(1936, Upgraded 10/27/21) Tod Slaughter, Stella Rho, John Lister, Eve Lister, D.J. Williams. Tod's most famous film. Two maniacs murder for profit, hack up the bodies, and then sell thim in meat pies. Sounds appetizing, doesn't it. The scenes of Todd dumping his victims from his barber chair, backwards through a secret floor panel into his musty basement below really packed a jolt back in 1936.  Quite grisly even by...

(1969, aka SCREAMS IN THE NIGHT, upgraded 4/15/22) Joachim Fuchsberger, Marianne Koch, Luciano Pigozzi, Helga Anders, Claudio Camaso, directed by Antonio Margheriti.  What a great Euro-horror film this is!  Five people travel by car through a howling storm.  After getting stuck, they make their way on foot through the rain to a nearby forgotten, shunned inn.  It is occupied by a strange man and his wizened, clairvoyant mother...

(1965, Upgraded 12/31/20) Barbara Nelli, Paul Muller, Erika Blanc, Gordon Mitchell, Michel Forain. This is a great B&W supernatural Euro-horror film, much in the spirit of three other Italian chillers:  Castle of Blood, The Horrible Dr. Hichcock, and Nightmare Castle.  In fact, the only thing missing is Barbara Steele.  The setting is an eerie castle-mansion, complete with torture dungeon and graveyard...

(1960, Upgraded 1/12/23) Peter Williams, Harold Goldblatt, Gerald Flood, Gillian Ferguson. A seven-part mini-series about a trip to the moon and all the dangers involved.  It’s good old fashioned space opera, even if the special effects are a bit crude.  It starts with four scientists taking off for the moon.  A second rocket, an auto-piloted supply ship, is to follow.  However, when the auto pilot goes awry on the supply ship, it must be manually flown or the explorers will die in space...

(1962, Upgraded 12/28/20) Barbara Steele, Robert Flemyng, Montgomery Glenn, Harriet Medin. This film is truly one of the best Italian horror films of the 1960s, wonderfully atmospheric with a terrific music score.  Barbara's the wife of a demented, necrophiliac physician who’s enthralled by the corpses of beautiful women and haunted by the spectre of his first wife, who died...

It's sooo gothic and fill with rich macabre goings-on.  Tod's a maniac (of course) who falsely claims an inheritance in a mysterious mansion after bumping off the rightful heir. There's also a pregnant girlfriend he has to contend with:  "I'll make you a bride...a bride of death! heh, heh, heh!" Todd has great fun as he...

(1958, UPGRADED) Ken Utsui, Utako Mitsuya, Kan Hayashi. Ludicrous but lovable. It’s Starman against an alien beast in the depths of space. Watch a total disregard for science as characters walk on space platforms without...

James horror story.  A man is walking his dog when he is confronted with a supernatural horror that sends him stumbling and screaming into and open field.  The authorities find him dead, nearly every bone in his body broken...
