I've been spending a lot of time digging around in the Internet Archive. In the course of my excavations, I uncovered a metric buttload of old cult filmage in the public domain, and in a fit of obsessive-compulsive mania, decided to make a list that included every film in the archive that also makes an appearance in Michael Weldon's essential guide to midnight movies, The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film.

One Got Fat is a macabre little educational film from 1963 about bicycle safety, narrated by Edward Everett Horton, featuring kids sporting wire tails and wearing these absolutely terrifying Papier-mâché monkey masks with souless black pits instead of eyes, that were surely designed in the very pit of Hell by Satan himself. One by one, the unfortunate chimp-children are dispatched in a variety of gruesome ways for violating bicycle safety rules.

Gratuitous double-entendre dialogue: "Slim knew that his big sack would be hard to handle."

I've been wasting a fair amount of time today digging through the Name That Flim Flickr Pool. Not because I'm any good at identifying movies (quite the contrary, I suck at it), but because I'm really digging the out-of-context screen grabs, like the ones above.

There are always a bunch of great images over at If Charlie Parker Was a Gunslinger..., but this publicity still from the classic Dr. Seuss film, The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T, jumped out at me today. It's always been one of my favorite movies. As a child, I watched it over and over on my parent's black and white teevee, never realizing that it was actually filmed in Technicolor. I finally got the chance to see it on the big screen in a revival movie house a couple of years ago in all of its multi-hued glory, and all I can say is that it's a revelation.

Did I mention how much I want one of those hand beanies?
