Hi everyone! Check out Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff in THE RAVEN from 1935, this Sunday, March 21 on TCM: 6:30pm EST. Great Universal horror film! Mark...
This IS my favorite movie. It has been for many years. The premise, the pacing, the action, the acting, the setting, the theme, all work elegantly together to...
Hi Dean, I'm not a fan of colorization, in a sort of curmudgeonly way, so not really sure if that would in any way enhance my enjoyment of this classic film,...
Before a couple of days ago, I'd never seen this entry in the Universal canon. I've seen Dracula of course, and I've even come across Dracula's Daughter, but...
I have loved Son of Dracula since first seeing it a few years backl. It's a bit off the beaten path for Universal's Dracula story but it's definitely worth the...
Hi Dean, I'm a bit of a late bloomer when it comes to appreciating this 40's version of the Dracula tale, primarily because of how much I love Lugosi, that it...
Your point that Dracula actually is a supporting role in this movie is the key to its unusual feel. It certainly frees up the story to move in different...
Hi there. Just after Son of Dracula debuted Lugosi did his own modern day reworking of the vampire myth with a Columbia picture called Return of the Vampire,...
I've had this one for several years, and at the time I was curious how it fit into the Dracula mythos. It's clearly supposed to be Lugosi as Dracula, but of...
Hi there. I quite like the idea of Dracula having a werewolf sidekick but its appearance is marred by the fact that it looks like a rather cute terrier, it...
I really love this one, too. And yes, clearly it's Lugosi as Dracula, though he couldn't be called that. It's atmospheric and very good...and I love seeing...
Neal Adams is without question one of the most influential comics artists ever. Along with guys like Eisner, Kirby, Kurtzman, and Barks; Adams is one of those...
The pre-opening blitz of advertising is well underway at this moment, and I for one have been waiting for a while to finally see this one. Hugh Jackman has...
I saw it. I liked it. More after some spoilers... S P O I L E R S DON'T READ BELOW THIS LINE UNLESS YOU'VE SEEN HELLBOY! Mike Mignola's original comic was a...
Well Dean, judging by the trailers I've seen, it could go either way. I thought the trailer for the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen made it look like it was...
Your comment about the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is very well taken. I had pretty much the same thought about that flick, outstanding trailers but...
Hi everyone, There are some cool horror and sci fi films showing this coming week on TCM, including a block of Lon Chaney, some poverty row flicks, some Bela...
This might just be my all-time favorite old-time monster comic story. I first ran across it in a reprint (Fantasy Masterpieces #2) when I was just a kid, but...
Thanks again for the advance warning. I just missed "The Unknown" the other morning. Too bad, but I'm sure they'll run it again...or at least I hope so. Dean...
UNTAMED WOMEN (US 1952) b/w; RT: 70 mins Pro Co: Jewell Enterprises Dir: W. Merle Connell; Pro: Richard Kay; Wr: George W. Sayre; Assoc Pro: Harry L....
I'm moving into a new (to me at least) house, and as is always the case a move is a very tiring, a very stressful, and a very curious time. The curious part...
Hi everyone, This past Sunday evening I watched THE LOST WORLD from 1925 on TCM, this was the restored version, apparently it's only shown up as an hour...
This is kind of comic book they just don't make anymore. It's wild, wacky, fun, and filled with outlandish but oddly interesting adventures starring...
Hey everybody! TCM is running a block of some pretty cool films this Sunday night! All times listed are EST. Happy Ghouls! :) 9:00 PM The Mystery Of The...
