This stuff is before my time, but I do miss horror movies being played late night. Have fond memories of USA Up All Night playing all the great slasher movies



And I first watched MST3K when it was played late night on local TV. Watching it at 1:00 AM added a lot to the charm of the show.

I know the feeling because I'm too chilled to the bone to watch the horrors of Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Lindsay Graham & Bill Barr. Now that's scary stuff!

Tonight I watched a triple feature of BUG, FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD & WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS because I couldn't sleep. I do that quite often. Stay up very late watching movies until all hours. And, quite often they're old monster movies from my youth. And, the three that I watched tonight were old favorites of mine.
BUG was from 1975 & I saw it at the drive-in with my parents when I was a kid. It's the old thriller about a strange species of roach that spills out of the earth after a quake & the carnage that they cause because they're able to start fires. There are several grim set pieces of folks being burned alive by the nasty critters but perhaps the most disturbing scene is when they first come out of the crevasse & attack a cat. It bugged me as a kid ( no pun intended ) & the scene is still just as effective 40 some odd years later.
FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD is the 1965 Japanese film featuring a giant Frankenstein's monster because... well, why not? LOL. And, GARGANTUAS is the 1966 sequel to FRANKENSTEIN in which the monster's twin offspring run amok across Japan battling one another. Both films were two of my absolute favorite monster movies. Even more so than Godzilla's many exploits in his movies.
I don't always watch old creature features when I stay up into the wee hours like this. On other occasions, I watch more modern horror films or Asian action films whatever I'm in the mood for. Sometimes I even mix & match the genres. Anything to occupy my eyes & my brain usually while I'm also here on Sherdog & elsewhere on the web in order to placate my ADD. Some might hate dealing with ADD & insomnia like I do but I make it entertaining for myself.

Yes. Almost all of them. I cant explain why to people other than I think they are just really fun to watch and interesting.

Indeed. Those that involve creatures of this kind...

When I was a kid we had creature double feature but it was on Saturday in the early afternoon. I wasted many a nice Sat in front of the TV watching the classics. Godzilla, King Kong, The Gargantuan brothers....

I dont go past the late 70's, I also don't really know where to find movies that old.

However I love horror movies. Slasher flicks and monster/alien movies are my favs

Amazon Prime has a ton of old horror/monster movies as does Starz & Netflix's DVD/Blu-ray service.

This used to be my jam back in the day. Stay at my cousins and watch it on the weekend and stuff.

Me too. I'm really a 'night owl'. I like the peace and quiet of late night and early morning. We are also older than most of these younger guys. It's been a complete change for me after retiring from the military. Early to bed and early to rise. Like 5:00 am, and PT before breakfast. Done with that...

Yes, sir. I'm rarely in bed before 4:00 AM these days & then I usually wake up by about 10:00 AM.
And, during those late night hours, I'm almost always multi-tasking by watching movies & surfing the web.
Do you have any particular favorites that you watch? I usually mix things up by watching a mix of old favorites & catching up on newer genre films.

I now have Netflix and Amazon, so the selection is always wide, but not always good. I like documentary and war movies. Sci-Fi movies are great, but good ones are hard to find. Just waiting for new ones to come out. Horror is also good but also hard to find. 'Forensic Files' is always a good fall back option.

Watched this one a few nights ago. Very good. "Message Man", 2018:
