"Son Of Kong" (1933)

Like most sequels, this film can not possibly live up to the classic original. To much humor, not enough monsters.

"The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms"

One of the great 1950's monster movies. Good story and great FX.

Love,love, love this. My favourite Christie book too. This is the best version of the book because the ending is less altered than the Oliver Reed version. Although both were altered in the screen play x

Pit and the Pendulum (1961).A true classic, this was more of a collaboration of other Poe themes into one film. The story was simply wonderful. The atmosphere and lavish sets belie any indication that this was a lower budget affair. In fact, those costumes were rich and elegant beyond words. And speaking of elegant, Barbara Steele played an incredible, if too brief, role in this undertaking. Of course it was Vincent Price that plays the main role, and he plays it with customary aplomb. John Kerr gets some rather nasty reviews for his role. His woody dialog is almost too much to bear. Otherwise his acting skill were decent enough. Roger Corman's direction was simply awesome, using in full the sets and colors to best effect. The one technicality might be the rather rugged editing here and there, but no matter, this was still a wicked good time. Ashe.

13 Ghosts

I bought this used at the Disc Replay for five dollars. No ghost viewer. Luckily I had some 3d glasses lying around. A barrel of fun. Highly recommended for Halloween parties.

Horror of Party Beach
Oddly grisly, hilariously awkward. Depending on your mood it can be an irritating waste of time or a camp revelation.

Freaks
Strangely hypnotic and grotesquely entertaining. Just felt a little guilty- like a voyeur at a Victorian sideshow.

If you look at Todd Browning's oeuvre and his carnival background and put things into perspective, Freaks doesn't merit guilt. The subjects of the movie are for the most part shown in a warm, loving positive manner.

Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein, this afternoon with my 5 yr. old daughter. She loved it! If you dont think this is horror keep in mind Lon Chaney Jr. and Bela Lugosi...
