Still more NETFLIX Tarzan films with Johnny Weissmuller getting to the end of his series and really running out of gas, especially the last one. Best part for us is all the cool Horror thespians (mostly from Universal) in them like Brenda Joyce as Jane (Inner Sanctums), Barton McLain (THE MUMMY'S GHOST), Charles Trowbridge (THE MUMMY'S HAND), Maria Ouspenskaya (THE WOLFMAN, FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLFMAN), Acquanetta (CAPTIVE WILD WOMAN, DEAD MAN'S EYES), George Zucco (THE MUMMY'S HAND, THE MAD GHOUL) and the lovely Patricia Morison (DEAD MAN'S EYES, HITLER'S MADMAN, and DRESSED TO KILL).

TARZAN AND THE AMAZONS (1945) **1/2
TARZAN AND THE LEOPARD WOMAN (1946) **1/2
TARZAN AND THE HUNTRESS (1947) ***
TARZAN AND THE MERMAID (1948) *1/2

On the films you listed that are not Tarzan, I have them all and really enjoy watching all. Great films. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

KING KONG (1933). Still wanting to go to the jungle, even after all the TARZAN films::big grin::. Saw this in the theater when I was eight on a 1970 re-issue....was really in to dinosaurs and just loved this from beginning to end. Surprised they did not eject me from the theater during the Kong/T-Rex square off!
Moved a lot as a kid and started watching sports while living above Chicago IL (really no interest) to try to fit in at school. During the Jan 1977 Super Bowl (Know Oakland Raiders won), a station out of Milwaukee WI was showing KING KONG the same time. You can probably deduce what I watched that day.

Still love this and can only shake my head at fools who try to find all sorts of racial/social/sexual messages in the film. You only need to know it's a great entertaining movie...PERIOD! *****

The Vampire (1957)
Beast From 20,000 Fathoms.
Dracula's Daughter
From Hell It Came

20 Million Miles to Earth

ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET THE MUMMY (1955). Some good chuckles and cast in here, but a lot of gags are recycled and it's clear the team was running on empty. Worth seeing- Not as great as A&C MEET FRANKENSTEIN,but better than A&C MEET DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE. **1/2

I thought that was a pretty good Abbott and Costello.

Awesome! Would love to see Kong on big 70m or bigger screen! It's such an amazing film. There is so much 'accidental' symbolism in he film. I heard a lecture called, "King Kong Died for You're Sins".

The Wolf Man

Wolf Man turns 75 this year 8)
When I turn 50 it'll have been around a century! ::shocked::

Very cool!

BLOOD FEAST (1963). Back in the early 90's, started a little bi-weekly meeting I called "B-Movers" where a group of us would bring over munchies and go to someone's residence to watch 2-3 films, usually ones that were older or a little unusual-or in plain speaking, not the stuff the masses made into big hits that usually weren't that good. Not surprisingly, most of them were held at my place and would usually show a couple of trailers (usually from SINISTER CINEMA VHS's), a Warners Cartoon or Three Stooges short before beginning.
Also, not surprisingly, I would always sneak a Horror film in . Had some unusual linesups in there like FIEND WITHOUT A FACE/WIZARDS/USED CARS, SERIAL MOM/THE TINGLER, CAPE FEAR (62)/HENRY:PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER to name a few.
The very first meeting had THE BIG HEAT (1953-EXCELLENT crime film I highly recommend)/BLOOD FEAST/DRACULA (Spanish version of the Lugosi film).
Probably the first all out gore film with lots of splatter, limbs being chopped off, internal organs being removed, sadism etc etc. Also, probably some of the WORST acting ever, non existent production values and a maddening organ/tympani score . . Many groaned at the defects, but appreciated the action and for a few weeks, "Make The Heart of an Old Man Glad!" was uttered among us.
Re-watching it again recently, it is pretty awful, but still pretty intense in the bloody scenes. Also lots of laughs, particularly when Mrs Freemont meets with Fuad Ramses...the mind boggles. Many classic lines such as "Have You ever had...AN EGYPTIAN FEAST??!!??", "THis Man is Uncanny!", "It all happened so Fast!" and my favorite "Now...PROVE You Love Me!"
Also, it's only 70 minutes, so before your tolerance runs out, it's practically over! **

House on Hunted Hill. Love Vincent Price

LAND OF THE PHAROAHS (1955). Very campy film about the building of the Giza pyramid in Egypt with a young Joan Collins already starting her evil ways! ***

Watching "Psycho" right now on the Sundance channel. Looks like they're having an Alfred Hitchcock marathon. Next movie up is "The Birds".

If my math is right anyway. I'm kinda a sped at math so I'm likely wrong. ::big grin::

One of my very favorites! ::love::

I'm watching Psycho too! Not even on TV. Small world...

