Early British TV

feeds@yuku.com (PhantomXCI) — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 06:20:47 GMT

While perusing the IMDb, I turned up a few early BBC television productions which sound like they were probably very interesting.
LOVE FROM A STRANGER (1938), GASLIGHT (1947), R.U.R. (1948), THE TIME MACHINE (1949), SPRING-HEELED JACK (1950, with Tod Slaughter), THE CREATURE (1955, with Peter Cushing), and THE MAN WHO COULD CHEAT DEATH (1958, with Anton Diffring).
Aside from the 3 QUATERMASS serials and TALES OF FRANKENSTEIN, there doesn't appear to be much surviving from...

El Ojo de la Medusa

feeds@yuku.com (lagunasunrise) — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 04:43:31 GMT

Days ago a man wrote to us asking for a short film where Naschy was . The man was supposed to be a cameraman or something like that, you know I don't remeber right now. He didn't even remember the name of the film. After days of researching he found out that the name of that film was El Ojo de la Medusa and it was a kind of practice for a cinema school. He is now asking where to find the film. Do you have any idea of this? have you heard before? I know the film is listed at...

HERCULES AND THE CONQUEST OF ATLANTIS (1961)

feeds@yuku.com (Latarnia) — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 04:25:01 GMT

Otherwise known as HERCULES AND THE CAPTIVE WOMEN and in the original Italian, ERCOLE ALLA CONQUISTA DI ATLANTIDE. We already have a brief thread on the Retromedia release, but I wanted to also concentrate on the film itself.

For starters, this film has gorgeous, stunning set design, and exceptional placement of figures within the scope frame:

Onibaba, KS (?!???)

feeds@yuku.com (Studio Z) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:56:16 GMT

Well, SOMEbody' se vidently seen ONIBABA . Got up on my birthday and headed out the door. Two tattoo shops have opened upabout 2 blocks from the house, on the highway. Usually I"ve got no particular use for these, but one has a slight edge going for it.

I couldn't help but notice this 14' mural on the outside wall of one of the shops, which moved into a closed Taco Tico franschise:

Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (Poster)

feeds@yuku.com (Cushing) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 02:36:14 GMT

I found this interesting looking poster at www.moviegoods.com and was fascinated by two things: the look of the Wolf Man and the lady in the gown with blood on her shoulder. The Wolf Man looks like a Naschy lycanthrope. The lady is nowhere close to the images of Illona Massey on the American posters. Looks like whoever drew this had to throw in some extra eroticism. Anyone know if this was for a re-release or the original play?...

Invasion de los Vampiros

La Loba

my monday viewing

feeds@yuku.com (Howling Beast) — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:11:36 GMT

I got an opportunity on Monday to watch a bunch of movies I've had laying around, so it turned it into a Mexican film fest (and almost a Hugo Stiglitz film fest). I watched WORLD OF THE VAMPIRES, CEMENTARIO DEL TERROR, LADRONES DE TUMBAS, MUNECOS INFERNALES, and NIGHT OF A 1000 CATS. I didn't quite get to finish MUNECOS INFERNALES, but I will get to it on another night. Each of these movies were quite entertaining. WORLD OF THE VAMPIRES was the only one I didn't have an actual...

Mercedes Molina

feeds@yuku.com (HombreLobo44) — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 16:27:03 GMT

I was distraught to discover that Naschy actress Grace Mills a.k.a. Mercedes Molina has basically only appeared in 2 films and then vanished. Like my beloved Azucena Hernadez who also appeared in 2 Naschy films, I thought perhaps Grace maybe had moved on to other genres and was seeking out more films of her's through IMDB. So what happened? Her first role was in Exorcismo followed by La maldecion de la Bestia. Then nothing of note. She sure was a beauty and not bad as an actress either....

sexo sangriento

feeds@yuku.com (HombreLobo44) — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 15:38:25 GMT

I am pretty pumped to see this one that is up over at cinemageddon. Sexo Sangriento, an 80's genre flick which features one of my fave Naschy babes, Mirta Miller! The screencaps look very murky and it is a vhs rip, but I have never even heard of this one. I'll keep you posted. Oh and the chicks are suppose to be lesbians! Yeeaaahhh!

I'll keep you posted!...

A little something I want to share with Paul Naschy fans from CDGL

I was helping myself to some off the wall Lina Romay / Jess Franco stuff and I came across this in the comment section for Lillian: The Perverted Virgin. Couldn't believe the audacity of this dickweed! Yeah I am over 40 and yeah I think I should still be able to enjoy a good sleaze epic in the privacy of my own darken dwelling. Why must a-holes like this twit be allowed to breathe? Funny how none of the titles he mentioned as "classics" would actually be considered classics. The...

Dracula- Browning or Melford?

feeds@yuku.com (Cushing) — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 04:27:31 GMT

Ok, this was mentioned in another thread so let's see how many prefer one against the other. Although the Browning version has Lugosi and Frye, I enjoy the atmosphere of the Spanish version. The zoom up to Dracula on the staircase, the fog with him appearing from his coffin, the zombie vampire wives, and just the overall feel make this a more enjoyable viewing for me than the Lugosi film.

BURIED ALIVE (1989)

feeds@yuku.com (ECC) — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 01:47:47 GMT

At the Ravenscroft Hall institute for either mentally disturbed young women (either that or they're delinquents), a young woman decides to make a run for it. She's given a blue switchblade by mate Fingers (Nia Long, in a performance probably long erased from her resume). The girl makes it to the highway before being grabbed by a man in a Ronald Reagan mask and thrown down a long trap door (obviously a matte effect), wrestled into a straight jacket and walled up alive. The next day,...

Tentacles---Too much matted out

feeds@yuku.com (Kolchak) — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 08:49:03 GMT

I recently watched Tentacles and I noticed that the picture looked matted out. Of course, the last time I saw this film was when I was a boy. But still, I get the impression MGM went a bit overboard. Have any of you noticed the same thing or is this normal for Tentacles?
