That is a good one...Peter and Chris together usually meant good times.
CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF (1961). While it takes forever for the still impressive Roy Ashton makeup to show, remains a good film with Oliver Reed as sensitive as he could ever be. Find this incredibly sad, though...poor Leon certainly didn't ask for the bad hand fate dealt him::sad::. ***1/2

Watched this last night. Tape in great condition. "Strange and beautiful" (to use Gary Merrill's words if I recall them correctly) landscapes reflect Bernard Herrmann's haunting and vigorous score like a well polished mirror. Ray Harryhausen never better with crab and bee terrifyingly life like. Balloon ride truly edge-of-the-seater.

HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL 1959

Saw the "colorized" version.

The Brides Of Dracula (1960)

One of my favorites!

Classic, wonderful British cast & Christopher Lee's demise - that's what I call a death scene.

It's Lewton.

That is a GREAT film, absolutely one of the best Hammers. Saw this Halloween 1973 and the scene of Chris busting into the library scared me silly! Agree also with the climax...jaw dropping stuff the first time and still decent today.

Got a few in over the weekend...
SON OF DRACULA (1943). Pretty decent flick with a seriously scheming femme fatale in here. Although John Carradine might have made a better Dracua, Lon is decent even if he looks more well fed than undead. ***1/2
THE MUMMY'S HAND (1940). To really enjoy most Universals, you need to suspend logic. Silly, but probably the best Kharis film with action, scares and comedy relief that doesn't grate...almost! ***
THE LEOPARD MAN (1943). One of the lesser Lewtons, but has probably the scariest scene ever in golden age horror. If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about and sadly the film runs out of gas soon after it. ***

'Curse Of The Undead' (1959)
- Michael Pate, Eric Fleming

Plot:
In a small western town, young woman are dying from massive blood loss, the Carter's family ranch is being terrorized by a ruthless land baron, and a mysterious black clad gunslinger with an aversion to sunlight rides into town.

Phantoms Review: I thoroughly enjoy this movie. While it's definitely a "B" movie with a preposterous plot ( a vampire western! ) it's quite well made and handles it's respective genre's with dignity. The script is well written, the acting fine and the cast is made up of several well known western character actors. . Beautiful black and white cinematography and some truly spooky music make this a mostly overlooked little gem.
