The Angry Red Planet

I really liked the aliens but i thought the characters were annoying. Still its fun and i enjoyed it.

Not seen that one will check it thanks.

The Ghost Ship-I am Val Lewton fan (the amazing Cat People, Curse Of The Cat People and The Leopard Man) but I really hated this. It didn't seem anywhere near as atmospheric as his other films and the good ideas it had I felt were wasted. Still yet to see Isle Of The Dead and Bedlam so hope I enjoy them more.

Last night: Carnival of Souls and Dementia 13, love them both!

Oh man, I love Carnival of Souls. I am ashamed to say I have never seen Dementia 13.

Brides of Dracula

Next will be Curse of the Werewolf - I'm on a Hammer kick today. :D

Aren't you always?

LOL - not always

The Ghost Ship (1943)

A beautifully tense & interesting psycho-thriller from Lewton-Robson which I like to call, Captain Crack!:D Loved it.

Continuing my Hammer kick, just finished watching The Phantom of the Opera and am now watching Paranoiac.

That's on the double DVD with both of them right? That's how i watched them. Paranoiac is great.

Yes! Now on the second disc. Watched Kiss of the Vampire and now watching Nightmare. I'm glad to hear someone besides me likes Paranoiac!

Oh i loved it. Oliver Reed was incredible in it. He really looked like he was losing his mind.

Yes, he played that role very well.

Now watching Night Creatures and then The Evil of Frankenstein.

bride of frankenstein
fuckin loved this movie,even better than the first
just about to watch curse of the mummy

Not at all. Atwill is, imho, a criminally underrated actor. Too bad he didn't make more films.

Curse Of The Mummy (Universal)
The Giant Claw (Sam katzman)

Isle Of The Dead-awesome Val Lewton production set on an island cemetary where there is an outbreak of septicaemic plague during wartime. Chilling performance from Boris Karloff as "The Watchdog" with equally chilling metaphors harking to Greek Mythology everywhere.

Started this set last night

... and continued through the afternoon.

How was Mummy's Hand? Haven't seen it.

It's a nice little entertainer, not exactly a sequel to Karloff's original but offering a novel premise in it's own right. Tom Tyler does a superb job of portraying the Mummy in this one and the makeup effects add a lot of creepy character as well. Excellent characterisation is also a strength of this movie.

Part comedy, part suspense-horror. You should like it.

Wow! sounds awesome...my kind of thing. Gonna check it out soon. Thanks for the rec, buddy.:)

Continuing the story of Kharis from The Mummy's Hand, this time it's the turn of genre fave Lon Chaney Jr to play the titular role. These films are shorter in duration (about 1 hour long), but pretty entertaining B-movie fests. Chaney does a good job, and is ably supported by a good, well-rounded cast. Well worth a watch for the fun it provides.

Just saw Santo Vs. The Vampire Women. I'd been putting off the Mexican horrors for a while, but there's a nice, clean lbx print up on Youtube with English subs, so I finally watched it. Really enjoyed it too. The film looks great. Tons of atmospheric b&w photography, and of course, vampire women.

Day Of The Triffids (1963) Excellent fun film and surprisingly more serious than I expected it to be (besides the killer plants of course)based on the John Wyndham book which I would like to read.

Eugenie And The Story Of Her Journey Into Perversion (1969) Jess Franco adaptation of Marquis De Sade's Philosophy In The Boudoir-unsurprisingly this is pure sexploitation but there are a lot of quotes from De Sade's writings. Sadly there's not enough Christopher Lee as unsurprisingly he isn't involved in the sex scenes though the last twenty minutes are glorious and only ruined by the very last scene which tries to be clever and fails miserably. Definitely one for Sade fans.

...the saga of Kharis continues!

My favorite old-timey horror films are The Last Man on Earth, and The Thing From Another World. (Or whatever it's called; it's based on 'Who Goes There' - inspired Carpenter's The Thing.) The bit with the thing under the ice is ballin even by today's standards.

Bluebeard (1944)

And so the saga of Kharis concludes.

Vincent Price - The Haunted Palace (1963).

Still a good horror flick. :)

That's a great film. Really love the use of color on that one. Plus Price really gets to let loose during his "Curwen" scenes.

So much fun.

The 10th Victim (1965)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...0thVictim1.jpg

Loved the futuristic set up for this amusing thriller where society's lust for violence is satisfied by The Big Hunt, an international game of legalized murder. But when the sport's top 2 assassins are pitted against each other, they find that love is the most dangerous game of all.


And...the ravishing Ursula Andress steals the show from everyone and makes it one hell of an exotic feature to remember!

Vincent Price - The Haunted Palace (1963)

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rhgvEeVy5l...ed%2Blobby.jpg

Still quite good. But not scary in the sense movies today can scare.

6/10.

The Halfway House (1944) Excellent and mysterious character study. Not really creepy or scary but good anyway.

Just read the plot synopsis on imdb...wow! it seems really interesting; thanks for the head up. I'd like to give it a watch soon or later.

Technically, it wasn't the last movie I watched but yesterday I dug out my DVD of Theatre Of Blood. It's case has been missing for months and I've feared playing it thinking that at any moment it'd just break down, but other than a little dust that I wiped off it was perfectly fine.

It's upon rewatching it that I realised how much genuine British talent is in this film (Diana Rigg, Arthur Lowe, Michael Horden). It completely passed me by that Jack Hawkins plays one of the critics (dubbed by Charles Grey, another plus!). To say that the film's essentially Dr. Phibes with a different title and a slightly different concept, It's a great film. Vincent Price at his absolute best

'Le Manoir Du Diable', from 1896.

With Boris Karloff. Not bad, and quite violent.:eek:

Oh, it had huge potential to be....something...different.
