There was a free movie night in market square tonight where my bf and I froze our butts off watching Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein, The Mummy (1932) and Dracula(1931).
|
Sounds like a great time!

Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954)
One word: 'Stunning'...almost perfectly says for everything, specially for the the creature & its beautifully crafted suit, overall the film and none other than Ms. Kay played by Julia Adams...her presence continuously produced an erotic vibe throughout the movie.;) >>: B+ |
Creature from the Black Lagoon, Revenge of the Creature, The Creature Walks Among Us, Humanoids from the Deep and have ordered from Amazon Wolf Man Legacy DVDs.

The Wolfman Legacy Collection is one of the more consistently good of the Legacy Collections. You'll enjoy it.

Bunny Lake Is Missing (1965)
http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/495...eismissing.jpg Though it's not may a horror film but the beautiful black & white photography and stunning camera works from the director Otto Preminger gave a haunting tone to this simple but effective psychological mystery-thriller. And personally I always very much fond of this kinda Hitchcockian tales. Nonetheless the film has a great cast including Laurence Olivier (a gem of a performance as the police inspector), Carol Lynley and Keir Dullea (they really looked like brother & sister!). >>: B+ The Fearless Vampire Killers aka Dance of the Vampires (1967) The best vampire comedy ever made; almost without a bloodshed in the film. What a stunning beauty Tate was! But it's really sad for anyone to watch her on screen with Polanski after knowing about the untimely & shocking death of her by the Manson family. >>: A- |
The Lodger (1944)
Amazing performance by Laird Cregar and Merle Oberon is at her most beautiful. Atmospheric. |
The Day the Earth Stood Still, and The Thing From Another World.
|
Two of my faves- I hope you enjoyed them!
|
Frankenstein Created Woman (1967)
Nice one. >>: B |
A Karloff double feature:
"The Walking Dead" And "Isle Of The Dead" |
"Night of the Living Dead" (the original)!
|
William Castle night on TCM:
Straight-Jacket The Tingler 13 Ghosts William Castle certainly knew how to ENTERTAIN. and then: The Old Dark House (1931) |

|
"Mr. Sardonicus" (1961)
One of William Castle's most entertaining films. |
Quote:
Great film! One of the better examples of 50s silliness. Dont know how VP played it with a straight face but I watch this one whenever I see its on the box. |
Me too- it's one of my faves. Especially love the shot of the book he reads before he injests the experimental drug:
"Effects on the Mind of Lysergic Acid." |
Tales of Terror
best line= "I drink my food". fun stuff :D |
I love Peter Lorre in that one.
|
The Skull (1965)
An effective psychological horror about the innate fear of madness and possession by evil influences. Freddie Francis directs a highly atmospheric voyage into madness. Cushing is fantastic and once again his partnership with Christopher Lee is a memorable one. The two really were great together and even though Lee is not in a whole lot of the film, every moment he was onscreen he was magnetic. The flick is paced wonderfully, lightning fast, and is just plain fun. >>: B We weren't lucky enough to read much of Robert Bloch's books or stories here but this movie also gave me the pleasure of remembering some good times of our school days. One of my very good friends...Tanvir, used to write comics & stories at a popular children magazine and once he wrote a supernatural story about a human skull (titled: The Death Skull), that has an extra eye hole in its forehead! The Skull comes from an unknown origin & people (whoever possess it) starts to die in a gruesome fashion. ....humm, that boy was a genius.:cool: |
Started the Halloween fest at home with vintage stuff last night...
House on Haunted Hill The Haunting 13 Ghosts The Uninvited |
Great lineup!
Roshiq- I love The Skull! |
yeah....who doesn't like a little skull now and then.
|
The Long Hair of Death ['64]
|
Starting the 'Frankenstein' Legacy Frankenstein and Bride first .....then well see about the others,!

One of my favorites is "Freaks" |
Eyes Without a Face (1960). A wonderful classic for sure. The daughter's portrayal is haunting to be sure as she almosts floats from place to place, with the rest of the acting just as competant. A disturbing tale of vanity and guilt, this simple story is told exquisitely well. The score is disturbingly apt. A treat to all horror fans, modern or classic. Ashe.

Just got "Eyes without a Face" from the library today will watch it within the next few days. I've seen it only once before on youtube.. :( bad quality sometimes on youtube....will hopefully enjoy more on TV screen!
And I did put all the other Universal 'Legacy' collections on reserve :) can't wait too see them! |
"Revenge Of The Zombies" (1943)
-John Carradine Plot: IMDB Scott Warrington and his hired detective, Larry Adams, arrive at an old mansion in the middle of a Louisiana swamp to meet his brother-in-law, Dr. Max von Altermann shortly after the death of Scott's sister, Lila. Von Altermann, a Nazi who has been creating zombies for the armies of the Third Reich, has turned the deceased Lila into one of the undead as well, but is surprised when she shows signs of free will and challenges Max for control over his zombie thralls. Phantom's Review: John Carradine was a fine actor and thats about all the good I can say for this turkey. I had to open up the windows to air out the house after this stinker was over. |
