Netflix’s recent cancellation of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 revival is disappointing, but thankfully the series leaves an extensive back catalog to enjoy. While nearly every episode of the show is available in various collections courtesy of Shout Factory, select episodes occasionally make their way onto other releases. Such is the case with The Film Detective’s new edition of Eegah, which includes the 1962 film in its original form along with the 1993 episode of MST3K in which it’s featured.
Marketed as a horror movie (tagline: “The name written in blood!”), the plot revolves around the titular
Eegah (Richard Kiel, The Spy Who Loved Me), a seven-foot caveman stereotype, complete with an animal hide smock, a huge club, and a cave dwelling. He emerges from the California desert and kidnaps a teenage girl, Roxy (Marilyn Manning), prompting her boyfriend, Tom (Arch Hall Jr.), to come to the rescue. The film culminates with the towering neanderthal following them back to civilization and crashing their party.

This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
