For day 2 of Monster week we've been forced to substitute "Wolfman" with 1972's "ZaAT", as presented by Mystery Science Theater 3000.
There's not much to be said about this. While last night's bad costumes and action were reminiscent of classic Kirk-era Star Trek, this had more in common with bad 50's/60's monsters: The lumbering, emotionless, man in a bad rubberized suit. Half the time I thought the actor was literally drunk and stumbling through the set. The narration was pure corn and the plot made almost no sense. I really am thankful that scifi and horror have grown past this as genres. Also, the MST3K crew's jokes and associated skits were pretty funny as usual and definitely kept my interest over the hour and a half of ZaAT's run time.
Since there is no mail delivered on Sunday, tomorrow will be "The Host", an import from Korea.
