A while ago I was contacted by Josh Hadley to do a guest spot as Dr. Insano for his stations Halloween screening of Bram Stokers Dracula. It was a lot of fun and I, being a media whore, jumped at the chance to appear on TV.
A short time later he asked me if I was interested in a guest star spot on his new show, It Came From Beyond Midnight, really just a late-late-late night (so late its almost early morning the next day) screening of godawful b-movies from the station vaults and the dredges of the public domain archives. He had an idea for a snobbish, hates-everything douchebag film critic (which was actually something of a challenge because I rather liked most of these movies), and so I got to work creating my pink polo-wearing twerp Leslie Striker, embittered film nerd. Clever followers will note that the entire character is a barely-concealed middle-finger pointed squarely at the worst wrestling color commentator to soil the ringside area since Mike Adamle.
Anyhoo, we filmed four episodes for television before I was made aware that the show was canceled before it even aired, at the literal 11th hour before its debut. Its a real shame, because as a chronic insomniac, this is the exact kind of show I would have loved to watch on the fuzzy UHF channel in the dark watches of the night. Indeed, its the exact sort of channel that brought me such gems as Wheels on Meals, The Clones of Bruce Lee, and Yor: The Hunter From the Future. Josh has been great and showed a lot of spirit in continuing to produce the show. He wants to keep this going, and Im all for it. In a way, being freed from the shackles of broadcast television could be a huge boon. Now were not limited by time or the laws of human decency, so Leslie can hang around for more than 3 minutes at a time and maybe even throw a few f-bombs if need be.
And Ive seen the next ten movies. There will be a need.
Theres more coming. I hope you enjoy the movies!
A word from show creator Josh Hadley
Hi, Josh Hadley here, you might remember me from the Halloween special in which Dr. Insano appeared (that most people here hated but what the hell).
What you are going to see for the next 26 weeks or so are segments of my show It Came From Beyond Midnight, which was to air on Green Bay TV starting a few weeks ago, that fell apart due to some
.. creative differences between me and the station (they wanted to censor the shit of these host segments, and as you will see I was pretty tame in these, since I knew they were for TV but the station still had a problem). Sadly, with the show dead on Green Bay TV and already having 6 episodes shot and edited, I said fuck them and decided to put them all on the net, movie included (other then covering tits and vag I have left the movies unedited). So you will get our segments, and part of the movie in each of these. Most of these will be movies that you have never seen (I hope anyway) and I also hope you will enjoy them and forgive me for not being that funny, that was not the goal of the show, I wanted it to be more like we were watching and discussing the movie with you, and maybe say some funny shit now and then.
Also, please forgive the quality of the host segments for the first few, we shot those first 4 in one night
and then discovered the camera had shutter issues, and there is only so much I can do in post to fix it, so if you want to bitch about how we are not funny of we just outright suck, thats cool, but please no ragging on about the video quality, it was beyond our control at that point (it gets better I promise). Myself and my co-host were also very unsure of what we were doing in these early ones, so again, we just suck, sorry (but there is a guest shot in each episode that I promise IS funny).
Another note, the first 6 of these were the ones shot for TV, so they are relatively tame, after that, I dont go nuts but knowing they are going to air on the net, I changed it up some.
