Alright, fellow B-movie warriors , grab your popcorn, your snark, and maybe a flashlight, because this week’s Starlight Monster Movie Madness is serving up TWO steaming helpings of cinematic chaos! That’s right— a double feature so wild, so ridiculous, so absolutely WHAT?! that you won’t believe your eyes (or ears). At 11 PM this Saturday , prepare yourself for the one-two punch of: 👻 The Invisible Ghost (1941) —Because what’s scarier than a ghost? An invisible one! (Or is it just a budget cut?) 🦍 The Ape (1940) —Boris Karloff and a dude in a gorilla suit... need I say more? First Up: The Invisible Ghost 👀💀 Bela Lugosi stars in this masterpiece of sheer nonsense , playing a man haunted by the ghost of his dead wife—except, twist! She’s not actually dead. (Spoiler: This is the only logical part of the movie.) People are getting murdered left and right, and no one seems to question the fact that the killer might just be... oh, I don’t know... THE GUY WHO LOOKS REALLY GUILTY A...
Okay, friends, let’s talk about The Marshal of Madrid (1971), a bizarre yet strangely fascinating relic from the annals of TV-to-movie-to-who-knows-what history. Directed by none other than Richard Donner (yes, Superman and Lethal Weapon Richard Donner) and starring the ever-stoic Glenn Ford, this project has layers of weirdness that deserve attention. Grab your popcorn because we’re diving into the Western mystery mess that eventually explained Glenn Ford's presence in Superman . Wait, Madrid? Like Spain? Not quite. The “Madrid” in question is a dusty New Mexico town, but let’s face it—“The Marshal of Madrid” makes it sound like Glenn Ford is chasing fugitives through Spanish cathedrals, which, honestly, would have been cooler. Instead, we get Ford as Sam Cade, the lawman who’s seen it all and probably wishes he hadn’t. How Did This Even Happen?

Horror fans, camp lovers, and those who just appreciate Bela Lugosi giving his all for the paycheck—mark your calendars. On January 4, 2025, Starlight Monster Movie Madness returns with a double feature guaranteed to thrill, chill, and (let’s be honest) make you laugh at its glorious absurdity. Prepare yourself for The Corpse Vanishes (1942) and One Body Too Many (1944), two classics that prove Lugosi was the MVP of spooky cinema long before vampires sparkled. First Up: The Corpse Vanishes This gem features Bela Lugosi as a deranged scientist who kidnaps brides on their wedding day to keep his wife eternally young. Because obviously, when you need eternal youth, kidnapping brides is the logical solution. Expect foggy graveyards, ridiculous plot twists, and enough overacting to fuel your next Halloween party. 🌫️💍 #BrideBeware, #EternalYouthOrBust, #BelaKnowsBest Second Serving: One Body Too Many Here we have Lugosi playing a shady butler in a murder mystery with a mansion, hi...
