^ I think I caught that on Svengoolie once. Interesting movie to say the least. I actually enjoyed myself watching it. XD
- Psycho This movie need not be reviewed. And I of course mean the classic 1960 original. I refuse to acknowledge the remake. |

Lol, it's okay, Hammerfan. I wasn't sure if he was being serious or not either.

The Fly
Knocking off movies on my Netflix list, and it was tough to narrow it down this round for some reason. Then I saw 'Vincent Price' in the cast on this one. There wasn't anything to decide other than if I wanted to waste time getting popcorn. I didn't even know he was in it, such a pleasant surprise. Not what I expected but it was a good movie. Loved the build up to the reveal of the fly headed human. Not so much the human headed fly. XD |

The Hands of Orlac (1924) The wife looks deranged. With her hammy acting I wouldn't be surprised if it was true. Maybe that's just because that's how women were supposed to be on screen back in the day but i dunno. Hard to take a horror movie seriously when she's being all over dramatic while the doctor looks like he's not even home. But it came back around and had a good ending. - |

^ Helpful as always, Gears.
- The Awful Dr. Orlof Certainly a classic in my book. I really felt for the henchman character. I want to say his name was 'Morpho', but I kept hearing 'Mofo'. That's what you get for dubbing. |
To ccelebrate Christopher Lee's and Vincent Price's co birthdays:
1) "Horror Of Dracula" (greatest vampire movie ever) 2) "House On Haunted Hill" Happy Birthday gentlemen::devil:: |

Mill of the Stone Women - Il mulino delle donne di pietra (1960)
A nice little atmospheric neglected treasure. |

Happy Birthday. |
The Haunted Palace (1963)
A good atmospheric film and a fine example of Gothic cinema. Aesthetically very successful and a Vincent Price on top of his art as usual. An excellent viewing. |

Black Sunday aka: The Mask of Satan Not bad. I enjoyed the corpse-y effects, which were actually fairly good. Don't let the summary fool you though. It's less about witches and more about vampires. - |
'Mystery Street' (1950)
-Ricardo Montalban, Marshall Thompsan, Elsa Lancaster Plot: IMDB Vivian, a B-girl working at "The Grass Skirt," is being brushed off by her rich, married boyfriend. To confront him, she hijacks drunken customer Henry Shanway and his car from Boston to Cape Cod, where she strands Henry...and is never seen again. Months later, a skeleton is found (sans clothes or clues) on a lonely Cape Cod beach. Using the macabre expertise of Harvard forensic specialist Dr. McAdoo, Lt. Pete Morales must work back from bones to the victim's identity, history, and killer. Will he succeed in time to save an innocent suspect? Phantom's Review: Solid , well made "Noir" murder mystery. One of the first films to use Forensic science as a tool to solve the crime. (Fans of CSI might enjoy it) Montalban is terrific as the young detective assigned to solve a murder. Elsa Lancaster is also great as a scheming landlady out to blackmail the murderer. If you enjoy classic murder mystery's, you should enjoy this film. |
I watched Repulsion last night. it was really good!
|
THE FLESH EATERS (1964). Pretty audacious little film that plays like a twisted GILLIGAN'S ISLAND episode. The "Mickey" scene is awesome in it's cruelty! ***1/2
|
Damn there's a lot of 60's classics I need to rewatch. I remember watching Psycho and The Haunting, but that was before I really got into movies. I need to properly watch them.

'The Smiling Ghost' (1941)
-Wayne Morris Plot: IMDB Elinor Bentley Fairchild's previous three grooms-to-be have either died or been maimed. Her aunt hires Lucky Downing to become engaged to her for a month to break the curse. But Lucky becomes a target of what appears to be the ghost of one of the former fiances. Phantom's Review: Goofy, but entertaining "Old Dark House" style mystery/comedy. Plenty of slapstick humor,some nice atmospheric scenes, and a couple of decent attempts at actual scares. The plots not very original, but the acting is fine and it moves at a brisk pace. Not a classic, but I enjoyed it. ::EEK!:: |
Tarantula 1955
Starring one of my favorite 50's era actors, John Agar and the always gorgeous Mara Corday. I never grow tired of this movie, and I'm pretty sure I've seen it 13 million times. |
Me too..one of the first horror films I caught-no pun intended::big grin::. Still enjoy watching it a couple times a year and also catching a young Clint Eastwood as the pilot towards the end of the film..."Drop 'em ALL!"
|
ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES (1958). Real low budget hurts this, but good turns by Bruno Vesota and the late luscious Yvette Vickers make it worth checking out. ***

The Tingler- You can't go wrong with Vincent Price in a William castle movie. I also really love the silly but grand concept of the titular creature. It exists in all of us, but fear triggers it's growth? That in itself is creepy enough for me. Yeah, watching this movie today, I appreciate it for the camp value, but when I saw it, and those " in blood red color " scenes, at the age of 8 or 9, …sheesh, that shit scared me to death. |
You are 100% correct..the Price/Castle combo was great. Tried THE TINGLER when real young but just scared me too much...didn't see it until years later and absolutely love it...silly, but scary as well. Vincent is hilarious with his verbal sparring with his wife and probably in one of the first LSD trips ever filmed.
