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...
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...
Oh, you thought those wild Black Friday fights over TVs and toys were a modern phenomenon? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because back in the ‘80s, moms were throwing fists over Cabbage Patch Kids — yes, those weird little doll faces that looked like they’d been through a blender. And no, this is not some urban legend. There’s actual video footage of it. 🙄 So here’s the scene: It’s 1983, and the Cabbage Patch Kids are flying off the shelves faster than your hopes and dreams after hitting a dead-end job. They’re the toy of the year, the Holy Grail, the thing that will make or break your reputation as a mother. Forget the love and care you give your kids, the real question was, “Did you get them a Cabbage Patch Kid for Christmas?” And of course, mothers —yes, mothers—were prepared to go to war to get their hands on one. Sure, it’s just a doll, but with its signature look of slightly weird, cherubic innocence and big floppy ears, it was a symbol of success. They weren’t just any ...
