The Killer Shrews.

The killer shrews are actually pretty nasty looking, and the leading lady with the speech impediment is hilarious. A fun no-budget creature feature from the 50s.

I'd love to know who made put the false fangs and the wigs on those poor dogs...

I watched this:

Watched the Lugosi Dracula last night...probably my favourite of the Universal classics. Haven't watched it in at least a year...

I love them all, but this one seems to shine above the rest for me.

The Premature Burial (1962)

Very good, but not on par with most of Corman's Poe stuff. Milland was great (as usual), but this stuff is so tailor-made for Price that seeing someone else in a lead role just doesn't seem right.

Plot was a bit weak, too...wasn't much to it.

It was still an awesome movie - you can't beat Roger Corman's atmosphere - but it's probably the weakest by comparison.

Black Sunday / Masque of Satan: An absolutely wonderful horror picture. Though I wasn't sure about the end, or the middle section to be honest. However, the beginning was dazzling, even if it wasn't quite as strong as the opening to the other film I watched tonight, Ghoulies IV. In fact, Black Sunday compared unfavourably next to that film. And I wasn't keen on Barbara Steele, her acting didn't work for me. So, mixed feelings in all, but I'll look out for more of Mr Bava's stuff.

Maniac (1934)

Pure lunacy. Over the top overacting. Insane plot. Nudity. The infamous cat's eyeball scene. This is Ed Wood type craziness- but it was done in 1934 fer godssake!

This is a must see for all lovers of trash cinema.
