More early '70s British horror 'round my house, with this 1973 seat-clutcher from Freddie "Tales From The Crypt" Francis and starring those two old scrotes from the Dracula '72 movie.

Can't beat a bit of Tigon!

Though I struggle watching Peter in anything around 1972-1974 - after his wife passed in 1971 he just wanted to join her for a long time and was barely eating In that period.
Theirs was a great love.

According to co-stars in Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell, he lived on coffee the whole shoot. Hence he tends to look horrendously thin, as you can see from his face in that cover shot.

Not that that comes across in his performances on screen. If anything his performances are even better than normal. I think he felt he had nothing else to live for, so he threw everything into his acting.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed the movie.
 


They knew what they were doing using Kate.

And I'm surprised it took me 13 years to come across that.

Knocked 14 off of the list this month!
 
Went and watched the new Predator yesterday.

The first scene was terrible and I was dreading what was about to come. Got pleasantly surprised. Decent action movie which despite some utter dumb stuff had some unexpected depth. And if you're simply in it for the action then you are well served.

Slight crossover to the Aliens universe in the shape of the Weyland Yutani corporation makes this even better for an Alien universe fan such as myself. The basic premise of a human civilization that is a techno feudalist hellhole just never disappoints.
