I love this film. Its stark settings are magnificently eerie, but I think Omega Man is a fine film as well.

There is something utterly charming in the Toho giant-monster films of the 60s which makes you feel good when you are bed-ridden with some sickness. Great for afternoons when the meds kick in and don't let you sleep. Love 'em both.

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling any better!

I saw Frankenstein vs. Baragon in the theatre when I was a kid. I think it was called Frankenstein Conquers the World back then. Such a weird, bizarre little movie!

Last Man on Earth is a cool film. The blood that cures, killed in the temple, pierced with a spear, "they were afraid of me". I liked Omegaman and I am legend as well.

Frankenstein Conquers the World is a bizarre film. Maybe pleasant stuck sick in bed, but as an adult I thought War of the Gargantuas was dreadful.

I still like Nosferatu, of course, and The Vampire Lovers from Hammer films. Still among the best, I'd say.

But has anyone seen Jean Rollin's weird vampire films, starting with Le Viol du Vampire? Those are classics I've got to see.

But you can't forget the memorable song "The words get stuck in My Throat"! was cheering when the green gargantua shows his critique of her singing!



FREAKS (1932). A film truly ahead of its time and felt like I had been poleaxed the first time I saw it, especially the still creepy ending where the freaks exact vengeance. Good special features and David Skal commentary. ****

How about that... I see the song, "The Words Get Caught in My Throat" was composed by Toho film composer Akira Ifukube.

Someone must have lampooned the song to "the clothes get caught in my throat", as the green Gargantua eats people and spits out the clothes...

I must say, when I saw it as a child, I was fascinated and moved by it. There are some films where "you can't go back", and for the most part, this was one of many I couldn't recapture.

I MARRIED A WITCH (1942). A little forced in places, but decent supernatural comedy that obviously was the model for TV's BEWITCHED. Special effects are okay and good turns by the always funny Cecil Kellaway and lovely Veronica Lake. If not your cup of tea, barely 75 minutes, so goes pretty quick. ***

THE MUMMY (1932). Boris Karloff is great in here as usual, but film becomes glacial after an absolute corker of an opener. Still must admit that the sets are very good and you have to respect the poor guys devotion. ***1/2
