Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
What is “B-Movie inspirations”? It is one part movie review and one part RPG game master idea seeds. Many of my ideas have come from cheesy movies that I somehow find time to watch. I decided to start writing theses ideas down in reviews geared towards RPG game masters like myself. In some ways, this is me watching these horrible movies and drawing the ideas from them, so you don’t have to.
Because of the time travel in one of the movies, there should be some kind of order to these for it to make sense. So the plot from Frankenstein’s Army would be the first part. This would probably be followed by The 25th Reich, and finally Nazis at the Center of the Earth. Part 1…
Over a few days, I watched several B movies that had similar theme. All were on Tubi and after watching one, I went down to the “If you liked this, here are some suggestions…” section and watched another. All have one theme in common – Nazi and the Third Reich. Two are pretty much science…
What do you get when you smash Roger “James Bond” Moore, David “Guns of Navarone” Niven, Telly “Kojak” Savalas, Sonny “Cher’s Ex” Bono, Richard “Shaft” Roundtree, and Elliot Gould into a World War II movie that is one part heist, one part espionage and one part Greek Isle vacation? Throw in Nazis, POW camp in…
I watched two completely unrelated movies today and got an idea from them. I wanted to write it down before I forgot. First there was The Undefeated, one of the early team-ups of John Wayne and Rock Hudson. It is a western-action flick from 1969. It is set primarily 4 years after the Civil War,…
While browsing Youtube, I found this movie in a list of under-rated sci-fi gems on Prime. It was described as a low-budget modern Lovecraftian tale and they had me at that. Overall, it is a slow brooding movie, with very subtle and weird events that don’t go entirely explained. Warning, spoilers ahead. You are initially…
I have been really focused 1960s lately and I think because there was pretty decent writing back then, even though the budgets and effects could not be as good. Castle of Evil, although very tropey, it was well written and at least I felt a cool idea for an adventure one shot. Castle of Evil…
A rare opportunity to see Jeffrey Hunter outside of his usual cowboy roles, this movie interested me for it’s sci-fi and espionage aspects. Watching the trailer, it has be at “.. action, adventure and electronic espionage!” At first you are introduced to Justin Power (played by Jeffrey Hunter of Star Trek The Cage) in a…
One part Terminator and one part Terminator 2, this movie has a simple story with some very subtle and inspiring plot aspects that I found interesting enough to write about. In 2087, a mysterious group of people using time travel technology they apparently broke into, sends what we later learn is a cyborg – Garth…
I have started watching a lot of old Hammer films lately – a collection of psychological horror as well as gothic horror films because I have always liked that style of movie. I did not realize that Hammer did so many outside of just the standard goth horror movies I remember. What I have learned…
There is this new trend on the various social media outlets that says men think about the Roman Empire almost on a daily basis. I probably represent this because I watch a lot of movies or shows set in that time period. One of my favorite shows of all time is Spartacus (2010). Sometime back,…
