, but someone got 8 out of 8, so he got first prize. But it turned out okay, because the first-place winner got a bunch of DVDs that I already owned, and I got read more

Veronica Carlson
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Jul 22, 2013
The real highlight I had at this year's Monster Bash was meeting the lady who is considered by many to be the greatest of all of Hammer Films' actresses--Veronica Carlson.

Monster Bash 2013
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Jul 22, 2013
On the weekend of July 19-21, I attended Monster Bash 2013 in Mars, Pennsylvania (not to far away from Pittsburgh). It was my first time at a Monster Bash, and I had a great experience.

HANDS OF THE RIPPER On Blu-ray
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Jul 18, 2013
Synapse Films' latest entry in their Hammer Horror Collection is HANDS OF THE RIPPER. This film does not have the major reputation of some of the other Hammer classics, due to the fact that most Americans have probably never seen it.
HANDS OF THE RIPPER was made in 1971, when Hammer Films was under read more

PACIFIC RIM
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Jul 15, 2013
Now....that's more like it.
PACIFIC RIM is a real Summer Movie. It isn't anything more than what it is--giant robots battling giant monsters. It's not a sequel, or a remake, or a reboot, or a "known" commodity--a very rare thing in this day and age. There's no trending "movie star" being paid $20 read more
