Mr. Lobo's Cinema Insomnia: Bloodsuckers of the Atomic Swamp

Mister Lobo celebrates 20 years of hosting his show Cinema Insomnia. In the tradition of those classic horror shows like Chiller Theatre and Creature Features, host Lobo appears in brief vignettes between segments of the "late late night movie." His sidekick throughout this 20-year run has been his companion houseplant named Miss Mittens. Cinema Insomnia has been seen on hundreds of local television and cable channels, and Lobo continues to be a regular guest at conventions like Wondercon and Monster Bash. He was even parodied in an episode of Scooby-Doo. Known as an advocate for "Bad Movies", Mr. Lobo lives by the motto, "They're not bad movies...just misunderstood."

Mr. Lobo goes south to the swampy Everglades where so-called "White Trash" floats - but we can't abide racial slurs, now can we? In this retitled version of Attack of the Giant Leeches (so named for being presented in SWAMP-O-VISION) slimy inhuman creatures rise from the murky mires to menace some good ol' boys and their much-younger wives (or is it cousins?) - including a leopard-print underweared Yvette Vickers! In the satirical and silly wraparounds, your Host is reluctantly assisted by the trampy "Lizabelle" (played by Jessie Seeherman of Utopia Fantastika!)
