“The Being” 1983
Radio Blue Heart presents TALES FROM THE PUBLIC DOMAIN!
Episode 1: Horror Express (aka Pánico en el Transiberiano/Panic on the Trans-Siberian Express)
Starring Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Telly Savalas
In 1906, a British anthropologist finds an ape-like creature in a cave in northern China. He ships it on the Trans-Siberian Express where it comes to life and starts killing passengers. Whats worse is that it is not the creature itself but a malevolent entity that possesses it. Its sort of like “John Carpenter’s The Thing” set on a train in Czarist Russia.

A demon in human form preys on lonely travelers in the Namibian desert.
PROJECT: METALBEAST
One of my all time favorite werewolf movies!!!
Why no DVD release for this low budget classic?!
“They wanted a soldier as hard as steel… They created a creature that could not be destroyed!”
Buried deep in the vaults of the CIA’s laboratories, sealed in a frozen cryonic chamber is a secret that’s been dying to be reborn for over 20 years.
With the discovery that government agents have perfected a way to create living “metal” skin, warped scientist Pete Miller seizes his chance to reactivate a forgotten experiment that died with his partner years before…
Now he has the perfect test patient waiting on ice… But this is no ordinary corpse, it’s a beast immortalized by three silver bullets!
“The Mummy and the Curse of the Jackal” aka “The Mummy vs The Were-Jackal
When a great concept is wasted…
A reanimated Egyptian battling a Jackal man (were-jackal?) in Las Vegas for a reincarnated Egyptian princess. Would make a great fantasy monster movie if not for miniscule budget and lack of filmmaking talent. That same year, footage from this was used in "Dracula, The Dirty Old Man” which used bad movie footage with a wacky dub job.
