#OnThisDay in 1970 moviegoers learned the details of Assignment Terror. Incorporeal aliens inhabit the bodies of two dead scientists so they can revive the Frankenstein monster, a vampire Count, a lady mummy, and the well-known werewolf Waldemar Daninsky. The idea (at least I think so) is to use the inherent fear of these mythic monsters to terrorize superstitious earthlings into submission, but Daninsky isn't having any of it and rebels against the would-be world conquerors. It's basically House of Frankenstein meets Plan 9 from Outer Space meets Paul Naschy, and it's all just as incoherent as that sounds.

TIL: Given the Bible flatly states that God is love, it's often surprises people how many times Scripture also tells us to fear the Lord. Of course, what the Good Book means by "fear" or "terror" of the Lord isn't being scared like we would be of monsters, but rather a profound respect for God's majesty and recognition of our dependency on Him. That's why the Church teaches that the fear of God is actually one of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, because it's what perfects our hope of remaining in God’s grace and someday being with him in the happiness of his eternal light.
