Svengoolie on Tonight's Screening of "War of the Colossal Beast": "We've mentioned, this 1958 film is 'sort of' a sequel to American International's 'The Amazing Colossal Man'- it even includes some footage from that movie in a flashback (by the way, be watching at the very end of the film for a gimmick we have seen in another AIP movie!) We will again explain during the movie the reason we have not been able to show the original film due to rights issues- which is, the widow of one of the producers holds the rights to that and a handful of other American International films, and will not grant them to anyone-because she was upset with the treatment of some of the films by the 'Mystery Science Theatre' crew. We'll provide background about the film, talk about the cast, present a commercial for an item to add to your dinner menu, add in a colossal song, and get another visit from Nostalgiaferatoo- plus some celebrity visits including the charming Dana Delorenzo and our friend Kane Hodder- who played Jason Voorhees in several 'Friday the 13th' films, as well as supernatural slasher Victor Crowley.
