Image:The Monster Death Chair.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Removed material

The style of humor is often ironic or a running gag, such as Johnny's faith in candles and flares to call for help, or reliance on his "ingenuity" to overcome dire circumstances. However, unlike many contemporary horror movies that involve comedic elements, the dramatic scenes and eerie effects of The Monster are not intended to be campy (cf. The Toxic Avenger (1985)), nor are they the crux of the plot (cf. The Cat and the Canary (1939)).

Lloyd Bacon

Did Lloyd Bacon have anything to do with this film? Unless I copied it incorrectly, Phil Hardy's The Encyclopedia of Horror Movies says he directed it. I had it out through interlibrary loan recently. I own the second edition, The Overlook Film Encyclopedia: Horror, and that credits it to West. An eyeskip error seems unlikely, since Stark Mad is nine pages later. In the second edition, it seems like there is an unusual amount of space after West's name, which is odd since both names are eleven characters long.--Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 03:19, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
