A Date Which Will Live In Infamy

On this Date, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Shortly afterwards, all kinds of Anti-Japanese films hit the screens. Here is a poster to one of these 20 min. "Beware" films.

Babes in Toyland (1934)

If there was ever a film that should have been made in color, it is this one! This colorful lobby card hints at the Technicolor joys the film could have beheld for our eyes.
This all time X-mas Classic, looks great in either it's original black and white (MGM Home Video) or one of the two colorized versions that have been released.

Happy Horrordays!

Growing up, I was the 4th in a series of 4 kids that felt that maybe, my Parents would have been happy with 3 kids.
It wasn't unusual that I discovered the wondrous world of the Universal Monsters. With Famous Monsters of Film land as my guide, I scoured the T.V. Guide looking for these Terror-ific Treats.
So from the vast treasure trove of cinematic joys that was my childhood, I present my childhood buddies as a X-mas treat.

RARE Bride of Frank. still

Until this surfaced recently, I had never seen it. Great atmosphere as the grave robbers go about their task as the Monster looks on.

House of Boris-stein

Karloff would not go thru the agony of the Frankenstein make-up again, but he did play a Mad (Is their any other kind?!) Scientist who is about to raise Dracula (Carradine but should have been Lugosi) from the dead. Here is a fun lobby card from this 1944 fright fest.

Boris makes Wong, Right

Boris Karloff as an Oriental Detective? Yes. When the 20th Century Fox Charlie Chan movies proved successful, what else could Monogram do then release a series of copy cats. They needed a "name" star for their series. In stepped Boris. Here is a rare lobby to put your eyeballs on.

Bride of Frankenstein - The Hermit

Another rare photo from my Favorite Karloff Film. Here Boris meets the Blind Hermit, the Monster's only real friend in the film.
The scene was played for laughs in Mel Brooks homage, Young Frankenstein (1974).
