Just curious to your recent viewings. For me:
The Mummy's Hand (1940)
(http://www.shadowclad.com/sacrifice.jpeg)
Easy enough to rip apart for some, but I loved it, as I do all the old Universal films.
-
Just watched The House of Frankenstein. Right now, I am watching the Munsters, season 2.

How many of those Munsters' episodes are you able to click off in a row, kklloo?
-
I have "All Monsters Attack!" aka "Godzilla's Revenge" in the player right now.

-
I watch a disc here and there. I just love the Munsters but my three year old watches them too. So, he usually puts it on while he plays and I work around the house or just dabble on the computer. He just went to bed so I right now I have: The Earth Dies Screaming playing.

I asked because I tried a Hogan's Heroes fest a while back (love the show), but soon found I was confusing plot lines with previously watched episodes....possiby due to the fact that the plot rarely fluctuated. :D
-
"The Deaths of Ian Stone" and it vas a gut vun yaah
-
The last two I watched were "The Cat and the Canary" and "The Killer Must Kill Again."
-
A friend of mine recently gave me a shopping bag full of VHS tapes he converted to DVDs. So far I've watched "Monster From Green Hell", "Quatermass 2" (Enemy From Space), "Voodoo Woman" and the Mystery Science Theatre version of Roger Corman's "The Undead". There are many more to go.
-
I most recently re-watched two great "Old Dark House" style thrillers that I've owned for years. First, Mascot's "One Frightened Night", from 1935, and Universals "The Black Cat"-1941 version, not Karloff and Lugosi's '34 version. (although Bela is in this one too)
-
Just bought and watched the BCi version of Werewolf Shadow/Werewolf vs. Vampire Woman the other night. Wow, I love that film! Very nostalgic for me too!
Watched The Sentinel on DVD the other day as well. Great flick! And last night I fell asleep watching the Elite Drive-In Disc of Attack of the Giant Leeches/Screaming Skull. I love those drive-in discs! Brings back the most awesome memories! I remember once going to the local drive-in and staying up all night watching a 4 or 5 feature line up:
The Rats Are Coming, The Werewolves Are Here
Corpse Grinders
Last House On The Left
The Hills Have Eyes
and something else I forget (I think perhaps it was Night of the Living Dead)
-
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v117/coffindan/sinbad.jpg)
The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad
How I love this movie! I desperately need it on DVD.
-
I just watched Return of the Fly. It's Vincent Price,what can I say ?
-
" Revenge Of The Creature ", followed by " Horror Of Dracula ".
-
First Spaceship To Venus!............ooooooooooooo this is a hoot!
-
Just had an Ultraman Marathon.
-
The Iron Giant (1999)
(http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:cIu9DWsFh4ogCM:http://content.bt.com/distribution/btvision/wb/images/im1/Iron-Giant_im1.jpg)
With the exception of the old Fleischer Superman cartoons, this is easily my favorite piece of animation....ever. Great story and beautifully told. Plus, you gotta give it up for our fellow monster/sci-fi fan Hogarth.
-
Last week we went to Queensland on holiday - the apartment had a DVD player and I got sick with Flu... luckily I took a bunch of movies with me. Watched Bride of Frankenstein and Ghost of Frankenstein. Forgot how much I enjoyed Ghost! Oh, and last night they had Gods and Monsters on Free to Air TV, which I'd never seen so I watched that. Enjoyed it!
-
Last night I watched 1931 "FRANKENSTEIN" ( For billionth time, my personal favorite movie ) , followed by "GODZILLA VS MEGAGUIRUS". :D
-
The last one was a couple of days ago. I watched The Creature From The Black Lagoon. I watched it on my computer because I was getting some pictures for my site.
-
Had a mini Spectreman marathon and watched It Came From Beneath the Sea.
-
This may, or may not fit, ;) but I just watched the first disc of Season 1 of CSI. Never have seen an episode, but now I am hooked......now where is that Netflix link of mine.....
-
This weekend I watched Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler.
-
OK, now I just finished my annual viewing of Shriek of the Mutilated. After four-and-a-half hours of Fritz Lang, I had to have some good old drive-in trash.
-

A reasonable course of action, for sure. :)
-
Was that the original version of Shriek, featuring Popcorn by Hot Butter?
Watched Mystery Men again, and now watching Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon.
-
No, it was the altered DVD.
-
Last night we watched Curse of Frankenstein - 1957 - I'd never actualy seen it all the way through. Not bad at all...
Next Sunday on ABC2 (Australia) they're showing "It Came from Outer Space" - 8.30 pm
Can't wait!
-
Last one watched was the Fog
-
Freddy Vs. Jason and Son Of Frankenstein
-
Last one watched was the Fog
That one messed me up more than Jaws when it came out.
-
Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein followed by "The invisible Man" with Claude Rains.
-
Last night we watched "Phanton of the Opera"( Lon Chaney silent version ), followed by "Fearless Vampire Killers".
-
Watching Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy.
-
Watching Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy.
I remember that one being a bit on the slow side. What is your take kklloo?
-
Last night I had to watch "Night of the Living Dead" again after reading the new posts.
-
I'm currently on a bit of a monster movie binge. The most recent thing I watched was "The Saint's Double Trouble". This was something I'd been seeking for quite a while as part of my quest to acquire everything Lugosi. Bela did a great job as a gangster in this movie.
About a week ago I watched the Hammer classic "Curse of the Werewolf". I hadn't seen it since I was young. It wasn't quite as good as I'd remembered.
And a few days ago I watched the obscure 1934 Monogram flick "House of Mystery". If you like whodunnit-horror-comedy-mysteries, this is really a superior Monogram effort. The DVD can be found at Oldies.com at their 5-for-$25 pricing. If you haven't seen this film before, I'd recommend it. Some of the comic relief actually made me laugh out loud.
-
This Isn't a movie, but I just watched the "MONKEES" halloween episode. Guest-stars Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, and the Mummy.

Just updated the title of the thread. Would hate to miss cool stuff like what you posted, Josie. :)
-
I've always liked Abbott and Costello, even some of their slower movies. Although A&C meet the Mummy is not like the others,and certainly not one of my favs, I still adore it and I am trying to get my son into it. So, far, I have no luck in the matter. Maybe when he is 5, I'll have better luck. I never cared for how the Mummy looks in this one. I wished they kept the appearance of the Mummy in the older Universal movies. Just my 2 cents.

Great post. For me, it is one of those movies that everytime I see it for some reason, I believe it will have magically improved since my last viewing. I love A & C as well. Use to watch them every Sunday on WPIX when I lived in upstate NY. Great times!
-
Last night:
Godzilla vs. Gigan (1977)
(http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:zGOATKgT3Dg5BM:http://www.millionmonkeytheater.com/moviepics/gigan1.JPG)
I just may have to readjust my choice on the Worst Movie Ever thread. ;D Too much on the human side, not enough monster action. However, my ten year old son enjoyed it, so well worth the viewing based on that alone.
-
Super-8 digest versions of "Phantasm," and "Son of Frankenstein" ... projected right on the wall!

Coolness.

Just today...watched Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein with my 6-year old son, Edward. It was his 2nd time watching the film. It was my 68th or so...
He saw it before when he was 4. (See my article in Scary Monsters detailing that experience, 'The Eyes of Dracula')
But today he watched it with a smile...although the entire MacDougal's House of Horrors scene still gives him the nervous twitches.
Before that....(Last Friday) we watched House of Wax.
It was one of our usual Pizza Picnic Fridays...with pizza, and a movie on a blanket picnic style in our living room.
He liked House of Wax and was trying to figure out who the horribly disfigured killer was. He guessed Jarod immediately, but then when he showed up again in the wheelchair, he was stumped.
He knew Joan of Arc was Cathy...and that Matthew Burke's wax figure was really him.
The face shattering was a jumper for him. He watched that scene hiding his eyes behind the DVD cover. (He was obsessively holding it and scanning it carefully for clues)
In October we will try to watch a Monster movie every weekend. Universal land...here we come.
-
Just got through watching Terry Fisher's THE EARTH DIES SCREAMING (1964) on YouTube. Kind of a Brit version of TARGET EARTH. Here's part 1 of 7.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xMvFwtOCfY
-
In October we will try to watch a Monster movie every weekend. Universal land...here we come.
That is exactly what we are doing as well....but we started this weekend. :D And we have pizza every Friday, but the movie is on Saturday! :D
-
Great times ain't it?
Making memories...one Monster at a time.
-
For the last 4 years or so I've actually been keeping a running list of EVERY movie I watch. This serves a couple of purposes for me.
1) It inspires me to make sure that my list doesn't get too stagnant. Each year I try to watch at least 200-250 movies that I had not seen before. Having the list keeps me "on schedule". I've given up on constantly trying to top the previous years amount, though.
2) It helps me remember what I have and have not seen.
My list is viewable on my MySpace page ( http://www.myspace.com/nekrodave ) and the last movie I watched was "The Legend Of Boggy Creek".
-
I watched "Killers From Space" this morning. Oy, what a stinker. I wonder if Peter Graves lists this on his resume? ;)
George
-
Last night I watched Van Helsing - don't hate me...
Here are a few things I like about the movie:
- The first appearance of Kate Beckinsale - she throws some nice shapes
- It *tries* to pay homage to the classics in the first scene
- It kind of tries to be a "House of..." film
- It's less boring than I thought it was
- The 'vibe' of the film is kinda cool
I don't know, I just don't think it's as bad as it gets made out to be - just my thoughts!
After that I watched 'It Came From Outer Space' - Awesome!
Wayne
-
Wayne,
Those were some of the things I liked about the movie as well.
At least it made the attempt to cover some of the traditional monsters,unlike a lot of the
slasher films of today that purport to be monster movies.A lot of them resemble the 6 o'clock
news.Any film that includes Frankenstein's creature,Dracula and a werewolf can't be all bad !
-
Last night I re-watched The Illusionist.
-
The Invasion (2007)
I was very impressed with this remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Nicole Kidman is a great actress and they really nailed the paranoid state vibe with this one.
-
I watched "Godzilla Vs Gigan" last night.
George
"Oh no, there goes Tokyo...."
-
Just watched Son of Frankenstein.
-
Creature From The Black Lagoon in 3D
-
My last Netflix was for two movies I'd never seen before, Tales of Terror and Twice Told Tales. Although I was disapointed in both anthology features for their lack of style and atmosphere, it was great fun to see Vincent Price hamming it up with Peter Lorre and Basil Rathbone.
-
I watched "The Monster Maker" and "Space Jam" this morning. Stop rolling your eyes, Gossamer has a cameo in "Space Jam", as does Witch Hazel, so it counts ;)
George
-
The p38 Space Modulatooooor!
-
We just watched "THE FLY", 1958 version.
-
Ghost of Frankenstein.

Lon Chaney: A Thousand Faces (2000)
Was lucky enough to have a friend snag this of of TCM for me a couple years ago. He threw some graphics on it to make it look like a pro copy. Interesting documentary. One older gentlemen interviewed saw London After Midnight at the movies when it came out. He did not think much of it. Said The Pantom of the Opera was much better. I would sure like to be able to make that call for myself. ;)
-
From what I heard and read, London after Midnight is one of the most sought after Silent Movies, but A Blind Bargain, which is also lost, was a much better movie.

Always wanted to see "London After Midnight", and would love to have a copy for my silent horror collection. No known copies ever survived according to the old Famous Monsters. The pictures of Lon Chaney as the vampire always seemed creepy to me, both as a kid and even now. I'd trade my mate for a chance to see it. ::)

I do have a copy of the Schmidlin reconstruction using over 200 stills....FWIW. The same friend recorded it off of TCM and packaged it very nicely for me. Worth the viewing IMO. :)

Ok, now I'm jealous. ;D
-
Me too !!!
-
The p38 Space Modulatooooor!
I think you mean the "Aludium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator".
-
Still looking for stuff on the internet that isn't available on DVD. Last night I watched "Monster of Piedras Blancas" on YouTube. It was a tape of some public access show called "Dumpsterpiece Theater" and they kept throwing in these stupid sound effects throughout the whole movie. I guess they thought it was funny, but it was just plain annoying! MST3K it ain't! Watch it if you must, but you've been warned.
Parts 1 and 2. Crank pt. 1 up to about 30
min (half way) to start the feature, then go to pt. 2 for the rest.

Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008) 3-D
Was not expecting much from this film except for a fun ride.....and I would say it delivered that and not much more. Characters fairly flat, even Brendan Fraser who is usually good for a laugh, but in this case only received a few light weight chuckles from the audience. It seemed just right for my 10 year-old though, who did enjoy it, but to his discerning credit was not overly wowed either. Just goes to show that story is always more important than effects, which when it it came to the 3-D lot did not add, and in most cases detracted from the film.
-
BATMAN: The Dark Knight....................... I just loved this movie. 2nd time seeing it!
-
BATMAN: The Dark Knight....................... I just loved this movie. 2nd time seeing it!
This one I will have to see solo, so difficult to sneak in, but hopefully it happens soon. Would be a shame to miss it on the big screen.
-
I loved Iron Man but Batman takes the cake. It's a must see on the big Screen. I recommend it!
-
Loved IRON MAN, loved BATMAN, hated JOURNEY, and can't wait for THE WOLFMAN. Just watched "Two Faces of Dr.Jeckyll" with Christopher Lee on TV. It was alright, but I still prefure the Fredrick March version.
-
Invasion of the Saucer Men, pretty cynical for such an "innocent" time. They have a special Air Force unit that sits around waiting for UFO landings so they can spread disinformation about them to the general public.
-
Sounds like the "BIG BROTHER" bit. Careful what you post, someone may be watching. Someone is ALWAYS WATCHING.
-
The Fly with Jeff Goldblum
-
Just watched "The Mummy's Tomb", now gonna relax with some Tanna-leaf tea.
-
Was in a bug mood today..................... Just watched THEM.
-
I think Them ! is one of the best of the genre to come out of the 1950's.
I first saw it at about age ten and it still holds up well today.
-
I think you mean the "Aludium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator".
Ahhh thanks! I knew it wasnt right when I typed it LOL
This weekend was a Frankenstein double header.
Ghost of Frankenstein
Frankenstein
Viewed out of order of course! ;D
-
Sunday afternoon, my wife and I were watching The Naked Archaelogist, when she suddenly said she felt like watching The Mummy. I replied, " Karloff's? " (which is the only one to me). To my surprise & joy, she said " Yeah! ". I said something about a Mummyfest, so we ended up watching all 5 UNI-flicks I had taped off AMC's Monsterfest many years ago. Five and a half hours of Im-Ho-Tep/Ardeth Bay and Kharis doing their thing!
So today, I'm shuffling around slower than usual and strangling the air with an outstretched left hand ( I always drag one leg ). Hell, think I'm gonna go draw something after I drink some tanna tea.
Till next time...
-
I meant, "tana" tea! Tanna tea actually tastes good.
-
Watched a mini-marathon of "Kolchak:the night stalker", followed up with "Monster that Challenged the World". Watch a hell of a lot of dvd's, I hate regular TV. 300 channels of CRAP around here.
-
Gangs of the Dead.....what can I say, it was on cable late last night.
-
I caught the last half hour of Universal Monsters on Chiller last night......does that count? I set the VCR to tape it when they aired it again at midnight.
-
My local Big Lots got in a new selection of $3.00 DVDs this week, and I picked up several movies. Today I watched "Bubba Ho-Tep". I'd heard it was great, and I'm glad I snagged a copy. It's a fun movie!
George
-
Watched Underworld and the sequal today. Kate, Kate, Kate..........
-
I watch 2-3 zombie movies a week for my podcast, and just finished Zombies Zombies Zombies, but the cleanse the pallet last weekend, I watched Lugosi's Murders in the Rue Morgue.
-
Watched a couple episodes of "LAND of the GIANTS", then "THE ALLIGATOR PEOPLE".
-
On the Chiller Channel last night:
The Thing (1982)
(http://www.moviecritic.com.au/images/kurt-russell-john-carpenter-the-thing12.jpg)
I have to say that this is one of the few sci-fi/monster remakes that I enjoy. The remake likes of King Kong (70's or new), War of the Worlds, Planet of the Apes, etc. fall very short of me garnering even a little bit of enjoyment out of them. I'll take the original for these anyday. However, the remake of The Thing actually keeps my attention throughout. As I have mentioned before, I am a sucker when it comes to the arctic being a setting in film and even though I find the original 1951 version superior, and really do not care that much for the special effects in this '82 version, the story and acting hold up nicely here, IMO.
-
Didn't this "Thing" pick up where the original ended? The `51 version was way better, but then this one does have a little somthing going for it---Kurt Russell (even if the bum is going with my obsession Goldie Hawn). This version isn't bad and i thought the story-line held up pretty well, but I agree the original IS way superior.
-
This morning I watched "The Zacherle Archives". Sorry, I got side-tracked above. Kurt Russell = Goldie Hawn = Icreased heartrate and heavy panting.
-
Horrible Horror, hosted by Zacherley...one of the very coolest horror/sci-fi clip reels! Great clips and some very funny stuff from Zach.
-
Horror Host day today. Watched Zacherle, Count Gore DeVol, Dr.Creep, and our own lovely Penny Dreadful. Also joined Penny's Fan Club from her own site.

