  • Tomb of the Werewolf (2004) aka The Unliving

    The running time for The Unliving (2004) aka Tomb of the Werewolf is 95 minutes; however, if you fast forward through what Wikipedia calls “adult sex scenes bordering on softcore pornography,” you can watch it in, I’m estimating, no longer than 75 minutes. First, if these scenes “border” on soft core, what does it take

    That girl in the bar… that girl… every time I think of her… tomorrow night the moon will be full. I can’t let it happen again. I can’t. Joe interrupted my thoughts by knocking on my door. I let him in and we exchanged pleasantries. He asked how I was and, when I said, “I’m

  • Mystery on Monster Island (1981)

    Before I’m accused of false advertising, I’m a completist and will include Mystery on Monster Island (1981) in Naschy November, no matter how small his part. However, I didn’t realize how small his part was going to be. It’s a cameo in the true sense of the word, appearing in the first scene of the

  • The Classic Horrors Club Podcast EP 111: King Karloff Redux

    Jeff and Richard return to correct a wrong (the “lost” Karloff episode) by recording a brand new retrospective of the life and films of the classic horror legend, Boris Karloff.

    Carolyn and I went out again tonight, and when I took her home, she seemed frightened and asked me to come in. She mentioned that the house is so gloomy… and “that poor girl at the Blue Whale.” That was my cue to leave before we got too deep into that subject. I told her

  • Night of the Werewolf (1981)

    Unseen since Night of the Howling Beast (1975), aka The Werewolf & the Yeti, and following at least 20 non-Waldemar Daninsky movies, Paul Naschy, his character and his curse, return in Night of the Werewolf, aka El retorno del hombre lobo, aka The Craving. This was the first Daninky film Naschy directed himself, so it’s

  • Chris Jennings (Feb. 14, 1969 Pt. 2)

    After meeting with Mrs. Stoddard, I took Carolyn to the Blue Whale. I wanted to buy her a drink to thank her. She doesn’t realize what a problem this whole thing with Amy has been for me. I reminded her, though, that staying at Collinwood was only a temporary solution. When Carolyn responded that her

    Curse of the Devil (1973)

    Depending on whether you believe there was ever a Paul Naschy werewolf film called, Las Noches del Hombre Lobo (Nights of the Wolf Man), El Retorno de Walpurgis (Curse of the Devil) from 1973 is either the sixth or seventh time Naschy played tortured soul Waldemar Daninski. If you believe there was any continuity in

    After I left Collinwood last night, I stumbled through the woods, hunched over and out of breath. I looked up at the full moon and grimaced in pain. At the same time, Mrs. Stoddard was walking through the woods in a red coat. She must have heard me and asked who was there. Just as

  • Frankenstein’s Bloody Terror 3D (1968)

    We’ve previously discussed Frankenstein’s Bloody Terror (1968), and you can click here to refresh your memory. However, watching it in 3D on the recent Kino Cult Blu-ray is a new experience and I want to make a few comments about that. First, I enjoyed it immensely! I sat back in my chair and placed the
