The Killer Shrews.
The killer shrews are actually pretty nasty looking, and the leading lady with the speech impediment is hilarious. A fun no-budget creature feature from the 50s. |

I watched this: http://www.ilcancello.com/LOCANDINE%...ARTH%20(2).jpg |
Watched the Lugosi Dracula last night...probably my favourite of the Universal classics. Haven't watched it in at least a year...
I love them all, but this one seems to shine above the rest for me. |
The Premature Burial (1962)
Very good, but not on par with most of Corman's Poe stuff. Milland was great (as usual), but this stuff is so tailor-made for Price that seeing someone else in a lead role just doesn't seem right. Plot was a bit weak, too...wasn't much to it. It was still an awesome movie - you can't beat Roger Corman's atmosphere - but it's probably the weakest by comparison. |

Psycho, Pure genius.
This movie appeal's to all walk's of life, not just a great horror film ,just a great film, period. Hitchcock masterpeice. |
Black Sunday / Masque of Satan: An absolutely wonderful horror picture. Though I wasn't sure about the end, or the middle section to be honest. However, the beginning was dazzling, even if it wasn't quite as strong as the opening to the other film I watched tonight, Ghoulies IV. In fact, Black Sunday compared unfavourably next to that film. And I wasn't keen on Barbara Steele, her acting didn't work for me. So, mixed feelings in all, but I'll look out for more of Mr Bava's stuff.

Maniac (1934)
Pure lunacy. Over the top overacting. Insane plot. Nudity. The infamous cat's eyeball scene. This is Ed Wood type craziness- but it was done in 1934 fer godssake! This is a must see for all lovers of trash cinema. |
Werewolf Of London

I just watched Night of Terror with Lugosi and I must say I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Don't get me wrong I love Lugosi but I hadn't heard much about it and decided to give it a shot because I had it in a movie pack I bought a while back. Loved it.

"The Beast of Yucca Flats"
-Tor Johnson This is the kind of movie that bad movie nights were made for. Pointless, plot less and totally without direction. A trash lovers delight. |
1968 Night of the Living Dead
I love the original. I enjoyed the remake a little but nothing beats the original. |
The Touch of Her Flesh (1967)
Michael/Roberta Findlay film, first in the trilogy. In this enjoyably sleazy grindhouse film, a man finds his partner in bed with another man. Enraged, he rushes out of the apartment, only to be hit by a car. He becomes preoccupied with the evils of unchaste women, and so sets out to murder them. |
Hah- sounds GREAT!
|
Yeah, it was quite enjoyable. Very low budget and kooky, with bizarre monologues and funky music. Worth a viewing.
|
The Last Man On Earth
I enjoyed this one and Vincent Price was spot on. |
The Last Man On Earth.
My second favorite of this story. The Omega Man edges it out just barely. *****************spoilers************************ I love how these older movies can capture "creepy" in such a subtle way. Like when the wife comes back [ "Let me in" ] or when the blind daughter is reaching out for her mother [ Mommy....I can't see...Mommy ]...very well done. |
Freaks 1931
|
"King Kong vs Godzilla"
Silly, goofy and lots of fun. |

|

Karloff and Lugosi at their best. |
Yesterday I saw The Mummy (30s Boris Karloff.) A gorgeous movie.
|
"The Mole People" (1956?)
Hysterically funny (it's not suppose to be but it is) monster movie from the mid 50's. Not great but worth the watch |

In 2004 Universal Studios released The Universal Classic Monster Collection- that series contains some awesome titles like Dracula, Frankenstein, Bride Of Frankenstein and The Mummy. At the same time Universal released three Legacy Collections containing films from the 30s and 40s. Dracula, Frankenstein and The Wolf Man Legacy collections were released. Hopefully these titles are still available on E Bay. Good luck collecting some classics. |
Today I watched City Of The Dead, featuring Count Dooku himself, Christopher Lee. A beautifully shot little horror film. I have a theory that this movie was an infulence on the first Silent Hill game.

Little Shop of Horrors.
There were days when nobody knew Jack Nicholson, till he got noticed in Corman films. |
Little Shop Of Horrors is awesome.

Bedlam (1946)
One of Val Lewton's weaker films, sluggishly paced and directed my Mark Robson. The movie never quite ignites, though it is chock full of good ideas and scattered chills. The biggest problem lies in its cast; Karloff aside, the rest of the actors are unappealingly dull, and Anna Lee fills only the pompous side of her character, never attaining a sympathetic dimension. Worse is Richard Fraser- the Quaker- whose characterization is flat as a board. However, there is enjoyment to be had, and to watch Karloff at play in an infinately gorgeous 18th century asylum is a joy. There is no doubt that even the less spectacular entries in Lewton's career are still admirable pictures. |
Freaks
Well I watch Freaks and Boris Karlof Bedlum last night some of my fave films ever...
Seen nealy all the freak remakes and none have the same shockin value of the original... |
