Lord Zedd's Monster Heads

During the second season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers , there was a video release of a Halloween special.   It was called Lord Zedd’s Monster Heads and involved Lord Zedd hosting a Halloween party at his moon base.   A bunch of monsters were there.   That’s as much of a description as is really necessary, I think. This post will be about that special.   As a little breather from the main Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series, I’m covering the movie and the season 2 specials before diving into season 3 and all that it entails.   This is the second of the three between season posts that will be coming out, the first having been about Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie .   This isn’t about the movie though.   This post is about… Lord Zedd’s Monster Heads Halloween came to Angel Grove once again.   The Power Rangers celebrated like they always did.   They went to the Angel Grove Youth Centre for a Halloween party where everyone could hang out, dance, and drink ju

First Time Watches: September 2017

There weren’t too many first time watches in September.   I only ended up getting to nine of them.   What I did watch was quite varied, though.   There was a clown terrorizing some kids and a trip around the world.   There was a visit to a summer camp and a city boy visiting the country.   Twelve soldiers even teamed up to take down some Nazis.   Speaking of which, let’s get to the first movie

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers season 2 saw growth upon what the first season had built the foundation for.   Now that the characters were established, the show could focus on building out storylines and growing the characters.   It hit a bump in the road when three of the actors departed, but put in some good effort to make an almost seamless transition.   Jason, Zack, and Trini were replaced with Rocky, Adam, and Aisha through an extended story arc ranging from The Ninja Encounter until The Power Transfer .   The storylines kept getting stronger.   The character work kept being better thought out.   Everything about the show was improved with the second season. Season 2 also saw the production of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie , a film based on the television show.   The actors reprised their roles, but the story was in a different continuity.   What happened in the movie would have zero effect on the events unfolding in the show.   Well, mostly.   Some of the tel
