Here we are in the thick of summer, and I haven’t even tackled the most sacred of small screen horror, the apex of ‘70s paranoia, the invasion of killer African bees! Boy oh boy did this one gain some traction in the decade, with at least four films (big and small) feeding off this particular frenzy. The Savage Bees (1976) proved so successful for NBC that they came out with a sequel two years later; but people will remember this one for its strong performances, solid science (I guess), and bonkers ending.
Originally airing on Monday, November 22nd as the NBC Monday Night at the Movies, The Savage Bees was up against The ABC Monday Night Movie while CBS trotted out Maude/All’s Fair/The Andros Targets. As I’ve only heard of one show in CBS’ lineup one can assume that the Peacock rustled all the feathers that night.

I highly recommend checking out their website! They have won…...

9 Great Posters for 9 Not-So-Great Movies (that I Haven't Seen) If you missed it, yesterday I explored 11 great posters from 11 not-so-great movies, and I promised today I would take a slightly different angle at the same idea. Yesterday's 11 posters were for films I had seen, today's collection come from nine films I have never seen and I can't take full credit for this list. After I had compiled a list of my own I reached out to a few friends and one of them provided me a Ton of suggestions, several of which I had never seen. David Frank, who used to provide content on a regular basis for me, is a big poster buff and of the nine posters here, he suggested seven of them. As for the other two, well, I'll explain below and perhaps in too much detail on one of them. This list also differs from my...
