13 Ghosts (1960)
Fun little William Castle haunted house horror - filmed in Illusion-O. Just noticed Castle seems to cast the parents of his families pretty old.

Demons of the Mind (1972)
So-So Hammer Horror whose only high point is Patrick Magee chewing the scenery plus unexpected full frontal nudity too (but alas itsn't Patrick Magee).

Dracula -

I was sure I saw this when I was young. But I didn't remember any of it. The movie is good. But it's slow. So slow that I would say 90% or more of today's audience wouldn't put up with it. So many times I thought there was going to be a fight scene but nope. Yet it wasn't a bad thing.

I love the look of these classic movies. It really helps the setting and realism. At least to me. Dracula's castle is pretty cool. I like the oversize fireplace and scope of the place. Some stuff is obvious like the prop bat flying around. But let's be honest, in today's version that bat would be flying like mad attacking people. I was also surprised at where they cut the movie. No bites. All off screen and fade outs. The mirror reveal was great too. But I was really shocked by the ending. I didn't expect that.

Voodoo Man (1944)

Pretty lame but still fun Lugosi film from Monogram Studies. John Carradine plays his idiot bongo playing henchman.

Ha. Love to see that just for Caradine.

Quite true -he all but steals the film.
One of the better Monograms. For Thanksgiving 1972, visited friends of my parents and the first ROCK CONCERT was playing and The Alice Cooper Group was on. Loved "School's Out" and was all set to watch. However, Alice was the Anti-Christ back then, my Mom HATED him and I was forbidden to watch. Knowing there would be Hell to pay if caught, watched VM instead. Maybe she thought Bela, JC, George Zucco and "Ramboona" were less of a bad influence.

Today is October 20th. On this date in 1882, the immortal Bela Lugosi was born. To commemorate this occasion I'm having a Lugosi double feature:

1) Dracula (1931)
2) The Return Of The Vampire (1944)

Both are required viewing during Halloween season:halloween:

What old movie is this gif from?