It's hard to introduce this movie to people who have no appreciation for suspenseful build up or black and white films. Why do I bother... ::roll eyes::

i love Psycho so much, and i know what you mean about people not appreciating it. My niece was watching Bates Motel (which i also love) but she had never seen the movies so i let her borrow them and she only watched the first one said it was OK but didn't watch the others.I don't know how she can do that if you like the TV show you should love the movies. I'm I right.

Island of Lost Souls

I recorded this months ago, and I think I watched it before, but I'm watching it again to finally check my tape for a clean recording and get it ready for more recording.

Based on my favorite book, naturally I enjoy this movie. It's a good adaptation, with a better Moreau than the '96 film... Although the animals in that were more creative. Lost Souls is very basic but gets its point across with its filming and care to atmosphere.

I hear that a lot. I don't know whither to be grateful to shows like Bates Motel for reviving the franchise and bringing attention back to it, or to hate it because you get these brain dead trolls with no respect for the original material... But I do watch Bates and enjoy it so I s'pose I'm stuck somewhere in between.

so she said she watched Psycho 1960 and said it was just OK?

How old is she?

Psycho 1960 is an adult film. I'm not surprised a young person wouldn't comprehend the intrigue of the first half, it's quite an elaborate bates and switch.

Or maybe, as a young 2016 woman, the social roles are too alien to her?

An Abbott and Costello fest for the long weekend...Biggest shocker was spotting Tor Johnson in the last one.

Wait Until Dark, 1967. 8/10

http://www.allclip.net/wp-content/up...til_.dark_.jpg

^Amazing Film...

Such a good bad guy too...

It really is a terrific and twisted flick.

DRACULA (Spanish Version)-1931. A Mexican crew made their version of the Tod Browning film after the day cast left using the same sets and script. While it's still flabby, this has a lot more oomph than the Bela film with the sets being used more wisely (The Carfax Abbey set barely used in the BL film is magnificent), many loose ends put together and quite a lot more violence.
The acting is still pretty hammy-Renfield and Martin really overdo it-amazing how lax the security at the Sanitarium is- and Harker is even more of a doily here than David Manners ever was.
A big improvement with Lupita Tovar playing Mina...more vivacious than Helen Chandler and quite lovely too-no wonder Drac enjoyed nibbling on her!
As the title character, Carlos Villarias gives the old college try, but he can't touch Bela's turn and I know I'm being petty, but whenever CV meets people in the film, all I can think of what a big Shit Eating grin He has! ***

The Seventh Seal

Hadn't seen this for a long and I'd forgotten how good it is. Whats not to like, a knight returning from the crusades plays a game of chess with Death whilst seeking answers about life, death and god.

Tarantula 1955

Awesome. I love that one!

So good. Lon Chaney was a genius in his art.

You have great taste, Hammer! I couldn't tell you the first horror movie I ever watched, but this is definitely one of them. It has stayed a favorite of mine since the first viewing. And I love John Agar, Mara Corday and Nestor Paiva, so how could I not adore Tarantula?! I Always love the quick Clint Eastwood appearance too!
He most certainly was, and this is possibly his finest performance. What a terrific movie.

Dracula: Prince of Darkness, 1966. 7/10


https://thetelltalemind.files.wordpr...ess4.png?w=829

BRAIN FROM PLANET AROUS (1958). As SINISTER CINEMA put it in their catalogue, John Agar is indeed "Precious" in here and gets to ham it up pretty good. Of course, the film is silly, the effects are cheesy and the acting is not all that, but it's a helluva a lot of fun.
So...What are You waiting for? ***

Was it English sub or dub? If dub, can you send me a link?

I say, I've never heard of that before. Sounds cool!

It was in Swedish with subtitles, a mate burnt a disc off so i could watch it whilst in work (6am on a Sunday, big cup of coffee and Seventh Seal on the pc - a good morning!)

Planet of the Vampires

i love PotV! The uniforms are cool, the sets look so freakin good, the film Alien uses many concepts from it, and best of all, the AIP English dub features the same voices as the Speed Racer cartoon voice creators. Love hearing Racer-X's voice coming out of an Italian spaceship actor.

HAHA! I didn't even realize that was Rex Racer/Racer X's voice!! Now that you've brought it up, I'm dying!
Yeah, I love this flick too, for all the reasons you mentioned and more. The hair styles for one thing! This is really not the standard Bava fare in some respects, but all the trademarks in production and style are all over Planet of the Vampires.

Just watched Eegah. Love that movie. Anyone else ever seen this?

Oh yeah, Eegah is a fun watch. Lots of bad acting and good music.

The scream that shocks the screen with 300,000 volts of horror! Inhuman! Invincible! Inescapable!


Indestructible Man, 1956.
