Si può essere più bastardi dell'ispettore Cliff? (Blue Movie Blackmail, 1973)
"I was forced to. They blackmailed me, I swear. What can I do?"
"To start with, you can pass me the marmalade."

The Manster (1959)
My rating: 6/10
At its heart, a fairly average 50s monster movie, with the rubber prostheses and the yelling and lumbering and all that, with a sort of "involuntary Jekyll and Hyde" angle, and there really was no reason to set it in Japan. But there was no reason not to, either, and the fact that they did diversified the cast quite a bit - they hired Japanese-American and Japanese actors (apart from the female lead, who was mixed-race), too, so there's no yellowface - and there seems to be a fairly earnest attempt at a respectful and accurate portrayal of contemporary Japanese culture. Not bad, for a movie called The Manster.
That little model volcano going off in the background near the end was adorable, though.

“SEE THE TWO-HEADED KILLER CREATURE!” screams the tagline from The Manster, half man-half monster. The Grue-Crew follows the cast and crew to Japan for this delightfully silly, yet oddly effective, late 50’s creature feature. The results are part Jekyll and Hyde, part pre-Cronenberg body horror (RE: an eye growing out of the hero’s – or is it the villain’s – shoulder). Don’t let the title fool you, this one deserves a Saturday afternoon Monster-kid viewing. Check out what the Grue-Crew think with episode 159.
At the time of this writing, The Manster is available to stream from Amazon Prime in B&W and colorized versions, and from Tubi.
Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror: The Classic Era records a new episode every two weeks. Up next in their very flexible schedule, as chosen by Daphne, is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920) starring John Barrymore! This will be the Classic Era Grue Crew’s ninth journey to Silent Screamland. Yup, Chad’s going to have to read intertitles again.

The Manster (1959/1962)
Bruce Robinson with How to Get Ahead in Advertising, Sam Raimi with Army of Darkness, and how many others watched The Manster on Elvira’s Movie Macabre and pocketed the idea away for a future film? One of which is #120 in the Criterion Collection. I’ll let you guess which one.
Experiments gone wrong, an American reporter lured by a Japanese lab assistant, a determined doctor, and the inevitable end.
I don’t remember seeing this one on Elvira’s Movie Macabre, which I swear to baby jesus I watched every week. But that was ... 40 years ago. The horror. Literally.
B Horror movies have long held a fascination for me. Now I know they are the seed for other, prettier, more flushed-out storytelling. But the start - the beginning - the genesis if you will - starts with B.
