I think this one has my favorite intro that James does. It just has that nostalgic feel to it. Like when the camera zooms in on the window and it pans to his room. Sort of like what the old school hosts used to do.
Fun fact: Day of the Dead opening where the people are shouting "Helloooooo, is anyone there?! Hellooooooo" is in the beginning of one of the songs by Gorillaz
@1:51:44 When Gamera starts playing Zigra's back like a xylophone and just loses his fkn mind and starts rocking and dancing is the funniest monster thing ever.
1:51:50 in Gamera vs Zigra, Gamera plays Zigra's backbone like a xylophone but clearly each one of his spinal bones produce multiple tones! What are we supposed to believe this is some kind of magic xylophone or something??
So to explain Waylen company's scheme. They wanted the Nostromo crew to pick up the alien, have the alien kill everybody so that the ship could go derelict in space and then waylene company would send a "rescue" team to declare it abandoned by the crew, then they could tow the ship as salvage and basically smuggle the alien into one of their faculties without the knowledge of any government authority and study it off the books for weapons and medical research and development. When Ripley blew up the ship, it threw a wrench in their plans and they assumed everyone was dead which is why they didn't go looking for the "lifeboat" Ripley was in and she was left to float in space for 60 years...I think it was 60 years.
Monster Madness is an event that I have always looked forward to for almost a decade now. It's my equivalent of the Great Pumpkin special during my Halloween season. Thanks James. Also thanks Mike and anyone else from the past who took time to work on any past "MM" projects. It's clear that it's all done in a labor of love and passion. 🤘🤘
in regards to Day of the Dead, when I was a kid I cheered for Sarah and the scientists. As an adult, after watching the movie several times, I understand, empathize and cheer for Cpt. Rhodes and his men.
2:50:50-a zombie Hari Krishner, that was funny. He could have been holding dead flowers, they used to hand them out at airports. I remember seeing them a lot in the 70's.
Yea to probably bash the movies 😅😅 They aren't great movies. They are ok movies with good moments. No matter how good James makes them sound, they are slow. But they have their charms.
I still have at least 3 of the Universal Monster Stamp pins that they made wayyy back in the day. I had The Phantom of the Opera, Frankenstein, The Mummy, Dracula and the Wolf Man. Sadly I only have 3 left
I think in Aliens the company has been trying to find the crashed ship since the colony started but were for some reason unable till Ripley is recovered its not to unreasonable to think there might have been a back up of Nostromo's blackbox on the escape pod - I think there is a scene in the special edition that shows Berk making a phone call after her expended debriefing scene which might tie into that version's new starting scenes, we see one of the higher ups of the colony telling Newt's father that they just got a request to check out some map coordinates and they have an quick exchange to the effect of Boss "hey I need to you go check this area out" Father "why we surveyed that area before" Boss "Hell if I know but those are the orders the company sent" then they both repeat a kind of "dont ask dont tell" slogan that shows they have been dealing with corporational BS for years.
I’ve never actually watched those movies Dracula Frankenstein and the mummy So I am in A great place to watch these with all of this awesome context and I will probably enjoy them more more than I would without the context
Have a question for the cinemassacre community. Do you all think James should review movies based off HP Lovecraft stories for a monster madness? I'm curious as to what he'll say personally.
I already commented this but I'll comment again: I hope you also release a compilation like this for 2017's Kong-a-thon! That marathon deserves to be watched side by side with all the Monster Madnesses! (also 2017 was one of those MM editions with just a handful of videos, so this would make up for it!)
I thought alien 3 could of been better the threat wasn't that threatening ending was powerful and brave. Alien 4 is all about the science doctor and the madness you would need to want to create such a monster.
Speaking of sequelathon i wonder how long until we get sequelathon 3 were james roulte reviews the classic dracula series, the showa godzilla series, jaws and scream: Here's the list: 1: dracula (1931) 2: dracula's daughter (1936) 3: son of dracula (1943) 4: house of dracula (1945) 5: godzilla (1954) 6: godzilla raids again (1955) 7: king kong vs godzilla (1962) 8: mothra vs godzilla (1964) 9: ghidorah the three headed monster (1964) 10: invasion of the astro monster (1965) 11: ebirah horror of the deep (1966) 12: son of godzilla (1967) 13: destroy all monsters (1968) 14: godzilla's revenge (1969) 15: godzilla vs hedorah (1971) 16: godzilla vs gigan (1972) 17: godzilla vs megalon (1973) 18: godzilla vs mechagodzilla (1974) 19: terror of mechagodzilla (1975) 20: jaws (1975) 21: jaws 2 (1978) 22: jaws 3d (1983) 23: jaws 4 (1987) 24: jaws 5 (1995) 25: scream (1996) 26: scream 2 (1997) 27: scream 3 (2000) 28: scream 4 (2011) 29: scream 5 (2022) 30: scream 6 (2023) 31: the best of sequelathon 3
He already reviewed House of Dracula and the Showa Godzilla series. He could do commentary on House of Dracula or something. He briefly covered the Jaws sequels in his Top 40 Shitty Shark movies, but it might be worth going into detail.
