The Food of the Gods / Frogs (1972-1976)

[HorrorBlu]

Frogs has always been a bit of an oddity to me. Is the title supposed to be ironic? I don't think any of the characters are actually killed by frogs, and the so-called "frogs" are mostly toads.

Also, what happened to Bella and the two servants? All of the black characters just sort of disappear, as though they were written out of the movie part way through. I've always been a bit disappointed by that, as Judy Pace's Bella is a way more interesting character than Joan Van Ark's final girl Karen.


Riffing aside, really fun disc from Scream Factory. Enjoyed the interviews, Belinda Balaski's story about Ida Lupino's departure from the picture was a riot.

Even though Empire Of The Ants was my favorite of these four creature features Scream Factory released, I'd say the Food Of The Gods / Frogs Double Feature is probably the better value. But buy them both, all four movies are great additions to any cult movie fan's collection.