Continuing our weekly monster installment leading up to Halloween:
Mad Monster Party (1967)
From Rankin/Bass who brought us the likes of Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer comes there attempt at using monsters in a dreadful attempt at entertainment. Though the monsters are neat looking and the sets developed are incredible, someone forgot the dash of Rankin/Bass charm and more importantly a decent story before shooting began. Not even Boris Karloff as Baron Boris von Frankenstein helped much, IMO. Even our 10 year-old thought it only so-so and I found myself nodding off throughout. However, our 5 year-old seemed to find it much more engaging. ;) I "believe" I only saw this once during my childhood, but it never seemed to be an annual showing. Anyone else remember this as being the case? However, maybe I did not see it and just saw stills in a magazine or something.
-
I remember "Mad Monster Party" running very seldom in the 70's. Then in the 80's Tom Hatten would run it maybe once a year on his "Family Film Festival" show, a weekend TV matinee thing that I really enjoyed.
-
Watched the last 1/2 of Squirm on cable. Putting on Man Made Monster as I type this.
-
I watched "The Man Who Laughs" last night. That was the first time I'd seen it. It was a very good movie, but not as dark as I expected based on things I'd read. I watched "Cat and the Canary" and "Waxworks" a few weeks ago. I've been trying to catch up with Paul Leni, a director I've long neglected.
-
Hi, all! New here and just thought I'd respond to this thread...the last horror film that I watched was THE SLIME PEOPLE(1962)..brought back some nostalgic creature feature days.
-
I watched "The Man Who Laughs" last night. That was the first time I'd seen it. .
Never have seen that one. Just clips.
-
Just watched "Curse of Frankenstein". Cushing AND Lee. Enough said.
-
It conquered the world, with Willow. (My 9 year old) Night of the Bloody Apes. Last night Alone, Little to risque for her. LOL Of course some brewskies were mandatory for this one. ;D
-
The Honeymooners.. Late TV
-
The Pearl Of Death(1944) w/Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Rondo Hatton as The Creeper..
-
The Honeymooners
Just 'cause Ralph says that Alice is going to the moon, that don't make it sci-fi. ;)
-
LMAO
-
Just 'cause Ralph says that Alice is going to the moon, that don't make it sci-fi. ;)
Now that's funny.
-
me and my twin watched "Tales of Terror" and Twice Told Tales" tonight, courtesy of neonnoodle. Thanks Rodd, from both of us.
-
I watched "The Blood Drinkers" Sunday. My Blood Island thread got me thinking about it. It had been a couple years since I'd seen it. I think I liked it better this time around. I wish I could see it in its original language with subtitles, but I'm not sure if that version even exists anymore.
-
I watched "The Amityville Horror" (1979 version) last night/this morning. I remembered being scared silly by this movie in theaters back in the day. Nowadays, it's laughably bad. Of course, it's still better than any of the thousand or so sequels, prequels, and remakes ;)
George
-
I watched TORMENTED(1960) late last night with Richard Carlson and Susan Gordon. Funny how Susan is a frequent guest at many horror conventions now after seeing here on-screen here as a child.
-

As my sister said.
-
Just finished watching HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP(1980) with Vic Morrow & Doug McClure..a later years drive-in classic..
-
Watched "Rock and Rule". Mutant decendants of cats and dogs inherit the Earth in an apocalyptic future, then engage in raising a Demon. Canada's answer to"heavy Metal". Love the demented evil Mok, the magic man character's attitude. "Evil spelled backwards is Live".
-
"My name is Mok...Thanks a lot!" Yeah, haven't seen that one in a while but Lou Reed in an animated film, ya gotta love that.
-
Just finished up watching CAT GIRL(1957) w/the ever-lovely Barbara Shelley..
-
I watched TORMENTED(1960) late last night with Richard Carlson and Susan Gordon. Funny how Susan is a frequent guest at many horror conventions now after seeing here on-screen here as a child.
I've owned the Monsters Crash the Pajama Party DVD since the year it was released, and I have yet to sit through TORMENTED. It just doesn't look interesting. Should I give it a chance?
I've also never seen She-Wolf of London, despite having owned the Universal DVD since it first came out many years ago. Maybe I should break down and finally watch that, too.
Nah.
-
Revenge of the Creature
After I watch The Creature Walks Among Us, I'm going to start a whole new Universal Monster cycle watching each of the six legacy collections one film per night until Halloween.
-
Sounds like a great battle plan to me!! I still need to get the Invisible Man Collection.
Last night I finished watching:
The Mummy's Hand
-
Just watched "METRPOLIS" the `26 silent. It struck me while watching, how the Nazi's tried to bring this type system about. What scares me is that today's corporations may suceed. Extreme masters and extreme slave cast. After watching this again (and brooding over gas prices), this future doesn't seem that far fetched. 115 min. of prophesy ?
-
I watched "Silver Bullet" this morning. I hadn't seen it in about twenty years. I'd forgotten that the werewolf looked more like a bear than a wolf ;)
George
-
I watched "The Dead Zone" today. It was another Stephen King movie that I hadn't seen in years, and I was pleased to see it still holds up.

Well, I cant help you with SHE-WOLF because I find it pretty lacklustre..however, TORMENTED is a bit better than that being it is a ghost story..BTW, I watched it as the extra on the Monsters Crash the Pajama Party disc also..
-
Just got through watching CARNIVAL OF SOULS(1962)...a very weird & interesting tale of the supernatural..still holds up well despite being over 40yrs old..
-
On Sunday,when the Lions began their first quarter tailspin, I watched Creature from the Black Lagoon. One of my favorite movies and I get the urge to watch it every autumn. Used to have a Creature air pump in my fish tank when I was a kid. I'd stare at it half the night as it, with arms raised in all its eternal gill-man fury, slowly move back and forth as the air pumped.
This weekend I'm hoping to get the time for a double feature of Amicus' Tales from the Crypt and Vault of Horror (even if Vault is the crappy still-frame PG version).

I really enjoyed this to tell the truth, it brought back some fond memories of Halloweens past for me.
Another thing I really liked on there was the home movie showing the vampire from LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT stalking his victims by climbing out the window into the "outside" living room.(If you've seen this, you know what I'm talking about.) Great stuff! ;D
-
Last film for me today was TROG(1970)..boy, oh, boy does Michael Gough ham it up in this one..lol
-
I watched the American release of "War of the Gargantuas" this morning. I'll probably watch the Japanese version tomorrow.

Continuing our leading up to Halloween family viewing:
The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1966)

Don Knotts has always been, by far, my favorite comedic actor. Just love everything he delivers in this film and also enjoy watching the variety of character actors that make appearances throughout. This one is an annual treat about this time of year and was the first time our kids have watched it with us. Nothing funnier in my book than Knotts describing his body as a "human weapon". :D As I have stated here before, I wish they would have made this particular film into a tv series....kind of a Don Knotts as a Kolchak Nightstalker show.

Dear UMA FANG-MILY,
... Recently, I watched BUBBA HO-TEP, with BRUCE CAMPBELL & OSSIE DAVIS
... And, as part, of a SHAKESPEAREAN Duo, of "Classic" Fooles: our own inimitable MONSTER KID Brother: DAN "THE MAN" ROEBUCK!
... Despite the "R" factor... a GREAT MUMMY HORROR/COMEDY MOVIE... As THE MUMMY would say: "IT"S A WRAP!" ;D
EXANIMO EVERNOW,
TIMMY & THE BARON & FRIENDS, GOO-O-OODD-D!, B.G.G.
-
The latest one for me was THE QUATERMASS X-PERIMENT(1955)
-
REVENGE OF THE CREATURE. With all the rain we're having it set the mood for something wet.
-
Last night I put in one of my favorite classics which I hadn't seen in several years, Island of Lost Souls. Drenched in style and atmosphere, fantastic lighting and photography, in my book this one ranks right up there with the best of the Universal Classics even if it was from Paramount Studios. It was directed by Karl Freund who is no stranger to genre films and in a brilliant performance that blends a strange sense of humor with real insane menace Charles Laughton stole the show. This one really needs a full blown DVD release with all the bells and whistles.

Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter
-
BEWARE! THE BLOB!(1972)
-
I watched the American release of Rodan this morning. I'll be watching the original Japanese release later tonight.
George
-
Watched "Event Horizon" today. Gotta love a movie that combines the dimention Hell, folding physical space, and a spaceship to get there in. If ya gotta be damned, this is the way to get there.
-
Got the Best Buy exclusives today and just finished watching the following:
BRIDES OF FU MANCHU(1966)
CHAMBER OF HORRORS(1966)
IT!(1966)
THE SHUTTERED ROOM(1967)
These brought back great memories this afternoon...
-
The Prestige
-
Rondo Hatton's Brute Man and House of Horrors. I just got the Amok Time figure. 8)
-
" The Land That Time Forgot"
-
I watched "Bubba Ho-Tep" again with my friends tonight. I've been watching the double disc set of "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" off and on all day. It includes the original 1982 release plus the 2002 version with added scenes.

I am probably one of the few people on the planet that does not care for E.T., George. I have tried it many a time and still long for him to whip a big ol' ray gun at the end until they leave him alone. ;D My wife loves it just the way it is and says I have lost my mind....no new news there. However, the score by Johnny Williams is absolutely top-shelf in my book.
-
"E.T" was the first movie that I paid money to go see at the theater multiple times back in the day. I think I saw it six times the summer of 1982, plus countless times on TV and on VHS and now DVD. It remains to this day my favorite movie. And hey, it's a Universal movie, with homages to "This Island Earth" and "War of the Worlds" to boot :)
George

Saw a couple of oldies last night:
THE BRUTE MAN(1946)
DONOVAN'S BRAIN(1952)
THE APE(1940)
-
Watched Night Walkers last night.
-
Saturday I watched Night Stalker -- the original TV Movie. Enjoyed it as much as ever. One of the best examples I've seen of an actor being so pitch-perfect for a part that I can't imagine anyone else in the part.
On Sunday I watched SSSSSS! How cool is that movie? I first saw it with my folks at the Sunset Drive-In on a double feature with The Boy Who Cried Werewolf. The thing I liked best was the transformation at the end -- it reminded me a little of Talbot's).
-
I watched "The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra" today. All fans of Grade Z sci-fi/horror should check this movie out!

Saturday I watched Night Stalker -- the original TV Movie. On Sunday I watched SSSSSS!
2 great 1970's movies! NIGHT STALKER is one of my all-time favorites. I still wish someone would come out with a great-looking Kolchak figure. I've seen some great customs, but I'd like a licensed one.
As for SSSSSSS, it's often corny, but you're right, very entertaining too.

When Sssss was new and playing in theatres, I was the Assistant Manager of the Ritz Theatre in San Bernardino, California and we played it for a week. Back then we didn't have those newfangled automatic answering machines, nope, when we were open we answered the phone live. Now imagine answering the Box Office phone and the person on the other end wants to know what's playing and you'd have to say, "Sssss." They'd say, "What?" You'd repeat "Sssss!" and so on. It was a long week and the phones got very damp from all the hissing.

THE FLESH AND THE FIENDS(1959)

Iron Man, (With the Little one)
Death Becomes her and The Gate
-
Picked up the "IT / SHUTTERED ROOM" at Best Buy, and watched both movies with wife and Josie. Waited years for release of "IT" to dvd, a childhood memory. ;D
-
Bubba Ho-tep again, I love that film. Can't wait for the sequel.....
-
I watched "Iron Man" twice the last couple of days. Great super-hero movie!
George
-
Watched "IRON MAN" last night as well. Short scene appearing after the credits makes me think there might be an AVENGERS movie in the works. I hope so.
-
Really enjoyed Iron Man....was not sure that I would. The only thing that I did not care for was the "big battle" at the end. Does Hollywood know how to write a "big action" sequence anymore? I am beginning to have my doubts.
-
Been watching Iron Man all week as my 3 year old loves the movie. I think by now I have the movie memorized. :o

Was wondering if anyone on this thread might be interested in the following:
Each month, I would like to propse that, for those who are interested, we watch the same movie and then meet at a designated thread to discuss it. Sort of like an online book club, but our genre would be a monster movie. Like a book club, it would benefit those that are contributing to the thread to have viewed the movie in recent times, with a fresh viewing encouraged. The focus of the thread would be only on that movie and direct connections to the film and hopefully we would learn a lot of insights about it here from one another. Kind of a UMA Movie of the Month.
-
Bogey, that sounds like fun! Each individual would bring insights and observations that others may have missed or not though of. I'm up for participating.
-
Just finished watching The Monster Squad 20th anniversery set for the 2nd time in 3 days. Love that film. A real fun ride.
Have also been watching my Masters of Horror collection season 1 box set for the 3rd time. Some great stuff there.
-

I am hoping to learn a lot, as I know little. I am thinking maybe one of the Universal classics that most everyone has access to may be the way to start.

Hocus Pocus (1993)
(http://kmjreviews.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/hocuspocus.jpg)
And that is just what this movie is, fun. Some wonderful over the top colorful sets and characters. In short, a movie that our five year old can enjoy with the rest of us.

This sounds great! I would definetly love to participate in this!
Should be fun. I will post a thread on November 1. This will allow for the October rolls that some folks are (see me for prime example) to finish up their Halloween viewing. :)

If I have the movie, I'm in.
Just watched Night of the Living Dead, the Remake and Beetlejuice.
-
I just watched ALONE IN THE DARK, a sad attempt to turn the video game franchise into a movie franchise. But hey, it starred Tara Reid and Christian Slater.
I also watched the 1st 20 minutes of ZOMBIE STRIPPERS. The best part was, being as I'm in the military, counting all the REALLY obvious mistakes in the 1st 10 minutes of it, and then seeing Robert Englund appear as the owner of an illegal strip club. It did have a few inspired gags, like the 4th term election of Pres W. and his VEEP Schwartzineggar. There may have been more such moments, but I didn't stick around long enough to find out.
Finally watched SCREAM OF THE WOLF. I can only assume this made-for-tv werewolf flick was inspired by the original She-Wolf of London, since I never saw a frickin' werewolf on-screen!
-
At around 5 this morning I watched Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman (from legacy set) on my laptop in the dark basement monster room and wearing good headphones. Enjoyed it a lot though it features a couple loose ends. I really like classic Lon Chaney in this, especially posing as "Mr. Taylor". They sure didn't drag out endings in those days did they? Dam blows up, castle crumbles roll credits! I want to watch some more in this same method - it's so intimate to have a screen that close to one's face and then nice loud headphones to block out that pesky distracting real life.

This weekend I watched Sasquatch and The Mysterious Monsters, continuing a Bigfoot movie marathon I started a couple weeks ago. Next week I will finish up with Curse of Bigfoot and my first-ever viewing of Night of the Demon. Wish me luck on that one.
I also just watched When the Gods Fall Asleep.
-
The Blob (Original) Thanks to Chiller! I had never seen this one........believe it or not!
Halloween II

On Saturday I watched the Criterion release of Fiend Without A Face. Liked it so much that I watched it again with Tom Weaver's commentary. Enjoyed that so much, that I followed up with Creature from the Black Lagoon with Tom Weaver's commentary.
Sunday I watched Konga. "Put me down! Konga! Put me down!"

That's a fun movie. I remember watching it as a kid on the black and white TV I had in my room. Years later, when I found it on DVD, I saw it in color. I think I prefer it in B&W -- it's eerier.

What is your take on this one, George?

I just watched The Shuttered Room and It on a double feature dvd(Best Buy exclusive). Jill Howarth and that other blonde were both gorgeous. the movies were pretty good too. Getting ready to watch the Mummy's Hand in a few minutes.

I picked up a cheap Haplloween Double Features from Walgreens and watched 1936 Sweeney Todd last night. I discovered a new favorite old time creep - Tod Slaughter as the demon barber. Good grief the nicer he is the more your skin crawls. Wonderfully sardonic. I loved this movie. "I'll have you polished off in no time sir!"

May I ask what company produced it? It may be the company for which I work -- we sell a bunch of stuff to Walgreen's. Though I spend most of my time writing children's stories, I do also choose the PD movies my company puts out. Not always great quality, but I do make an effort to find the best prints. We did produce an HD version of Night of the Living Dead, but we never did release it. The replication costs are through the roof. I remember being very happy to find that the Sweeney Todd film available and that the powers that be were willing to release it (they know nothing absolutely nothing about horror -- or any other genre, really -- movies, so I usually get my way with releases).
-
May I ask what company produced it? /quote]
It's marked 2007 PC TREASURES INC....and the other movie was BLOODLUST and a MAGIC MUMMY cartoon!
-
I watched two Bigfoot movies, Night of the Demon and Curse of Bigfoot. This was the first time I'd seen Night of the Demon. As other reviewers have noted, there is a good movie in there somewhere, trying to get out. But it's hopelessly buried under six feet of dung. It would have been better as a short film focusing on the Wanda character.
-
What is your take on this one, George?
I think "Close Encounters" is one of the few 70's sci-fi films that has aged gracefully. The movie is still entertaining and enthralling. It's one of my favorites.
George
-
Beast From Haunted Cave(1960)
Isle Of the Dead(1945)
-
This weekend I watched Dead Alive. It's one of those movies I've had for a long time and never watched. It was ok, but for a gory, oer-the-top movie, I much prefer Re-Animator.
And yup, Packy, my company released that DVD. About five years ago, they asked me to assemble their new line of PD movies. They were for Halloween and were asking for horror movies. I remember wanting it to be special so I wanted to make them double features and add a cartoon. The quality wasn't the best, unfortunately -- we got the best masters we could find, but some of them were in pretty rough shape. We did two silent double features, much to the chagrin of the owners of the company (they sold pretty well, I've heard).
-
Not exactly a monster movie, but I watched "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane" today.

I watched it not long ago, too -- Big Lots had it for $3. Maybe not a horror movie, per se, but, man, that cellar door opening scene near the end was creepier than what's in a lot of horror movies.

Yep, that's where I got my copy. I don't think I'd ever seen the entire movie before, I always managed to miss parts of it on the rare occasions I've spotted it on TV. My only regret about the film is that we don't actually get to see that hamster-killin' pervert die....

In the past week or so i've gotten through the Creature from the Black Lagoon and The Wolfman Universal Legacy Collection sets. Right now i'm halfway through the Dracula and after that are the Frankenstein and The Mummy sets... I love this time of the year!!!
I also DVR'd The Monster of Piedras Blancas which I was really enjoying but stupid MonstersHD decided to run the programs late so the last 15 minutes were cut off. Looks like i'll be ordering that one...

I meant to watch The Invisible Man with my kids tonight,but everyone took off to ballgames,and grandparents,and friends and stuff.So I watched The Happening with my wife and House of Dracula by myself.Well my wife watched some of it but fell asleep.That's no judgement of the movie,it was just getting late.I didn't like The Happening that much.M.Night set the bar very high with The Sixth Sense and has not lived up to it yet.I really enjoyed House of Dracula.It was fun seeing three monsters(four if you count the Dr.)in one film.I wish Frankenstien's monster had played a more significant part though.

Frankenstein (1931)

The Haunted Mansion (2003)
(http://us.ent4.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/walt_disney/the_haunted_mansion/rick_baker/haunted.jpg)
Keeping an eye out for the detail that Rick Baker put into the zombies and other "haunts" was the highlight of this re-watch. Much better the second time around.
-
I watched Just Before Dawn last night. I wish Jeff Lieberman had made more movies in his heyday.
I'm trying to watch movies that take place at night, in the woods, to observe how they light and block those scenes on a low budget.
-
Just watched Legend of Boggy Creek again. I love this movie. It was low budget enough to feel real, with a nicely creepy atmosphere in many scenes. On top of that, you get a monster so scary that it doesn’t even have to physically touch you (it scares a cat to death! Man, not even Frankenstein's monster could do that!). Plus, you get two songs that you must put on your iPod. And the hermit with the ‘bottle tree’ who “walks with a limp because he shot off half his foot in a boating accident.” I'm laughing again just thinking about it.
A lot of fun.

When I saw my 3 year old playing with his small cowboy figures and his big dinosaur, the light bulb went on in my head and I thought he would love this movie. Since then, I have seen it 10 times. LOL!!!!
Now, he loves playing with my GORT robot so we watched The Day the Earth Stood Still roughly 4 times.

Last night I watched I Bury the Living again. Hadn't seen it in a few years. Very good movie (even considering the ending!).

If there were any way to delete any of the Nick Nolte scenes then it may have been watchable IMO.....actually, come to think of it, that still may not have saved it for me. What were your thoughts kklloo?

