After two months of accidental hiatus, we’re back on track to finishing the greatest artistic achievement known to mankind: The Phantom Creeps (1939). Our story thus far: Dr. Crazypants Evildude Zorka (Bela Lugosi) has harnessed the awesome power of a meteorite harvested from the depths of the 1936 film The Invisible Ray, and plans on…
The Phantom Creeps #10: “The Meteorite Is More Dangerous To You Than Useful!”
This is Day (looks at the calendar, does math, cries a little, asks for help) Seven of the Camp & Cult Blogathon!

The Phantom Creeps #9: “I Got Conked On The Head, That’s All I Know.”
Chapter 9: Speeding Doom The Phantom Creeps was filmed more than three decades before I was born, yet I feel somehow responsible for the frank, unabashed boredom in the slower episodes of the serial. There’s some guilt for subjecting you fine people to these terrible things, is what I’m saying, yet not enough guilt to…

The Phantom Creeps #4: You Have Sold the Source of My Power to My Enemies!
Welcome to the fourth repost of The Phantom Creeps recaps, brought over from the old She Blogged By Night blog. If good things happen — and it won’t; listen to Louis CK, kids, because he’s right about everything — once the reposts are all moved over, I’ll finish the recaps, giving me time to move…
The Phantom Creeps #3: Power Enough to Seize or Destroy the World!
Our third repost of recaps of the 1939 serial The Phantom Creeps, previously published on the old She Blogged By Night and moved over here to get us all ready for the tremendous finale that awaits. This one is going up a little earlier than planned so I can move on to finishing my entry…
