Some of the movie felt like One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. The rest was much more dark with a very climactic ending. Whole thing is both comedic, suspenseful, mysterious and sad. |

CHARLEY VARRICK (1973). Very good Don Siegel film with Sharecropper Walter Matthau supplementing his income with occasional bank robberies, usually in low amounts. The one that opens the film nets him and his partner (Andrew Robinson from DIRTY HARRY and HELLRAISER) close to a million and the realization that it's Mafia money. Fine turns by WM, AR, Sheree North, John Vernon and especially Joe Don Baker as the courtly well spoken and sadistic Hitman. ****

Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970)
|
FROGS (1972). Silly movie, but I think it just has a certain charm to it and my wife loves it because a young Sam Elliot has his shirt off a lot. To be sure, not great, but worth checking out once. **1/2

Night of the Demons
Return of the Living Dead Had myself a Linnea Quigley mini-thon. ::wink:: |

Halloween III: Season of the Witch
Halloween (1978) |
The Changeling, 1980. 9/10
Director: Peter Medak  |
Not horror but it was Freebie and the Bean. Fun buddy cop movie that would never fly in this over sensitive day and age.
|
THE BOOGENS (1981). The low budget does impact this and the monsters are all that, but I found myself liking this quite a lot. It's an engaging story and the cast is OK, especially adorable Rebecca Balding, who I remembered from TV's SOAP and SILENT SCREAM (1980). And at least, it's a genuine Monster movie, instead of another slasher. ***
|
EATING RAOUL (1982). Great Black comedy about a Prudish/Uptight couple resorting to hitherto unknown depths to achieve their dream. Mary Woronov is fantastic in this. ****
|
Horror Express, with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Surprisingly good. And one of the rare instances where I recall Lee playing a "good" guy!
|
Watched Return of the Living Dead with the girlfriend, it was absolutly awesome showing it her as she had never seen it before, I just love the way things go from bad to worse with almost every decision every character makes in this film.

Evil dead
last Night I watch Evil dead Ohh god i'm not sleep full night ::EEK!::::devil::
|
NIGHTMARE (1981). Incredibly grim slasher movie of a guy whose medical treatment falls off the rails after a visit to Times Square and he heads to Florida. The Sunshine State portion had one of the most odious children I've ever seen in a movie and you almost wish the maniac would grab him.
Not much of a story and kind of silly towards the end, although it's pretty brutal (the babysitter murder really is cringeworthy) and one of the most violent over the top wrap ups I can ever recall. *** |
listen Guyz
Last night I watch vampair movie me and my brother and alone for the room and only last seen so gone my electric and then thank god I have a litter so I go to the downstairs and change the light and after coming my father

THE POSSESSED (1977). TV movie suffers from the Malaise common with those productions, but not a bad story of unusual occurrences happening at a Girl's finishing school. For Me, the main reason to watch these is usually for the cast. Good performances by James Farentino and especially Joan Hackett, who has some good scenes in here.
Some early roles for Diana Scarwid (MOMMY DEAREST, PSYCHO 3), Ann Dusenberry (JAWS 2, CUTTER'S WAY), PJ SOLES (CARRIE, HALLOWEEN, STRIPES) and Harrison Ford who is very Hans Solo-ish as a cocky Tom catting Bio instructor::shocked::. **1/2 |
The Hills Have Eyes - A true genre classic. Craven just sets up the mood and the atmosphere so wonderfully.

THE VERDICT (1982). Don't think this is as good as it's Mae out to be, but decent turn by Paul Newman as a washed up lawyer who decides to take the high road for a change. Good support by Jack Warden and James Mason. ***

ANATOMY OF A MURDER, the funny MY COUSIN VINNIE and although it has continuity issues, let's throw in JAGGED EDGE::big grin::! THE PROWLER (1981). Some really good things here like Savini's special effects, a better than average opening with vintage props throughout and some lovely footage of wonderful Cape May NJ are done in by a truly unimaginative script and a overly huffy heroine. Know some people really like this, but I can't get into it. ** |
KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS (1977). Kind of goofy in spots, but not a bad little flick, involving that old 70's chestnut of Nature striking back. While it's kind of hard to imagine William Shatner as a small town Vet, he is alright here and decent supporting cast of lovely Tiffany Bolling (although she is always dressed as though she were at a dinner party), Woody Strode, Altovise Davis (third Wife of Sammy Davis JR::shocked::) and Marcy Lafferty as Bill's Sister-in-Law who may have feelings for him (in real life, she was MRS Shatner at the time::shocked::)
Borrows elements from other films like THE BIRDS, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and especially JAWS, but can truthfully say, that once was enough, it wasn't boring. **1/2 |

I enjoyed Kingdom of the Spiders when it debuted on TV. That was enough for me. I do love the fx still of the town covered in webs. https://terrordaves.files.wordpress...._spiders91.jpg |

ALIEN (1979). I saw this at a Midnight movie with my Brother after working a 12 hour day (had a callout, so stayed in to cover the shift), was tired and starting to doze in the first half hour with Bro giving Me gentle nudges to keep Me awake and once the big scene in here happened, I was on full alert::wink:: for the rest of the film.
Compared to ALIENS, there are some long stretches here and honestly, having to be around the NOSTROMO crew would make me yearn for the long nap; not a cozy bunch at all. Slow it may be, but some great scenes which scared the bejesus out of Me and truly suspenseful towards the end. The sets are amazing and the HR Giger work is impressive. Also like how all the cast went on to great roles after this. **** |
Last Seen Classic Horrors
They recently showed "Cujo," "Christine," the original "Dead Zone," and the original "Pet Semetery" on TV out where I live. We are also getting near the time of year when I watch the original "Black Christmas" with John Saxon and Margot Kidder again, and not the remake! ::devil::
|
SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE (1972). The story is truly out there about a traumatized WW2 vet who develops an ability to time travel to the past, the future and even Outer Space::confused::! But if You can stick with it, S5 is truly worth watching. It's certainly off the wall enough and some of the best film editing I've ever seen with good performances by Michael Sacks (THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS), Eugene Roche (many films/TV) and a young adorably cheerful Valerie Perrine. ***1/2

An American Christmas Carol, 1979
 |
Near Dark turned out to be a slow burner that shined towards the end. One of Bill Paxton's better roles imo and Lance Henriksen is always a badass.
|
I finally got to look back at the original "Black Christmas" with John Saxon and Margot Kidder! That one is still one of the scariest and most intense out of the Christmas horror films! It also gives the term "old school done right artsy and gory" brand new meaning. That's not to mention Margot Kidder's death scene is like something out of a Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci, Mario Bava, or Unberto Lenzi cult classic from the 1970s or 1980s! The obscene phone calls from inside the house are also where the writers of "When A Stranger Calls" got their idea from! ::danger::
