So, how is it that a horror host would opt to feature a Bigfoot documentary, instead of a classic, below average, horror movie for his late-night movie program?

Mr. Lobo explains, "I remember "Bigfoot: Mysterious Monster" scaring me as a kid and it sat on the shows pile of 'To Do' 16mm film prints. When Ken Waller, our director, would say...'why don't we do Bigfoot', I would shake his head and say 'No, that's too serious', let's do a few others first.

"After we did another very popular episode, 'In Search Of...Ancient Astronauts', I was surprised how well the documentary worked on the show and came back to 'Bigfoot'. I put it on...and laughed myself silly. It played like 'Waiting for Guffman' or 'This is Spinal Tap'. I was inspired and wrote pages of documentary style humor with another writer named Chris Grill. We shot it in many many locations and pulled in a ton of local celebrities and actors to be in the show. It stands as one of my very favorite and most fun episodes."

Indeed, the episode is a lot of fun to watch. Lobo's take on the classic documentary is a very 'tasteful' spoof of Bigfoot and the people who have devoted their lives to searching for him....it.....them.

Mr Lobo adds, "It is a favorite episode among hardcore Cinema Insomnia fans and 'Cryptozoology/Unknown/Conspiracy' buffs. In it Mr. Lobo wraps around the 1975 documentary hosted by the late Peter Graves with some parody documentary footage of interviews with Bigfoot's prom date, Bigfoot's 5th grade teacher, Bigfoot's college roommate, Bigfoot's hair stylist, etc."

This is not the first time that episode has been released on DVD, but Mr. Lobo and his distributor, Apprehensive Films, thought that the release needed a face-lift.

"Our New distributor Apprehensive Films, who is putting out the current syndicated series in a set called the SLIME LINE, cut a new DVD version for the release...sweetening audio and video and putting them in store ready, shrink wrapped, bar coded, quality packaged, covers with a film and show synopsis on the back and "Slime Points" inside to mail in for free goodies."

Cinema Insomnia: Nonstop Movie Party Zombies - DVD - Apprehensive Films

Order Your DVD Here!
Only $14.99

Have you ever wanted to see the best scenes from Hollywood's ever growing list of zombie films over and over again in a continuous loop? Well, the movie gods have smiled upon you, because Mr. Lobo of the nationally syndicated late-night horror phenomena, "Cinema Insomnia", has added his talents to "Nonstop Movie Party Zombies", a DVD collection of the best undead flicks ever assembled.

Indeed, this special DVD collection features a special 'loop' feature that let's you view the really good parts, over and over and over.....and somebody stop me! Okay, I got looped up there for a second.

Now I have to warn all of you out there, this DVD is a particularly nasty one. According to Mr. Lobo, the DVD broke loose last night and......well.....went on a kinda bender.

Here is a blow-by-blow account of the carnage as Mr. Lobo posted it on Facebook last night:

9:00 pm - My new DVD just ate the last bit of sour cream in your fridge? What are you gonna do about it?
9:04 pm - My new DVD is putting it's feet up on your chair! What now?
9:05 pm - My new DVD left a wet towel on the floor in your bathroom. I suggest you don't smell it!
9:08 pm - My new DVD logged into your facebook account and is deleting all your friends who "seem like douches"...

Well, "Nonstop Movie Party Zombies" sounds like one horrible house guest......kinda like when my wife's family is over on holidays. - Ken Hulsey - Monster Island News