Of Gods and Monsters.Pretty good film.Brenden Frasier actually shows some chops.Anyone know how acurate this movie is?Did James Whale really come up with the Frankenstein monster's look?I always assumed it was Jack Pierce,the legendary make-up artist.

and about 12 minutes of An American Werewolf In Paris, before sighing again and walking away from the tv.
-
Well, it was supposed to be the 1979 version of Nosferatu but the online movie company sent us the original. Nothing wrong with that except I own that one. So, technically I guess it would be "Mad Monster Party" as far as the last one viewed.
-
THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND(1929)
-
Watched "The Mole People", followed with "The Dunwich Horror". Still think it's one of the better Lovecraft adaptations. Tonight watching "Beware, the Blob" and "Re-Animator". October always seems to put me into a Lovecraft mood each year with it's chilly temperatures.
-

I liked the Hulk. IMO, they made the movie as close to the comic as well as the TV series as they could have. The Hulk is a tough character for a movie. He never had a main villian and Bruce Banner was a loner just trying to find a cure all over the world. I guess the main villian is the army, and I believe the comics was the same but it's not like an arch enemy. I didn't think Liv Tyler did such a great job as I thought she was a little dry and unemotional, but I took the movie for what it was. A comic book movie, but with that said: it was not better than Batman or Iron Man and I have yet to see the second Hellboy, but I think I would like that better than the Hulk, but overall it kept me and my little guy entertained as we were watching it.
Also, another complaint I had was the CGI. I didn't like it too much. I still felt it was too cartoony looking. I think the Abomination looked a bit better than the Hulk. I also liked the fact that you didn't see the Hulk leap tall stories but you kind of got the impression he did. I think if they would have showed that, it would have looked fake or really cartoonish like the Ang Lee version. Overall, I liked it and have watched it twice thus far.
-
Thanks for the follow up. For me the story did not hold up either. Maybe they should of just followed the comic book. More tanks being thrown around and
less no dialogue may have made me want to watch it again.
My friend who has worked on a couple Marvel movies once asked me what I thought would make a great feature. I told him that Spiderman 4 should have the Hulk vs. The Rhino and it is just two hours of smasing buildings with an occasional wise crack from Spidey who is constantly saving innocent bystanders from the falling rubble. No sub-plots. No character development. No anything. That's it. Right from the first frame until the last frame. Smash!
'Nuff said. ;)

My friend who has worked on a couple Marvel movies once asked me what I thought would make a great feature. I told him that Spiderman 4 should have the Hulk vs. The Rhino and it is just two hours of smasing buildings with an occasional wise crack from Spidey who is constantly saving innocent bystanders from the falling rubble. No sub-plots. No character development. No anything. That's it. Right from the first frame until the last frame. Smash!
You never know, you may see the Hulk in the next Avengers movie. Maybe he'll get to smash some more stuff. He was one of the originals and Tony Stark did appear at the end. I am looking forward to that and the Watchmen.

Absolutely. Fingers are crossed at this end as well. In my comic collecting hey-day I had a complete run of Avengers (1-212 I believe). really fun stuff. Sold them off with the rest of my collection, and fortunately still do not regret it much as it furnished our basement and bought us some stereo equipment. Would like to see how they pull off an Ant-Man if they went with the original line-up.
-
He never had a main villain and Bruce Banner was a loner just trying to find a cure all over the world. I guess the main villain is the army, and I believe the comics was the same but it's not like an arch enemy.
Wasn't there a character called the Leader that was always engaging the Hulk in the late `60's or something? I could be wrong, it's been so many years since I've even read a hulk comic. As far as Henry Pym I would prefer him as Ant-Man, I liked his other identities but liked Ant-Man best.
-
I cannot remember the sequence but maybe Hollywood could also have him transform into Giant-Man, Goliath, and then Yellowjacket....all in the same movie! :D
-
You got the sequences in the proper order.

Not good. :D

Why not, that marks you as a true fan past or current.

Watched "Beware, The Blob" and "Re-Animater".
-
Watched Ed Wood.I researched this after watching it and found out Martin Landoe won an Oscar for playing Bela Lugosi.How ironic that after making all these bad movies,a movie about his life nets someone an Oscar.Haha.I love it.
-
Last night my son and I watched:
Candyman - It was not about the life and times of Sammy Davis Jr. ;D
The Screaming Skull
The Werewolf vs. The Vampire Woman - Really fun flick
The Werewolf vs. the Vampire woman starred Paul Naschy as a cool Werewolf. The main girl/love interest character's name was Elvira, which I thought was funny.

If this was your first exposure to Paul Naschy's series of Spanish werewolf movies, you're in for a treat; he's made something like 10 of them! They're not all good, but they are all fun. :D

I must admit it is my first. I knew about Paul Naschy but never watched any of his movies. Now 'm on a quest!!

The Strangers
The LAst House in the Woods

Last night's fun included:
Cult of the Cobra
Phantasm
Phantasm III
If they would release Phantasm II on DVD it would be helpful.

Halloweentown (1998) (TV)
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/44/Disney_-_Halloweentown.jpg/200px-Disney_-_Halloweentown.jpg)
Absolutely dreadful.....but the kiddos enjoyed it! ;D
Also:
The Devil Bat (1940)
(http://www.newanimal.org/devil_bat_lugosi.jpg)
My wife had to opt out of this one due to it being "that bad". However, my son and I enjoyed it on many levels while my 5 year-old daughter snuck as many peeks as possible by finding excuses to get out of bed.

I'll give any movie a chance. Heck, I like the bad ones as long as they're not boring. Konga crossed the line into boredom for most of its running time.

Dr.Jekyll & Mr.Hyde(1932)
Horror Island(1941)
-
Continuing my Halloween tradition I watched "Dracula vs Frankenstein" and "Mad Monster Party" tonight. Watch these two the week of Halloween every year.
-
Big Lots has gone nuts and has recently been offering some surprisingly good DVDs. Don't know how long they've been doing it (I don't go there very often), but over the past month I was able to pick up:Konga; An Evening with Kevin Smith 2; the uncut edition of The Professional; Mysterious Island and a bunch more -- all for $3! Wish they'd get in some more classic horror...
This weekend I watched Mysterious Island (enjoyed the Harryhausen documentary better than the movie, which needed a lot more monsters)
Also watched the original Alien. When watching, I always consider the monster as one of Lovecraft's Old Ones.
CreepysFan -- just yesterday I got out my copy of Mad Monster Party to watch later this week. As a kid, I had it bad for Francesca.
-
For stop-motion animation Francesca was pretty sexy, but my childhood crush was Angelique of Dark Shadows. Still, if I had a life sized living Francesca........well getting back on track, earlier today I watched "From Beyond". Nowhere as good as Lovecraft's original story, but they kept it close enough to be enjoyable. I tend to be a little to critical of Lovecraft related items, but still usually try to enjoy them.

the phantom ship

Just got done watching LOST BOYS: THE TRIBE. Best part of it was turning it off. Corey Feldman did his best to re-use every line of dialog he had in the original film, yet he couldn't even do that with any flare or dignity. Corey Haims wisely did NOT reprise his role in this film... though he did appear in the Alternate Endings and the scene that oh-so cleverly interrupts the closing credits. Angus Sutherland has no acting talent, and even his voice is an affront to those without the foresight to mute to movie.
To be fair, it probably would have made a marginally successful made-for-tv sequel; the production quality was decent and the gore-factor is lighter than most of these kind of movies (lots of blood, but none of it that graphic). Too bad the movie worked so hard to throw nudity in; they could have accomplished the same effect with just a few seconds and let the actress and the audience maintain some shreds of dignity.
If I ever watch this dvd again (which I now deeply regret purchasing), it will probably just be for the boobs.
And next time, I'll put it on mute.
-
TWISTED BRAIN(1973)
MAN MADE MONSTER(1941)
-
Teated myself to "House of Wax (`53 version) with Vincent Price, and "The Ghoul" with Boris Karloff.
-
Tonight I watched "Critters", "The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll", and "Curse of the Mummy's Tomb". "Critters" was definitely the best of the three films.
George
-
MOnday night we watched Creature from the Black Lagoon I admit I was too tired and passed out. Last night we watched The Wolf Man. My wife started in on the old "different pants" thing to which I kindly reminded her - these movies are beyond critiquing. They are the original monster movies. Different pants so what? Our first house didn't have a dishwasher either. Just watch it Baby! Tonight: The Mummy.
-
Been watching newer movies, yesterday watched: Dark Floors
-
Watched the Kubrick classic "2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY" tonight.
-
"Last Man on Earth" Starring Vincent Price
-
Finally got to see It! Conquered the World last night (thanks Ron at Creepy Classics) and loved it!!!!
-
I watched "The Gorgon" this morning. While certainly not the best screen version of the creatures from Greek mythology, it's still an entertaining movie.
George
-
Just watched The Severed Arm again. I remember first seeing it years ago and being horrified when the guys trapped in the mine were rescued, considering what they had just done.
Re-watching all these years later, I laughed at the situation -- it was like something you'd see in Monty Python (or the South Park episode where they were snowed in and kept eating people).
-
Hey All,
Since this is the Halloween Season, I've had my DVD player on overtime.
Earlier this week was Halloween ('78), House of Dracula and Scars of Dracula.
Tonight is Salem's Lot (the 3 hour fest) and
Halloween Night: Dracula ('31) The Mummy ('32) and 30 Days of Night.
Happy Halloween!
-
I just watched the remake of Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3D.I enjoyed the effects
and think that the process has improved quite a bit over the years.
-
The Mummy(1932)
The Invisible Man(1933)
Mark Of the Vampire(1935)
I Walked With A Zombie(1943)
-
Last night The Mummy
Tonight after the pumkin dies - Dracula
Friday night so kids can stay up as late as they're able to watch with Mom and Dad.
-
On Halloween I saw PART of 30 Days of Night, SleepWalkers, Little Shop of Horrors, and Lost Boys. The only one I got to watch completely was 28 Days Later.
Earlier in the week I watched Lost Boys: The Tribe. Avoid this one.
-
I decided to watch some of the DVDs I've accumulated recently but hadn't watched yet, so tonight I watched :
Sleepy Hollow
Rosemary's Baby
Thinner
"Sleepy Hollow" and "Rosemary's Baby" are both decent Halloween viewing. I was a little let down by "Thinner", but at least I finally got to see it. It's one of several Stephen King films I'd never seen before.
George
-
Last Night, I watched "Die, Monster Die!" on TCM. It was....okay. Nick Adams is not a particular favorite.

-
Hats off to all of you real monsters!!! Very happy to join you guys!!! ;)
I watched Island of Lost Souls (1932) at 1:30am yesterday on local channel. It was worth staying up that late.
-
Welcome,Rick.
You have just joined the best site on the web.
Pull up a chair and stay awhile.
-
Welcome Rick, and I love your eye avatar. Just watched "The Vampire Lovers" with Peter Cushing and Ingrid Pitt.
-
Thanks to you guys! ;)
-
I watched three movies tonight:
Earth Vs the Spider
War of the Colossal Beast
The Howling
It had been many years since the last time I saw "The Howling". I'd totally forgotten that good ol' Uncle Forry has a cameo in the bookstore scene. Given his current health issues, it was kinda cool to see him in his prime once again.
George
-
Uncle Forry aslo has a longer acting part in "Dracula vs Frankenstein".
-
Currently watching QUATERMASS II (the original 6 part BBC serial).
http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A%22Quatermass%20II%22 (http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A%22Quatermass%20II%22)

...saw "The Howling". I'd totally forgotten that good ol' Uncle Forry has a cameo in the bookstore scene.
I watched The Howling a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed seeing FJA, too. He also had a cameo in Dead Alive. I remember in that one, he was reading the FM book released in (I think) '86.
I just watched Fantastic Four (the '94 version), and the Heroes of Horror set from the Biography channel. I never get tired of seeing those bios.
-
The Ghoul with Boris Karloff
Did you recently break out a Karloff box set, Jim?
-
Just now finished "Countess Dracula" with Ingrid Pitt. She's one vampire who can put the bite on me anytime.
-
Did you recently break out a Karloff box set, Jim?
Nope, my timing was just right to catch it on TCM.
-
I just watched my new DVD copy of "The Picture of Dorian Gray". It's one of my favorite 1940's horror films.
George
-
It! The Terror from Beyond Space (1958)
Terrore nello spazio (1965) aka Planet of the Vampires
Good atmospheric stuff.
-
I just watched "Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla" (1974). I got a good price on several Godzilla DVDs I needed recently, so I'll finally get to see several of the movies in the series that had eluded me in the past.
George
-
Watched a double feature today: Son of Dracula and Son of Frankenstein. Haven't seen them in awhile, but Son of Frankenstein pulls ahead due to Lugosi/Karloff though.
-
Just watched "Cry of the Banshee" and " Scream, and Scream Again". A Vincent Price night.
-
"Horror Express" (C Lee and P Cushing). Wonderful movie - Missing link/Yeti removes all memory from victim's brains leaving brain surface smooth - they even say "this brain is smooth as a baby's bottom" and in the process boils their eyeballs. Plenty of blood. Turns out to possibly be Satan? Merely take a hypo and suck juice out of monster's eyeball (nice macro view), examine under microscope and you will see everything it ever saw including some dinosaurs. Memorable line: "The stink of evil is on this train and the dog knows it." What's not to love? The End
-
I watched "Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla II" (1993) this morning. This version of Mecha-G is more high tech, but I still love the goofy original Mecha-G. He looked much more menacing in his original form.
George
-
Dracula Has Risen From the Grave(1968)
Tower Of Evil(1972)
Demons Of the Mind(1972)
-
Last night, The Time Bandits. Timeless fun!
-
Last night, The Time Bandits. Timeless fun!
Have not seen that one in an age, Jim. I need to rewatch and I bet my 10 year old son would enjoy as well.
-
House of Dracula and since I just acquired a Nosferatu bust i was in the mood to watch....Nosferatu
-
Die, Monster Die
-
Today I watched "Godzilla Vs Megaguirus" (2000).
George
-
Today was another double feature featuring Lugosi/Karloff: The Black Cat and The Raven
-
Hammer's version of "The Mummy" with Cushing and Lee.
-
Last night/this morning I finished up my unwatched Godzilla DVDs by watching "Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla" (2002) and "Godzilla : Tokyo S.O.S." (2003). I'm a sucker for Mothra, so I enjoyed the second film much more, even though it basically retreads "Mothra Vs Godzilla" (1964).
George
-
This morning I just watched "the Web Planet" (Wm. Hartnell) and "Ark in Space" (Tom Baker), two Dr.Who episodes. I had forgot just how long this Hartnell story was. (whew)
-
House of the Dead II (possibly a good candidate for so bad it's good)
Cronenburg's The Fly
Chocolate (Masters of Horror series)
Supernatural episode with Dracula, Wolf Man, & the Mummy
I love living in the digital age! Such a marathon would have been impossible for a guy in the Middle East 30 years ago.
-
I picked up the new "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" DVD today, and I'm still working on the special features. Awesome movie!
George
-
Yeah, I just got the 3 disc special edition Tuesday from Amazon.. I plan on watching it right now.
-
Just watched BEHIND THE MASK (quirky gem that slasher fans should get a kick out of) and... HELLBOY II (still don't think it lived up to the first movie, but visually it is quitye spectacular).
-
Chocolate (Masters of Horror series)
How are those Masters of Horrors, anyway? I've seen a couple of them in the Wal-Mart $4.50 Pit-of-Movies. Do they live up to the reputations of the guys who are making them?
As for recent movies I've watched:
Freaks
The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms
Reptilicus (I say it every time I see it "...wow...")
The Sir Graves Ghastly DVD I bought at the Motor City Convention a few years ago that shows all known existing clips of that late great horror host)
-
Enjoyed a mini Dark Shadows marathon. About eight or nine episodes.
-
Hellboy 2
-
Hellboy 2

-
Yesterday O.D.ed on Dark Shadow episodes, plan on more today.
-
Late last night I put in an old VHS of Voodoo Man with Bela Lugosi, George Zucco and John Carridine. It was complete with commercials from 1988, sort of a trip back in time.
-
one of my all-time favorites, "PLANET OF THE APES" with Charleton Heston and Roddy McDowell.
Seconded.
-
Over the weekend:
The Mummy's Hand
The Mummy's Tomb
-
I picked up "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" yesterday in the Wal-Mart $5.00 bin. It's not exactly a genre film, but it *does* have alot of cool cameos:
Ron Perlman
Robert Picardo!
And a slew of familiar monsters and aliens including:
The Man from Planet X
Robot Monster
The Metalunan Mutant from "This Island Earth"
A couple of Daleks
A Triffid
One of the brain monsters from "Fiend Without a Face"
Kevin McCarthy and a pod from "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"
and Robby the Robot
There's also a reference to the giant ants from "Them!"
George
-
Tower Of London(1939)
-

The Last Starfighter
-
I just watched "Wall-E" this morning. Awesome movie! I've yet to see a bad Pixar film.
George
-
I Was A Teenage Frankenstein and Some Times They Come Back.
-
Night Gallery(1969)
Splatter Disco(2008)
-
Beneath the Planet of the Apes
-
The Monster that Challenged the World
-
Just watched Phantom of the Opera (1925) on TCM. Fantastic!
-
I watched part of the Phantom and part of the Hunchback on TCM and all the while I was thinking that this was an evening of TCM that Meek would have enjoyed. The "Guest Programmer" was Ray Bradbury. It was good to see him discussing some of his favorite films with Robert Osborne.
-
Frankenstein(1931)
The Witches(1966)
The Mole People(1956)
Gargoyles(1972)
-
Likewise Jim and Kharis, I saw Phantom of the Opera on TCM...haven't seen it in awhile and enjoyed it.
-
Dark Floors - what was up with that off-the-rack Halloween costume monster?
-
Beneath the Planet of the Apes
Underrated IMO.
-
Curucu, Beast Of the Amazon(1956)
-
I tried very hard to watch Monster A-go-go last night, but boredom got the better of me and I went to bed before it was all over. Bad movie, just bad.
-
Last night I watched:
- Dracula vs. Frankenstein (didn't really feel this one, there were some good parts, but not enough. I am a big fan of 70's European horror, such as The Werewolf vs. the Vampire Woman, The Vampire Happening and The Vampire's Night Orgy among my favorites, but this one was tedious. Dracula's voice effects? Made him sound like a clown IMO.)
- Count Gore's Creature Feature: The Ghoul (always enjoy the Count's show)
-
House Of 1,000 Dolls(1967)
-
Ghost Story (1981)
-
I picked up a collection of the Fleischer Superman cartoons recently and finally sat down and watched them this weekend. I hate to admit that I'd only ever seen one of them all the way through before this ("The Arctic Giant", the dinosaur episode). It was kinda cool to finally see all of them.

