RED LIGHTS was recently described to me as an old dark house film on a train. I would love to see it. Does anyone have a copy??

<< Tom, being our resident gorilla suit expert << All I know is what Bob Burns teaches me. (And there are several other CHFBers who know a LOT more than I do about "the gorilla guys.") But I do happen to know that that was Ray Corrigan.

MURDER IN THE PRIVATE CAR is a remake of RED LIGHTS (1923), which also features a gorilla on a train (as well as a mad scientist). We showed it at Capitolfest a few years back. It wasn't memorable.

I have seen MURDER IN THE PRIVATE CAR, and really enjoyed that one!

Tom, being our resident gorilla suit expert, who was that gorilla, anyhow? That scene is a real jaw dropper!!

Any movie with a gorilla crashing out of a fast-moving train and off a trestle is okay in my book.

I just watched TERROR ABOARD again last week. It still works for me and I agree with DrPaul 100% with his take on Halliday. Another Ruggles film with lots of horror bits is MURDER IN THE PRIVATE CAR (MGM 1934). Does any one like that one? It's on TCM ...

Oddly enough, it's that very lack of glee--that icy, almost robotic, demeanor--that makes the film so chilling for me. I think if Halliday had been relishing what he did (or if it WERE Lugosi or Atwill) it all would have felt "safer" someho...

I've gotta go against the wave on this one. I found this film disappointing. I think John Halliday is terrible in this film. He is like a statue. He has no emotions any which way. He may as well be wearing a hockey mask (some have compared this to fut...

Thanks for the other Ruggles credits guys. I looked him up on IMDB and man, he was in a TON of films through the years. I think it's his name that just sounds so familiar to me, as I couldn't pinpoint any one film as being the reason. In any case,...

Ruggles is one of those guys who is in everything. I saw DOUBLE DOOR last year and was impressed. Not really a horror film per se, but an interesting psychological thriller. Wouldn't mind if they ran it on TCM at the very least so I can DVR it. Ther...

Charlie Ruggles also added his `antics` to MURDERS IN THE ZOO!

"If the lead had been played by Lugosi or Atwill, it would be much more appreciated today." That may be true, but it wouldn't be as good a film. Halliday's very "normalcy" is what made the character--and his murders--so chilling, wher...

I think the Fang's TERROR ABOARD is a copy of my VHS, a first-generation tape off a perfect 16mm print. The Fang now sells to distributors only -- he just doesn't have the time any more to deal with people buying one or two items at a time.
