This has the most bizarre description. I've never seen it. So what'd you think? Did you go outside in lay in the street after seeing it? ::big grin::
Indeed, I did go out und lay in the street after viewing this one. I'm compelled to do so upon every viewing of this masterpiece.

Attack of the Puppet People (1958)

Secretary Sally Reynolds (June Kenny) is grateful to her seemingly kind boss, Mr. Franz (John Hoyt), when he introduces her to a dapper young man, Bob (John Agar). Little does she know that Franz is more than a doll maker. It's the sh*t.

SHERLOCK HO:MES AND THE VOICE OF TERROR (1942). After two impressively lavish films from 20th Century Fox, Holmes and Watson found themselves at cost cutting Universal, which for some reason decided to move Holmes into the present and battle against Nazis and enemy agents::confused::! This one is very heavy handed on propaganda and You'll be mystified at Basil Rathbone's hair style here. Basil and Nigel Bruce are still enjoyable and after a "Rah-Rah" speech, Evelyn Ankers gives a decent turn of woman determined to right wrongs by whatever means possible. Only one directed by John Rawlins (the rest were helmed by Roy William Neill, who also did FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN), some of the lighting in close ups is well done. **

Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are my favorite Holmes and Watson!

I love them as well. I have enjoyed other team-ups, like Peter Cushing-Andre Morrell (THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES-1959_ and Christopher Plummer-James Mason (MURDER BY DECREE-1979). But mention Holmes/Watson, Basil/Nigel pop into my mind first.

While We're on the subject.....

SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE SECRET WEAPON (1942). Second WW2 focus involves Holmes rescuing an inventor of a weapon which will help turn the tide. For such a "brilliant" man, "Dr Tobell" is truly the dipshit for not listening to instructions meant to safeguard him, meaning more rescues by Holmes. It amuses Me how hardly anyone in these films doesn't recognize Holmes while He is in disguise... Basil DID have distinctive features.
A few quibbles, Yes, but decent atmosphere and a very good turn by Lionel Atwill as Prof Moriarty...truly sinister and the conversation between Lionel and Basil is high entertainment. ***

Two psychical researchers send a prostitute back in time under hypnosis, where she finds herself in medieval times waiting to be beheaded as a witch. I hate every moment of this turd. Still, I can't look away.

I actually enjoyed this more than I thought I would and found it better than most Corman films of that time. Cool seeing Dick Miller and Bruno VeSota (ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES). Also, Alison Hayes::love:: is drop dead gorgeous as the evil Witch and quite malevolent as well. ***

Do Yourself a favor, Sculpt...check this out pronto. Very enjoyable and Bela is fantastic although He gets a little carried away in parts.

I checked out The Raven (1935)...

I've never seen The Raven, probably cause I tend to get it mixed up with The Black Cat (1934). It was alright. Lugosi does a great job delivering the lines of an arrogant mad scientist. Karloff not so much. Karloff starts out fine as a fugitive, but after Lugosi changes his face Boris starts acting like he's mentally disabled and slows everything way down, which didn't make any sense.

The ending is a bit clunky in execution, no pun intended. There's lots of wide shots and just not at all very dynamic in regards to suspense or horror.