George,
Those are easily my favorite animated works, period........the only one that comes close is the Iron Giant.
-
TARANTULA(1955)
I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN(1957)
BLOOD OF DRACULA(1957)
-
Don't ask me why but I got sucked into watching the movie........................ TWILIGHT. Worst flick I ever seen.
-
Invasion of the Saucermen - Thanks, Jim!
-
RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR - This Italian flick is atrocious. I don't want to spoil this for anyone, but the only thing that could actually spoil it is watching it.
-
A Taste Of Fear(1961)
The Invisible Boy(1957)
-
One Body Too Many(1944)
-
Devilman (2004) - It was everything you'd expect a 1977 Manga series to be, but in live action. That's not really a good thing. Fans of anime such as Neon genesis: Evangelion and Akira will probably enjoy it more than I did.
-
The Zombie Chronicles(2001)
-
Last night I popped the original "King Kong" and "Son of Kong" into the DVD player. I would have watched "Mighty Joe Young" as well, but I nodded off at the end of SOK as Mr. Armstrong is hugging Ms. Mack.
-
Watched "Escape from the Planet of the Apes", "Godzilla: Final Wars", and laugh-in episodes (No horror but plenty of Goldie Hawn, 'nuff said ).
-
Gorgo and Young Frankenstein the night before Thanksgiving.
-
Finally watched THE BOY WHO CRIED WEREWOLF. Very worthy addition to the genre, but man, that kid was annoying!
-
The past 2 days:
The Mummy's Ghost
Shilling Shockers: Horror Hotel
-
The Night Strangler (Kolchak movie), and Conquest of the Planet of the Apes.
-
The Evil Dead
-
El Conte Dracula with Herbert Lom and Christopher Lee, Psycho (1960).
-
The Night Strangler (Kolchak movie), and Conquest of the Planet of the Apes.
You'd be hard pressed to have a better Friday night viewing than that CF.
-
I watched "Kung Fu Panda" and "The Incredible Hulk" (the 2008 movie) the last couple of days.
George
-
Stephen King's "Desperation"
-
Quatermass 2 Enemy From Space. I got a nice factory Copy for 50 cents the other day. ;D
-
Watched "Battle for the Planet of the Apes" and "Taste the Blood of Dracula"
-
Double Feature--When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth and Caveman--one inspired the other.
-
Dear UMA FANG-MILY,
... I watched THE MAGIC SWORD, on TMC, yesterday {Sat, Nov. 29th}, with BASIL RATHBONE, as the evil Mage, LODAC.
... I hadn't seen this film, since its theatrical release, in AD 1962, when I was a young MONSTER KID, age 13 years.
... I noticed, that, the OGRE'S Mask {the 1st, of 7 curses} was a scant remodeling, of the mask, from THE MONSTER ON CAMPUS {AD 1958}, which bore its lineage, from A&C MEET DR. J. & MR. H, with BORIS in the Title role {AD 1953}.
... HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
EXANIMO EVERNOW,
TIMMY & THE BARON & FRIENDS, GOO-O-OODD-D!, B.G.G.
-
Yesterday I watched a movie someone gave us, by Troma Films called Terra Firma. It had its moments. Feeling compelled to gargle my brain, my Sweetie-pie and I then watched Bride of Frankenstein last night. Aaaah that's better.
-
Just watched the Unholy Three which was a VHS film that Jim was nice enough to send to me.
-
Voodoo Woman. Another VHS that Jim Sent me. :)

Rob
-
HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY(2008)
20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA(1954)
PUMPKINHEAD(1989)
-
The Land Unknown. Have not seen this in at least 30 +years. Tho not as good as The land/people time forgot , Mysterious Island . Journey to the Center of the Earth etc this is still a mid quality for it's time typical people get stuck on an isolated island with dinosaurs. The T-Rex HAD to be a guy in a rubber suit. Out of 5 I'd give this 2 1/2 stars.
The Deadly Mantis. I Luvs me giant bug films. Another I have not seen since the 70's. The first 30+ mins is all formulaic what is it where did it come from. After that it gets pretty cool and the end in the tunnel over turning 4 inch tin litho cars is a fun view. So the next time I watch I'll hit it at around the 30 min mark to start. 3 outta 5 stars.
-
Watched "Dawn of the Dead" `78 version, and three episodes of "Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp".
-
Witches (Hammer), Day of the Day.
-
Last night watched Return of the living dead.
-
Over the long weekend I watched:
Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem (would like to say it was good, but any potential enjoyment was ruined by the fact the picture was so dark I couldn't tell what was going on.)
The Black Dahlia (book was better, of course, but actually the movie was not too bad. Blue Dahlia was better ;).)
Throne of Blood (some really nice, creepy scenes in this retelling of Macbeth, and starring one of my favorites, Toshiro Mifune.)
The House on Haunted Hill (again and again and again...no matter how many times I've seen it, I never get tired of this movie.)
Godzilla Vs. Megalon (the Mystery Science Theater version -- I was lucky enough to get Volume 10 before it was pulled from the shelves.)
-
HALLOWEEN(2007)
MURDER IN THE BLUE ROOM(1944)
FRANKENSTEIN: THE TRUE STORY(1973)
-
I watched a couple of recent bootleg purchases:
Godzilla Vs Megalon
Godzilla Vs Biollante
I'm still kicking myself for missing out on the MST3K version of "Megalon" though :( I'm now three movies away from having all of Godzilla's films to date. I originally set out to just pick up all the Showa Era films ("Gojira" to "Terror of Mechagodzilla"), but I snagged a few good deals on enough of the Heisei and Millenium Era films that I just figured I might as well get all of them.

I'm surprised that people can actually make it thru this thing. Much much worse than even Plan 9, IMO.

Continuing Planet of the Apes theme with episodes from TV show, and "Gamera: Revenge of Iris" movie.
-
As a tribute to Uncle Forry - and in his memory - I watched "Dracula vs Frankenstein" and "The Howling". Two movies he made cameo appearances in. Rest in peace Forry Ackerman.

I watched "Scrooge" this morning. Not exactly a horror film, but it does have some creepy ghosts in it.

"The Gorgon" is definitely the best movie on that set. I picked up a copy shortly before Halloween.

I picked up a WB Sci-Fi Double Feature DVD yesterday that includes "Moon Zero Two" and "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth". This was released recently as a Best Buy exclusive. I bought it to replace my tired old homemade VHS tape of "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth". It's not the greatest cavemen vs dinosaur movie ever made, but the stop-motion critters are worth the price of admission. I found this copy yesterday at my semi-local Best Buy store. I had tried to order it online a couple of weeks ago, but apparently the scalpers are already selling this thing for $45-75 on eBay and Amazon. I discovered with a little research that some Best Buy stores had pulled their copies of this set after receiving complaints about some nudity in the dinosaur film. It appears that Warner Brothers inadvertently used the European cut of the movie, which has three or four scenes with very brief nudity, instead of the G-rated American cut. Luckily for me, Best Buy is apparently only pulling this set in individual stores that have received complaints, instead of just yanking it company-wide. I was just happy to get the set for $18.01 with tax instead of paying a scalper through the nose ;)

Watched "Werewolf vs Vampire Women" today, wasn't very impressed with it. Watching Bogey's avatar shape changing is more exciting than this movie was (Bogey must be related to X-Men's Mystique). I accually fell asleep during the movie, and that doesn't happen often while watching movies.
-
This morning episodes of "Planet of the Apes" and "Lost in Space".

The Blob! I only live about 20 or so miles from where it was made

"The Devil Commands"

First off, I did not pay for this. My brother and me treat each other to movies and he payed for this one, other wise I wasn't inclined to see this. We saw "The Day The Earth Stood Still". As a Sci-Fi movie it wasn't too bad, but as a remake it REALLY sucked. This was not a remake, it was a total RE-WRITE. There was nothing even close to the original story. The only similarity I saw was in the title and a few names. Once I accepted I was watching an ALL NEW movie, and not the one I was promised, then I kinda started enjoying it. I have the perfect glorious original version in my DVD collection, this one will not make it in. But I did get to spend quality time with my brother.

I was wondering about this film Jim.........I had no illusions it would live up to the original, but after finding out that Keanu Reeves was its star, I couldn't bring myself to go.
Good grief, this guy must have compromising pictures of every studio exec in Hollywood. Talentless hack. A redwood tree is less wooden.
-
I beg to differ. Keanu was great in River's Edge, a movie our own Danny Robuck Stared in. He was also great in Matrix One, and Constantine. He was also pretty good in Point Break. :) I have not seen this movie but, I am going this week. I will let you know, what I think. HHW
-
Differ we shall then, I'm afraid. I've never seen even a passing performance by Keanu. The last attempt I made was in "Devil's Advocate" with Al Pacino and Keanu. That pretty much did it for me.

I agree: Reeves was good in River's Edge and Point Break, no he isn't a great actor, but some roles fit him. Only seen parts of the original, but this role may fit him as well.
I really don't want to see The Day the Earth Stood Still, however my wife is a huge sci fi fan, (I'm the horror fan) therefore I will be seeing it soon.
However, last movie: I Am Legend (again, love this movie)

Orochi, The Eight-Headed Dragon--a strange Toho film that at times seemed more like a Chinese martial arts movie. The dragon looked like a bunch of leftover Ghidrah heads thrown together. It was funny though. Anyome else seen this one?

-
We saw The Spirit this evening. It's worth seeing for it's visuals and style, but it is not worthy of its source material story wise.
-
Yesterday I watched "Seventh Voyage Of Sinbad" and "Dark Knight". Love Ray Harryhausen's Cyclops in the Sinbad movie, though his Ymir from "20 million miles to Earth" is still my favorite creature from him.

Watched "Golden Voyage Of Sinbad" this afternoon. As far as the "Spirit" goes, the `70's Warren magazines of The Spirit by Eisner are worth checking out. I had my doughts about how the movie would go, maybe rent it when it hits DVD.

Over the holidays, my 17 year old great nephew stayed with my wife & I for six days. I (at his request), bombarded him with some choice (and not so choice) flicks. I must say, he is a rather unique youngster, in my opinion. A great guitarist, A & B honor role, no drugs or drinking and eager to devour the "classics" in both music & film. Here's the line-up...
Sunday -
MAY (2002) and THE INCREDIBLE TWO-HEADED TRANSPLANT (1971)... He enjoyed both of them.
Monday -
FRANKENSTEIN ('31) CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF ('61) GOJIRA ('54)... He was blown away by Karloff & Co. A BRAND NEW Universal fan! He loved COTW, but fell asleep 3/4 the way into the Big G.
Tuesday -
MY BLOODY VALENTINE ('81) and THE WICKER MAN ('73)... He loved the latter.
Wednesday -
HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER ('86) and THE HAUNTING ('63)... "Henry" was intense and he thought "Haunting" was awesome and spooky.
Thursday -
THE DARK ('79)... He thought it was corny. THE OMEN ('76)... He loved it. EATEN ALIVE ('77)... He really enjoyed it's outrageousness.
All in all, he told me he was most impressed with FRANKENSTEIN and CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF, so I guess I did my job!

With the exception of the old Fleischer Superman cartoons, this is easily my favorite piece of animation....ever. Great story and beautifully told. Plus, you gotta give it up for our fellow monster/sci-fi fan Hogarth.
Totally agree! my brother and I are very big fans. We cry every time we watch it. His dream is to own the huge Iron Giant Robot but right now its out of the price range. I did find him a small figure, which made him pretty happy. In the summertime, during our outdoor movie nights, I try to play this one as often as I can because most kids have never seen it!

Review:
Horror was a household mainstay in the '70s, with the small screen hosting a deluge of original made-for-TV movies. The undisputed giant of TV terror during that era was producer Dan Curtis. Famous for his work as the producer behind the original "Night Stalker" (1972) TV movie and its sequel, "The Night Strangler" (1973), which introduced the world to reporter Carl Kolchak, and also for being the producer behind the supernatural soap opera "Dark Shadows" (1966-1971) as well as the classic made-for-TV anthology "Trilogy of Terror" (1975), which featured one of the most memorable movie monsters ever – the diminutive Zuni hunting fetish that declares a jihad on Karen Black – Curtis' extensive work in bringing a number of adaptations of classic Gothic literature to television is lesser known.
Beginning in 1968 with "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," starring Jack Palance (who took over the lead for the originally cast Jason Robards, when scheduling conflicts forced Robards to bow out), and continuing on with adaptations of "Dracula" (also starring Palance) in 1973, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" in '73 and this two-part production of "Frankenstein," also from '73, Curtis' run of Gothic adaptations finished in '74 with Henry James' "The Turn of the Screw."
"Frankenstein" was produced by ABC as part of its late-night anthology program "Wide World Mystery" (which ran from 1973 to 1976), a series that was meant to provide stiff competition against NBC's The Tonight Show. "Frankenstein" was an ambitious attempt by Curtis to be more faithful to elements of Mary Shelley's novel – such as portraying an articulate version of the monster – than previous adaptations had been. Unfortunately Curtis was limited from the start by the modest means of television. So while this new adaptation was handled intelligently by writers Sam Hall and Richard Landau (with input from Curtis), much of the scope and scale of the novel had to be minimized. That means there's no framing segments set in the Artic; Captain Walton doesn't exist in this adaptation to hear the cautionary tale of Victor Frankenstein and his Creature. And Curtis can't even afford anything so spectacular as the climatic burning windmill that the 1931 film provided. Instead this adaptation focuses on character, an approach that pays off.
Familiar TV favorite Robert Foxworth stars as Victor Frankenstein and he gives a fine, if not quite stellar, performance. Whether due to the demands of television of that era or Curtis' own artistic instincts, this is the first sympathetic portrayal of Dr. Frankenstein. He's determined, yes, and he is responsible for much misery but yet he's not the raving, manic character that Colin Clive portrayed in the original "Frankenstein" or the remorseless figure that Peter Cushing essayed in 1957's "The Curse of Frankenstein." I wonder if Curtis (or network executives) simply feared that the TV audiences of the time would be put off by a central character too deliberately callous and softened Victor accordingly.
As the monster (identified in the credits as 'The Giant'), Bo Svenson holds his ground with any of the exceptional actors who have come before or after him in the role. Being most familiar with Svenson for taking over the role of Sheriff Buford Pusser (from actor Joe Don Baker) in the two theatrical sequels to 1973's hit "Walking Tall" (as well as continuing the role in a short-lived early '80s TV series), his sensitive performance here was a genuine surprise to me. Svenson is so good it's regretful that he couldn't join Foxworth and actor John Karlan – who plays the ill-fated lab assistant Otto – on this disc's entertaining commentary track as I would've enjoyed hearing his thoughts on the role.
As the first articulate version of the creature on film, Svenson does an expert job of portraying the monster's torment without over-selling it. As always in Frankenstein adaptations, we want the monster to succeed but know he can't. Svenson's monster may have a leg up on the Boris Karloff and Christopher Lee versions in that he learns to express himself through language but he's just as destined to be rejected. Even if you speak the King's English, if you're something that was sewn together with dead body parts and jump-started by lightening, no one wants to take the time to look past that and get to know the real you.
On a visual level, seeing a Frankenstein's monster that sports a shag cut and blonde hair (he looks like a Hulked-out version of actor Owen Wilson) takes some getting used to but Svenson's performance quickly won me over. The make-up job of Mike Westmore remains a curious piece of work, however. The brilliance of make-up artist Jack Pierce's iconic design in the original Frankenstein was its functionality. Everything on Karloff's creature had a specific purpose. The scar across the top of the head was where the skull was cut open to insert the brain; the electrodes on the neck were obviously there to receive the life-giving electric current. But with all respect to Westmore's talents, the look of the creature here is a big case of “huh?”
Granted, everyone who's designed a version of Frankenstein's monster since Pierce has been at a disadvantage because Pierce created such an indelible (and copyrighted by Universal studios) look but I couldn't help but puzzle over Westmore's decision to apply random scars to Svenson's face. There's scars across his cheeks, around his nose, on his forehead and not just scars or cuts but surgical stitches. It's a look that doesn't imply a man sewn together from the parts of the dead so much as it suggests someone who dove face first through a pane of glass.
As a whole, "Frankenstein" is an admirable accomplishment but it's also unmistakably a work of its time with its shot on video, stage-bound look lending it the feel of a situation comedy or SNL sketch (Victor's efforts to hide the Creature from uninvited visitors to his lab beg for the eruptive laughter of a studio audience). And with director Glenn Jordan holding single shots for long stretches of dialogue and laying a heavy hand on the dramatic zooms – and with the occasional community theater-level performance (keep an eye out for Edgar Daniels as the Innkeeper) – this really does seem like a long lost relic of an earlier era (composer Robert Cobert even lifts some of his own cues for this score from his work on Dark Shadows). But I found it to be an earnest, appealing reminder of a time when fans could appreciate something more low key without regarding it as a chore.

Watched "Don't be Afraid of the Dark" with Kim Darby, and went out to the Theater to see "My Bloody Valentine-3D" (Wifes idea, got to keep the master happy).
-
Godzilla Vs. Megaguirus (Japanese lanquage, no subtitles!)
The Werewolf (with Don Megowan & Steven Ritch). Always liked this flick. Watched it On Demand (FearNet).

"Signs"

Strange Hostel of Pleasures
Chandu the Magician

Memphremagog, you should also check out Dan Curtis' Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde. Though not as great as the Fredrick March version (1932), it's the second best I've seen (The silent places third).
I actually just watched that version last week, Creepy. I must say that I quite enjoyed Jack Palance's version of Hyde greatly..
-
Is that Frankenstein the one that was originally a 2 night TV movie back when I was a kid? I've been looking for that version for years.
It might be the Dan Curtis one...Bo Swenson is the Monster..or FRANKENSTEIN: THE TRUE STORY was another two-part adaption that came out the same year. That version had David McCallum, James Mason, Leonard Whiting and Jane Seymore in it. Both are available on DVD..
-
I've never even heard of Dan Curtis' Frankenstein.
Dan Curtis did quite a few horror adaptions for TV movies that are now available on DVD:
1)The Strange Case Of Dr.Jekyll & Mr.Hyde(1968) with Jack Palance & Denholm Elliot
2)Frankenstein(1973) with Robert Foxworth & Bo Swenson
3)The Picture Of Dorian Gray(1974) with Shane Briant
4)Dracula(1974) with Jack Palance
5)Turn Of the Screw(1974) with Vanessa Redgrave
There is a great article on his horror stuff in the latest issue of RUE MORGUE magazine. Not only are the above films discussed, but also HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS, NIGHT OF DARK SHADOWS, THE NORLISS TAPES, THE NIGHT STALKER, THE NIGHT STRANGLER, DEAD OF NIGHT, TRILOGY OF TERROR and CURSE OF THE BLACK WIDOW..

Se7en--according to my kids, I didn't get it
Spooks Run Wild
-
Dr. Renault's Secret
I probably saw it as a kid, but don't have any specific memories of it. So as far as I'm concerned, this was my first viewing. It was a surprisingly tight little B-movie. Not the undiscovered "classic" that the DVD featurette makes it out to be, but very good and entertaining, with an understated and sympathetic performance by J. Carrol Naish.

2 days ago I watched Bride Of Franky
-
I picked up NEVER CRY WEREWOLF with Kevin Sorbo, but I haven't watched it yet. Also got FEAST II: SLOPPY SECONDS and OTIS, but the one I'm really looking forward to watching is MY NAME IS BRUCE. By Monday I should have watched them all. I decided to treat myself to a bunch of DVDs to make up for missing UNDERWORLD III.
-
Phantom of the Opera
-
Tower of London--not exactly horror, but close enough. I don't think I'd ever seen it before, unless on TV thirty or more years ago
-
Twilight.
-
Okay, now I have seen MY NAME IS BRUCE. As a Bruce Campbell fan, I loved it. If you cringe at every cheesey moment of every Bruce Campbell movie ever made, you too will love it, as the majority of the jokes are aimed directly at Mister Fancy-Pants. Not great cinematography, or acting, or directing, or producing, but a great genre film despite this.. nay, BECAUSE of it!
-
Over the weekend:
- UNDERWORLD: RISE OF THE LYCANS (my wife's pick, followed at home with...)
- UNDERWORLD
- UNDERWORLD: EVOLUTION
Hammer Double Feature:
- COUNT DRACULA and HIS VAMPIRE BRIDES (great title, though I think A.D. 1972 is better)
- LUST FOR A VAMPIRE (never seen it, wouldn't watch it again...Vampire Lovers was much better)
- Count Gore's Creature Feature: ATOM AGE VAMPIRE (terrible movie, great show!)
-
Underworld 3, rise of the Lycans
Mad Ghoul
-
Double header tonight: Tarantula and for the first time ever - Monolith Monsters. Who knew it was about a bunch of rocks.
-
For some reason, I like Monolith Monsters. Even as a kid. Was I disappointed there were no monsters? Maybe, but I remember thinking it was scary, with or without monsters. Sort of an American spin on a Quatermass-styled tale.
-
For some reason, I like Monolith Monsters. Even as a kid.
Yeah, it was a creature features favorite of mine, too. It's also the movie where I realized that a lot of 50s SF movies seemed to take place in the same Arizona town.

Last Man on Earth

- Horror of Dracula (the more times I see it, the less I enjoy it as much as some of Hammer's other Dracula movies)

Son Of Frankenstein........one of the best performances of Lugosi's career. What a wasted talent.

