Description by OLDIES.com:

Mr. Lobo's Cinema Insomnia has been seen in hundreds of television and cable markets. In the tradition of vintage horror host shows, Mr. Lobo appears in brief vignettes in between segments of this late night movie. Also appearing in the breaks are satirical commercials, old movie trailers, classic commercials and interviews shot at horror/sci-fi conventions and film festivals across the country. "They're Not Bad Movies...Just Misunderstood!"

You can't say Mr. Lobo doesn't know Dick - because in 1947 people didn't say things like that! Cinema Insomnia's host presents a film based on the classic Chester Gould comic strip - Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome, also known as Dick Tracy Meets Boris Karloff. Leading man Ralph Byrd is suitably steadfast as the straight-laced detective from the Sunday funnies, especially when pitted against "Frankenstein's Monster" himself, Boris Karloff. See trailers from crime genre films (1930s to present), retro clips, drive-in snack bar ads, and a special appearance by rival horror host Lady Skank'nstein, who steals the second half of the movie from Mr. Lobo! A "must see" for Cinema Insomnia fans!

Mr. Lobo Hits Another Home Run!! Movie Lover: Henry Chmielefski from COLLEGEVILLE, PA US -- December, 12, 2019

Finally got a chance to sit down and watch "Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome" last night. All the Cinema Insomnia titles have been excellent, but I especially enjoyed thiick Tracy tittle! I cannot get over all the research these guys did on the tie-in merchandise! It seemed like Tracy's copyright owners sold merchandising rights to anyone with a dollar-twenty five, including to the people who made those god-awful Dick Tracy Cartoons!!! Bill Mumy commercial appearance & the Joe Staton interview were worth the price of admission alone!! The reel changes bits were funny as always. I've always enjoyed the movie, it was even better packaged this way! All in all yet another excellent entry! Keep em coming!!