I still drop in from time to time to see how James is doing. Im an original Cinemassacre fan, from day 1. Im probably one of the earliest fans. Its cool to see him uploading sone of his old MM series. This season of MM was after i stopped watching James' stuff religiously, but i still saw a few of these. Side note; anyone remember how sketchy the screwsttack website was? It would almotnever load the videos. Lmao. I miss the old Internet sometimes.
On Prometheus, you say "Ridley Scott returned to explore the universe he created." This seems like a weird thing for someone who has covered Dan O'Bannon films to say. Ridley Scott was hired by the studio to direct "Alien " That doesn't mean he "created the universe" of a movie written by other people with a famous monster he didn't create either. Particularly odd, since when you get to "Alien Resurrection" you credit the film entirely to screenwriter Joss Whedon, never mentioning the name of the director who likely added much of the bizarre slapstick humor elements, given the tone of his other work.
Freddy has the finger knives glove . Jason has the machete . Michael has the kitchen knife . Charlie has the nuce rope . Doctor Macoy : " well in that case .... now wait just a damn minute here . " who the goddamb hell is Charlie we didn't get to see or know about that guy just a spirit that hangs people folks it was such a disappointment so no credit for that one . and I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger on those who attempt to poison and deatroy my brothers .
1:42:29 Actually James, Monster X's second form Keizer Ghidorah is not King Ghidorah but rather another member of the Ghidorah race much like Death Ghidorah from Rebirth of Mothra. Keizer was made for a stand in for King.
It's been quite a while since you posted this, but I'd offer an alternative view of Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell's ending. Note how utterly unaffected Frankenstein is by the monster's death, simply saying "probably the best thing for him" and laying plans for the next one. It's the capstone of his decline over the whole series -- from a driven man with something to prove to a madman trapped by his own habits. He makes monsters because ... that's what he does, there's no point to it anymore and yet he can't see anything else to do. He's like someone who started a marriage passionately in love, now can't stand his spouse, but thinks getting a divorce is too much hassle. Or a sculptor who dreamed of creating brilliant art but now designs toys for cereal boxes because she has a mortgage. From that perspective it's a tragic end IMO.
1:52:40 - 1:54:12 I found Super Monster so frustrating as a Clip Show film. I feel like they really wanted to focus on the Super Power Ranger Women plotline, but knew nobody cared about it, so they tried to hook in Gamera fans with stock footage, along with footage from Leiji Matsumoto media lile classic Captain Harlock, Space Battleship Yamamoto, and Galaxy Express 999.
James, I love what you've done. You've turned me onto everything from classic video games to old horror films. Those people out there making AI videos to dis cinemassacre are full of shit. You're the real deal
At one point they actually did plan to do a Destroy All Monsters type of Gamera film Would have seen an alliance of Gamera’s past alien villains invade earth, with all their monsters from previous films and a new 2 headed Dragon who would kill Gamera Gamera would then be brought back to life by an alien race of starfish people from another daiei film, Warning From Space They would then resurrect Barugon, Gyaos and Jiger to help Gamera in the fight. One of Gamera’s allies would have also been the Whale God from another Daiei monster movie
Sorry, James, but Godzilla and Gamera will NEVER fight each other in a movie. Both Toho and Daiei have stated that they won't allow it. But y'know what would be even better? Having the two monsters meet and join forces to take down a bigger threat. I mean, Godzilla teamed up with monsters like Anguirus, Mothra, Rodan, and even Jet Jaguar way back in the classic era, and he teamed up with Moguera in Godzilla VS SpaceGodzilla, so why not team up with Gamera?
Love ya James, but killer mummies aren't popular because they pose no real threat. The movies relied on suspense mostly, but In my opinion, is a monumental accomplishment they managed to make a slow AF mummy scary. Just run!
Falling asleep to these every night for years
same love them hehe
Same here
me too!! then waking up hearing a scream and ur like im a wake!!
@@OwlDago.Depends on the night for me lol
@@nicholasbintner4677 Cool i think its easier listening on tv.
0:00 The Mummy Series
29:02 Hammer's Frankenstein Series
1:10:47 The Gamera Series
2:00:47 The Alien Series
2:43:30 The Dawn of the Dead Series
Thank you
Cheers mate
17 years laters and we are finally getting something gamera related on Netflix.