Edward D. Wood Jr.'s Night of the Ghouls. In any other hands the premsie of a phony psychic accidentially raising the dead and paying the price for it could have been interesting and scary. With Ed Wood at the helm, well.....

Last night I watched "Godzilla Vs Hedorah" with some friends. You will believe a monster can fly! ;)

Basket Case 2, What a Hoot. ;D

We almost need an Edward D. Wood, Jr. thread, I just watched Glen or Glenda (which is neither sci-fi, monster or horror, though it has a monstrous, torturous horror all its own, haha!)... I love Ed Wood's terribly wonderful/wonderfully terrible works.

The new double feature Marvel DVD, Hulk Vs.

Exactly! Brilliant in a way only Ed Wood could achieve.
Agreed. I love Ed Wood!! I just picked up this little boxset of some of his brilliance.......
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51m-qTYbdNL._SL500_AA240_.jpg)
I love the title. "The Ed Wood Collection - A Salute to Incompetence". When I saw that, I just HAD to have it LOL!!
-
THE VIRGIN SPRING (1959)... Directed by Ingmar Bergman. While not a horror movie, per se, the rape/murder scene is pretty horrific, especially for it's time. A hauntingly beautiful film. Wes Craven once (supposedly) said that this was his inspiration for THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT!
-
King Kong
-
- Web Of The Spider (great 70's Euro Horror, a new Haunted House favorite filled with gothic images, ghosts and vampires, a great Halloween movie)

Mothra Vs. Godzilla

I watched "The Night Stalker" tonight. All the talk recently about Kolchack in another thread here forced me to order the "Night Stalker/Night Strangler" double feature DVD. While I've seen the series episodes a number of times, I'd never seen the original movies that kicked it all off. I really enjoyed the movie!
George

George,
The 2nd movie, THE NIGHT STRANGLER, doesn't have the same chill factor, but it's a fun story with a ton of great guest stars. I think you'll like it as well.

I watched "The Night Strangler" this morning, and you're right, it was enjoyable. I still prefer the first film, but it was cool seeing all the cameo appearances by folks like Margaret Hamilton, John Carradine, Wally Cox, and Al Lewis, among others.

I'm waiting for mine to come. I haven't seen the movies either and I'm really looking forward to it. Is the series pretty true to the movies?? Sometimes the changes are significant. I hope not, because the series was simply classic.

"Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte" & "The Night Of The Hunter". Still spooky after all these years.

Automaton Transfusion (2006). Not worth paying for, but if you like gore-filled zombie movies, and you give allowances for low-budget indy flicks, it's watchable. But just once.

Night Of The Living Dead (original)

Truth be told we're all just "Big Kids" here, just check the posts around the site. lol. Tonight I watched "Star Trek: Nemisis" starring Patrick Steward, first time I've seen it since it was at the theater. Me and my brother have already decided to see the new "Star Trek" movie when it comes out.

Watched "Scooby-Doo" this evening. It has monsters, plus Buffy's Sarah Michelle Gellar in a mini-dress and go go boots. Also watched episodes of "Star Gate SG1".
-
I watched "The Fifth Element" tonight.
George
-
I tried to watch POULTRYGEIST: NIGHT OF THE CHICKEN DEAD. I made it just about 30 minutes before I had to turn it off. The poop jokes and topless lesbian love scenes DIDN'T rui n me off; it was the bloody-awful song & dance numbers I couldn't stomache. Troma disappointed me with this one.
-
Island of Terror
-
Diary of the Dead. i would have preferred Dairy of teh Dead. I think George has lost the edge!
-
I enjoyed DIARY. It didn't have the same pacing as most modern zombie movies, and it doesn't stand up to QUARANTINE. But it is true to the Romero zombies, IMO. I just wish it didn't have the scene at the end with the mummy and the ripped dress;THAT was not worthy of Romero.
-
Tonight I watched the Daryl Hannah version of "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman". I'm glad I only paid $2.50 for the DVD at Big Lots ;)
George
-
about 2/3 of She-Beast (bad quality DVD and boredom did me in--even with Ms. Steele)
-
- Vampryos Lesbos (Jess Franco film, Not very good. Watched most of it in FF. I am a fan of some of his other work, including: "Count Dracula" - with Christopher Lee and "Dracula, Prisoner of Frankenstein")
-
The 13th Warrior
-
Night Of The Scarecrow
-
This morning watched MOTHRA
And then GODZILLA, MOTHRA, KING GHIDORAH: GIANT MONSTERS ALL OUT ATTACK (also starring MOTHRA)
-
IGOR. Very cute, reminded me somewhat of NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
-
Gamera, Guardian of the Universe
-
Abbot & Costello meet Frankenstein!
-
Night Warning
-
CAPTAIN KANGAROO.........No seriously, what I accually watched was "Captain Kronos, Vampite Hunter". Even after all the times I've watched this, the part where they make fun of the hunchback still ticks me off.
-
I watched "Weird Science" earlier this evening. Not the greatest movie, but it does have colorized footage from "Frankenstein" :)
George
-
Bugs
-
Bride of Frankenstein

The Wolf Man

-
House of Dracula
-
House of Death. Neither good nor bad enough to be interesting. Extremely formulaic, typical 80s unimaginative drivel.
-
Watched "The Spook Speaks" and "The General", both staring Buster Keaton. The first one is a creepy comedy-mystery taking place in a haunted Magician's house. The second is my favorite Buster Keaton movie.

Believe it or not I still find Buster to be underrated by the general public, and Harold Lloyd even more so.

Them!
-
This morning watched "Hilarious House of Frightenstein" with Horror Host Billy Van and Vincent Price.
Bogey, I totally agree. Buster Keaton is the KING of comedy, and Harold Lloyd equally so.
-
King Kong VS Godzilla!
-
- Monster From a Prehistoric Planet
-
Godzilla 2000
-
Saturday I watched Dracula ('31) and Kurosawa's Ran.
Also, while I was running some errands, I listened to the OTR Mindwebs episode "Born of Man and Woman" -- the narrator sounded like Torgo from Manos! I'd also put The Hall of Fantasy's "The Crawling Thing" on the same CD. Ah...OTR horror...so fine, so fine.

Clara my seven year old little femme-monster and I watched Poltergeist yesterday. We watch Monster movies and Sci-Fi channel all the time but this was her first genuinely SCARY movie - it was so cool she did the blanket over the head thing, so I hugged her, reminded her it's all fake and asked if I should change it - she ignored me. Now the new line we say to each other is "I am addressin' the living."

Man Packy, that's fantastic LOL!! It's just the best thing to share with the kids. We should do one of those old fashioned arranged marriages between your Clara and my 8 year old Jordan when they're of age. What grandchildren they would give us!!

Wal-Mart is currently changing their DVD selection. My local store has a large endcap of Disney films, and buried in there are copies of "Something Wicked This Way Comes" and "The Black Hole". I picked up both this morning and watched them this evening. I hadn't seen "Something" in at least twenty years, and I'd never seen TBH before, so it was worth picking up the discs.

I had a movie night with some friends last night, and we watched "The Night Stalker" and a couple of episodes of the series "Dinosaurs!". When I got home I watched "Flash Gordon" and "Ladyhawke", two of my favorite 80's fantasy/adventure movies.

REPO THE GENETIC OPERA! Hilarious and a lot of fun.

Last night I watched the original "The Blob" starring Steve McQueen.
After many years of watching a faded out VHS version, I snagged a copy of The Criterion Collection DVD of "The Blob". The colors and sound were clear and the special features were a treat. (The French poster is a real hoot!) Its quite an upgrade for those who care to pay the ridiculously high prices Criterion charges.
-
funny avatar, f. ironic, too, because that's the last one i saw, 'son of frankenstein.' gotta love basil rathbone... what a ham.

You should be banned for 3 days for watching that movie as a member of the UMA. And an additional week for admitting it in print. ;)

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL ('51) Better than ever!
FRIDAY THE 13TH 1 & 2 Hadn't watched these two in years, and they were actually pretty cool. My wife & daughter watched them both with me and enjoyed them also. For myself, it reinforced my love for the older films... and reminded me why I don't enjoy most of the new, in your face, way over the top, splatterfests, though there are a few exceptions.
-
Nurse Sherri (which sucked, but on the same disc was Five Bloody Graves, whih was actually pretty good for a no-budget western--and had a nice turn by John Carradine)
-
Dead Men Walk(1943)
The Mad Doctor(1941)
-
The Thing (Carpenter)
-
Saw the new "Friday the 13th" with the wife for our Valentine date out. Then when we got home I watched "Godzilla vs Destoroyah", to remove the bad taste of the first movie. Did NOT like this remake.
-
V FOR VENDETTA
-
The Thing (Carpenter)
One of the few remakes that holds up IMO.
-
Manos The Hand of Fate (MST3K Style) The only way anyone could watch it. ;D
-
Creature with the Atom Brain
-
- Frankenstein
- Son of Frankenstein
-
One of the few remakes that holds up IMO.
Agreed.

Splinter
This was on the Sci-Fi channel last night. Not bad...not bad at all. Usually Sci-Fi's original movies always disappoint me, but this one had a good plot, good actors, and was generally creepy. We enjoyed it.
-
- The Night Stalker
- The Night Strangler
First time I have seen these two, enjoyed both of them, although "Stalker" was better. Great 70's TV Horror.
-
Last night I watched "Gods and Monsters" for the first time. Truly a great film! This morning I finally broke open my Val Lewton boxed set and watched "Isle of the Dead" and "Bedlam".

Yesterday watched "Godzilla vs King Ghidorah" and "Horror of Dracula".

Yesterday I watched Son of Kong and on Saturday I watched Plan 9 from Outer Space.
The Plan 9 DVD is from '94 and has bonus features that include a clip of Lugosi leaving the hospital after his addiction treatment. I watched the clip before the movie and it made for a wistful experience. To see him talking with confidence to the reporter (who kept interrupting him >:() and then see him posing in those few brief Plan 9 scenes in which he appears is sad.
There's one part in the interview where he says something to the effect that he married a woman 30 years younger and she didn't want to be saddled with an old man.
-
I watched 'Splinter' on Sci-Fi last night, too-
Very Cool!
Can't wait 'till it comes out on DVD so I can see it uncut & commercial free~

Yesterday I watched "The 7th Victim" and the documentary about Val Lewton's career, "Shadows in the Dark". This morning I watched "The Leopard Man".

"Love Butcher" . Should have been "Cinema Butcher".
-
I just watched "Killers From Space" - Peter Graves meets ping pong ball eyeball aliens. With mittens. And extreme close-ups of a variety of garden creatures to make them seem giant. They shouldn't have let me live.

The Witch (La Strega in amore)--Lousy DVD quality, but a really good 60s Italian flick

I picked this up a few months ago. I agree, it's a real suck fest ;) If you look carefully at the atomic bomb blast at the end, you can see that it's just stock footage of ships being blown up. This presents a problem when the blast is supposedly happening in the desert....

Just rewatched NIGHTWATCH and DAYWATCH. Good stuff, in a Underworld-meets-The-Matrix-with-a-dash-of-Harry-Potter kind of way.

I never notice the plot,writing,score,or special effects in a Barbara Steele movie anyway. Know what I mean??
Just finished "Eyeball". As to its plot,writing,score,and special effects.......let me just say this. It could have used some Barbara Steele .
-
I watched "The Ghost Ship" this morning.
George
-
I know exactly what you mean Scatter...but in this one, she was barely on screen! Maybe it was the cut I was watching, but "She Beast" definetely needed more Barbara Steele!!!
-
- Blacula
Really enjoyed this movie. I remember seeing a picture of William Marshall in my Movie Monsters book (Alan Ormsby) and thinking "man, thats a creepy looking vampire!". A 70's cool, fun vibe through out although a bit dated at times.
Anyway, got the next Blacula movie in my Netflix queue and this one has Pam Grier in it! I think I'm already going to enjoy it!

I watched "The Wiz" this morning. Last night I watched "The Devil and Daniel Webster" on TCM.

George
-
Eden Lake
The Invasion
Scorpion King 2

Watched Toho Production's HALF HUMAN, the '58 Americanized version. Too bad the original (1955) will probably never be re-released. Second feature was THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN ('57) with Peter Cushing & Forrest Tucker. Great movie!
-
Fright Night.
-
Last night I watched UNHOLY and tonight I saw WITCH HOUSE: BLOOD COVEN. UNHOLY could have been watchable if it was an hour shorter, or someone put some material in to kick the pace up a few notches. WITCH HOUSE is just a waste of time, and had the production quality of a made-for-Disney Channel horror flick in the 80s. No, I think TOWER OF TERROR was better.

Eden Lake

I watched "Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius" on Friday.

-
Over the last 24 hours I've watched:
"Addams Family Values"
"The Incredible Mr. Limpet"
and the 1982 TV version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" with Anthony Hopkins. My local Wal-Mart just got it in today and for $9.96 it was a must-buy. I hadn't seen this version since it originally aired when I was in high school.

The Descent. Naturally I watched this in the basement, in my monster room, in the dark, with headphones. This helped me relate to the action. Call me a big wuss, but halfway through I had to turn a little light on and by the end I was ready to go upstairs. And my house is quiet. A little too quiet. I know opinions differ on movies, but I really enjoyed this one. I want to say more but spoilers you know.

Dear Big Wuss,
THE DESCENT definitely had some creepy moments and I too enjoyed it. Still, the light thing... Maybe Clara can lend you one of her dolls for you to aqueeze next time you get scared. ;)

Maybe Clara can lend you one of her dolls for you to aqueeze next time you get scared. Wink
Hah good one Rob! Afraid she needs them all. Ever since we watched Poltergeist she wakes up every 2 AM and calls one of us to come carry her into our bedroom. I'm trying to teach her to call our dog if she gets scared. And Darcy is none too happy about it either since I sleep very deeply. Nice healthy environment for a little girl! Nothing a little I-Carli couldn't fix.

Last night I went to see "Watchmen".
A report when you get a chance, George.
-
I saw Watchmen yesterday. I had read the book a few times over the years and am very familiar with the story. This helped me enjoy the heck out the movie. It really knocked me out. VERY well done on many levels. I heard there were some bad reviews - i would like to know - based on what? It's a complex story with a lot of flashbacks and I guess if you got lost and couldn't connect the dots you might not like it. I loved all the casting and never once thought it was getting too long or dragging. I love Rorshach. He doesn't sound like Clint Eastwood. Clint Eastwood sounds like HIM. MINOR SPOILER AHEAD: (like what he tells the inmates after one of them tries something "You think I'm locked up in here with you...".
I hardly ever see movies twice. I will definitely see this more than once And soon!
-
Thank you, Packy.
-
It's definitely worth going to see. I had very recently reread the trade paperback, so it was easier to spot scenes that were lifted directly from the comic and to catch some of the inside nods. Be warned that the violence is *very* violent and occasionally hard to watch, but it's still a great movie.
George
-
I saw WATCHMEN on Sunday and also really liked it. I hadn't read the graphic novel in many yaers, so it was it was nice to revisit the Watchmen universe again. I was very happy with the casting, as they used actors that could pull off the characters rather than just filling the film with stars for the sake of using big names. Oh sure you'll recognize some faces, but they don't interfere with the movie. An example of bad casting for me was Jack Nicholson in BATMAN. I never saw the Joker, just Nicholson. Anyway, in WATCHMEN, you'll recognize Jackie Earle Haley from his youthful performances in BREAKING AWAY and the BAD NEWS BEARS movies. Here he takes on the grim, psychotic Rorschach and boy does he come across as a great character.
It's definitely NOT a film for kids AT ALL! It's rated R for strong graphic violence, sexuality, nudity and language. The character of Dr. Manhattan spends much of the movie completely naked. In fact, let's just say we all know that he is not Jewish. 'Nuff said. I can't say if everyone will like this film, but I did.

The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945)
-
Thanks for the reports on The Watchmen. I remember getting the comics when they first came out (I used to collect and help out at a store each Saturday morning). I recall there being a lot of hype behind it even then. If memory serves I remember enjoying it until the end where I thought it kind of fell apart a bit for me. Alan Moore was REALLY hot then with his run of Swamp Thing and anything he touched was considered gold.
-
The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945)
Easily in my top ten five novels of all time. Never have seen the movie.
-
Day of the Dead (2008) - Not bad as far as direct-to-dvd zombie movies go. Nothing to do with the original Romero series or the remake of DAWN. Plenty of stupid mistakes to laugh at, but also relatively believable characters.

I believe I am in the minority here, but I did not care for this one. I thought Batman Begins was a better thought out story and the supporting actors did a much better job in making their roles believable. (No need to discuss Christian Bale's acting here, because he has yet to do this, IMO). I understand why many thought Ledger was great in his role, and I do believe Hollywood lost a great actor with his passing, but I found him just above average as The Joker. Not a popular opinion, but just the way I saw it. I still find the Animated Series still the best Batman to be put on a screen, especially story wise.

You may be in the minority, but you're not alone. Like a lot of "big" movies, I feel it just gets crushed under its own weight--a lot of "stuff" but no momentum in the story. The part that engaged me the most was the subplot with the ferries--and it didn't really involve any of the main characters. Walking out, I thought "I know I watched Batman go to Hong Kong two hours ago, but damned if I can remember why."

Never seen the animated series, but as a lifelong Batman fan, I'm interested. I also enjoyed Batman Begins, but I think The Dark Knight took it over the top.
To me, The Dark Knight was grim, fast moving, great sub plots and had a defining portrayal of Batman's greatest villian. I thought Nicholson did a fantastic job as the Joker, but Ledger took the cartoon aspect out of it and matched it to the darkness of the movie. In another 20+ years, someone else will come along and redefine our favorites. Its what keeps them fresh.

I like the animated series, but have never been satisfied with any TV or movie Joker. The one in the comics was twisted, and the other media fall short of his evil SICK nature.

An aside:
A few years ago, after landing a new position at work, I was issued a Mac Powerbook.
On the way home that same day I got caught in a BAD traffic jam. It was like a parking lot. I happened to be stuck by a Best Buy store. So I pulled in, went into the store, and bought a copy of IMAMFOS (it had just been released on DVD). I sat in my car and watched the entire movie on the Mac while I waited for the traffic to clear up...

The Creature Walks Among Us
Confession time: I consider myself a BIG fan of The Creature....the first two movies, anyway. I saw CTWAU one time, and one time only, when i was about ten or eleven years old (about 33 years ago! :o )....i thought it was...ok, but it kind of bugged me the way he killed himself at the end. I didnt think that movie as a whole was a fitting closure to the trilogy, so i guess i sub-conciously decided to just ignore it. Even after buying The Legacy Collection a few years back, i've watched the first two movies ad nauseum, but never bothered with the finale.
Until today.
I have to say, it wasnt as bad as i've been telling myself all these decades. I actually really enjoyed the debate between Dr. Barton & Dr. Morgan, concerning mankind's destiny, and the sub-plot between Barton & Marcia was very good (and completely went over my head as a kid...i thought Barton was just being a dick, lol)....
All in all, it definitely held my interest, and i'll probably add it to my annual "Creature Marathon"...
Sidenote: It looked like Marcia and Dr. Morgan hooked up at the end. Agreed?

What a coincidence. I also watched this yesterday for the first time in probably 20 years. Not as good as the first two. The ending bugged me too. It did hold my interest enough that I watched the whole thing even tho the wife was trying to get me to do yard work. :)
Don't think I'd want to watch it again anytime soon but it was better than I thought it would be. One thing that has me stymied is why the creature poured gasoline on himself. It certainly looked intentional to me.

i think he picked up the container to hurl at the scientists, and the gas sort of spilled on him....
Interesting thing; Dr. Morgan theorized that the Creature's gills may eventually grow back. I always figured the Creature DID have some sort of regeneration ability, as he seemed to survive being shot multiple times in the first two films....

