The folks later in the film, and the zombie films to follow, are lucky the zombies weren't as smart as the first classic zombie in film history. |

Quote:
And not just that but seeing some zombies go about their old routines like they did when still alive was pretty eerie. Like the old lady zombie in the Night of the Living Dead remake cuddling a babydoll like she's holding her own child or the zombie in Dawn of the Dead who was picking up coins in a fountain. The best example was seeing Bub do things like shave, read a book, and talk on the phone and even doing things like salute or use a handgun because he was in the military when he was still human.

Wuthering Heights (1939)
9/10 Gothic tale of a boy adopted by a landed gentry English family. His great love is his step sister, but would she choose love with a landless penniless peasant, or choose a gentrified husband to retain the wealth and privilege of the aristocratic life? Must he leave her and gain a fortune before he can come back to her? Would she wait for a fortune that may never come? Could he love a woman that required him to wealthy? Whoah, I didn't know what to expect from the film, it wasn't what I thought it was. It's a famous film that had simply fell through my fingers... not to mention I had confused this film with another film. This film is very poetic, in most every way, particularly the dialogue which certainly comes from the book, and it's very fine poetic prose indeed. The film is filled with wisdom that comes through very human anguish and foolishness, the kind us mere humans seem incapable of rising above. The film doesn't hold any punches. The story seems a bit exaggerated, as stories making important points in less than 2 hours often do, but it's painfully spot on. Last edited by Sculpt; 10-01-2018 at 09:20 PM. |

the Chaneys
I haven't had much chance to see many movies with Chaney Sr., aside from Phantom of the Opera. The scene in the original (1925) where the girl rips the mask off the Phantom's face is certainly superior to any later remake.
Have you seen Spider Baby? I've heard that Lon Chaney, Jr. was drunk during much of the movie, but his performance is still wonderfuls. |

memories of Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath, besides being the only movie where Karloff played a vampire, was the movie that made me realize that I have an erotic fixation on vampires.

What does this have to do with vintage horror movies?

I saw a Chaney Sr documentary that showed a ton of his performances, but no, I haven't seen any of his films, that I recall. Chaney Jr's best acting ability is to elicit sympathy from audiences, which is gold. Otherwise, I don't think he's a particularly good actor. His best work was in At High Noon. I thought he was pretty usual in Spider Baby, kind of like a tired Larry Talbot. Last edited by Sculpt; 10-05-2018 at 08:27 AM. |

where are the good movies?
I went through the whole list of vampire movies in Comcast Cable's "Halloween Moviethon", and didn't see one worth watching again. Bummer.
