The Tin Man Will Kick Monster Butt In Japanese Movie “G”

G has everything any kaiju-loving fan could ever want, including giant monsters fighting even bigger robots. The acting and sets are pretty campy (par for the course for most indie monster films) yet the special effects are ultra-surreal. The filmmakers did an amazing job blowing up buildings and creating the red lasers that beam out…

Midwest Emo Boys vs. Giant Monster — Who Wins?

We’ve told you before about Zero Trooper F, a giant monster flick set in a town much like Madison, Wisconsin, and now there’s an action-packed clip from it online as well as a full trailer. Basically it’s the simple tale of a mad scientist having a life crisis while super-soldiers fight a giant monster (see…

You Can Never Have Too Many Cute Monsters

Cinemarcade has a great sheet of tiny, cute kaiju icons. For some reason, they decided to randomly rename all the Godzilla creatures Elvis — so you’ve got MechaElvis and Baby Elvis in among the other giant monster classics. I guess Godzilla is the king. Of course, my personal favorite is Ghidorah, but Megalon and Hedorah…

Enjoy “Unnatural Hugeness” with the 20 Craziest Kaiju

A kaiju is a giant monster like Cloverfield or Godzilla, and there have been some pretty insane ones invented over the years. The discerning kaiju aficionado has exposed herself to creatures great and large, from the giant ass in Rectuma and the giant rat-bat-spider in Angry Red Planet, to the giant chicken in Guilala (pictured…

Most Disturbing Kaiju Transformation Scene Ever (NSFW)

I am disturbed on so many levels that I’m practically in ecstasy. Watching Meatball Machine made my day because it includes goofy human-sized kaiju fights, an alien invasion, barfing, drooling, piles and piles of blood, and a tender love scene (in the clip you see here) gone terribly wrong. Our hero, a shy nerd, is…

Giant Monsters Destroy All Cities

Giant monsters stomping across your gaming table, thrashing each other and destroying an entire city in the process: Is this heaven? Nope, just Monsterpocalypse, a forthcoming collectible miniatures game of kaiju combat by Privateer Press. The pre-painted collectible minis and the buildings they will stomp will come in random booster packs starting this fall. Privateer…

Giant Monster Trashes Madison, Wisconsin

Tired of those giant monsters only attacking the big cities and ignoring the heartland of America? So is one film-maker in Madison, Wisconsin, apparently. Eric Lim brought the world-crushing kaiju action to Greenside City, which looks remarkably like his hometown of Madison, in his new film Zero Trooper-F, which just premiered last month. Says The…

Japan to Scan Venus, Find King Ghidora

The Japanese space agency, JAXA, is sending an orbiter to Venus in a few years to scan the surface of our nearest planetary neighbor. The PLANET C orbiter (it even sounds like a secret weapon straight out of a Godzilla movie) will use million-pixel cameras to peer through the dense cloudcover and see what lies…

South Park Creators Camp Up Monster Island

Trey Parker and Matt Stone are set to do to Japan what they did to the U.S. in Team America World Police: inflate every pop-culture stereotype until it soars overhead with a loud farting noise. The only twist is, their new movie Giant Monsters Attack Japan! will be aimed at kids. Find out the reason…