Slightly off topic, but the Goldfinger Blu-ray.
Certainly "psychotronic" anyway. I've seen the film many times (including several first-run viewings) and I'd never noticed that Auric G. is wearing golden shoes as he approaches his "pigeon" in the opening scene in Miami. Great stuff.

Last night I watched "The Mist". I already knew about the shock ending, and I'd been putting off watching the DVD until I was in the right mood for it. Still a depressing ending though. Tonight I watched "It's Alive". It had been many years since the last time I'd seen it. It still has some creepy moments, but I was more entertained by the dreadful 70's fashions and home decor ;)

I hated the ham-fisted ending to The Mist film. I much preferred the "Birds-like" ending of the original (and in the ZBS radio play).
Spooky and subtle. The combo of putting the protagonist into such an undeserved situation, and having the army show up was way too cheesy IMHO. The original conclusion had the best of Lovecraft and Hitchcock sewn together into a tapestry of mystery where anything could happen next and the imagination runs wild. Instead, we get one man's tragedy and a lame vindication of the military elements who supposedly caused the initial "problem". It was like an anticlimactic punch line to a long and interesting joke.

The Howling

I hated the ham-fisted ending to The Mist film. I much preferred the "Birds-like" ending of the original (and in the ZBS radio play).
Spooky and subtle. The combo of putting the protagonist into such an undeserved situation, and having the army show up was way too cheesy IMHO. The original conclusion had the best of Lovecraft and Hitchcock sewn together into a tapestry of mystery where anything could happen next and the imagination runs wild. Instead, we get one man's tragedy and a lame vindication of the military elements who supposedly caused the initial "problem". It was like an anticlimactic punch line to a long and interesting joke.
agreed 100%

Just watched a double feature of Mystery At The Wax Museum and The Wax Museum. Enjoyable time. Peace.

Last night ( Saturday ) I watched The Wolfman, and Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman. Tonight I watched Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer, and now I am watching John Carpenters The Fog as I do this. By the way I hate the remake of The Fog!

Metropolis

Watched "Them" - not the one with the ants but a French sort-of horror film. The movie The Strangers borrowed alot of the elements of Them. Lots of suspense, a twisted ending and apparently based on a true story. Tonight, Fringe.
-
Last one was Dance of the Dead. A very good tribute to the old Return of the Living Dead series.
Just enough humor and gore for me.

Terrified!
-
War of the Worlds (1953)
Something I noticed about this particular film were some very small "moments" that have stuck with me since I first saw WOTW way back when as a young lad. Particularly during the evacuation of Los Angeles sequence there was the shot of a car in a line of traffic leaving the city, but it had a flat tire and just kept going. There's the moment where a kid and his dog are gobbling up the melting remnants of an overturned ice cream ventor's bike. And that shot where the little girl's ball comes bouncing down the hospital steps and the young boy catches it. These little moments really add to the humanity of this film. Has anyone else noticed small touches like this?
-
Just watched, The Creature Walks Among Us.
-
Hi Jim.
re: WOTW.
That's always been a favorite of mine. Those touches you mentioned really did flesh out the movie (although a bit too much of that and the corn starts flying). I still have the laser disc with an isolated audio effects track; pretty interesting extra.
Even though I'm generally a purist, if the title ever makes it to hi-def I wouldn't mind the removal of those wires holding up Wah Chang's fabulous ship designs. The better the resolution, the more distracting those are.
I think I'll pop that one in the PS3 and have another go at it. It's been a while...

I always do my best to ignore the wires, but you're right, they are distracting. By the way it was Albert Nozaki who did the War Machines, he even gives his daughter some credit for the design in the Special Features.
Another "moment" that comes to mind, that frying pan full of eggs and bacon at the farm house, one of the best meals ever featured in a science fiction film.

Dan Curtis marathon. Frankenstein , Night Stalker , Night Strangler. Hadn't seen the Frankie in over 30 years. Pretty cool but I like the Uni's better. Hadn't seen either of the Kolchak movies in probably 5 years at least. Really enjoyed these. Forgot how great these were with suspense , action , comedy and of course how censoring and corrupt the "powers that be" were.

What was cool about this movie was that I would see certain parts/fragments and a slight nostalgia swept over me. I had seen this movie decades ago! But as a kid didn't know its name, just remembered seeing things like the old trapper, the shadowy Bigfoot creature, especially coming over the fence and being scared silly.
Very cool to see this again as an adult.

Early this morning I watched "C.H.U.D." for the first time in many years. It wasn't quite as good as I remembered it being ;) Yesterday I watched a couple of James Cagney gangster films I've been meaning to get to for awhile. I only mention them because one of them, "The Public Enemy", featured small roles for two Universal veterans, Mae "Frankenstein" Clark and Snitz "Phantom of the Opera" Edwards. Mae's the unfortunate victim of a grapefruit assault in this one.

Beast Of Yucca Flats (should be changed to YUCK-a Flats).

yeah, that was a bad movie, not even worth being called a B-movie.
I watched an odd classic " Phantasm"

Last night I went out to see "Land of the Lost". While I enjoyed the special effects (especially the Sleestak!), I was a little underwhelmed by the movie overall. Worth a look, but try to catch it at matinee prices.

"Curse Of The Undead" (1959)
- Micheal Pate
Plot Synopsis: IMDB
The cinema's first vampire Western! Young women in a small Western town are dying one by one of an unknown malady involving massive blood loss. The Carter family's ranch is being terrorized by ruthless land baron Buffer. And a mysterious black-clad gunfighter with an aversion to sunlight has just arrived in town
Phantom's Review: I've always been a fan of both westerns and horror movies, (especially the classic black and white movies)and on those rare occasions that someone tries to combine the two always interests me.
While this is basically a standard "B" movie. It has some very nice performances from the actors and it maintains, both, a great horror atmosphere (with some cool spooky music)and some classic western action.
If you don't take it to seriously, this is a fun movie.

Land of the Lost was terrible. I mean I hate to pass judgement but...
Been watching the Star Trek films on blu. I had reservations about buying the set, but it was on sale for half price, so...
Some of the make up on the actors is unintentionally cadaverous, even the relatively young Chekov in ST 2.
Shatner's bad rug and the choppy matte work become a bit distracting, but it's interesting to see the films again.

Watched ''Dracula AD 1972'' late last night. Starred Lee and Cushing, but they weren't in it nearly enough! Found myself praying out loud that Drac would appear to get rid of the ''exciting young cast members'' whose crappy acting i had to endure for the better part of the movie. They all die eventually , but not worth the wait. Caroline Munro was also in it...INCREDIBLY HOT, but SHE'S the first to be killed off...go figure. Guess this was the final Lee Dracula movie of the franchise? Almost seems as if Hammer was going out of it's way to kill it off! Oh well, at least i can now say i saw it and Cushing and Lee were terrific together, as always.

The Satanic Rites of Dracula followed AD '72 as Hammer's last Dracula entry. I enjoy Dracula AD 1972 very much, but it could've been better as you more or less said.

That was a great movie!!

That was a great movie!!
Agreed; infinitely better than Spider-Man 3! I didn't tell my kids it was directed by Raimi, so they were expecting a straight horror flick with either little or badly-done humor. My son about lost it during the seance scene!

Phantom Of the Opera(1962)
Satanico Pandemonium(1973)
-
That was a great movie!!
REALLY. One of the main guys that works for me in shipping is 25. He said they walked because it was "boring,lame and gay" Then again when I mentioned a classic box set I sold and Boris Karloff was mentioned he cocked his head and said "WHO!" :o >:(
To which I replied "you know ,Frankenstein" Him " OH ya shoulda said so" My Grandpa talked about that" Me "Well Steve,he did ALOOOT more than that AND there were 4 actors that played the classic version and blah blah blah" I lost him after 2 minutes.
Stupid generation gap. DOH!

The premerie of Count Gore's career documentary at the AFI Silver Theater in MD. Special appearances by Count Gore, Karlos Borloff (Monster Madhouse), Jebediah Buzzard( Fright Time Funhouse), Dr. Sarcofigary (The Spooky Movie) and the film maker CW Prather. This film will also show at the San Diego Comic Con next month. A great documentary covering Dick Dysezel's career on WDCA Channel 20 in DC including his stints as children's hosts Bozo the Clown and Captain 20. But it was his Count Gore de Vol that is the main draw of course. A great night, got some pics, signatures and a couple of Monster Madhouse dvds from Borloff himself.

"The Robot vs The Aztec Mummy" (1957)
Plot: (what there is of it) Wikipedia

Krupp builds a robot to defeat the mummy. Krupp's former colleague Dr. Eduardo Almada (Ramon Gay) and associates work to stop the mad scientist.
Phantoms Review: One of the classics of crap. Hysterically funny and totally pointless. I Loved it.

Underworld Rise of the Lycans. It was good but... I felt it was more of a big action movie with werewolves and not a monster movie. My wife loved it since this is primarily the type of stuff she reads.
I thought it was kinda retarded the first 10 or 15 minutes. Then I had to go back to the days when I read alot of D&D books , Ravenloft and Werewolf the Apocalypse. Once I got in that mind frame I rather enjoyed it.

Picked up Coraline on blu-ray. I like when the "other mother" starts to get skinny and bad. Selick did a good job interpreting Gaiman's story, but his addition of an unnecessary character was a little annoying.
-
I saw a little bit of Coraline, but I'm waiting till I can get it on 3D BluRay to watch the whole thing.

This evening I watched Dracula's Daughter then I watched Son of Dracula. Dracula's daughter is much scarier than his son who SPOILER ends up actually being named Dracula. The title must refer to when he dies - from The "sun" of Dracula....ooookaay.....I found parts of this hard to watch.
I really liked Daughter very much, a fine old movie. Especially Queen Zombo or whatever her name was. It was great to finally get a chance to watch some old Universal monster movies.

Oh, it's just horrid. But I sat through it so no one else would have to. The video equivalent of falling on a grenade. Except the movie hurt more.

Surely it cant be worse than "Kingdom of the Vampires" which was shot on a video camera

They used a CAMERA?? Then, it was better than Mama Dracula, which used images drawn on a flip pad..

- Vampyr (1932)
A gothic style vampire movie. Slow in parts, but I really enjoyed the "legend" of the vampire. Very old school, such as using an iron stake (never heard of that) to "pin the soul to the ground" so it can rest and attacking those nearest and dearest to them.
-
Legend of the Eight Samurai (1983) Good movie, never heard of it before. Lots of martial arts & sword play w/witchcraft, sorcery & demons.

Van Helsing-it was on FX tonight

"The Son Of Dr. Jekyll" (1957)
Plot: IMDB
The son of the notorious Dr. Henry Jekyll is determined to prove that his father's reputation has been unjustly deserved. He sets out to develop his father's formula in order to prove that he was a brilliant scientist rather than a murderous monster.
Phantom's Review: Well made, but ultimately dull sequel to the horror classic. The acting, sets and costumes are fine but the film has no real scare scenes and moves very slowly. A disappointment.

It would be the 76 version of King Kong. I like it in a goofy sort of way, but it always leaves me wanting to see the original.

Agreed.........my affection for the 76 incarnation is purely nostalgic, having seen it first-run at the movies. Viewing it now, the cheesiness puts Wisconsin to shame, but it always conjures up enough good memories to compensate. Yet, like you, it always leaves me wanting to pop in the original. Perhaps to cleanse the palate?? LOL!

Evil Dead 2. Last night.
mmmm scaryyyyy
I saw that one again recently. I think it's under-appreciated because the story is seen as a remake of the 1st, and AOD is so over-the-top. But I agree that it has some great horror moments, laced heavily with loads of cheese.
-
Let the Right One In.
Saw it at Best Buy for $20. Decided to pass and went to Block Buster to rent.
Watched with the wife who is a BIG fan of modern vampire stuff.
It is definitely different from what I'm used to. The characters were well done. I don't think they could have picked a better girl to play Elle. Decent storyline. It did take almost half the movie to really get into it. Since I'm sure there are quite a few that haven't seen it I'll just say the scene with the cats was cool and had me laughing. And revenge is sweet.
The wife gave it a 5 out of 10. I'd give it a 7. One that every vampire/horror fan should see at least once. I still like 30 Days MUCH better tho.

All the Kind Strangers. 1974 TV movie starring Stacey Keach Samantha Eggar Robby Benson John Savage.
Backwoods orphans kidnap and imprison kind strangers to replace their long dead parents. If they don't work out they "disappear" and are replaced with another hopeful.
If you like the 70s TV movies this is a must watch. AAH the good ole days.

Night Fright 1967
John Agar stars as a local sheriff. A space experiment on animals goes bad when the ship crashes and unleashes a creature that is a cross between an ape/sasquatch with 3 toed feet and a Klingon looking head. Agar has to save the day as the monster runs around the woods killing 30 Y.O teenagers. ;)
Tolerable for a bad film but the print was not that good and lighting/especially the night scenes sucked.
-
I'm on a roll here thanks to the hot humid weather I despise so much.
Terror at Red Wolf Inn. 1972
College girls receive a free stay at an old inn run by an elderly couple and their strange grandson.
The avg stay is a couple weeks. On the day before each girl is to leave they have a big party with all kinds of food and drink,to fatten them up.. This has the look and feel of a 70s TV movie except for the cannibalism slant.
Worth a view.
-
- The Mummy's Ghost
- Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman
-
Warriors of the Wasteland AKA The New Barbarians. Italian Mad Max wannabe stars Fred Williamson and features Giovanni Frezna (The kid from House By The Cemetery).
Lots of explosions violence and cheesy looking vehicles as post apocalyptic clans fight each other for survival. Worth a view.
-
The Unborn.........it shoulda stayed unborn.
-
When people post here how about more than a 5 or 10 second tappity tap. Movie/year.

Giant mutated beetles attack city and cocoon everybody, slacker wakes up frees some people.
They band together to escape the beetles, most get killed, and then they have a "final" confrontation with the beetles.
Oh yeh, there are Hybrid Beetles too, Torso of people and spider looking legs sprout from their bodies.
Not bad of a movie, check it out if ya like Bug Gore. ;D
-
'A Haunting in Connecticut'
Better than expected ghost story. Based loosely on true events. I enjoyed it.
"Friday The 13th" (2009)
Exactly as expected. I got a few laughs out of it, but nothing more.
"The Fog" (1980)
One of my favorite John Carpenter films.
"The Fog" (2005)
I don't know why everyone hated this remake. It's not that bad. Not as good as the original, but as far as remakes go, it was all right

- Vampire In Brooklyn
Angela Bassett makes my top 5 sexiest female vampires. Pretty good movie.

Hey CF, it's more of a horror comedy with a nod to the Blacula films updated for the 90's. It was also my first time seeing it as well. Overall, it works.
And yes, Angela Bassett is FINE! (Where are the movie roles for her??? She's a great actress as well)
-
Eddie Murphy as a Vampire is almost as bad as PeeWee Herman as a Vampire.
They are both a pain in the neck ;D

No way that analogy works Doc. Murphy continued the great comic tradition of Richard Pryor in the mid 80's with his stand up and some classic comedies (Beverly Hills Cop, Trading Places). Herman was a kid's comedy that didn't pioneer as deeply in that genre as Murphy did in his.
Overall, I too was surprised that Murphy carried off the ceturies old Caribbean vampire so well. Also, being directed by Wes Craven, there are plenty of nods to our beloved monsters.

Children of the Full Moon (Hammer House of Horror- it's a werewolf story.)

I dont consider a bunch of foul-mouth language comedy, might as well say Andrew"Dice"Clay continued in the tradition of Pryor.
As for the movies, Eddie's movies dont compare to Pryor's movies, Pryor was alot more funnier.
I like comedies, but not Eddie or Richard, more like Grant,Gable, A&C, Laurel & Hardy,Hope,etc.

That's cool about different flavors of comedy, and I agree that Pryor was the man. But again, you can't put Dice Clay in the same areana as Pryor and Murphy. Dice used profanity as his only comedic venue which IMO was zero. Never was a fan of him.
What Pryor did was dig deep in his life for a joke, make the audience feel uncomfortable with it and eventually bring to light some truth through pain, loss or just life. Dice Clay made nursey rhymes with profanity. Lame.
Always good debating with my friend Doc!

Shaun of the Dead
This is truly a great movie. I think 20 years from now we will have this movie ranked with A&C Meet Frankenstein and Young Frankenstein for it's solidly brilliant parody.
I watched Attack of the 50 Foot Woman last night.

THE HAUNTING (1963)
-
Shaun of the Dead-comedy central, yesterday.
I've attempted to watch this one several times on cable. Didn't matter where the movie was at when I caught it I only lasted maybe 20 mins. I know a lot of people really like this one but for me it was just dumb and boring.
-
Werewolf Woman. Mid 70s Italian total Euro trash. A woman who was raped and seriously traumatized at age 13 moves to the country with her father. She learns of a distant relative(who happens to look exactly like her) that was burned to death for being a werewolf. Soon she starts having delusions and psychotic episodes of lycanthropy tho she never really changes. The body count starts up and grows. Mild gore/full frontals/and a rape scene make this a very adults only film. My score a 4 out of 10.
-
The House That Dripped Blood (loved it!!)
Shadow Of The Vampire (loved it!!)
Pretty good horror weekend so far!!
-
Panic/AKA Bakterion , 1976. Another looow budget Italian film. A British research scientist is involved in a nasty lab accident then disappears. He turns up as a contaminated mutant and goes around killing people at random and drinking their blood. Bad acting,bad script , bad plodding movie overall. Don't even bother with this one.
-
The last few genre films I watched were
PERVERSION STORY
THE BLACK CAT
DRACULA'S DAUGHTER
THE LEGEND OF BLOOD CASTLE
THE MANSION OF MADNESS
SPIDER BABY
-
THE BLACK CAT
Which one, Raymond?
-
At my house, tonight's movie was The Deadly Mantis... on television, hosted by Chicago's horror host Svengoolie. The movie was packed with Svensurround (funny soundbite clips). This was a summer repeat, but I was more than happy to sit and watch it again; aside from just liking the movie (what is not to love about big bug movies?), I think this version that Sven put together is absolutely one of his best shows.
(Monster Bob was going to watch tonight too, so... we will see if he weighs in with his opinion on the Svensurround.)
-
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Night of the Living Dead
Young Frankenstein
Hercules in the Haunted World
Baron Blood

The Lugosi/Karloff one.

Highly recommended!

My wife has been out of town the past week, so I planned a mini monster movie festival over the weekend:
- Svengoolie's 30th Anniversary Show Attack of the Puppet People (great show, OK 50's Sci Fi movie)
- Dracula (1931)
- The Bride of Frankenstein
- Monster Madhouse Live 3rd Anniversary Show (live via the web, about an hour. Absolute craziness)
- Twins of Evil (one of my favorite Hammer Vampire movies)
- Vampire Circus (as we speak)
A great weekend of movies and she'll be home by noontime.
-
The Lugosi/Karloff one.
But of course...
What a visual feast that movie is.

- Vampire Circus (as we speak)
Another wonderful movie that is a feast for the eyes! That title came up in discussion the other day-- a friend and I were talking about David Prowse, his career, and his health concerns of late.

