Love the A&C finale!

It was fun! I never watched them all together, before.

Monster on the Campus is another "fun B" picture.  I loved how Prof. Blake had a coelacanth "delivered", yet never questioned the manner in which it was preserved.  They were just wheeling the thing around on a cart.  And you're wondering why the thing isn't stinking from rot.  They shipped it overseas packed in ice (why would that be necessary if the Prof. kept the thing out on a table like a bowl of fruit once he got it?). The freaking thing, despite being 'preserved' with what we later learn as gamma radiation, drips bodily fluids.  As the story went, you realize that anything that absorbs these fluids will temporarily become a prehistoric version of itself.  So this moronic Prof. Blake has this dead radioactive fish dripping schmutz all over the freaking place.  First, Troy Donaghue's dog licks the damned thing, then a dragonfly does the same.  The Prof. cuts himself on the fish, then later accidentally drips the 'infected' dragonfly's bodily fluids into his smoking pipe, then inhales.  It's hilarious.  Later, as the Prof. Is trying to prove that the plasma of the radioactive coelacanth can turn creatures into a prehistoric state----he is completely ignorant of the fact that HE is the one who is turning into a caveman and murdering people!!!  Even though he knows he cut himself on the fish and that his pipe tobacco smelled funny after he dragged the dripping dead giant dragonfly around.  When he finally puts 2 and 2 together, his reaction is priceless.  Then he decides to prove that he is the killer by injecting himself with radioactive fish plasma.  Naturally, turning himself into a caveman this way does NOTHING to prove he's the killer.  It just proves he can turn into a caveman like anyone else who absorbs the tainted plasma.  The holes in the story are fantastic.  Finally and thankfully the idiot Prof.  eats hot lead and is killed.  Still very enjoyable.  BECAUSE of the story flaws, not despite them.

Hahaha...This has to be the funniest review of Monster on the Campus.  I wasn't a fan of the movie, but I think you have now made it a movie I can enjoy ironically.
