Night Gallery episode 5: Pamela’s Voice/Lone Survivor/The Doll
Originally appearing on January 13, 1971, the fifth episode of Night Gallery has at least two solid tales to deliver. “Pamela’s Voice” pits Jonathan (John Astin) against his wife Pamela (Phyllis Diller), ending with him killing her because he’s sick of hearing her voice. Yet even death can’t stop her from haranguing him in this story directed […]
AMANDO DE OSSORIO WEEK: The Sea Serpent (1985)
Also known as Monster of the Deep and Hydra, this movie is somehow from 1985 with a very 1955 concept: an American bomber drops a bomb into the ocean to keep it out of Russian hands and releases an ancient prehistoric monster.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This first appeared on September 24, 2019.

AMANDO DE OSSORIO WEEK: Scream of the Blind Dead (2021)

AMANDO DE OSSORIO WEEK: Graveyard of the Dead (2009)
Also known as Erotic Nights of the Blind Dead and El Retorno de los Templarios, this shot on video homage to the work of Amando de Ossorio can’t live up to the master but it tries with more screams and more sleaze than even he would try. I mean, the main story is about Miranda being […]
