I just watched this one too. Even though they were dogs with rat tails pinned on their asses, I used my imagination and loved every minute of the film.

Its been ages since I've seen that film but I don't remember 'a trip to Stonehenge' was this restored in the version you watched.

But you're 100% correct - the film is a master piece. I really must buy it on DVD. It one of the few times where a film is better than the source material (though I love the James story too).

I know Tourneur really didn't want the demon seen but I actually liked it and its design. The still of the demons face has really become a horror icon.
The version I watched was 85 minutes long. No trip to Stonehenge and no trip to the farm.
I like the demon as they show it from afar- all firey and smoking... but I have to admit the close-up is a bit cheesey. I'd love to see it as Tournier wanted it. Like The Haunting, the imagination could do wonders.

"Dracula's Daughter" (1936)
-Gloria Holden

Plot: IMDB
Prof. Van Helsing is in danger of prosecution for the murder of Dracula...until a hypnotic woman steals the Count's body and cremates it. Bloodless corpses start appearing in London again, and Hungarian countess Marya Zaleska seeks the aid of Jeffrey Garth, psychiatrist, in freeing herself of a mysterious evil influence.

Phantom's Review: Lambert Hillyer's atmospheric sequel to 1931's "Dracula".

"Pursuit To Algiers" (1945)
-Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce

Phantom's Review: Decent entry in the Rathbone Universal Series. Good story and acting. Nothing great, but fun to watch.

"War Of The Colossal Beast" (1958)
Plot: IMDB
Glenn Manning, "The Amazing Colossal Man," believed dead after falling from the Hoover Dam, reemerges in rural Mexico, brain damaged, disfigured, and very hungry.

Phantom's Review: Sequel to the classic(?) "The Amazing Colossal Man". Cheesy, silly and lots of fun. Perfect for a bad movie night.

This is the film that got me into horror movies, so I have a soft spot for it. That horrible face was thew scariest thing I had ever seen!

The Story of Mankind

Not actually a horror movie- it's a light-hearted allegorical fantasy in which The Spirit of Mankind (Ronald Coleman in his last film) and Mr. Scratch argue the fate of humankind in a celestial courtroom.

Vincent Price plays the debonair devil, Mr. Scratch, trying to prove mankind is ultimately evil, and he is in typically fine form. It's a perfect role for him.

Other members of the cast- John Carradine as an Egyptian pharoh, Harpo Marx as Isaac Newton, Peter Lorre as Nero, Groucho Marx as a Pilgrim, Heddy Lamar as Joan of Arc, Agnes Moorhead as Queen Elisabeth and Dennis Hopper as Napoleon.

Not really a great movie, but fun to watch for all the star cameos.

Directed by Irwin Allen.

What a cast! I'll definitely love to give it a watch soon. :)
