Mr. Lobo's "Cinema Insomnia" is now available as an initial set of three, glorious releases through Alpha Video (oldies.com).
First up is the Arch Hall Sr. favorite, "Eegah!", starring the towering Richard Kiel in the titular role (a resurrected caveman, no less), along with Arch Hall Jr, Marilyn Manning and Ray Dennis "Cash Flagg" Steckler.
The shot-in-color, knuckle-dragging "Eegah!" played the drive-in circuit in its day and is now enhanced by Mr. Lobo's parenthesizing presence. Mr. Lobo even presents the film via a specialized, Nose-O-Vision process, making this great, "misunderstood" entry all the greater.
Next up is a tribute to California's beloved "Creature Features" host, Bob Wilkins, packed with historic segments and insightful interludes. Watching Mr. Lobo and Mr. Wilkins team for the disc's content is a treat not to be missed. (For the record, Mr. Wilkins inspired Mr. Lobo to create "Cinema Insomnia". If that's not significant, I don't know what is.) "The Bob Wilkins Halloween Special" is a veritable classic that horror-hosting fans are certain to relish and revisit.
Last but not least is "Cinema Insomnia's Haunted House Special", where our intrepid Mr. Lobo visits an abode of comedic fright upon an ambitious Halloween night. He's joined by his fellow "Totally Fake Ghostbusters" (horror hosts Dick Dyszel, Jerry Moore, John Dimes and Rich Koz) as they explore the mysterious Chestburster House to prove that no real ghosts roam within. Laughs, chills and a heap of haunted-house movie trailers (plus a thematically related Popeye cartoon) spill forth in this energetic entry from the one, the only (drum roll, please) Mr. Lobo.
