10.25.09 by Widge @ 9:18 pm  So after looking at the Mario Bava twofer that we opened Day 26 with last year during 32 Days of Halloween, I yanked out another own his films to share with all of you in its entirety: Planet of the Vampires. It's a sci-fi film that screams what it is to the rafters: sci-fi pulp at its pulpiest from 1965. Yes, if you can't figure out this is 60s sci-fi pretty darn quickly then you need some serious remedial sci-fi cinema history. Enjoy. Categorized as: Movies

10.25.09 by Widge @ 8:59 pm  Inspired by last year's Mario Bava trailer twofer, it's time we take a look at some of the delights that Italy has to offer the discerning horror aficionado. Lucio Fulci is here, director of Zombi 2 aka Zombie aka "that movie where a zombie fights a shark." He also directed City of the Living Dead. Here, have a trailer: Categorized as: Movies

10.24.09 by Widge @ 7:00 pm  We've been to 1920's The Golem and the original 1925 Phantom of the Opera--that means Day 25 is silent film horror night! And since we've visited the Peter Lorre remake, Mad Love, we'll go to Conrad Veidt with the original 1924 Hands of Orlac (although it apparently never made it stateside until 1928). And if you were thinking we've seen Veidt before in the original Dr. Caligari, full marks. Categorized as: Movies

10.24.09 by Widge @ 4:52 am  So with the advent of Jaws, you had to have copycats...and here was the biggest one. We see your great white and we raise you a freaking killer whale. Plus, you know, Richard Harris. It's Orca. And I really need to re-watch this, frankly, and see if it's as bleah as I remember. Categorized as: Movies

10.23.09 by Widge @ 11:31 pm  It's sort of a free-form night tonight, as there's no real theme to Day 24's feature length film. So we'll mosey on to 1948, and a noir/thriller about a fake spiritualist (the film is known also as The Spiritualist), a widow and the widow's sister. And hijinks ensue. Categorized as: Movies
