I pretty much agree with ya Dean. It IS a good movie. And it IS too long. Much too long. The worst part of this is that, as I understand it, each segment of ...
I LOVED this movie!!! I didn't really know all that much about it when I went to see it, and was really surprised at how cool and fun it was. It's sort of a...
This is apparently the direct sequel to Bela Lugosi's orginal Dracula film. I have never seen it, but the other day I was able to procur a copy for a few ...
I suspect the main reason these creatures are rarely shown getting out of their coffins is simply because it's probably not very scary to see someone trying to...
See:<br> Johann Petursson height 7 ft. 8 inches<br> Max Palmer 7 ft. 8 inches<br> Lock Martin 7 ft.7 inches<br> Eddie Carmel 7 ft. 6 inches<br>(their actual as...
I think part of the answer to your question is that in the 1930s and 40s, audiences were more easily shocked by stuff we take for granted. We hardly give a ...
Ohne of the scenes I thought was great in Nosferatu was when the vampire rises from the coffin; they merely put a board under him to shoot the scene, and ...
I imagine you are right. Getting out of a coffin and looking good would likely be tough to do. When they hoist old Max Shreck out of the box in Nosferatu it...
The great 80's vampire film 'FRIGHT NIGHT' had a nice tip of the hat to 'Nosferatu' when the just-staked Jerry Dandridge rises from his coffin, pardon the pun,...
I know the scene you mean in 'Fright Night' and I thought it was a nice homage moment. Good effect, as well.<br><br>I hadn't thought about 'Fright Night' in...
Fright Night is a very nice, creepy movie. Chris Sarandon (I think I have the name right) does a knockout job as an ironic, urbane, and totally ruthless ...
I think FRIGHT NIGHT is just about one of my all-time favorite horror movies. Even though there's an abundance of wry humor throughout the film, like Dean...
I'd like to be the first to welcome Goblin Bones to the club; obviously, with his username, he must be into the spirit of the sort of films we usually discuss...
It's always nice to have a new member join, and I'd like to welcome you to the club. Sometimes this is a fairly active club, and sometimes it's slow. If you...
Jinzo,<br><br>Where the heck did you find the scan that you're using for the current club picture? Sometimes I think I know that film, and at others (like now)...
Finally got to see this reinterpretation of the making of the original Dracula movie, F.W.Murnau's "Nosferatu". The premise (if perchance you may not know) is ...
I think that's "The Monster of Piedras Blancas" a 1959 movie that attempted to catch a little of the Black Lagoon's deserved glory. I've never seen the movie...
Dean-<br>Give yourself a "No Prize!" That IS a cool publicity still from Filmservice's 1959 flick "The Monster of Piedras Blancas." It's a pretty decent little...
I have seen seen 'The Monster of Piedras Blancas'. I caught it sometime in the early sixties on a double bill in a theater that was only open when the drive-in...
I haven't seen 'Shadow of the Vampire' yet, but it is one of the things I would like to rent if/when we get a new video player. Naturally, the arguement now is...
William Castle's '13 Ghosts' is on AMC right now (actually one of their commercial breaks/self promotion ads is on right at this moment), and I don't think...
I've never seen this one. I have heard of that notorious promotion I think, or one very like it. I can't say that I've ever seen a Castle film (and realized it...
Dean,<br><br>You may have been a bit too young to have seen a Castle film in a theater. I'll probably miss one or two but here are the William Castle films I...
What I remember was actually being scared in some of those Castle films! Of course--I was about 7-10 yrs old then, but still...! Actually, the one that got me...
How come everyone forgets to mention ROSEMARY'S BABY, in which he produced? He was originally going to direct it, but felt he wouldn't do it any justice, ...
Good points, Eddie. It is easy to forget the other films that Castle was involved in that didn't have the high profile publicity gimmicks. I should have...
In an age saturized by 'best bit' trailers and publicity overkill, Castle's techniques seem somewhat tame, but at least the difference was he was a unique ...
'The Tingler' is a preposterous little story, but it's done in good fun and Vincent Price obviously had a good time making it. The film also had the very ...
I have read about BUG, but have never seen it. Is it on legit video somewhere? I only recently saw THE TINGLER on A&E. A pretty neat little movie. It is ...
Thus far, I have not been impressed by the few "remake" films I have seen, which off-hand might only consist of 'The Haunting', 'Lost in Space' and 'House on ...
