Yeah i like it. Pretty entertaining. Still, could have been better imo. Casting TC bad mistake. I also think they should have dropped the attempts at humor. I'd say 2.5 or 3 out of 5.

Second Peter Lorre Columbia film.

THE FACE BEHIND THE MASK (1941) at YouTube

Probably one of Lorre's best remembered lead roles! (So many of his best remembered roles were supporting ones.) He plays a hopeful immigrant, horribly disfigured in a fire, who has to resort to a life of crime to survive. And then, just when he finds happiness and is about to turn his life around, tragedy strikes, again!

Also in the cast are Evelyn Keyes and (once again) Don Beddoe and George Stone. Well directed by Robert Florey (Murders in the Rue Morgue).

I've seen it. Good movie. WB, I believe.

Right now, I'm doing Columbia horror (and related) movies not on DVD. Back to horror for the final 2 Columbias.

Got most of the way through Tales of Halloween last night, but the internet went out.

Pretty typical anthology.  Some okay shorts, some not so great ones.  Plenty of neat monsters though.  Hoping to finish it up tonight.

Watched 'Gerald's Game' last night. It's the only Stephen King novel I've been unable to finish, but the movie was pretty good. It's got me wanting to have another crack at the novel. The ending/twist may not be to everyone's taste, it suddenly becomes a little daft, but I liked it in a 'guilty pleasure' kind of way.

Back to horror, with Columbia's . .

CRY OF THE WEREWOLF (1944) at YouTube

Not Columbia's best werewolf movie (The Werewolf - 1956), but an entertaining one. Much better than it's reputation, I think. If it was a better movie, I'd call it "Lewtonesque", as it has some of those qualities. A gypsy woman, who can turn into a wolf, kills a museum owner (Fritz Leiber) who is about to expose her family's secret. The man's son and his GF try to solve the mystery.

No werewolf makeup/FX in this one, just a German Shepard.  :(

With Nina Foch ("The Return of the Vampire"), Barton MacLane (dumb cop #1), John Abbott ("The Vampire's Ghost"), Milton Parsons (the undertaker, who else!) First time director Henry Levin ("Journey to the Center of the Earth").

Been loving this month on TCM.

Frankenstein (1931)
Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

I just don't think you can beat a line-up like that.