Elizabeth, very cool you shaking Sven's hand.
Vampire Circus is definitely a strange movie, but visually effective and another of my Hammer favorites. David Prowse was evil incarnate in that film. Sad to hear about his health concerns now. I wish him well.
-
Never seen Vampire Circus or Twins of Evil. Maybe they'll get a proper R1 DVD release someday.
-
They would make a great Midnite Movies Double Feature set, much like The Vampire Lovers/Countess Dracula.
-
Yellow Submarine: Blue Meanies, Sea of Monsters, & oh yeah, The Beatles. One of the most innovative animated films ever.
IMO, Vampire Circus is a very unique Hammer entry, a personal favorite. Twins of Evil isn't too shabby either.
-
Raymond, we need to make sure you get to see Vampire Circus. I think you would enjoy it.
-
The Lugosi/Karloff one.
As if there is another..........frankly Elizabeth, having become acquainted with your discerning taste in horror film, I'm shocked at the suggestion that you would acknowledge any other version. Just shocked I tell you.
-
I know... I know... *hanging head*
I should have known better, when Raymond did not specific the year, that he simply meant THE Black Cat.
But our generation is not the first to remake movies and reuse titles. (We do rather overdo it, though.)
Actually, a couple people have recommended the Masters of Horror 'Black Cat' ... but I have yet to see it.
-
Last night we watched two episodes of (new) Dr. Who on DVD. From the fourth series, The Fires of Pompeii and Planet of the Ood.
The last time the Ood popped up, in a previous season, I was kind of 'meh' about them, but now I really like Ood.

"The Canterville Ghost" (1944)
-Charles Laughton, Robert Young
Plot: IMDB
In the 1600s, cowardly Sir Simon of Canterville flees a duel and seeks solace in the family castle. His ashamed father seals him in the room where he is hiding and dooms him to life as a ghost until one of his descendants performs a brave deed. Simon believes he may be saved when he meets Cuffy Williams, an American kinsman stationed with a troop of soldiers at the castle in 1943. Will this blood relative save the family honor, or will his blood be as yellow as the rest of the Cantervilles?
Phantom's Review: Very entertaining and silly Haunted Castle story. Well acted with a great cast. As they used to say...fun for the whole family.

Untraceable
Serial Killer kidnaps guys, and uses many different methods of killing them.
He post them on the web, and when people log on to watch, the more hits the site gets activates the death of the victim.
Really Graphic violence, not for the feint of heart or squeamish.
One guy is in a box full of water, with hoses connected to it, that will release sulphuric acid, when people log on to watch.
His skin melts off, pretty nasty.
If you love nasty, Gorey violence, then rent this.

The last few days I've watched:
Amazon Women on the Moon (picked it up at Walgreens for $5.99)
The Frighteners
Curse of Frankenstein
I hate to admit, I've never been a huge fan of the Hammer Frankenstein series. I've always preferred their Dracula movies and some of the stand-alone films like "The Gorgon" and "Curse of the Werewolf". I think today was the first time I actually watched "Curse of Frankenstein" from start to finish. It was better than I remembered it being, but I still prefer Dracula ;)

The Devil Bat. Forgot what a cheesy movie this was.
-
Devil's Den
-
"What's The Matter With Helen?" 1971
-
The Lodger" (1944)
-Merle Oberon, George Sanders, Laird Cregar
London 1880's: An elderly couple rents some rooms to a doctor but after several weeks begins to suspect their tenant may be Jack The Ripper.
Phantom's Review: A great movie. Atmospheric, creepy and beautifully photographed. (black and white is so great with these kind of thrillers)
The cast is perfect, but like most Hollywood films about the Ripper it's about 99% fiction and damn little fact.
But overall it's a good creepy film.

Bela in The Human Monster. This is a strange dark movie. I had a bit of a time with the British accents but really enjoyed this one. The title is so true. I give it a 7 out of 10.
Bela in The Ape Man. What was it back then with gorillas in movies? Not a GREAT one but fun none the less. I'll give this one a 5.5.

La Nave de los Monstruos (Ship of Monsters), this morning.
-
Scream Of Fear with Christopher Lee. Not horror strictly, but a thriller. GREAT stuff!!
-
- Nosferatu (1922)
I like how this is the only Dracula movie I've seen that shows what happens to the crew of the Detemer. Creepy.
edit. I still haven't seen the '79 version with Klaus Kinski, NetFlix says its a long wait.
-
I think I watched the House Of The Wolfman trailer about 500 times already, after that I recently watched a really bad copy of White Zombie...its on dvd but man the audio is horrible!
-
Starship Troopers. My boyfriend read the novel and he found this movie in the bargain bin; I was put off by the gore, but that is what we need to know about war. War is gore. I was glad to see what a good satire of fascism and militarism the film is. It also leaves one a bit conflicted at the end; we love the heroes (well... I have to admit I did not like Carmen -- at all) and we want to see them vanquish the bug invaders; yet at the same time we are horrified at what our own society and world has turned into. Plus, didn't humans invade the bug worlds first?
It is based on the original Starship Troopers novel by Robert A. Heinlein.

Hey Creeper, how is it? I was thinking about putting it on my NetFlix. I met her at a convention last year.
It's not bad but it isn't great. It has the original Leatherface, Gunner Hanson in it, and Herschal Gordon Lewis. Not sure if I spelled their names right though.
Just watched Young Frankenstein!
-
Nightbreed
-
District 9 - pretty good, me thought
-
The Time Machine-tonight on TCM
-
- The Vampire's Night Orgy
Pretty cool gothic feel, lots of graveyards, crypts and old villages filled with vampires. The title is misleading as well.
Now if they only used subtitles it would upgrade this 70's euro horror.
-
Killdozer. 1974 TV movie. A small crew on an uninhabited island are doing an excavating job. When the big D-9 bulldozer hits a larger meteorite containing some kind of alien energy life force the force is transmitted to the dozer. Shortly after the life force takes over the machine turning it into a 20 ton killer. One by one it picks off members of the crew ,destroys their camp and even taunts them and lays traps and ambushes. Not as good as Maximum Overdrive AKA Trucks but very cool especially for a TV movie. The guys in my 8th grade class loved this one. This does not have an official DVD release but it should. You can still find it on the net. I give it a 6.5.
-

-
Alien Zone 1978. Has nothing to do with aliens.
A man who is having an affair with a married woman is dropped off on the wrong street when going back to his hotel. He takes refuge out of the rain when an old man invites him in. He turns out to be a mortician, who tells him the stories of the people who have wound up in his establishment over the course of four stories.IMDB summary.
Not a very good print. Cheesy yet interesting nonetheless.
Features John Erickson as the Man Talmudge. (Played Sam in the old Honey West series.)
Ivor Francis a veteran character actor of the 60s and 70s plays the mortician.
Bernard Fox (Dr. Bombay , Bed knobs and Broomsticks)as a Scotland Yard Sleuth in an amusing tale of wits against a BAD Columbo wanna be.
The first story is kinda cool about a school teacher that hates kids. ??? She comes home from work and all this weird stuff happens in her house showing signs of a intruder. Eventually all these little kids donning Ben Cooper and Collegeville plastic masks emerge from various places in her house. The hitch tho is that they are actually green skinned mutant kids that attack and chew her up.
If not for the not so good print I would watch this again. Can be found in the Nightmare Worlds 50 movie pack. Even with the "watchable" quality of the print I still give this a solid 5 outta 10.
-
They. 1974 filmed in Wisconsin. The following is a summary from IMDB. I agree 100%. Total off the wall schlocky enjoyable crapfest with a VERY diverse musical score. 5 out of 10 for schlock films but the ending was like WTF was that. ???
Bill Rebanes "alien" movie that continues to blow away it's audiences even after 35 years of it's release. That's what I'd like to say, but in reality it's the complete opposite to most people who get caught up in most of the Hollywood garbage. But that may be a good thing, right?
Jake and his sister Sarah are living in a cabin deep in the woods of Manitoba (Canada? If so, it was actually Wisconsin, Rebanes original stomping grounds), accompanied by three scientists, Stan, Eric and Andy. The reason the trio is even out there is never explained, but at one point one of the characters bellows out "all the work in the lab can never compare to this field work!" I'm sure there "studies" are probably just as ridiculous as everything else waiting for the audience to see. What exactly can you do out in Wisconsin in the snow covered winter season? The group begins to pack up all the "gear", after a lengthy briefing from Jake, instructing his sister that they need to "kick up there heels a bit" in town and get with Eric, to which she pretty much shoots down his suggestions.
The group finally takes off in the plane,cranking out the hilarious theme music that has before been mentioned is a blatant ripoff of Ennio Morricone's "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly", only it's the cool 70's synthetic version with a few minor alterations.
About 30 seconds into the flight, they are forced to land due to low fuel and begin hearing voices on the radio from Jakes buddy Sam, a skinny white guy in a brown leather coat with 70's porno hair, claiming that everyone is dead from the horrible disease. The group ignores the warning and lands at another lodge where they witness a plane crash and a mysterious red light on the wall, which raises there curiosity and suspicion that something is going down. Then, the action REALLY begins.
So, they return to the cabin and for 85 minutes talk and debate over what is really happening, which they conclude is martians emerging from the earth's core to wipe out the human race. The character Stan seems to be the only one who has any real knowledge of this global crisis and then spouts out countless speeches and ludicrous theories of why the invasion is happening. At one point he even tries to tie the invasion to the biblical period of the Seventh Seal, which is downright hilarious.
The group must then decide on whether or not they should try to reach civilization or stick around and starve to death. Which brings us to an unbelievable ending that completely comes out of left field.
The storyline in the movie is a great idea, it's just too bad that Rebane didn't have the funds to polish it up a little bit. The good thing about it is that it keeps you watching in the hopes of seeing the actual aliens ripping it up. It was kind of disappointing, but that was the great thing about it. Rebane leaves it to your imagination. I'm not complaining, because to be completely honest and fair, I actually kind of like it the way it is. It has that good ol' fashion 70's feeling to it and the kind of charm that gives it the right to be in the "classic" category to those who have seen it. Whether you find it good or bad, you will never forget it, and that's a good thing.

I love The Mummy's Hand. I think it may be my all-time favorite Universal monster movie. I think I first saw it with my brother as a kid when I was about 6. It is still scary.
Just curious to your recent viewings. For me:
The Mummy's Hand (1940)
([url]http://www.shadowclad.com/sacrifice.jpeg[/url])
Easy enough to rip apart for some, but I loved it, as I do all the old Universal films.
-
The Manster. I didn't think I was going to like this one. Not really a fan of the Japanese stuff. However I thought this was a fairly cool film. The transformation of Larry into a a life of debauchery and then into a maniacal killer was interesting. The one big thing about this film that was way off was the cops running up the hills after him with a volcano going off nearby. I'll give it a 5.5.

Corridors Of Blood(1958)

The Hobbit (The animated movie from 76 or 77, I can't remember.)

- Twilight Zone The Movie
John Lithgow did a great job as the frightened airline passenger in Nightmare at 35,000 ft. All of the stories were well done. I remember as a kid, Joe Dante's story about Anthony really creeped me out.
-

I give it 3 out 5 stars ;D
-
Horror Hotel(1960)
The Blob(1958)
-
The Blob (1958) weird that Memphremagog just watched it too.
Surveillance (Just came out and has Bill Pullman in it and it is pretty good, I recommend it!)
-
Psycho- last night on TCM, I'm sure everyone has seen this great movie, but if for some reason you havent,
you need to watch it.
Great Acting and a scary movie, I give it 5 outta 5 stars.
By the way, I'm talking about the original with Anthony Perkins, not that cheap perverted piece of crap starring Vince Vaughn
-
Just watched, Mark of the Devil, pretty good movie about witch trials.
-
Watched the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers this morning. I hadn't watched the disc since I got a decent TV and was fairly shocked to realize that this isn't even an anamorphic transfer! "Widescreen" yes, but you have to zoom it. Still looked fairly good though. Jeez, it's past time for an upgrade on this classic (if not a blu-ray). It's one of those titles that never gets old.
-
"Driftwood", a lame ghost movie that takes place in a Boy's prison, starring ex-wrestler;Diamond Dallas Page.
I give it 1.5 outta 5 stars

"The Mask of Fu Manchu" after a lifetime of wanting to see this Karloff movie, I have to say it was not much of a movie.
-
"The Mask of Fu Manchu" after a lifetime of wanting to see this Karloff movie, I have to say it was not much of a movie.
Ya gotta admit that it plays out like a short version of an over the top Cliffhanger serials.
How the hell does he get those latex gloves on with those claws of his? :-\
-

First movie I watched in at least a week. VHS from a 2006 Ebay buy. 1933 Murders in the Zoo. Not sure why but Charles Ruggles the comedic relief got top billing over Lionel Atwill as the Evil guy in this one. He is rather humorous in several scenes. Supporting cast includes Randolph Scott , Gail Patrick , and Kathleen Burke.
Not a horror movie but a very cool and twisted for it's time dark crime movie. At this time not available on DVD. Highly recommended with my rating of 7.5 out of 10. Check out the synopsis on www.imdb.com (http://www.imdb.com)

I love the beginning of this movie. The subway attack still creeps me out.
Agreed!
-
MARKED- a terrible movie about Ghosthunters investigating a haunted house, and go up against a demon trying to get revenge.
The Demon looked like a cheap version of "The Master" from "Return of the Jedi", this movie sucked, I give it a 1 outta 5 stars.
-
ARRR! (Sept 19th) Today be "Talk Like A Pirate Day" so I be celebrating with a bottle of rum and these fine films:

Open Graves- starring that chic that played Faith on Buffy the Vampire Hunter, set in Spain, a group friends gather around and play an
evil boardgame, in which the losers die a horrible death, and the winner gains 1 wish.
Very cheesy, but it's blood and gore, I give it 2 outta 5 stars, maybe 3 just because of Faith ;D
-
Grace - A movie about a Mother and her baby. Don't want to give away too much, but worth seeing.

-
Clive Barker's Book of Blood, pretty cool, def.gore factor, I give it 3.5 outta 5 stars
-
What's your take on The Spirit?
It's funny, because when I saw The Spirit in the cinema late last year, I didnt think much of it, however, I have watched it on DVD several times since then and it has grown on me. I like Frank Miller's stuff and although it isnt a classic, it is cool in that SIN CITY noirish sort of way. Samuel Jackson and Scarlett Johanssen did a great job as the villains in it.
-
Tonight I watched "Earth Vs the Flying Saucers".
George
-
The other night I watched "The Fog" (1979) and liked it better than any other time I've watched it. My 10-year old daughter has been watching a lot of "The Addams Family" tv series and my soon to be 9-year old son has been watching a lot of "Ultraman" and watched "Godzilla vs Megaguirus" while he was home sick from school today.

Picked up the "First Official Season" of One Step Beyond. It looks fantastic compared to the public domain prints that have been the only way to see it since the 60's. Kudos to CBS for releasing this. No monsters per se, but John Newland had a creepy presence as the host and was a pretty good director. Also got Shaun of the Dead on blu-ray.

Witchboard-1987 Horror flick, not bad, not great, just in between. ;D

Bowery Boys Meet the Monsters. A family that is similar to the Addams Family before the Addams Family. An angry ape. A radio controlled robot and the usual hi jinx. Wish these later BB movies were available as official releases. Guess there wouldn't be any $ in it though.
Fright Night-Forgot how much I liked this one.
Giant From the Unknown. Not bad not great.

Spooks Run Wild. East Side Kids and Bela. Haven't seen this one in a few years. Not as good as I remember. A little bit too much running around the spooky house and getting lost. Not enough storyline/background to the Killer. Still a fun little romp with some dialog that made me LOL.

A&C Meet Frankenstein
Brainiac

Re-Animator

I love how they didn't make another movie with teen/college students, instead a squad of hardened British Army regulars.

Bug (1975)
Mutant cockroaches with the ability to start fires by rubbing their hind legs together wreck havoc on a town. A bit lengthy but still cool for it's time. 6 outta 10.
The Children (2008) From Ghost House underground is a tale of a couple and their kids living in a deep in the English woods house. The sister and her husband and their kids visit for the winter holidays. Never explains how they got it but they ,the children, are infected with some kind of virus that makes their behavior more unruly , then violent and the attacks begin. Some slightly disturbing scenes.
I watched this twice. Once on Friday night and again Saturday afternoon. It was better the second time. There are a couple deleted scenes in the special features that absolutely should have been left in.
I'll give it a 6.5 out of 10.
Offspring (2009) Based on a book by author Jack Ketchem.
A small band of feral flesh eaters who look like they came out of the later stone age , over half being youngsters ,have been moving along the coastline of the U.S. They attack remote houses and kill or capture the people inside. A retired cop is called in to help the local law track them down.This is a lower budget movie but is still pretty good. It contains graphic gore and violence as well as some nudity. Apparently many people at IMDB did not think much of this one but I enjoyed it. I'll probably watch it again soon. 7 out of 10.

Haven't seen this one in awhile, almost forgot how good it really is.
BTW, last week was Modern horror, this week is Hammer horror, next week is Universal classics the week after is 70's double features and Halloween week is an avalanche of some of my all time favorites. I love the season!

Bram Stoker's Dracula (Love Never Dies). Anthony Hopkins was fabulous.

I picked up "The Monster Squad" on DVD for $9. Hadn't seen it in many years. Not too bad, but it's no threat to "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein".
-
- Twins of Evil
- The Vampire Lovers
A double feature to finish up Hammer Horror week.
Twins is my favorite of the two due to a better story, the shades of blue and grey, the Collinson Twins, the evilness of this Count Karnstein and Peter Cushing's evil role.
VL has one of the best openings of any vampire movie with the blond vampire woman in the old graveyard. I also like the adaptation of "Carmilla", the shots of The Man in Black against a night background as well as Ingrid Pitt, but Twins wins between the two. Lust for a Vampire doesn't even compare in the series.
-
Prophecy. Mid 70s enviro movie that was very much like a 70s TV movie of the week until the last 20 or so minutes when mutant mama bear killed a few people looking for her mutant cub(thanks to the local paper/chemical mill that was SOOO NOT putting bad stuff in the water). Not bad if you like the afore mentioned . Found it on sale at Bestbuy for $4. 4.5 outta 10.
-
Today I watched "Strange Invaders".

hey Sean, I watched that this last Saturday, even fired up the popcorn machine! It's just such a fun movie.
It was no coincidence that one of my best buds told me the next day that he was going to watch it that night! I think A&CMF is one of the most beloved monster flicks.

So how was it? A buy or a one time rental? I've been looking at this one.
It was ok, I thought it was kinda weird and didn't really keep interested. But I was kinda tired and started to doze off so I had to stand up and wake myself up to finish it.
Just watched:
Children
I like this one a lot, and is worth buying in my opinion. Check it out if you haven't.

It's definitely a fun movie. Wilbur's 'You and 20 million other guys...' line to Talbot was a classic. It reminds me of the nickel spook houses we used to put on in my parents' basement around Halloween when I was a kid. All the kids on the block would get together to work on home made props and special effects and homemade costumes-------and like the movie, we'd have all kinds of monsters running around. Just fun stuff. The straight played monsters with the comedy team of A&C just worked.
It's nostaligic for me. I remember church every Sunday, then we'd visit my grandparents and eat a meal with them afterward. I think it was channel 11 WPIX then (central NJ) that showed the Abbott & Costello movies early afternoon (maybe 12pm or 1pm?) and I'd watch them there at my grandparents' house. And naturally, A&C Meet Frank was my all-time favorite.
The DVD I watched had some nice 'additional features' as well.

