with Dmetri Kakmi The Blood on Satan’s Claw England 1971 Director: Piers Haggard Cast: Patrick Wymark, Linda Hayden, Barry Andrews, Michele Dotrice, the Beast My first encounter with this low-budget gem was on late-night television.

The Curator of Schlock #359: Hypnotic
I walked through the aftermath of the fentanyl cloud, searching for Edwige, my kangaroo companion from my misadventures in North America. I feared for the worst as I came upon the bodies of the Goose Lord Gang, littered across the marina. A figure slumped toward me. It was the Goose Lord. Whatever was left of… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #358: The Cell
That reptile part of my brain made me run like hell from the certain death that a cloud of fentanyl would deliver. Choked screams rang out in the chill of the night as the cloud devoured the gang of miscreants that was the Goose Lord gang. I finally stopped, panting for breath and looking behind… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #355: Night of the Comet
Night of the Comet “What are your plans, you fiend?” I asked glaring at the Goose Lord. Edwige, my kangaroo companion from my misadventures in North America, was tethered between the conducting rails of a mass driver. She wriggled to get free, but it was no use. The Goose Lord squeezed my cheeks with his… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #359: The Chronicles of Riddick
Edwige hopped toward the Enforcer of the Goose Lord and then stopped five feet in front of him. I’d seen that stance before. It’s what she used once before committing a fatal blow, one she delivered with a flying roundhouse. Edwige made her move, but so did the Enforcer. He brandished a chain whip that… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #357: City of the Living Dead
I heard a dog howl. And then another dog howled. And then many dogs howled. Edwige awoke, rattled from the noise. “Those aren’t dogs,” the Revenging Manta whispered in my ear. I looked in the rearview window and saw dozens if not hundreds of bandana wearing goons as far as I could see. The Goose… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #356: Macabre
We waited under the cover of night for the Goose Lord and his gang to make a move at the Monroe Harbour Marina. Since Edwige, Revenging Manta, and I were all dead-dog tired, we had Albert Simmons stand watch and wake us when anything unusual happened. I dozed off and woke up about half past… Continue reading
