GODZILLA vs. MEGAGUIRUS / Toho Company - 2000

The Big Guy is back, this time, Japan creates an artificial black hole device to trap Godzilla forever, but, a test of the device creates new foes for Godzilla, car-sized dragonflies called Meganula and their queen, Megaguirus!!.. How do you even pronounce that?

Here are a few cool facts we are proud of, here at The Dungeon! - Our Google counter just went over 3 million hits, we have been at this for freakin' 10 years, and, we have 2421 posts with 6596 comments!! Not too bad for two old Monster Dudes!

Anyway, the Japanese military tests their black hole device, mission accomplished, except a strange anomaly is noticed after the explosion... What does it mean?!

Well, the anomaly created an egg from the void. The kid finds it and takes it home. Later, the egg starts breaking up when left in water...

Then, in a scene out of an eighties horror flick, this guy and his girlfriend become food for a big old Meganula terror.

After the tasty meal, the Meganula sheds its skin and becomes an airborne dragonfly!

Godzilla, now on land, notices strange flying insects circling around him, what the Hell?!!

The things attack Big G and cause lots of pain after he toasts a bunch of them with his fiery breath. Our hero barely gets himself out of this mess before searching out Megaguirus.

Megaguirus is capable of hyper flight, its wings move so quickly, it demolishes buildings with sonic sound as it flies through the air! Again, I just love these shots of the destruction, they are so damn beautiful...

After Big G gets knocked out, he finally gets up from his nap and a bunch of junk is stuck to him including a freakin' hot dog stand!

The back and forth battle continues as the two titans duke it out, cool shots!

But that goddamn sonic bug just seems unstoppable...

So, the black hole device falls from a satellite and lands near Godzilla and Megaguirus as they continue to fight it out. After the explosion, the two monsters are gone, but, are they gone for good?!.. Tune in tomorrow as we keep plunking away, here, at The Dungeon!!

THE PINKY LEE SHOW (1950 - 1957)

Got them weenies ready, it's time for another Whack Off Wednesday in The Dungeon!

 Before Soupy Sales or Pee-wee Herman, there was a kraazy kid's TV show host named 
Pinky Lee!

 I know it's really hard to imagine, but when you only got three channels, this was hot shit!

And all the cute little kids in the audience got 'Pinky Pops.' and maybe if they're lucky, they might get a puppy!

They also had science!

And music!

Pinky brings out the very popular Molly Bee to sing "Sitting On Top Of The World," and she was because in 1952, Molly hit #19 on the Billboard charts with her version of "I Saw mommy Kissing Santa Claus!"

In 1967 Molly Bee was in the classic "Hillbillys In A Haunted House" with a completely different look!

Pinky Lee's name at birth was Pincus Leff!

Here's an awesome bit of information I found at the IMDB:
"Plagued by parental complaints that his frenetic kiddie show caused their children to misbehave, NBC toned down Pinky's show by limiting the destruction of property, bad grammar, squirting seltzer water, throwing things, name-calling and other antisocial behavior."
Well, that sure took a lot of the fun out of it!! What a bunch of spoilsports!

But it didn't stop Pinky from sharing the Pinky Pops!

At the end of this particular show, he even got some of the seemingly befuddled parents in the audience into the act!

Pinky Lee was popular enough that he even had his own comic book named after him!
Pinky Lee left us in 1993 at the age of  85 from a heart attack, but his contributions to entertainment history will last forever!

EVIL SPAWN / American Independent Productions - 1987

Here's a weird one from 1987, I'll let the bottom wordage explain the set up. Luckily, they didn't have to film any of that, just say it happened... Ahhh, that good old low budget suspension of disbelief!!.. Love that poster though!!

The flick stars shapely bombshell, Bobbie (MAUSOLEUM, GHOULIES, SURF NAZIS MUST DIE, MY LOVELY MONSTER) Bresee, as the vain Lynn Roman who wants to be beautiful forever using the alien microbes. John Carradine stars as Dr. Emil Zeitman in the last movie made while he was alive, he died in 1988. Also, this makes me mad, Forrest J. Ackerman plays the Pool Guy and gets deaded, but, I didn't get a still of that...

The action starts immediately and this youing punk gets his arm ripped off by an unknown creep that looks like some kind of monster dude!

Actually, John is in the movie for only a few minutes. I cannot believe his role, he dies (creepy) and they show his hands!!! Sorry, but, they just didn't need to do that.

Here's (woo woo!) Lynn Roman after she scores her alien microbes. She shoots up in the bathroom and starts feeling... Extra Sexy!!

At the pool, this gal feels a strange presence. She turns around and we get to see what monster Lynn sees! A really stupid effect!

Well, anyway, the monster does her thing and we get a beautiful dead nude in the pool! Nice!!

This guy tries to put the make on Lynn and she starts changing into the thing. And, this is just stage one of the weird transformation! Her hair really went to shit!

This is the final form of Lynn the monster. She looks something like an ugly alien cockroach!

WHO THE HELL'S OUT THERE?!!.. Dude gets in within the next minute.

Lynn's boyfriend goes to her house, he feels like something's up. On his way in, he finds this dried up corpse just hanging around. Then, he confronts Lynn the monster on the patio.

The cops show up and shoot the crap out of Lynn. She falls off the patio, dies, and changes back to herself. She actually bit her boydfriend and he get to end the movie with his transformation. So, there you have it, a weird one to be sure, check it out if you can...