An American Werewolf in London
I rate this flick as about a B-. The transformation was innovative for its time, but like Rick Baker I would have preferred a bipedal werewolf. Also, I never felt David Naughton was very convincing in the lead.

-
- House of Frankenstein
- House of Dracula
One of my favorite double features, although I prefer HOD over HOF. HOD had a better Dracula story, Carradine played the role as a suave, sinister Dracula instead of being Karloff's lackey in HOF. Karloff was the best part of HOF, but it seems Universal started to figure out how to utilize the 3 monsters in HOD and then was perfected in A&C Meet Frank. I love the beginning of HOD when Carradine just shows up in a creepy opening as does Talbot. I also like the scene when Carradine is seducing the assistant while she is playing the piano.
-
Night of the Demon, a near perfect horror film IMO.
-
Watched 20 Million Miles To Earth with my 14 month old daughter while the wife was out with the 5 year old. Note to self: The Ymir's shreiking vocalizations were absolute catnip for my daughter. She was jumping up and down on the sofa with GLEE. (Don't tell my wife) <G>

YMIR,20 Million Miles. GREAT fun 50s monster flick!

She enjoyed Mutiny on the Bounty before passing out tonight... Boy, that Charles Laughton was NOT a handsome man. Honestly, if he'd had just a LITTLE bedhead and the director maybe slapped him in the right eye just before 'lights' and 'camera'--------he really didn't need makeup for Quasimodo.
I brought my 5 year old up the right way, too. I think she was 2 and we were sitting in the dark watching King Kong Lives, eating fried flounder when my wife comes home from PTA and is just mortified. <G>. My kids have good taste, what can I say?

A pretty good adaptation of Stoker's novel with great gothic atmosphere. Christopher Lee gives a different turn as the Count that is one of his best. It would be much better if it had subtitles.
Soledad Miranda makes anyone's list of sexy vampire women.
Overall recommended.

Tonight I watched nearly all of TCM's William Castle marathon. I watched:
Mr. Sardonicus
Straight-Jacket
The Tingler
13 Ghosts
and about half of the 1960's version of "The Old Dark House". I fell asleep midway through and woke up to catch the end of the 1930's ODH, as well as a short based on Poe's "The Tell Tale Heart". I was especially looking forward to Sardonicus, as I'd never seen it and had heard so much about it here on the forums. It was pretty good. I guessed the basic plot twist of "Straight-Jacket" about five minutes in, so that one was a let-down. "13 Ghosts" and "The Tingler" are goofy fun as always, but Castle's ODH frankly sucked. All in all, not a bad night of movie viewing :)
George
-
Couple episodes of the original Twilight Zone. Last 40 minutes of Mr. Sardonicus. Bor-ing.
I had wanted to see Straight Jacket for years and was looking forward to this. Didn't hold my attention and I gave up about halfway through. Sure glad I didn't buy it.
-
- Dracula Contra Frankenstein
A guilty pleasure of mine. I like the Hammer feel through out especially in the beginning. Drac was weak for the most part but the vampire women made up for it. Overall a cheesy 70's euro horror.
-
THE TINGLER on Turner Classic last night.
-

The Tingler & 13 Ghosts on TCM, last night.

"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.

"Werewolves: The Dark Survivors" (2009)
Made for cable TV movie. (showing on Animal Planet of all places)
Faux documentary (shot like a true crime show) about a cop and a zoologist investigating a murder and how it leads them into the shadowy world of modern day werewolves.
Surprisingly decent take on the werewolf legend. Tries to be realistic even with such a fantastic subject. I enjoyed it.

Last night I watched "Tomb Raider". This evening I watched the original "House on Haunted Hill" and the 1958 "The Blob" with some friends. It was the first time in many years that I'd watched "The Blob". I saw it as a child in first grade and had nightmares for two weeks ;)

The Frighteners, Burnt Offerings,
Return of the Living Dead.........plus my local dollar cinema screened N.O.T.L.D. today. Awesome!!!!

The Thaw was pretty good, about a prehistoric parasite that gets released from a thawing mammoth. I liked it and think it is worth checking out.
Watched Orphan last night and it is really good. I recommend it.

"Dracula" 1979 with Frank Langella, Laurence Olivier, Donald Pleasence. I have put off watching this for years. It pissed me off when this came out because I thought they where trying to make Dracula a pretty boy. With today s standards Frank Langella seems pretty butch with all bastardized twilight vampires prancing around in the woods.
Laurence Olivier, Donald Pleasence are great in this movie and Frank Langella is OK as Dracula. Worth while watch if you like Dracula movie's as I do.

When this came out, I also was 'anti-Langella'------without even giving him a shot. But over the years, I have grown to really like this movie. When Sir Laurence is in the underground, beneath the cemetery and he encounters his vampire daughter... I was almost as scared as I am of Wicked Lester's avatar ;D...

-
Stan Helsing A comedy like the Scary Movie series, it was alright and had some funny parts but the ending was not that good in my opinion.
Son of Dracula
House of Dracula
-
Halloween Original tv version with about ten minutes of extra footage.
Halloween 3 Season of the Witch
-
Salem's Lot...via YouTube! Someday I have gotta get the full length DVD. That was a great TV mini-series. Just as scary as when I first saw it 30 (!) years ago.
-
I saw Young Frankenstein, Planet of the Apes, Beneath the Planet of the Apes. All three movies are classics and I never get bored watching them.
-

-
Young Frankenstein
Day of the Dead (Original)
Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman
-
I just finished watching Zaat on TCM. Wow, it was irresistibly awful. This one is a true treat for the bad movie gourmet. I recommend it if you truly enjoy excruciatingly bad movies with terrible monster suits, stupid plots, bad acting and wretched 70s style nihilistic endings. I had a good time.

-
- Ivonna Cadaver's Halloween Special 2003 (hot, hot and hot!)
- Nosferatu 1979 (first time seeing this, incredible locations and one of the creepiest Dracula movies I have seen. Highly recommended!)
- Dracula (a yearly tradition during trick r treat time.)
-
Watched Trick R Treat yesterday. Pretty damn cool but not awesome.
Started my Tales from the Darkside season one. 3 episodes in it's ok.
I just bought Season 2 and so far there has only been one really good episode :/
-
- Frankenstein (The Keeper Halloween Special)
-
The Rage Not too bad of a movie. It is pretty gory and had some funny parts in it. It was done by Robert Kurtzman.

The Pit (1981)
12 Y.O kid with some "issues" gets picked on and bullied for being strange. He has an evil teddy bear that talks to him. His parents leave him in the care of a psyche student/nanny while they go off somewhere.
He discovers a pit in the woods with Trogs/apelike carnivores and becomes the caretaker. Soon some people from town start to disappear.
This plays out like a 70s TV movie with some mild nudity and gore. Not scary and has a sudden WTF was that ending but worth a view if you like cheesy 80s movies. It kept me interested and gave me a couple of laughs. 5 outta 10.
-
Friday the 13th (remake)
-
Son Of Dracula(1943)
The Mad Ghoul(1943)

-
House of the Devil. It keeps getting decent reviews, but i thought it sucked. :)
-
The Bat (Vincent Price version)
The Monster From Green Hell (cheezy-cool giant bugs & lots of stock footage)
-
Hellgate. Another 80s cheesefest with bikers/ghosts/zombies and an alien crystal that blows things up.
It also brings back dead things then blows them up. Oh and it kills live things and blows them up. And it has Ron Palillio (Horshack) as the hero. Stupid fun movie. 5 outta 10
-
Children of the Corn (remake)
It was alright, the woman in it is kinda annoying but it is not that bad of a movie. I still like the original better.
-
- Daughters of Darkness
- The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires
First time seeing both of these movies. DoD was a pretty good take on Countess Bathory with sexy vampire women, good acting and a great ending. 7 Golden Vampires was OK, kung fu and vampires with a touch of Hammer. Cushing is always good to watch.
-
Land of the Lost
I thought it was alright, they changed a few things but it had some funny parts in it and it is worth seeing.
-
Finished up Tales from the Darkside season 1. It was good but not too much of what I would call horror. Mostly dark fantasy/fiction with some humor in every episode.
Started The Night Gallery Season 2 today.
-
The Fog (John Carpenter's)
-
Twilight which I didn't much care for Zombie Razz
-
DONOVAN'S BRAIN...with Lew Ayres and Nancy Davis. Suprisingly good, and VERY scary...especially when you consider how far medical technology has come since it was made.....
Elisabeth
-
Night of the Creeps
Great 80's horror flick! I recommend you see it if you haven't. Tom Atkins is in it and is great. I read a article on him and he said it was his favorite movie he made. Written and directed by Fred Dekker who did The Monster Squad afterwards. Thrill me!

Staunton Hill
It Came From Outer Space

-
Echo A pretty good ghost movie definetly worth watching.
-
Flash Gordon (1980)
-
True Blood Season 1 episodes 3 & 4 So far I have enjoyed watching True Blood. At times it runs the risk of being Sex in the City with vampires. I like some of the characters so I'll keep on watching.
Dexter Season 3 episodes 3 & 4 What can I say Dexter rocks. The story is starting to unfold and keep you guessing. Cracks me up Jennifer Carpenter character has the filthiest mouth in the history of TV.
The Hills Run Red. BabyFace was a great villain. If you haven't checked out Hills.. Check it out it's pretty good.
-
My gf & I just watched the second half of DEXTER Season 3, and the 1st episode of Season 4. Such a good show.
-
King of the Zombies (1941)
-
Halloween (Rob Zombie version)
-
Summer Moon Not a bad movie about a girl who goes looking for her Dad and gets more than she wanted. It is worth watching.

A Nightmare On Elm St.(1984)
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein(1994)

On the UMA TV Network:
It! The Terror From Beyond Space! (1958)
-
- Frankenstein's Bloody Terror
- The Evil of Frankenstein (Elvira)
First time seeing FBT, standard 70's Paul Naschy film. It was cool to see the first installment of the series and how Naschy became a werewolf. The male vampire was lame. His wife made up for him though.
Really enjoyed Evil of Frank. I remember seeing this as a kid on Saturday afternoons, but never as an adult. So with "new" eyes, I have to add Evil in my top 3 favorite Hammer Frank films (along with Curse and Destroyed). It reminded me of Scars of Dracula in that is was almost a stand alone entry in the Hammer series with great lab scenes and Cushing delivering as usual.
Plus Elvira is STILL looking good!
-
Kingdom of the Spiders (Shatner)

Can you imagine the general manager setting a price point for THAT? And the ensuing debate?
"Nobody will buy that thing."
"Are you kidding me----there are people who will pay TRIPLE".

I have this DVD'd and I just keep watching it. It doesn't get old for me.
-
I just watched The Bride of Frankenstein last night.
-
Quatermass and the Pit last night. We're making our way through the Ultimate Hammer Collection. I enjoyed it but I don't believe them to be Martians. They are so obviously crickets. Andrew Keir was cool. What should we watch tonight: Horror of Frankenstein, Frankenstein Created Woman, To Devil A Daughter or one of my Basil films, Son of Frankenstein?
-
The Vampire
-
- Succubus (Lame. By the middle is was on in background only)
- Vampyros Lesbos (A guilty pleasure. Love watching Soledad Miranda plus the story is loosely based on Dracula)

- Shaun of the Dead
I'm embarrassed to admit, but this was the first time I have seen this modern classic. A clever entry in the horror comedy genre, but you already knew that.
-
I finished up True Blood series today, It was pretty good. True Blood ended with some open ended stories so I might have to watch season 2. I'm half way through Dexter season 3. It's great just like the first two seasons of Dexter.

Being without a computer for 10 days I watched Night Gallery Season 2. A few episodes were soso but IMO this is a must have in any collection. Fear Itself AKA Masters of Horror season 3. Killed that off in 2 days. There were a few REALLY good episodes and couple that were interesting until the WTF that was so dumb ending. Now am 6 episodes on on Kolchak the Night Stalker series. Cheesy but fun.

Saturday the 14th, It's one of my guilty horror/comedy pleasures.

Without Warning(1980)
Did they finally release this on dvd? I haven't seen it for years and seen a couple of sites that sell homemade ones but when I went back they didn't have their site anymore.
-
Tonight begins my Frankenstein-a-palooza. As soon as I put the kiddies to bed, the original 1931 Frankenstein goes in the DVD player.
Just got the Legacy Set from Amazon delivered today.
-
Got a dvd of Fritz Lang's M, beautiful print, from Hong Kong. Case info (and disk info) printed in Chinese, but the word Criterion appears in English on the back of the case, so I guess that identifies the origin. Excellent crisp print, fine sound. Lorre's work is flawless in this film.
-
I watched "Monster House" tonight. I hit the Black Friday sale at my local Wal-Mart this morning and picked up a stack of cheap DVDs. I have a hard time passing up movie sales ;)

One of my favorite ghost stories. Nicholson makes you believe he is really going crazy.
-
I'm not sure why but I set through most of Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus.
Then I watched Hellboy II & Dawn of the Dead (04)
Matinee w/ John Goodman. I hadn't seen this film since I saw it in the theater. Matinee was OK. This is one film I think could have been a lot better. But I enjoyed it none the less.

Kolchak, the Night Stalker. 1st episode titled: The Ripper

Kolchak, the Night Stalker. 1st episode titled: The Ripper
I just finished the series. They could have done much better with this show. Earlier episodes are better. This is a fun show to share with your kids.

ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS (just got the 4th Season collection): Today saw the episode based on Bradbury's "Marionettes, Inc.", a rare foray into sci-fi for Hitch!

Flash Gordon 1936! Still awesome.
-
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen
The Return of the Vampire
-
Banged out Frankenstein (1931) and The Bride of Frankenstein from the Legacy Collection
-
- The Beast From Hollow Mountain (Count Gore)
The only good thing about this movie was Gore found footage of himself hosting this back in August 1979. Interesting to hear the Carter Adminstration references.
-
The Day the Earth Stood Still----remake with Keanu Reeves
At the end, there was no address to the world. They just left after indicating to Jennifer Connelly and some orphaned kid that they understood that 'people can change' when at the verge of self-destruction.
The also left shortly after a military assault, which was likely falsely credited with 'chasing away the bad aliens'...
What are the chances in this version that people changed their ways on Earth? The front pages probably read 'Army Destroys Aliens'.
Most disappointing ending.
-
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939) with Charles Laughton. I don't think I have seen this version before. I enjoyed this version it was pretty good.
-
Testament (1983): Didn't much cared for this film as I did Threads.
-
Komodo VS Cobra (Michael Pare)
A ridiculously poorly acted abomination
-
I watched "Monsters Vs Aliens" tonight. It's a goofy movie, but I can't hate any film that contains so many homages to 50's sci-fi/horror films.
George
-
Trilogy of Terror with Karen Black. Haven't seen this in at least 10 years and still remember some of the dialogue. Pretty cool.

Frailty - Enjoyed it very much. Normally not a McConaughey fan. But he was good in this movie.

I had movie night earlier this evening with my friends, and we watched "X: The Man With the X-Ray Eyes".

This is one of the reasons I love this board. I never heard of this movie, must have slipped through the cracks, so I rented it and thought it was a pretty good movie. Definitely worth watching.
-
The Final Destination: Pc of Garbage of a movie.
-
- Blood Freak (The Bone Jangler)
A WTF kind of movie. Strange.
Aside from the movie, I definitely enjoyed The Bone Jangler's Thanksgiving show.

Terminator Salvation
-
The silent "classic" 'The Call of Cthulhu' (2005) as done by the HPLHS -
In my opinion, this is one of the few Lovecraft story to film adaptations that remain true to the source material...
If you haven't seen it yet, (and enjoy silent movies) I would highly recommend it.
I also watched the wonderful 'Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde' (1931) because I just can't get enough of March in the role -
This is by far my favorite version of this story, with Barrymore's coming a VERY close 2nd...
;D

Millennium "Midnight of the Century" If you haven't watched Millennium before and you get the chance. This episode is a great example and quality this series has.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: A new beginning, The Gate,
Kingdom of the Spiders

Kingdom of the Spiders I saw this when I was a kid. I guess I didn't think much of it. Because this is the first time I think I've seen it since then I think. It's not bad. It kinda plays like a made for TV movie. Yes I like the ending. That's all I'll say about the ending because I don't want tot give it away.
-
Original Outer Limits - The Zanti Misfits. Haven't seen this in over 20 years. First saw it as a real little kid in our basement in the near dark. Scared the crap outta me then. Our basement stairs had a turn in them and I was sure that those evil ant guys would be waiting for me.
Now it's just a fun Sci-Fi show with almost laughable creatures.

Dracula Has Risen From The Grave

I believe that's the fourth Hammer Dracula film. Third, if you don't count "Brides of Dracula", which technically is part of the series but doesn't actually have Dracula in it.

Fun movie....classic William Shatner. Lol ;D

"Beyond Tomorrow"
"The Haunting" (scary!)

I watched "Creature From The Black Lagoon" with my 5 year old nephew this last weeked. Trying to get him into the classics as I had at his age.
-
- Vampz (low budget movie with fine looking vampire women)
- Night of the Living Dead Reanimated (Count Gore)
NOTLDR is an experimental film illustrated by multiple artists from around the globe. They kept the original soundtrack and dialogue and added all kinds of animation. In Gore's words "you lose visual continuity but gain visual variety". Some of the animation I didn't care for, but most was interesting and abstract. A different take on a classic made by fans.

FRANKENSTEIN, Christmas Evil.

- Vampire Diary (2007)
A strange movie. Centered on a woman making a documentary on the "wannabe" vampire scene/clubs in London. Soon enough she comes across a woman who happens to be a real one. Death, sex and mayhem ensue. Saw this on Netflix.

The Man Who Changed His Mind(1936)
-
- Black Christmas (1974)
A classic of the genre although I still prefer Halloween.
Truth be told, Silent Night, Bloody Night (1973) predates both of these films and could be one of the most underrated horror films. It had the killer's POV shots, disturbing phone calls, great gothic atmosphere and one of the creepiest endings. I think the darkness of the film which made it difficult to see what was happenning and some of the acting has left this film in the dust.

Bloody Mary (2006?)
Ok low budget movie. Take the urban legend of Bloody Mary add in a few early 20 something girls who work in a mental asylum add in 50 year old tunnels underneath ,some gore ,plucked out eyes ,a few characters you hate and hope die ,and some pointless nudity and there ya go.
Worth a watch if you like low budget stuff. My score 4 outta 10.
-
- The Ghoul (Penny Dreadful's Shilling Shockers)

I SELL THE DEAD

Jack Frost.....low budget slasher about a Killer Snowman... I give it 2 outta 5 stars...and only 2 because it was so stupid it was funny.
-
Tobe Hoopers Mortuary. 2005
Widow and her 2 kids , teenage son and daughter maybe 8,move into an old mortuary to try to fix it up and get it going again. Some black slime starts growing all over things and the dead come back to life and the living become infected. The first half played out like a ramped up episode of Goosebumps. Then came the drug references/naked zombies/exploding boobs/shot gunned head etc.
OK low budget film but the ending was a WTF was that impossible finish. 4.5 outta 10.
Invaders from Mars 80s remake. Fun Sci-fi romp the whole family will enjoy. Might be a bit scary for those not in school yet. 7 outta 10.
-
Strange Invaders 1983
Never seen this before. It is a nostalgic spoof/homage to the Sci-fi movies of the 50s.
Ok,nothing special. Probably wouldn't watch it again. 3.5 outta 10.
