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 ...
Based on what I've seen, the new Rollerball exemplifies the ideas that the original preached against. The society envisioned in the first one seems to be upon...
I may be missing a movie or two, but except for THE THING (1981) and THE BLOB (1988), I have yet to see a remake that even comes close to it's predecessor....
I would add the late 70's remake of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" to the list of decent remakes. That movie keeps the tone of the original with fresh takes...
In case anybody is interested, I recently saw the original 13 Ghosts for sale on dvd and it came with ghost viewers. I haven't purchased it yet so I don't...
Trash,<br><br>To the best of my recollection, the "ghost viewers" didn't do a damned thing. Maybe the DVD has been doctored so it actually works in conjucntion...
I Saw What You Did was a great gimmick film--based on the idea that teenagers call people at random and say that line, until they call a guy who just committed...
I agree with almost all o' that, Jon. The only good reason to remake a movie, I think, is to take advantage of the new technology for special fx, but even then...
I liked the previews of this slick modern retelling, but I heard bad things about it. So it was only this week that I finally got around to seeing it. I have...
If I'm correct the current club pic is from this old sci-fi flick. I first got a glimpse of this creature in an old Famous Monsters magazine, but I've never...
I see that some of my other Yahoo!Clubs have transformed into Groups now. I suppose it's only a matter of time before we feel the change. Hope everyone will ...
Jinzo,<br><br>Yes, I'm familiar with the differences. I started a closed group when I learned the change was non-elective, so I could learn how to use the ...
It's been years since I've seen the movie..well, maybe 4 years or so; and I can't recall all the details as discussed in an issue of Filmfax. But here's my ...
The film's star, Robert Clarke, was a B-film actor who decided he could do a monster movie as well as the Hollywood big boys. He couldn't, of course, but his...
I caught this one last weekend on one of the movie channels (AMC or TMC) and it was a real treat. I've not seen this one for many, many years and consequently...
I just bought that tape used maybe a month ago and saw it for the first time! (Most of my horror movie watching was on TV back in the 60s and early 70s, and...
Some clubs have lost their entire photos section during the conversion to groups; I'm relieved to see ours made the transfer safely. Oddly enough, I see we...
Glad to see everyone here on the other side. The great transition has been long in coming and frankly I am very relieved to see it finally take hold. Dean...
I was watching some tube this weekend and chanced upon some Mystery Science Theatre. Now I've never really been a big fan of this one- joke show, but I will...
Does anyone have a list in mind of films that have appearances by "real" people like the Ackerman appearance you mentioned? I can only think of one, right...
Joe Bob Briggs, a.k.a. John Bloom, has turned up in 'The Stand' and in one of the Texas Chainsaw films, but perhaps we should count Briggs/Bloom as an actor,...
I added this hoary old item to my collection the other day. I was actually seeking out a copy of Ghost of Frankenstein and chanced on this one instead. This is...
Don, I'm also of the opinion that 'House of Frankenstein' is just an amusing curiosity. Granted it has its moments, but I think its episodic nature works...
Ha! I can't let THIS one go by--"the less said the better" about A&C Meet Frankenstein. That's one of my favoite films and I could probably go on at length...
