While mainland Britain shivers in deepest winter, the northern island of Fara bakes in the nineties. Only a stand-offish visiting scientist suspects aliens are to blame.

The Grue-Crew, with guest Michael Zatz, thought they might have found a hidden gem with Night of the Big Heat (1967). Directed by Terence Fisher and starring Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Jane Merrow, Sarah Lawson, Patrick Allen, and William Lucas, the film gave the impression it might be something special. Then they watched it. Oh, dear. There are many questions regarding the aliens that are never answered. So many questions. All of the cast members give admirable performances, but to what end? Oh, yeah, … they sweat a lot, and in this case, one can not overestimate the meaning of “a lot.” The crew does have fun in this talkabout.

At the time of this writing, Night of the Big Heat (1967) is available to stream from Tubi, Filmzie, and Flix Fling. It is also available on physical media as a standard Blu-ray-formatted disc in HORROR DOUBLE FEATURE with Island of Terror (1966) from DigiComTV.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror: The Classic Era records a new episode every two weeks. Next in their schedule is their 200th episode! For this milestone, the Grue Crew have decided to recreate their initial episode (Episode 0) and discuss each of their favorite horror films from each of the decades: ‘20s, ‘30s, ‘40s, ‘50s, and ‘60s. They’ll also look for films they want to discuss in future episodes and maybe their favorite episodes so far.  It will be fun for us and maybe even entertaining for you. There will also be a couple of surprise guest hosts. Please join us!