I think this one has my favorite intro that James does. It just has that nostalgic feel to it. Like when the camera zooms in on the window and it pans to his room. Sort of like what the old school hosts used to do.
This is PEAK Monster Madness, I feel like James is talking you at a movie store
I've watched all of them for years, but this one might be my all-time favorite🎃
Fun fact: Day of the Dead opening where the people are shouting "Helloooooo, is anyone there?! Hellooooooo" is in the beginning of one of the songs by Gorillaz
For some reason that scared me a little as a young teen lol
Ha cool I love that song.😊
Filmed in my hometown.
Hammer loved using the names Hans and Karl - i wonder if Die Hard naming two of the lead villains these names had any connection.
I never thought about it that way. You never know. It is possible.
@1:51:44 When Gamera starts playing Zigra's back like a xylophone and just loses his fkn mind and starts rocking and dancing is the funniest monster thing ever.

Dr Frankenstein after his 4t death: Alright I'm gonna be Doctor Doctor now but then I'm done for.
Monster Madness is an event that I have always looked forward to for almost a decade now. It's my equivalent of the Great Pumpkin special during my Halloween season. Thanks James. Also thanks Mike and anyone else from the past who took time to work on any past "MM" projects. It's clear that it's all done in a labor of love and passion. 🤘🤘
My nickname is turtle so Gamera is my boy...giggle
Snap snap snap...I love Peter Cushing. He didn't mince his words...smile
I was able to find over 80 classic monster movies at my local thrift stores for $.59 to $1.99
I have most of these
“The monster can destroy anything… with its TONGUE!!!” (One of my all time favorite lines 😉)
1:08:15 Old man trying to cop a feel LOL
in regards to Day of the Dead, when I was a kid I cheered for Sarah and the scientists.
As an adult, after watching the movie several times, I understand, empathize and cheer for Cpt. Rhodes and his men.
2:50:50-a zombie Hari Krishner, that was funny. He could have been holding dead flowers, they used to hand them out at airports. I remember seeing them a lot in the 70's.
Ha he said they try to wrap it up quickly for the mummy’s hand 😂😂 good shit
Just wait. Once James' kids are old enough to watch these movies with him, Monster Madness will be back in full swing. Can't wait.
Good point.
I hope. I really do hope.
Yea to probably bash the movies 😅😅 They aren't great movies. They are ok movies with good moments. No matter how good James makes them sound, they are slow. But they have their charms.
1:54:08 lol, that sign says さらば /saraba, Goodbye/ ドジラ /Dojira/ instead of ゴジラ /Gojira/
Current day Louisiana isn't as advanced as what was portrayed in The Mummy's Curse. 😝
I'm happy to see this finally officially on RUclips unaltered.
Funny that you mention Karloff's height. He was barely 5'11.
The movie with the guy's brain in the woman monster makes me think of something Karl Pilkington would come up with.
Alien Resurrection is wildly underrated.
I have to give James credit for my new found respect for the universal monster
I still have at least 3 of the Universal Monster Stamp pins that they made wayyy back in the day. I had The Phantom of the Opera, Frankenstein, The Mummy, Dracula and the Wolf Man. Sadly I only have 3 left
21:02 Drunken Kharis SMASH!!!
The Mummy just lost his cool!
Just like the movies, i can watch these over and over again. Thanks James and crew!
I think in Aliens the company has been trying to find the crashed ship since the colony started but were for some reason unable till Ripley is recovered its not to unreasonable to think there might have been a back up of Nostromo's blackbox on the escape pod - I think there is a scene in the special edition that shows Berk making a phone call after her expended debriefing scene which might tie into that version's new starting scenes, we see one of the higher ups of the colony telling Newt's father that they just got a request to check out some map coordinates and they have an quick exchange to the effect of Boss "hey I need to you go check this area out" Father "why we surveyed that area before" Boss "Hell if I know but those are the orders the company sent" then they both repeat a kind of "dont ask dont tell" slogan that shows they have been dealing with corporational BS for years.
My nickname was/is turtle, so guess who my hero is...lmbo
I’m hammered as hell and have stumpled upon this and it’s awesome
1:22:46 I called that a Manwich!
I’ve never actually watched those movies Dracula Frankenstein and the mummy
So I am in A great place to watch these with all of this awesome context and I will probably enjoy them more more than I would without the context
This man knows what I need...
1:37:49 Crow: Eh, quit while you're a head!
Joel and Tom Servo: CROW!!!
Crow: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, aaaagh!
*Tom Servo crying*
great compilation ... highly enjoyable review of all the best and some of the worst!!
2023, 11 year old video still inspiring people to go back and watch these movies!🙏🏻
The point is James, they're dancing...together. Lmbo
My stepfather gave us all nicknames as children and used animals. Because he thought I did everything slowly, I was a turtle, therefore I am Gamera...
