Monstrous Monday During Dateline

“Dateline is brain food.”

I open with a picture of a brain, because mine seems to be taking the day off (cue jokes like “What else is new?”).  I have been knitting and watching Dateline for a few hours now, one of my favorite things to do.   However, I must make my blog post, because there is no reason for today to be the day I do not post.  Also, I promised myself a Monstrous Monday.  I do like sharing pictures of monsters.

Sometimes people are the real monsters.

First I include a shot of the Dateline logo, in the interests of accuracy.

I’m thinking IT did not actually conquer the world, even in the movie, but I confess I do not remember.

I further declare this a Cheesy Movie Monster Monday, since I did not actually get to watch a cheesy movie yesterday.  I suppose I could have watched one today, instead of all those episodes of Dateline, but it just felt like a True Crime kind of a day.   Incidentally, extra points go to this movie poster for the correct use of “its.”  Remember:  it only gets an apostrophe when it’s a contraction of “it is.”  Otherwise it’s like his or hers; you don’t put apostrophes on those either.  Just a little digression from the grammar geek inside me (and not too far below the surface) (you may have noticed).

This one I have seen with and without robot heads (for the uninitiated, “with robot heads” means as an episode of Mystery Science Theatre 3000).

I have seen The Screaming Skull more than once.  I believe it features a human monster as well as the titular skull.  Fun flick.  I see I am approaching 300 words.  That’s pretty good for a Monstrous Monday.  And I am missing the next episode of Dateline.  Can’t have that!  Thank you for tuning in and I hope to see you all on Tired Tuesday.
