Aug 7 06 4:15 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hmm my grandmother and I are going to try and have a 3 movie marathon (her age makes watching more than 3 movies in a row hard, but since she's the person who got me into monster movies in the first place we always have a Halloween marathon) So if you could only pick THREE Universal monster movies which 3 would you pick????? Different ideas come to mind. There's the old standbye of Dracula Frankenstein The Wolf Man Alternatively you could try for a 30's, 40's and 50's approach The Bride of Frankenstein Son of Dracula Creature from the Black Lagoon Or you could even go for a "lousiest Universal" set of The Invisible Woman The Mummy's Curse She Wolf of London Any ideas? Also keep in mind they have to be avaliable on DVD, she doesn't have cable or a VCR. Also I only have the 6 legacy sets, No Bela or Boris set by then.

Aug 8 06 9:06 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	If I were to watch 3 Unis, right now, my go-tos would be THE BLACK CAT, DRACULA'S DAUGHTER and A&C MEET FRANKENSTEIN. But, for a theme night, I'd go with the Claude Rains collection. THE INVISIBLE MAN, THE WOLF MAN and THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.

Aug 8 06 11:02 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'm thinking about watching/reviewing the entire Frankenstein series, and I guess I'll have to include The Wolfman (1941) too. I'm also planning to scare my girlfriend with a load of scary films on Hallowe'en itself! --- Mondo-Esoterica.net - Cult DVD reviews from Hammer to Spaghetti Westerns.

Aug 8 06 11:14 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'll try to include a lot of Universals in my October must-see TV, but probably not exclusively films from that studio. I like the 30s, 40s and 50s idea, but I'm also considering a "back to the basics" idea and watching the first film from each series- DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN, THE INVISIBLE MAN, THE WOLF MAN, THE MUMMY and CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON. Of course, what USUALLY happens is work and home duties keep me from watching almost any movies that month, but maybe this year will be different. (He said with hopeful anticipation...)

I remember not liking the film as much as I expected to the first time I saw it but couldn't remember why. After seeing it again, I remembered. Not enough Phantom and way too much opera/romantic comedy. Raoul and Anton really grated on my nerves by the end. Rains was great as usual, but he didn't get a big enough role IMO. Once he takes Christine into his subterranean lair up to the end where Christine is rescued is terrific though. Rains displays the psychotic obsession of the Phantom extremely well.

Claude Rains is the stand out, handling his role brilliantly and symnpathetically. I also get a kick out of Edward Ward's "Lullaby of the Bells." "Hideous Half-Man, Half-Beast Who Terrorized Millions!" - Tagline, WEREWOLF OF LONDON (1935)

Aug 9 06 2:55 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Anyway, as for my October movie plan, I think I'll do a countdown of my ten favourite horrors in the run up to the 31st. Not in order, but - 1. HOUSE OF USHER 2. THE RAVEN 3. DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE 4. DRACULA'S DAUGHTER 5. THE INVISIBLE MAN 6. THE BLACK CAT 7. THE WOLF MAN 8. SON OF FRANKENSTEIN 9. BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN 10. THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN Crikey. That is Uni-centric. Might have to expand to twenty, or even 31. 11. FRANKENSTEIN CREATED WOMAN 12. THE PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES 13. SON OF DRACULA 14. PHANTOM OF THE OPERA 15. DRACULA 16. FRANKENSTEIN 17. PIT AND THE PENDULUM 18. NOSFERATU 19. FRANKENSTEIN MUST BE DESTROYED 20. WHITE ZOMBIE On the other hand, maybe I'll stick with a 1930's horror motif. So many films, so little time... "Hideous Half-Man, Half-Beast Who Terrorized Millions!" - Tagline, WEREWOLF OF LONDON (1935)

Aug 9 06 3:06 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I plan to watch a good mix of Universals, Hammers, and Warner/MGM horrors throughout the month. I will watch what is on TCM, and if they don't show something I like, I will turn to my DVD collection.

Aug 30 06 1:03 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I've actually been planning to watch in order the combination of Friday/Saturday night "Screaming Yellow Theater" and "Creature Feature" movies that were shown in Chicago starting in mid-September 1970. I have the lists and already have many of the movies. Others I have on my Netflix wish list or have already picked up a few on eBay. If I want to go specifically on the dates shown, I'll be watching on Mondays and Tuesdays. My wife has already suggested that I've gone completely off the deep end with this, but oh well. Anyway, "Creature Features" went straight for the "throat" with the Universal movies, if you know what I mean. Yeah, WGN showed Dracula on the very first CF, along with She-Wolf of London. All through October of that year they went with exclusively Universal offerings, so that'll probably be the bulk of my watching as Halloween nears. Aside from those, I also plan on checking out the Lugosi/Karloff films that I have, but for some inexplicable reason haven't watched. It's funny how when you acquire stuff, the urgency to actually watch goes away as opposed to the days when it used to be on at one specific time and if you missed it, tough luck for you.

I'll also try to work Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein Arsenic and Old Lace Frankenstein '31 Mad Monster Party Castle of Blood and The Haunted Palace in there somewhere.
