Not horror but it is pre-1970's:
http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...s8ywdolza.jpeg Since my wife hates this kind of stuff I can only watch it in snippets when she's not around. About ¾ of the of the way through now and pretty decent so far. Great Morricone score some of which sounds envelope pushing. |

Seen it a long time ago, should watch it again. Maybe around Halloween.

The Brides Of Dracula....
9/10 |

Night Of The Living Dead (1968)
|
Probably the last 70s movie I saw was The Omen.

Absolutely 10/10 for NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD...my alltime favorite film.
SAMSON IN THE WAX MUSEUM (1963). Have a fondness for Mexican horror films from the late 50's-mid 60s. Seriously gonzo, but so much fun. Samson is a masked wrestler who helps solve mysteries when not grappling at the arena for his devoted fans. In this one he is helping solve a bunch of dissapearances by the Wax Museum run by kindly Dr Karol, who can't understand why such things are happening>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SPOILER ALERT, although You could probably guess it>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. Of course, You don't have to be Einstein to guess that Dr Karol is the villain and from a relatively subdued performance, Cladio Brooks quickly turns on the ham and goes way over the top. Like a big bag of pototo chips, this film is really not good for You, but so much fun, You just have to indulge. I find the three wrestling matches tedious, but You can skip ahead if You wish. *** |
The Revenge of Frankenstein- 1958. I just got me a little Frankenstein cup, so I watched it while sipping hot chocolate. ::smile::

WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS (1966). Typical Japanese nonsense with giant monsters running amok and raising home insurance rates. Still a lot of fun with a shocking (at least it was when I first saw it) scene involving a dress and who could forget the immortal song "The Words Get Stuck In My Throat"? ***

THE WEREWOLF OF LONDON (1935). One of my very first Universals way back in the summer of 1971 which helped lead on this glorious path. While I still like it, it really hasn't aged all that well for me. Love the Werewolf, but Henry Hull's character is one abrasive cold fish (although as his plight increases, he becomes kinder), awful comedy relief (Una O'Connor could have done the two busy body landlords in her sleep) and poor Valerie Hobson! Probably 18 at the most and in a love triangle with two guys old enough to be her father...and then some~! Despite my quibbles, still have a lot of fondness for the feral werewolf and Henry is pretty good in here. He was one of my very first (maybe the first-?) objects of a fan letter. FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND #98 had an article where you could send Mr Hull a letter or card to cheer him up, as he was 88 at the time and not in the best of health. With all the skillful oratory an 11 year old could muster, I mailed it and got a very nice surprise a month or so later when I received a postcard in the mail from Mr Hull with "Dear Friend, Thank You so Much for Your appreciation , for which I am always grateful" typed out with his signature on the bottom. Truly made my day and sent a few more letters out, but did not hear back-even back than , I figured his health problems prevented this. sad day for me when I read he had passed on in 1977. So despite its flaws, I still give this ***1/2 for the opening of the door and the thrill of being acknowledged by a Monster actor. |

I remember having to wait a long time to see THE WEREWOLF OF LONDON (1935), as it never seemed to be on the TV horror features. When i finally saw it, i was pretty disappointed. Was a long time ago, but i remember two things: the orchid that only blooms in moonlight, and that the film was immediately unmemorable to me. |
Son of Frankenstein.
Might be my all time favorite sequel, and with Karloff, Lugosi, Atwill and Rathbone in the cast it's really no surprise. |

Nosferatu, 1922
This one premiered in Berlin on this date, so it's celebrating it's 94th anniversary. I'm combining this with THC and some excellent mood lighting to enhance th……. I need some chips. |
THE UNDYING MONSTER(1942). OK flick which plays a lot like the Universal Sherlock Holmes series. Director John Brahm went on to make two classics: THE LODGER and HANGOVER SQUARE. **1/2

Eyes Without a Face-1960. 8/10
Somehow this movie brought Billy Idol to mind. |

I watched The 7th Victim yesterday. It's about the fourth time I've seen it and it keeps moving higher up my list of favorite Val Lewton produced films. |

The Catman of Paris (1946) Pretty average horror that was inspired by the universal Wolfman films. Some good scenes including a hilarious still fail to drag it from being a mundane experience. |

MR SARDONICUS (1961). Like most of William Castle films, this is quite silly. However, like most of William Castles films, it's a whole lotta fun. Quite sadistic for its time...you've gotta love the Maid's punishment! **** |
Face of the Screaming Werewolf
The fuck did I just watch... mummy into werewolf, someone explain this mess. - The Alligator People You know, I went into this one expecting to be disappointed, but was quite surprised. I rather enjoyed this movie a lot. And it's on YouTube, so certainly give it a watch. |

Speaking of which.. - Manfish I was deceived by the title. But it was still a good movie, and had my bae, Lon Chaney in it. Something of Treasure Island tale. |
THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES (1959). Really like this Hammer adaptation of Doyle's story. While Andre Morrel is great as Watson (not like the buffoon in the 40's series, although I dig Nigel Bruce), Peter Cushing steals the film-an excellent Holmes he is, twitchy, animated and a joy to watch. Kind of odd watching Chris Lee play a noveau riche who likes to slum, but he's pretty cool too. ***1/2

The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini
An odd little movie but an enjoyable one. |

Boris in a tale of attempted murder for the family fortune turned a bit Abbott and Costello? What's not to love.
What are you guys waiting for? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wItc9w27WQI ::big grin:: Bloofer should get in on this too. It's her type of cheese. Sorry to disappoint, Rosh, but the invisible bikini refers to bad green screen effects. |
