Five Million Years To Earth(1967)(aka "Quatermass And The Pit") on Turner Classic Movies. I like this film better than "Quatermass 2" and also prefer Andrew Keir's portrayal Of Professor Quatermass to that of Brian Donlevy's in the 1957 "Quatermass 2" film.

"Return Of The Vampire" (1944) -Bela Lugosi Plot: IMDB When an errant bomb unearths the coffin of a vampire during the London Blitz, a gravedigger unknowingly reanimates the monster by removing the stake from his heart Phantom's Review: Bela Lugosi's unofficial "Dracula" movie. He plays the count in everything but name and does a damn fine job at it, the rest of the movie is a fun creepy little movie, not really a classic but very entertaining. |
Son of Frankenstein (1939). This so-called third installment of the Frankenstein trilogy adds its own flair to the series, utilizing to full effect its sublime cast. The stark and shadowy atmosphere, the nefarious intrigues, and the rotten Ygor playing that mysterious flute-like instrument all add to its mysterious essence. Of particular importance were the elaborate set designs, with the camera utilizing interesting camera angles which left visual highlights for the viewer to feast on. The acting was spot on, with the monstrous pair Lugosi and Karloff doing the Devil's work, Rathbone hamming it up to delightful effect, and Atwill and his hilariously animated arm attempting to hold the discommoding situation together. The result is a finality to the trilogy that can hold its head up high in light of its incredible predecessors. Merci beaucoup.

I love Lugosi as Ygor. One of his greatest roles!

really enjoyed it. After doing a bit of research I read that Lon Chaney went on the wagon filming this. It shows...he gave a great performance. The girls were great as well. |
Not to mention Sid Haig!
