ha....I almost didn't recognize him.

My 31 Nights Of Halloween continue with:

Dead Of Night" (1945)

Plot:
An architect seeking the possibility of work is invited to spend the weekend at a country estate , when he gets there, he realizes he recognizes the house and his fellow guests from a series of nightmares he's been having.
When he tells his story, the other guests also recall bizarre and supernatural stories of their own.

Phantom's Review: Suspenseful low key thriller. Arguably, the best of the British anthology movies. Excellent acting and direction along with some great stories make this a highly recommended film.

My 31 Nights Of Halloween continues with:

"Mad Love" (1935)
-Peter Lorre

Plot: IMDB
In Paris, the great surgeon Dr. Gogol falls madly in love with stage actress Yvonne Orlac, and his ardor disturbs her quite a bit when he discovers to his horror that she is married to concert pianist Stephen Orlac. Shortly thereafter, Stephen's hands are badly crushed in a train accident- beyond the power of standard medicine. Knowing that his hands are his life, Yvonne overcomes her fear and goes to Dr. Gogol, to beg him to help.

Phantom's Review: Brilliant, simply brilliant.

Hand of the Ripper [71]

My 31 Nights of Halloween concludes with:

"The Mad Magician" (1953)
"House Of Wax" (1954)
"The Haunting" (1963) Best ghost movie ever


I hope everyone had a great and safe Halloween

"The uninvited" (1944) 4/10

Wouldn't call it horror. Wouldn't call it good.


And wtf is up with the music score?? It's almost cozy. Like watching a christmas movie. Yuck!!

Four of the Hammer Frankenstein films on TCM on Oct. 29. I love what they did with their Frankenstein series- placing the emphasis on the Dr. as the real monster. Cushing was just fantastic in this role.

Captain Clegg aka Night Creatures (1962)

No Frankenstein...No Dracula but still another fantastic production from Hammer with a great cast. Especially it's been a double treat for me to see Cushing & Reed working together in this film.
