10.18.08 by Widge @ 4:26 am Lon Chaney Sr. was an amazing actor, not just because he could transform himself using really crazy makeup techniques for the age but because he could deliver a stunning performance underneath all of that stuff. We've posted his Hunchback and Phantom. But he had a freaking huge filmography. Here's some snippets I was able to find online, just to broaden your Chaney Sr. horizons: First, here's The Miracle Man from 1919...or what's left of it. This is apparently all the extant footage. Chaney here plays a contortionist who's also a con man and thus poses as a cripple to be "healed" by a village healer. Of course things go a bit awry. Categorized as: Movies

10.17.08 by Widge @ 8:31 pm So it's Friday and it's been a long week. I think it's time for something along the lines of Billy the Kid vs. Dracula! John Carradine is Dracula, Chuck Courtney is Billy the Kid. Fight! Direct link for the feedreaders. Last year was the awfully bad Revolt of the Zombies! Categorized as: Movies

10.17.08 by Widge @ 12:36 am No, it's not that Alanis Morissette song from City of Angels, which was a horror movie in the truest sense of the word. No, instead it's a trailer over on The Horrors of It All. And there is nothing about this that is not awesome. Check it out: Direct link for the feedreaders. I had never heard of this film before but now I want to watch the hell out of it. P.S. Last year at this time we were checking out another trailer, for The Zombie Diaries... Categorized as: Movies

10.16.08 by Widge @ 8:19 pm "We've been robbing tombs for a long time now..." This is dialogue at its finest. And better than most of the dialogue in Tomb Raider, to be sure. It's Vengeance of the Zombies! Direct link for the feedreaders. Last year at this time we were watching Horror Express, which sadly, is no longer embeddable online. Categorized as: Movies

10.15.08 by Widge @ 7:00 pm I knew Will Rogers had made films, of course. I had no idea he had actually starred as Ichabod in an adaptation of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Here it is: and it's a silent film. With some swingin' tunes. Also: it's 86 years old. So, you know, bear that in mind. Direct link for the feedreaders. Found at Neato Coolville via Monster Rally. P.S. Last year our movie was The Wasp Woman! Categorized as: Movies
