Halloween Is Coming!

And what better way to celebrate that night of ghouls and goblins, then by posting a terrific photo of Lon Chaney and Mary Philbin from PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (1925)

What is a Gabby Person to do?

Here your typical Joe, Is listening a little too closely to ToJo and Adolph. I hope that he doesn't get us to fight amongst ourselves. A really neat Propaganda Warning Poster from WW2 to You.

Return of the Ape Man and John Carradine

Return of the APE MAN (1944) Produced by Monogram. While on an Arctic expedition, two scientists (Bela Lugosi & John Carradine) find the frozen body of a prehistoric Caveman. They bring him home to their laboratory. Once in the lab, the Caveman-sicle encased in Ice, is thawed out by Bela with a blow torch and a heat lamp!. Once reanimated, he is placed in a cage. The gruesome twosome decide that in order to fully utilize (and control) him, they must transplant a more developed brain into the caveman. WOW! How entertaining can a bad/good movie be?! Almost as good as this restored poster.

3-D Causes a Xenomorph to Appear!

Always an enjoyable little sci-fi gem. Richard Carlson and gorgeous Barbara Rush see something crash in the lonely desert. Suddenly, things start happening. Story by Ray Bradbury.

Beware the Black Stare!

Cashing in on the horror craze of the 70s, comes Blacula (1972)!- Dracula's Soul Brother! Or so the poster hype says.
William Marshall who 5 years before, played the Computer Genius Dr. Daystrom on Star Trek, stepped into the shoes of filmdom's most famous Vampire. He did such a great campy acting job, he returned in SCREAM, BLACULA SCREAM! In that opus, his favorite victim was Pam Grier (Can you blame him?!). Here is the half sheet.

The Black Cat, Again

Here is an example of a movie with the same name as it's much better predecessor. All classic horror fans know the Bela Lugosi & Boris Karloff great, The Black Cat 1934. But did you know that a Horror/Kind of Comedy with the same title and from the same studio, came years later in 1941? The only thing they had in common was that Bela Lugosi was in both in very different roles.
