Halloween Day 23: Oh, Those Mischievous Scamps
Posted on 10.22.09 by Widge @ 4:49 am
Evil children

So after looking last year to where we posted the trailers for Village of the Damned and its sequel, I figured...hey, evil children. That will work. Children usually are only bad for society due to their parents...you know, when they drag their two-year-old to the prime time showing of an R-rated movie and then wonder why everybody's pissed at them. That's how it starts, anyway.

But that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about kids using their innocence and who-me looks against us older type people.

So we can go to the apotheosis of all evil kids--you know, that Antichrist youngster...

Halloween Movie Night No. 22: The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires

What madness is this? Hammer Horror combining forces with the Brothers Shaw? On a Dracula movie? With Peter Cushing back as Van Helsing? Mixing fu and horror? Really? Sweet!

That's right, it's Cushing's last turn in a Hammer Dracula film and it's Hammer's last vampire flick. So it must be 1974's The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires. Check it out...

Halloween Day 22: Peter Cushing

Peter Cushing

I consider myself pleased to have stumbled across this: it's A One Way Ticket to Hollywood, a feature-length interview/retrospective concerning the life and career of one of our favorites, Peter Cushing. While the content is, as you might expect, not limited to his horror work (everything from Hamlet to Star Wars is also included)--this is Peter Cushing for crying out loud. So it's definitely within our jurisdiction for 32 Days of Halloween. And it doesn't appear to be in print on DVD...so enjoy it while you can, amigos.

And consider this a little 32 Days present for Rox as well...

Halloween Movie Night No. 21: The Brain From Planet Arous
Posted on 10.20.09 by Widge @ 7:00 pm

The Brain From Planet Arous

Stumbled upon and was reminded of this gem, so we could continue on the sketchy theme of movies of "The X From Y," if you know what I mean. Like last year's They Came From Beyond Space. Or From Hell It Came. Or hell, even Plan 9 From Outer Space. Yeah, you get it.

Hey, we got thirty-two days to fill, folks. You wind up inventing and discarding a lot of themes.

Anyway, revisiting this film all I can think is "Brain creatures...why did it have to be brain creatures?"

Halloween Day 21: Oscar Wilde's Frankenstein
Posted on 10.20.09 by Widge @ 12:41 am

Originally I was trying to find something that would go along with The Fearless Vampire Killers snippet that was posted for last year's Day 21 of 32 Days of Halloween. But then I happened across this incredibly silly short film: Oscar Wilde's Frankenstein. And I had to drop everything and share it. Embroidery has never been so hilariously terrifying in the history of cinema.

Please watch this and then imagine Stephen Fry's reaction. (You can see his take on Dracula here, BTW.)

Direct link for the feedreaders.

Back in 2007, we were enjoying a George C. Scott trailer twofer.
