When Did You Last Watch A Classic Universal Monster Movie?

Multiple discounts? ....yay!!!

Shame, shame tidroplane -- misspelling "Frankenstein" is not allowed on UMA. You must now submit to corrective brain surgery by the good doctor and his trusty assistant Igor... 

He meant to say "Fronk-n-stein"

For a better version of this same story, see Paul Naschy's "Horror Rises from the Tomb". Most of the best Naschy films were deliberate pastiches of Universals... This one is like a hybrid of a Romero zombie flick, a Hammer vampire movie, and The Thing that couldn't die-- in short, it's a Naschy film! It is definitely R-rated though, so it may not be little kid or girl-friend safe

Last Saturday:

"The Thing That Couldn't Die" (1958)

Plot: IMDB
A psychically gifted young woman discovers a centuries-old crate buried on her aunt's ranch. Opening it, her family discovers the living head of Gideon Drew, a 16th century devil worshiper who was beheaded by Sir Francis Drake.

Phantom's Review: Schlock, wonderful schlock. I think more than any other genre, horror has more goofy, schlock movies, and this is a prime example. The basic plot is okay, but the acting is wooden, the special FX aren't...well..special and there are absolutely no good scare scenes and the ending is very anti climatic. The music is borrowed from other Universal films (listen for the "Creature From The Black Lagoon " theme) This is definitely not one of Universals classics, or near classic for that matter. A great film for Bad Movie Night, but not good for anything else.

Creature From The Black Lagoon on AMC a few weeks ago. It's been years since I've seen it. Watching it again made me realize something. Ol'Creech was almost justified in what he was doing. Here's some strange humans in his territory screwing with him and he's supposed to be the bad guy for defending himself and his turf? Even wanting to kidnap the girl wasn't an act of evil so much as an act of loneliness. Or maybe I'm just messed up in the head for siding with the monster.

I am watching one right now.... Dracula 1932. I got Frankenstein up next!

[Mord]

Actually 1931, but who's counting. Great choices, though.