My grandpa gave us nicknames too. Mine was “Packie” idk why lol
Have a question for the cinemassacre community. Do you all think James should review movies based off HP Lovecraft stories for a monster madness? I'm curious as to what he'll say personally.
That would be great I just worry a lot of it could have been covered by his 80’sthon
@@30fimswell there are plenty of movies made all the way through the modern day. Even some inspired by his works as well.
James should say the name of Lovecraft's cat.
Gamera!!!!!
Gameraaaaaa!!!!!
He will take you to his van,
Touch you like no other can.
Please don't tell on GAMERA!!!!
...No really...
-Boomstick
Oh Karlstad like Carl's Bad from the Family Matters Halloween episode. I get it now!
Squidward tried to warn y'all...
If he does one next year, it would be great to see his favourite MST3K eps
I already commented this but I'll comment again: I hope you also release a compilation like this for 2017's Kong-a-thon!
That marathon deserves to be watched side by side with all the Monster Madnesses!

How does Lady Frankenstein fit into all this?
Blacula used the exact same plot as this the Lord's love reincarnation
I can't resist singing M1A1 when i watch day of the dead
Great as always! but it's Nicotero, not Nicoreto...

Yeh right lol
Came ver close to being called , "The Mummulus."
Thank you James
Wait at 03:14 is that Ellie Nash's and Ashley Kervin's piercing dude?! 😮 3 hrs 14 seconds
Please watch this while high.
I usually do lololol
2:34:17 You Son of a B***h!
Best bit from Predator (1987)
Great timing for another Monster Madness Compilation video with Sequel-A-Ton 2 included Alien series!
Excellent Choice!
Had to skip over the Gamera series. I only saw one was the second movie but it just didn’t click with me, so I never bothered with any of the others.
Great Sequel-A-Thon!!! Thank you 🙏

I like the good old fashioned Frankenstein with the square head...giggle
@2:39:22 I respectfully disagree with James here. I think Lex Woods is pretty memorable. She is a badass but in a different way from Ripley
THE BEST MONSTER MADNESS EVER!!!
1:53:44 *Gamera: I'm had it with these Kenny Kids, I want out! KAMIKAZE*
*BOOM*
And Gamera Died!
*Kenny: Gamera could never die...*
He is now, kid!
What's that LL Cool J song that talks about sharks?
Ugh, why vodka of all spirits. It tastes like death, wait..
Gamera is really neat! Gamera is full of meat!
1:42:29 Actually James, Monster X's second form Keizer Ghidorah is not King Ghidorah but rather another member of the Ghidorah race much like Death Ghidorah from Rebirth of Mothra. Keizer was made for a stand in for King.
It's been quite a while since you posted this, but I'd offer an alternative view of Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell's ending. Note how utterly unaffected Frankenstein is by the monster's death, simply saying "probably the best thing for him" and laying plans for the next one. It's the capstone of his decline over the whole series -- from a driven man with something to prove to a madman trapped by his own habits. He makes monsters because ... that's what he does, there's no point to it anymore and yet he can't see anything else to do. He's like someone who started a marriage passionately in love, now can't stand his spouse, but thinks getting a divorce is too much hassle. Or a sculptor who dreamed of creating brilliant art but now designs toys for cereal boxes because she has a mortgage. From that perspective it's a tragic end IMO.
And play " I Wanna Sex You Up" while he's...you know
Land of the dead is very fitting for the past 3 years
Can’t stop watching
Like a morbid Romeo and Juliet.
1:52:40 - 1:54:12 I found Super Monster so frustrating as a Clip Show film.

I hope you also upload your commentary of Night of the Living Dead 🎃
Good ol days of monster madness😢
You're Robert Ebert...giggle
Not to be confused with Malcolm ...lmbo
At one point they actually did plan to do a Destroy All Monsters type of Gamera film
Would have seen an alliance of Gamera’s past alien villains invade earth, with all their monsters from previous films and a new 2 headed Dragon who would kill Gamera
Gamera would then be brought back to life by an alien race of starfish people from another daiei film, Warning From Space
They would then resurrect Barugon, Gyaos and Jiger to help Gamera in the fight.
One of Gamera’s allies would have also been the Whale God from another Daiei monster movie
I've always loved the Monster Madness videos
I love the Abbott Costello version just about anything that they star in my favorite is Abbott and Costello meets Frankenstein
44:14 lemme guess? now he goes by Focter Drankenstein?
Sorry, James, but Godzilla and Gamera will NEVER fight each other in a movie. Both Toho and Daiei have stated that they won't allow it. But y'know what would be even better? Having the two monsters meet and join forces to take down a bigger threat.
