(1964, Upgraded 12/31/20) Barbara Steele, George Ardisson, Halina Zalewska, Robert Rains. A woman under suspicion of witchcraft is burned alive. Her curse brings her back from the dead for revenge. Ardisson really gets it in the end!  Barbara's seldom looked more beautiful. Lots of great moments, especially the...

(1972, Upgraded 12/30/20) Tony Kendall, Helga Line, Loretta Tovar.  A lovely woman, at times, turns into a mythical monster.  This beast is scary—a snarling lizard-type monster that rips apart victims with great ferocity.  The setting is a remote girls’ school filled with bikini-clad babes.  Kendall is the security man hired to protect the girls from...

(1937, aka A NIGHT OF TERROR, upgraded 11/21/23). Basil Rathbone, Ann Harding. If you liked Lugosi in THE RAVEN, you'll love Rathbone in this forgotten horror thriller as he gives the performance of his life. You'll see him transform...

(1936, aka THE MAN WHO CHANGED HIS MIND—UPGRADED 9/17/21) Bois Karloff, Anna Lee, John Loder,  Karloff does in this role, what Lugosi did in his role as Dr. Vollin in THE RAVEN. He lets it all hang out as he plays the mad Dr. Laurience, who invents a fantastic device that...

(1934, Upgraded 4/7/21) Horace Carpenter, Bill Woods. There's the distinct possibility that this might be the best "worst movie" ever made. Plot concerns a mad scientist and his even madder assistant who conduct experiments to ressurrect the dead. The assistant injects the man with...

(1966, Upgraded 3/25/22) Tom Neyman, John Reynolds, Diane Adelson, Hal Warren, Stephanie Neilson.  This is a movie that will be talked about and studied long after we're all dead.  "Manos," the Hands of Fate is considered one of the worst movies ever made…ever.  Yet its low budget charm gives it a unique cult appeal that keeps your attention all the way to the end. The plot is simple, a family on vacation stops at...

(1969, Upgraded 1/7/20) Herbert Lom, Udo Kier, Gaby Fuchs, Reggie Nalder. Lom stars as a sadistic witch finder judge in 18th century Austria. His justice is sadistic, brutal, and mostly against women. This film has a large...

(1960, Upgraded 12/31/20) Herbert Boehme, Pierre Brice, Scilla Gabel, Wolfgang Preiss, Dany Carrel. An exhibit of strange female statues in an old windmill turns out to be a bizarre front for a mad professor and his companion mad doctor who are murdering young girls and using their blood to keep the professor's daughter alive. The statues, needless to say, aren't really...

(1944, Upgraded 9/19/21) J. Carroll Naish, Ralph Morgan, Wanda McKay, Tala Birell, Glenn Strange. A very perverse plotline not often found in low budget cheapies from the ‘30s and ‘40s. A mad doctor falls in love with the daughter of a classical pianist.  She spurns him...big mistake!

(1964, Upgraded 1/20/21) Hansjörg Felmy, Marianne Koch, Dietmar Schönherr, Hans Nielsen, Chariklia Baxevanos, Peer Schmidt. While a play about Jack the Ripper's atrocities is enacted at Edgar Allen Poe Theatre in London's Whitechapel district, similar murders are being committed for real in the...

(1952, Upgraded 11/3/21) Bela Lugosi, Arthur Lucan, Maria Mercedes. Bela went abroad for this wacky British horror comedy and it was the last time he was seen on screen in his Dracula cape.  There's a bit of an espionage plot, which results in the kidnapping of Mercedes at the film's beginning.  However, the real star of the show here isn't Lucan as Mother Riley, but Lugosi as a maniac who...
