Speaking of ants, I'm getting worried about the number of ,Phase 4' diets I'm seeing.
Makes me think of ants and much chomping in the formulary of phase IV.
I've seen a lot of Ant movies and read a few Novels.
I've never seen Food of the Gods though - maybe that's rats film? It used to be advertised as a cine film for home viewing at the back of Warrens Creepy and Eerie comics.
I bought this softback of Creepy reprints this morning at the Bonner Comic Laden.
Although Food of the Gods isn't advertised in it, some classic monotone monster cine films are, pictured above. The VHS of it's day!
Have you seen it? Read any ant books? Did you or do you like Creepy and Eerie comics Readers?

In a sleepy Rhine village we're visiting is, yes, of all things, an ant controller!
I’m super fond of Phase IV, and of Food of the Gods and it’s sort-of sequel, Empire of the Ants. And I had at least half of those 8mm movies listed on that magazine ad! It was the way to have a piece of your favorite movie, before VHS. SFZ
ReplyDeleteOh wow SF, how great, all those monster cine films! Did you watch them with mates at home?
DeleteWe watched them over and over, and even had “screenings” for the neighbor kids, where we would show the movies and play mood music records as the soundtrack! Hilarious! SFZ
DeleteSounds wunderbar SF! What a great childhood you had! For some reason I have it in my head that you met Forry Ackerman back then. Is that right?
