MONSTER OF BLOOD / aka PANIC aka BAKTERION - 1982

First of all, I promised Grant that I'd post LEYENDAS MACABRAS DE LA COLONIA today, but, it froze up right at the beginning and I had to switch to this crazy thing. So, sorry about that...

So, here we go with a Spanish/Italian production filmed in England, it's about a scientist's experiment with a deadly bacteria that goes awry and leaves him horribly deformed. Then, the monster runs amok, killing anyone that gets in his way!

It stars David (TROG) Warbeck, Janet (EATEN ALIVE!) Agren, Roberto (THE GREEN INFERNO) Ricci, José (NIGHT OF THE WALKING DEAD) Lifante and Miguel (THE REVOLUTION OF THE SEVEN MADMEN) Herrera.

Things start going haywire when the monster is loose and's on the warpath. He kills the girl's boyfriend and then goes after her!

Just for fun, this guy looks like a mix between Walt Disney and John Emery!

This guy looks like a mix between Bill Nye and Pauly Shore!

And this guy, well, he just looks dead!

The killing doesn't stop there, here's a gal taking a shower, when, the monster breaks through the glass and chokes her out... Notice her underarm hair, popular with European women back in the day!

While this crowd is enjoying a movie at the theater, the monster claws its way through the screen, causing the people to scatter out of the show...

Here's a nice shot of some eighties night life in England.

No place is safe from the thing, it just claws through doors to get to more victims!

By the way, the military is ready to go into action and even use bombs to rid the community of the infected creature!

Here's a shot I like, the checkerboard hat and light tie in is pretty cool.

Our hero, Captain Kirk, fires some shots into the monster, which actually slows it down a little. But it gets away yet again...

The thing lumbers around as if it's lost. No wonder, just take a look at that face, not any fun to be a slimy old monster. Reminds me of one of those wild Filipino monsters from the Blood Island movies!

In a last attempt to stop the monster, the cops fire lots of bullets into it, but, it will just not go down! So, what's it gonna take?

Like in THE BLOB, Captain Kirk grabs a fire extinguisher and engulfs the monster with an icy fog. After emptying the extinguisher, the thing gets frozen and finally dies right in front of our eyes! So, there you go, another one bites the ice, a warning to other monsters with bad intent! Join us again in October as we gear up for Halloween Countdown!..
