The Psycho Ward

Do you count the sequels to Halloween?

feeds@yuku.com (ClaytonVanMarch) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 03:09:04 GMT

Or is just the original 1978 picture good enough?

I personally really like, even love, some of the sequels. But they weren't needed.

Seth Holt's NOWHERE TO GO (1958) on TCM

feeds@yuku.com (Richard) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:07:33 GMT

Did anyone catch this British noir from Ealing Studios last night?
With so few films available by this first-rate editor and director, I should think it would be a priority.
I got the air times mixed up and recorded the wrong program.
So how was it?
Anyone care to share their impression?

I SAW WHAT YOU DID

I SAW WHAT YOU DID (1965, d. William Castle)

TCM's "Underground" offered up a dandy William Castle double-feature in the pre-dawn hours this morning, HOMICIDAL and I SAW WHAT YOU DID. HOMICIDAL shows up on TCM every once in a while and is available on DVD, but the latter's been out-of-print for a while, so it was a rare treat. It's a simple formula:...

Ol' Blue Eyes, the Psycho Assassin

I recorded Suddenly this early AM off of TCM and just finished watching it. It was a little ragged and could have been thought out better (hey, Frank, suppose the prez got off the train on the other side?), but still it was a good small-budget thriller that moved pretty quick.
Any opinions?

Oh, and Paul Frees plays two characters in the movie ...

Psychopath (Amicus)

Hi Everyone,

Any word on the "Psychopath" from Amicus?

Has there or will there be a DVD release? Seems to have been ignored by many dvd releasing companies.

Here's one for the Psycho Ward: Imagine BIRDMAN OF ALCATRAZ as directed by Roger Corman and written by Lord Buckley, with a last minute polish by the writing staff of MAD magazine and you will have some inkling of what to expect from CONVICTS FOUR, one singular, funky and altogether strange stretch in the pokey.

The Story of Temple Drake (1933)

feeds@yuku.com (Dr Acula) — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 08:37:59 GMT

It's been a while since I've seen this one, but I recall it being a pretty taunt thriller with a good courtroom climax, and a near unending feeling of dread throughout the whole film.

I just saw this claim at Amazon of all places and was curious to know if it's true or not:

And the behind the scenes drama was also intense; master director Fritz Lang started the film, but quit in a snit, and was replaced by the journeyman Archie Mayo. Surrealist Salvador Dali was hired to create a hallucinatory alcoholic dream sequence,...

I've always had a soft spot for the circus -- the reel circus, that is -- especially when the center ring is occupied by a homicidal maniac. While a live daredevil performance elicits its share of oohs and ahhs, films like RING OF FEAR and CIRCUS OF HORRORS offer more gasps for the gelt, providing death-defying feats along with death-dealing crackpots. Sawdust and sadism: that's entertainment, baby.

White Heat was on TCM the other night, and it isn't a monster kid flick in any way, but we're talking psychos here.
Any love?

. and if there's already a topic on this, I'll be dipped if I could find it.

"The Vanishing", Dutch Version ...

feeds@yuku.com (Saturday8pm) — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 23:09:29 GMT

... is this a CREEP FEST or what?!?
To see the Hollywood version is a complete injustice
to this great film. WHY they redid it with the alternate
ending is one of the true crimes of recent filmmaking
history, and there's been many committed.

The Birds query

feeds@yuku.com (wonderwall) — Tue, 26 May 2009 03:11:36 GMT

I've watched this SUPERB Hitchcock masterpiece hundreds of times over.......but why did the birds ever attack in the first place and why did they leave Rod Taylor and his partner leave the house untouched in the end??! All comments welcome

WANTED FOR MURDER (Hitchcock connection)

feeds@yuku.com (davlghry) — Fri, 08 May 2009 18:28:15 GMT

This British entry from 1946 features Eric Portman as a charming strangler of women who believes he's driven by his dead father who was a hangman. Like Norman Bates, Portman also has an overly protective mother. The other similarity to Hitchcock is the film's climax which takes place at an amusement park. Portman takes his to-be victim out in a rowboat to an island where couples go to make out. Sound familiar? You could almost imagine Portman bumping into Bruno Anthony out there...

What is the scariest one you've ever seen?

Hi guys!

I have never really watched any mental movies before. I would love to give Psychopath movies a try, and I would love a good impression!

Personally speaking, what is the scariest one you've ever seen?

I bet there are hundreds, but what do you find the most terrifying?

Apart from 'Psycho'. Hehe!

I just want to try something new, so this...
