HOW AWFUL ABOUT ALLAN (1970). HOW AWFUL IS ALLEN , more like it. I always liked Anthony Perkins; He could play uptight strange people with the best of them, but his character is really just a tool. Interesting premise runs out of gas and the ending is relatively easy to spot. *1/2

Hmm... best movie covers would be a good tourney

Amityville Horror (1979)

seen this one a few times, love this movie, fun cast and story,

i laugh everytime that woman grabs her face and speaks in that "linda blair style" demon voice haha

thatd be interesting!

THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY (1980). Wonderfully charming comedy of a Coca-Cola bottle dropped from a plane into a Bushmen settlement. The contented group thinks it's a Gift from The Gods and enjoy this new present until it brings hitherto unseen strife. One of the Tribesman (N!Hau is great) decides to take it to "The Edge of the World" and return it to the Gods. Added on are an incredibly klutzy Scientist trying to get a young Teacher to her destination and a group of Revolutionaries attempting a Coup. It all sounds like a lot, but good flow and a lot of truly funny scenes. Highly recommended. ****

Four Flies On Grey Velvet (1971)

Dr Phibes Rises Again (1972)

I also got to see an American horror anthology film from 1967 called "Dr. Terror's Gallery Of Horror" with Lon Chaney, jr. hosting it, which is not to be mixed up with the Amicus film, "Dr. Terror's House Of Horrors." This one is a comedy horror, and is a lot more funny than scary by far. It is still well done overall with a great hosting performance from Lon Chaney, jr. Each segment also had great hilarious endings. The two funniest are probably the last two with the science students and professor try Dr. Frankenstein's practice at bringing a dead madman back to life, along with the tale of Count Alucard! Those into the classic horror anthology films should check that out as well if they have not already. ::devil::

LEMORA: A CHILD'S TALE OF THE SUPERNATURAL (1973). NETFLIX described this as "A Fangy Paen to NIGHT OF THE HUNTER" and can see some of the similarities. A young girl leaves her home/church in search of her gangster father and encounters Lemora and other strange beings. Some good photography, music and props (those cool older cars) help with the somewhat muddled story (which may have been from cuts) and the adorable Cheryl "Rainbeaux" Smith is always worth watching. The Catholic Film Board put the film on a Persona Non Grata list and to be honest, The Church is not presented in the best light. Add to the somewhat seedy atmosphere and seedier people in here, LEMORA is worth a watch, but once was enough. **1/2

I found that movie to be pretty damn good. But I've only seen it once and that's a long time ago.

DEATH GAME (1977). Decent albeit nasty film that has elements I'm sure inspired parts of FATAL ATTRACTION (1987) and THE STRANGERS (2008). Seymour Cassel plays a content family man left alone on his birthday who hears a knock on the door and finds two lost Young women out in the rain. He invites them in to dry off and one thing leads to another with some steamy action! Problems arise the next day, as for reasons that become clear, His two Houseguests just aren't ready to leave yet...
Many trials/tribulations kept this in limbo for a couple of years (saw Sissy Spacek and Bill Paxton names in the production credits) and not a big success. Thought it was decent with good performances by SC and the two women, played by Sondra Locke (a couple of years before the Clint Eastwood films) and adorable Colleen Camp (always have liked her spots in many films like POLICE ACADEMY 2, THE VAGRANT, WAYNES WORLD ), even if they are both crazy as Shithouse rats! My copy wasn't the best and a little too much noise (scraping/yelling/laughing), but worth a look and another film showing what happens when You let the little head do the thinking for the big head! ***

I finally got to see "Blackenstein" from 1973, and it was about time. Although the editing and picture quality are not the best by any stretch of the imagination, the story does keep interest, and it has an understandable character you can relate to and symphathise with, especially with the first guy he goes after when becoming the monster. I also knew the jealous assistant who really turned him into the monster because he had a crush on the man's wife had it coming to him. The monster also looks cool for older school lower budget standards. I'll give it a worth a look for at least one time.

MS. 45 (1981)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SPOILERS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Zoe Tamerlis ( 17 when She made this and died only about 20 years later) is wonderful as a Mute Seamstress who works for a Demanding employer, hears sexist taunts while She and her Co-Workers leave for the Day and is raped twice in one afternoon. During the second attack, she manages to turn the tables, get his Gun and then it's DEATH WISH/REPULSION territory as Zoe begins targeting Lowlifes throughout the city (although I felt the Guy in Chinatown really had nothing wrong and sort of relieved He escapes). Low budget sort of hampers the overall effect, but some great scenes, especially the sequence in Central Park. As the film continues, Zoe (who wears little to no makeup in the beginning-looking like a young Natasha Kinski) increases her Hunting skills and is all but glammed out by the end! ****

The Fog, 1980. 8/10

Director: John Carpenter

MADHOUSE (1974). Enjoy the acting of Vincent Price and Peter Cushing, but not even they (along with Robert Quarry-COUNT YORGA, SUGAR HILL-, Adrienne Corri-THE HELLFIRE CLUB, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE- and Linda Hayden-TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA, VAMPIRA) can save this listless tale of a successful Horror actor who may have killed his Fiancee and while making a TV comeback, murders very similar to his films occur.
An interesting premise (very much like TARGETS), but doesn't try at all to do anything to progress the story and I was checking the time to see how long was left; never a good sign. Boris Karloff and Basil Rathbone get a Special Guest billing (despite being deceased for several years) via clips from TALES OF TERROR and THE RAVEN, along with PIT AND THE PENDULUM, THE HAUNTED PALCE AND HOUSE OF USHER. See it if You are a completest as I am, but keep some coffee nearby. **

ANY WHICH WAY YOU CAN (1980). Like Clint Eastwood and borrowed this from a friend. Never saw ANY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE-the whole premise just sounded too much like the wretched SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT. There are a lot of performers here I like and occasional laughs ("Turn right, Clyde"), but so much filler and I can't imagine anyone racing to see this. *1/2

I also looked back at the original "Black Christmas" from 1974 and the original "Silent Night, Bloody Night," which are both always worth looking back at to close the Holiday Season! ::danger::

he knows you're alone

another great christmas horror is the first story in Tales From The Crypt (1972) with the hobo santa killer

adventures in babysitting

BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES (1970). Good sequel to the 1968 film with many of the same performers from that one. James Franciscus is good as the Astronaut trying to find Charlton Heston , although by the ending (WHOAH DADDY!!!), You'll wonder how much more abuse He can take. ***1/2

curtains

I have seen the original "Tales From The Crypt," and that is another one of my all time favorites! Yes, that tale is creepy! ::devil::

I recently looked back at a couple of comedy horrors from the 1980s, "House II: The Second Story," and "Deadtime Stories" from 1986. They ae both just as fun and awesome as I remember them in my opinion, and always fun to look back at! Those who have not seen those don't know what they are missing! ::danger::

decided to rewatch two of my favorites...The Thing and Jaws! Seen these movies many times, but every rewatch I notice some new things....

TANYA'S ISLAND (1980). Albert Sole (ALICE, SWEET ALICE) directed this odd yet interesting film that has an ending that sort of negates the whole thing. Tanya (DD Winters who later changed her name and found fame as Vanity) is experiencing difficulty in her professional and personal life. She and her boyfriend-who is an absolute shithead-go to an island and problems begin when she encounters an ape. The Ape costume is a collaboration between Rick Baker and Rob Bottin-good job on what was surely a low budget shoot-and for those interested in these things, You see an AWFUL lot of Vanity...no wonder Prince wanted to work with her! ***
