Selections:
Episode 46 - Invitation from the Dead
Episode 47 - Alien Gama Commence Attack

     Poor Arthur just can't catch a break. When we last had a peek into the like of Arthur and his family, they were looking for a new house... only to find it infested with cyclops vampire ant monsters. This week, George, Arthur and Kim are taking a vacation to Arthur's village to visit his grandparents after receiving a letter from the next door neighbor girl with whom he grew up. Unbeknownst to them, a topographical aerial photography plane has crashed and exploded near the village, and Arthur's grandparents were the only witnesses.

They must be part of the Farm Film Report's Japanese branch.

     Upon arrival, Arthur receives the sad news that the neighbor girl died six months ago, but the time line does not match up with the date of her letter. On their first night, George happens to wake up and see Arthur's grandparents eating insects out of a barrel with long tongues like frogs, but he knows no one will believe him. Arthur and friends go to visit the girl's grave. The growth of weeds seems to prove that she must have died months before her letter was dated, and Kim has an uncomfortable feeling about the frogs in the village...

Then again, not trusting frogs isn't such a bad idea.

     It isn't long before George and his companions discover that another alien invasion has occurred, and this time the invaders have replaced everyone in Arthur's village with frog men.

But there is no sign of Roddy Piper or Sydney Greenfeet (rimshot).

     The frog men surround and capture George and friends, and their lord and ruler, the giant frog monster Gama, erupts from the earth. George gets away just long enough to transform into Spectreman, but Gama proves too powerful. Drained of his energy, Spectreman reverts back to George and is recaptured with his friends. But what about Arthur's grandparents and the rest of the villagers? Could the frog men have a taste for human flesh, or could the humans still be alive somewhere? And where is Dr. Gori? He was nowhere to be found when the alien vampire Kyudora attacked last week, so will a group of alien frogs be worthy of his attention? Tune in to the #GHWP hashtag on Twitter this Friday night after #Bmoviemaniacs to see what happens next.
