Great Recipes to Accompany Our "Great" Films

One of the joys of watching movies at home is the freedom to extend your menu past popcorn and soda. With that in mind, we carefully compile recipes to accompany each feature described in Monster Island Theater.

Canned Food Recipes

When you're besieged by The Killer Shrews, the last thing you want to do is go grocery shopping. So how do you keep your strength up without access to fresh food? Why, with a pantry well stocked with canned foods and these handy recipes....

Carnival Recipes

The carnival in Carnival of Souls is long since abandoned, but fond memories of the food linger on.

Kids, don't try these recipes at home without adult supervision. Adults, don't try these recipes without your cardiologist's supervision. Weird Romance assumes no liability for belly aches, scalding with hot sugar or oil, or weight gain.

Cocktail Recipes

Part of the fascination of viewing The Brain That Wouldn't Die is its in-depth exploration of the swinging world of cocktail lounge life. So, to help you get into the spirit of the movie, we offer these classic cocktail recipes to go with this classic movie.

And remember, unlike Dr Cortner: if you drink, don't drive.

Cuban Recipes

The Cuban setting for Creature from the Haunted Sea calls for Cuban feasting. Out of deference to the title character (or should that be fear of the title character?), no seafood is featured...

French Recipes

When M. Gaston Morel (AKA Bluebeard) returns from a long, hard day seducing and strangling beautiful women, he restores himself with hearty French food. Join him, why don't you? (For the food, that is: we do not endorse murder.)

Haitian Recipes

Enjoy a virtual visit to Haiti: watch White Zombie, feast on Haitian cuisine, and sip a drink named for the title character.

Halloween Recipes

Make Monster Island Theater's presentation of Cat-Women of the Moon the center of your Halloween festivities. And, to make your celebrations still more festive, we offer these recipes.

Heart and Blood Recipes

As Dr. Arrowsmith of Nightmare Castle knows, there's nothing like the nice fresh blood or heart of your recently murdered spouse to rejuvenate your maid. You can mimic the effect with these tasty recipes.

Holiday Recipes #1

It just wouldn't be the holidays without The Monster Island Theater Holiday Special. Nor can you enjoy the celebrations without food and drink! (How can you celebrate when you're hungry and thirsty, after all?) Here are a few recipes to get you started with your festivities.

Holiday Recipes #2

It just wouldn't be the holidays without The Monster Island Theater Holiday Special. Nor can you enjoy the celebrations without food and drink! (How can you celebrate when you're hungry and thirsty, after all?) Here are a few recipes to get you started with your festivities.

Holiday Recipes #3

It just wouldn't be the holidays without The Monster Island Theater Holiday Special. Nor can you enjoy the celebrations without food and drink! (How can you celebrate when you're hungry and thirsty, after all?) Here are a few recipes to get you started with your festivities.

Honey Recipes

Wasp enzymes have amazing transformative powers, as any Wasp Woman can tell you. If the enzymes are unavailable, you can partially mimic the effect in these recipes with honey.

Octopus Recipes

If you viewed the special Halloween Eve showing of Bride of the Monster on Monster Island Theater, then you know that the octopus is a possession to be prized.

However, even if you didn't see the film, you can still appreciate the octopus in your own home with these recipes:

Peacock Recipes

The Screaming Skull is bad enough: who needs screaming peacocks besides? Put those pesky birds to good use in these tasty recipes. You may wish to decorate your table with napkins folded into peacocks, as well.

Prehistoric Recipes

If you take a Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet, what can you expect to eat?

Roast Beef and Apple Pie Recipes

Even an Invisible Ghost still enjoys roast beef and apple pie.

Seafood Recipes

How can Tom Stewart be Tormented, when he can enjoy these special seafood delicacies?

Simmerin' Swamp Recipes

Lust, betrayal, atomic fallout, moonshine, giant leeches... Attack of the Giant Leeches has everything but gluttony. We are repairing that omission here.

Tibetan Recipes

No wonder The Snow Creature went on a rampage! He was missing his native Tibetan dishes. If only someone had had access to these recipes, chaos might have been averted. But then, there would have been no movie...

Transylvanian Recipes

You never know when you're going to have to go to Transylvania to close a real estate deal, where you will be able to enjoy some of these regional delicacies. Please don't sell any property to a Nosferatu.

Be sure to serve these dishes heavily garnished with garlic. Just to be on the safe side. (Well, maybe not the pudding.)

Wine Recipes

Ingmar Ozu-Bresson observes of The Last Man on Earth, "Jazz, wine, Italian women, zombie-vampire killing. What more could an atomic age bachelor wish for?" But what if you tire of wine-drinking? Why, you can cook with it!
