"WTF Did I just see?!" is the unofficial motto of Schlocktober. Excellent video, Bob! You had me howling with that burn on Prometheus.
Dude, I think it might be a definite possibility that Matt Groening based Dr. Zoidberg on those lobster monsters, I mean look at them, its a spitting image.
Did MST3K ever riff on this movie? If not, then that was a seriously missed opportunity. If that is the case, perhaps Rifftrax can pick up the ball.
Also, that last part of the director's untimely demise was rather sad. Makes me wish you ended the episode with more footage from last year's Attack of the Super Monsters, Bob.
Another fantastic Schlocktober comes to an end. Awesome job.
Not to be Buzz Killington here, but I looked ahead and found out that the October in 2014 and 2015 will only have four Tuesdays. Hopefully, Bob will cram in a fifth episode before or after Halloween.

Laughed at "It still makes more sense than Prometheus"
Regarding MST3K, keep in mind that this aired while the internet was still in its infancy. Their great discoveries - Manos, The Coleman Francis films - were very much luck based. Many times fans would send in a VHS tape and that would be their movie. On top of that, getting rights to movies was never easy. It's one of the reasons why they never riffed 'Night of the Lepus', even though it's clear from a number of jokes that they knew it existedMr. Q said:
This looks like something either MST3K would riff upon, or the Cinema Snob would've reviewd.
I had a good laugh at this and another great Shlocktober came and went by, thanks Bob!

Thank you for mentioning in passing Wizard of Mars. I had stumbled on this twice in my youth, and couldn't figure out what I was watching. Turns out, neither could anyone else.
Long, long segments with nothing but exposition. Wandering around aimlessly in a desert landscape where nothing happens. Apparently there's also a long underground rafting sequence where nothing happens.
I haven't seen it in decades, but I've never forgotten it.

Is it actually possible to color old black and white movies? And I don?t mean like how this movie did it.
Yes, you can go back and add color to old black and white movies. I have a DVD sitting on my shelf that contains recolored versions of Night of the Living Dead, Dracula, and... something else I can't think of off the top of my head.themilo504 said:
Ted Turner used to colorize classics, but the results were pretty awful looking. There are a couple of more recent examples that turned out much better, but still not 100% convincing:themilo504 said:

Wow...I can't believe that movie exists. It still surprises me how some of those crazy old, low budget movies came about. Oh well, at least they can be entertaining in ways they didn't mean.
Goodbye, Schlocktober. You shall be missed for the next 11 months.
