The original can't be beat for my tastes. I've only seen the English version, but even with all its creaky scenes it is the only one which is remotely scary....
I saw Vampyr once I think. I found it on a cheap video and sadly the copy was messed up. I was able to get one viewing (sort of) before I took it back to the...
I caught this TV adaptation of King's novel last week. Despite the fact is starred David Soul, I found it to be oddly effective. Like many of King's novels...

I remember seeing the original Salem's Lot many, many years ago while in high school. There are still scenes and moments that stand out. That kids that floats...

I can live with that. The American Godzilla isn't really part of the canon, and I can see why G-fans would be hostile to it. For my part, I thought they did a...
One of the Godzilla films I most enjoyed at a drive-in theater was 'King Kong vs Godzilla'. That was about the same time I discovered beer, or discovered that...
King Kong versus Godzilla was likely the first Big G movie I ever saw. WSAZ out of Huntington, West Virginia ran all-night monster flicks on Halloween and that...

This giant comic was my first introduction to the Mighty Kong. It would be years before I saw the movie, and even longer before I stumbled across the...
That's great news. I would love to see a remake of this childhood favorite. By the way, I agree with your critique of the film. The Kong suit is pathetic, but...
He might just be about my favorite actor. His wonderful portrayal in "The Thing" sets the perfect note for what just might be the nearest perfect monster movie...

Very sad news, indeed. He was a great actor. He appeared to be very at home and comfortable on screen. Not many guys can play opposite monsters without...
I finally rented this dubbed French import, which someone attempted to market to the same audience that loved 'Hidden Dragon, Crouching Tiger' a year or two...
I well remember this when it came out, but it disappeared long before I got a chance to see it. It did seem to be a far more complex film than the advertising...
When I think back on it, I didn't see the original 'King Kong' until late in 1970. 'Konga' and 'King Kong vs Godzilla' would have been as close as I came prior...
I have never noticed King Kong ever showing all that much on TV. I saw it somewhere I know, but it wasn't until I got ahold of a cheap video copy that I was...
I never saw the original KING KONG until the DeLaurentis version came out in the winter of '76. Immediately after that, a few stations in my area started...
I never thought about it, but likely I too saw the remake before I was ever able to see the original. I remember going to the theatre to see it. The effects...

The difference is likely Jack Kirby. Atlas had him and during this time no one else did (maybe DC just a little). Kirby's particular talent for wild visual...
