Since it was November 1st, the Mexican Day Of the Dead, I celebrated with a Mexican horror film marathon:

The Vampire(1957)
Face Of the Screaming Werewolf(1959)
The Black Pit Of Dr.M(1959)
The Man and the Monster(1959)
Curse Of the Doll People(1961)
The Witch's Mirror(1961)
The Bloody Vampire(1962)
The Brainiac(1962)
Invasion Of the Vampires(1963)
Curse Of the Crying Woman(1963)

Sounds to me like "the day of Abel Salazar" lol.

No doubt, since he was the most prolific of the Mexican horror genre filmmakers from the '50's through the mid '60's.

The Ghost of Frankenstein

I haven't watched this movie in years. I forgot how weird it is.  :o Chaney wasn't a bad monster visually and you got to see him a lot in this movie. I was reading about this film on Wikipedia and I never realized that the whole "walking with his arms outstretched" thing was used after this film because of the Igor/Monster going blind at the end of the film. I tell you Dr. Theodore Bohmer (Lionel Atwill) had to be the worst doctor ever to not check blood types before performing a major organ transplant.  :o And who could forget the Monster talking in Igor's voice! An idea they nixed in "Frankenstein meets the Wolfman" :D

 Flaws and all, I thought Chaney Jr.'s performance as the monster was the best outside of Karloff. He actually got to do something. Bela's monster was the worst. Glenn Strange looked really good as the monster (2nd best) but he never had anything to do. He'd be activated in the last 3 minutes of the movie, bump into things, and get "killed".

I have to agree about Chaney's performance, while not great it certainly was the best after Karloff. Bela's monster was the worst but Wikipedia blames that in part to this film.

QuoteThe blinding of the Monster resulted in a lasting stereotype of the creature walking with arms outstretched, even though this is the only film in which it is explicitly indicated that he is blind, such references being cut by the studio from Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, sabotaging Lugosi's performance in the process, since the audience is left to wonder why the Monster is behaving so peculiarly.

I like Glenn Strange best after Karloff. Just because his facial features were so pronounced. Chaney was always a little portly. Bela had great features too....just not best suited for the monster.

Dagon (2001)

Stuart Gordon based his film on two Lovecraft stories, Dagon, and The Shadow Over Innsmouth. Effective, unsettling, and pretty damned cool.

Absolutely. Strange was a much better looking Frankenstein monster, but Chaney Jr.'s performance was better than any of Strange's (and he did 3 movies).

I liked Dagon. It's one of those films that doesn't get enough praise.
