DIE MONSTER DIE!

[@kevinr.3542]

The blond actor in Die Monster Die, Nick Adams has an interesting story. He wss in Rebel Without a Cause with James Dean and was one of the first actors to be scandalized in the tabloids for his unsavory behavior. He was rumoured to be involved in a homosexual relationship with James Dean and the King himself, Elvis Presley. He was also accused of being someone who takes advantage of Hollywood stars in order to further his own stardom. After James Dean died he did many interviews about his friendship with him, and wrote a book about it. His Wikipedia page has all the dirt, I forget all the details but I got the impression that Nick Adams was quite the character.

James could've done better than this guy.

[@kevinr.3542]

I believe he died from a drug overdose or something tragic. I first saw him in "Invasion of The Astro Monster". Its a Godzilla type movie and hes the only white guy. But he looked kind of Japanese in it so I was confused and had to look him up.

His kids were 7 and 8 years old when he died. I read what they remember about their father and it seemed like he was more focused on himself then them after his divorce.

[@garrick3727]

I like how the village is called Arkham, the family is called "Whitley" (close to "Whateley") and there is a cult of the old ones. Terrible film takes influence from H.P. Lovecraft and then does nothing interesting with it. I guess they couldn't resist turning Boris Karloff into some kind of glowing Frankenstein's monster at the end.

[@floraposteschild4184]

[@Boognish27]

Yeah, this was intended to be a loose adaptation of The Colour Out of Space like Mark mentions, but they kinda apparently just sorta did their own thing with it, it seems. XD Glowing Boris Karloff = always a highlight!

[@pirateskeleton7828]

When he was walking to the house, I thought of “the blasted heath” from Colour out of Space. The family being shunned and having book referencing a cult that worshipped “the outer ones” was also a pretty obvious reference. And the Mark just flat out said that it was based on the story. Good effort considering the effects and sensibilities of the time.
