The Revenge of Frankenstein- 1958. I just got me a little Frankenstein cup, so I watched it while sipping hot chocolate.

Amazingly, I've never seen Horror Hotel, but it's been on my BUY list for way too long. I'll have to rectify that situation soon.

WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS (1966). Typical Japanese nonsense with giant monsters running amok and raising home insurance rates. Still a lot of fun with a shocking (at least it was when I first saw it) scene involving a dress and who could forget the immortal song "The Words Get Stuck In My Throat"? ***

THE WEREWOLF OF LONDON (1935). One of my very first Universals way back in the summer of 1971 which helped lead on this glorious path. While I still like it, it really hasn't aged all that well for me. Love the Werewolf, but Henry Hull's character is one abrasive cold fish (although as his plight increases, he becomes kinder), awful comedy relief (Una O'Connor could have done the two busy body landlords in her sleep) and poor Valerie Hobson! Probably 18 at the most and in a love triangle with two guys old enough to be her father...and then some~! Despite my quibbles, still have a lot of fondness for the feral werewolf and Henry is pretty good in here. He was one of my very first (maybe the first-?) objects of a fan letter. FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND #98 had an article where you could send Mr Hull a letter or card to cheer him up, as he was 88 at the time and not in the best of health. With all the skillful oratory an 11 year old could muster, I mailed it and got a very nice surprise a month or so later when I received a postcard in the mail from Mr Hull with "Dear Friend, Thank You so Much for Your appreciation , for which I am always grateful" typed out with his signature on the bottom. Truly made my day and sent a few more letters out, but did not hear back-even back than , I figured his health problems prevented this. sad day for me when I read he had passed on in 1977. So despite its flaws, I still give this ***1/2 for the opening of the door and the thrill of being acknowledged by a Monster actor. |

I remember having to wait a long time to see THE WEREWOLF OF LONDON (1935), as it never seemed to be on the TV horror features. When i finally saw it, i was pretty disappointed. Was a long time ago, but i remember two things: the orchid that only blooms in moonlight, and that the film was immediately unmemorable to me. Last edited by Sculpt; 03-01-2016 at 06:19 PM. |

Son of Frankenstein.
Might be my all time favorite sequel, and with Karloff, Lugosi, Atwill and Rathbone in the cast it's really no surprise. |

Hands-down, this is MY favorite sequel! Love Basil Rathbone as Wolf! And that little boy! Adorable!
