Part comedy, part suspense-horror. You should like it.

Wow! sounds awesome...my kind of thing. Gonna check it out soon. Thanks for the rec, buddy.:)

Continuing the story of Kharis from The Mummy's Hand, this time it's the turn of genre fave Lon Chaney Jr to play the titular role. These films are shorter in duration (about 1 hour long), but pretty entertaining B-movie fests. Chaney does a good job, and is ably supported by a good, well-rounded cast. Well worth a watch for the fun it provides.

Just saw Santo Vs. The Vampire Women. I'd been putting off the Mexican horrors for a while, but there's a nice, clean lbx print up on Youtube with English subs, so I finally watched it. Really enjoyed it too. The film looks great. Tons of atmospheric b&w photography, and of course, vampire women.

Day Of The Triffids (1963) Excellent fun film and surprisingly more serious than I expected it to be (besides the killer plants of course)based on the John Wyndham book which I would like to read.

Eugenie And The Story Of Her Journey Into Perversion (1969) Jess Franco adaptation of Marquis De Sade's Philosophy In The Boudoir-unsurprisingly this is pure sexploitation but there are a lot of quotes from De Sade's writings. Sadly there's not enough Christopher Lee as unsurprisingly he isn't involved in the sex scenes though the last twenty minutes are glorious and only ruined by the very last scene which tries to be clever and fails miserably. Definitely one for Sade fans.

...the saga of Kharis continues!

My favorite old-timey horror films are The Last Man on Earth, and The Thing From Another World. (Or whatever it's called; it's based on 'Who Goes There' - inspired Carpenter's The Thing.) The bit with the thing under the ice is ballin even by today's standards.

That's a great film. Really love the use of color on that one. Plus Price really gets to let loose during his "Curwen" scenes.
