Many people consider "Frankenstein Must be Destroyed" the best of the sequels. I haven't seen it in years but a Blu Ray version is due out 10/1/15 that is cheaper than the DVD (go figure). Will be picking that up when it's released.
Count me as one of those people. I just have an old, "burned" copy, so the Blu-ray is great news. There are so many memorable scenes in that film (the garden sequence is my favorite).

Another aspect of [Curse of Frankenstein] for me was Christopher Lee's portrayal of the monster. There's a scene where an old blind man is sitting in the woods when the monster arrives. The exchange between these two, and especially the reaction from the monster to the old man's fear is interesting to watch. At first the monster has no ill intention, but as the old man's fear and panic increases so does the monster attitude toward him when finally the man falls to the ground and starts screaming. At this point the monster becomes agitated and we can only assume the monster kills him as the last shot shows the monster reaching for him as the screen fades to black. Lee's slow build of aggression was like an animal. A great overlooked performance in this film IMO. Showing fear was the old man's downfall. If he had spoke to the monster in a calm fashion he would have probably lived through the incident.

Well said! I also think Sir Lee is wonderful in The Mummy. The moments when emotion comes through is always impressive!

I was watching two Joi Lansing films, "Hillbillys in a Haunted House" and "Bigfoot."  Lansing is of course fun to watch, and her co-stars in the films (Carradine, Chaney Jr., Basil Rathbone, etc.) are always fun.  These two films are of course really awful drive-in fodder, but I watch that kind of stuff all the time and I think these flicks are a lot of fun (especially if you take them for what they are, and not for what they're not).
Beautiful moving, shifting colors!

Alright Gory Glen and Mord, I couldn't take it anymore:

Last night watched:

Frankenstein Must be Destroyed (1969)

Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970)

Definitely my two fav Hammer sequels. FMBD is def the best Frankenstein sequel, though Frankenstein Created Woman belongs in the discussion.  What's interesting about the Hammer Frankenstein series is that the creature is really secondary. Baron Frankenstein is actually the monster in these films. Other than "Curse," "From Hell," and maybe "Evil," the Frankenstein monsters are really not that memorable in the Hammer films.

As for "Taste the blood," still one of my all time fav Dracula movies period. I've said this before, but "Taste" was the first Hammer film I saw as a kid and it blew my mind, so I have sentimental attachment to the movie.

I wish Christopher Lee would have reprised his role as the monster in the sequels but I'm guessing that playing Dracula took up all his time. "Taste" was the first Hammer Dracula film I saw in the theaters so that made it special for me.

Phantom Stranger

'Tammy And The T Rex' (1994)
-Denise Richards, Paul Walker

Plot: IMDB
An evil scientist implants the brain of Michael, a murdered high school student, in an animatronic Tyrannosaurus. He escapes, wreaks vengeance on his high school tormentors and is reunited with his sweetheart Tammy. Together, the couple try to elude the mad scientist and the police and find a more appropriate vessel for Michael's brain.

Phantom's Review: There are bad movies, there are REALLY BAD movies, and then there is this movie. Terrible beyond belief. God awful acting, lame attempts at humor, and a story that is so bad it's hard to believe this film was actually made. The only thing this film has going for it, is the dinosaur actually looks all right. Skip it at all costs , unless your having a Bad Movie Night.

Saw "The Flame Barrier" (1958), for the first time, on YouTube. Easily the weakest of the "Gramercy 4". Pretty slow going for the majority of it's running time. Still, I wish they would put out a DVD.
