VOLCANODON is coming from the Creator Union of Tokusatsu in Taiwan

A special thanks to Avery Guerra for turning me on to this!

Hot on the heals of the world-wide success of the Japanese monster movie, Godzilla Minus One, the Taiwanese film maker Lien-Che Lai is currently working on his own giant monster film entitled Volcanodon.

The short film is being produced by the Creator Union of Tokusatsu, which is a collection of Taiwanese film makers who have a passion for producing both superhero and monster movies. The company has produced such films as Black Sun (A Japanese Kamen Rider Homage) and other Ultraman homage themed projects.

Volcanodon, as his name would imply, is a huge creature formed from molten lava.

Director Lien-Che Lai, has been really impressed with the positive messages he has received from fans as of late stating on Facebook, "Received messages from monsters special fans around the world these two days, giving the special team up to the start of 2024 (?). In order to live up to everyone's expectations, we will continue to work hard to get the new film released on time in mid-year! Thank you to all my friends who love the monster special!" (Translated from Taiwanese to English).

As Lai mentioned, the production team is expecting to have Volcanodon ready for release sometime in the Summer of 2024.

Here is the teaser trailer:

Abandoned Louisiana - The Pirate's Cove Water Park / Resort in Iowa

About ten minutes east of the city of Lake Charles are the remains of an abandoned water park . The decaying structures are clearly visible from the busy I-10 freeway and for years drivers have wondered about it's history and why it was left for dead. The Pirate's Cove Water Park actually has a rather interesting story behind it. A story that has been repeated over and over again, unfortunately, here in Louisiana. It's just another example of how government bureaucracy in this state killed an enterprise before it could ever get off the ground. Construction on the park began in 2008 and it was scheduled to open sometime in 2010. The sprawling complex was envisioned as an oasis from the hot summer heat that would feature luxurious amenities like a 900 foot long lazy river, a giant splash pad for the kids and eventually a five star hotel. The Pirate's Cove would have been an obvious tourist destination that could have brought much needed tax dollars and employment oppo...

Abandoned Louisiana - The Old Hightower Family Home in Dodson

I have to admit that I have been hanging on to these photos for a couple of months now just looking for the right minute to post them. Back in November I was traveling up to El Dorado, Arkansas and I passed through the small town of Dodson. While driving through town my eyes spotted a very attractive old house up on a hill and I just had to stop and take a few photos of it. I honestly don't know the history of this house, but I'm sure some local will send me message telling me all about it (and someone did see the UPDATE ), and it's not as cool as an abandoned railroad locomotive or old movie house but it really spoke to me. I have to wonder about the people who used to live in it and how it ended up in the state it is now. Anyone can see that it was a beautiful house long ago. What happened? How did such a grand residence end up like this? Those are questions that I can't answer unfortunately. Unfortunately a site like this isn't all that uncommon here in Louisian...
