See You At Louisiana Comic Con!
Big News! I was going to wait until this afternoon to make an official announcement, but I’m too excited to keep the good news under wraps. Last night I received confirmation that my panel, Bela Lugosi: The Universal Count, was approved for Louisiana Comic Con in Lafayette, LA! I sent my reply last night andContinue reading “See You At Louisiana Comic Con!”
Dracula Drains In Third Act
The BBC and Netflix Almost Had A Winner I was excited to see that the story of Dracula was going to be getting its own series on Netflix. I became less excited whenever I heard that Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat were involved. While I’m fully aware that both of these men worked on highlyContinue reading “Dracula Drains In Third Act”
Days O’Horror #29: The House Of Frankenstein (1944)
“Could Frankenstein Have Made Me Like Other Men?” 1943’s Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man gave us the first team up of Universal Monsters. 1944’s The House of Frankenstein added Dracula to the fray (at least temporarily) and would continue these team ups in later films starting with House of Dracula (1945). Boris Karloff stars notContinue reading “Days O’Horror #29: The House Of Frankenstein (1944)”
Days O’Horror #26: The Mummy (1932) and Dracula (1931, Spanish Version)
A Double Dose of Horror! I have something special for my readers today. As I’ve been charging through the month of October by watching Universal Monster classic films and reviewing them, I noticed that a thirty-second film deserved a little bit of the spotlight as well. That film is 1931’s Spanish version of Dracula. NotContinue reading “Days O’Horror #26: The Mummy (1932) and Dracula (1931, Spanish Version)”
Days O’Horror #20: Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)
“I saw what I saw when I saw it!” 1948’s Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein would be the final time that Universal’s biggest classic horror icons would share the screen. It would also be the first of a number of Abbott And Costello Meet… films. The film’s plot involves Dracula (Bela Lugosi) arriving in FloridaContinue reading “Days O’Horror #20: Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)”
Days O’Horror #12: Dracula (1931)
“I never drink….wine.” It’s the Universal horror film that started it all. It’s the one that made Bela Lugosi a star and established him as the definitive vampire. It’s 1931’s Dracula. In the film, Dracula (Lugosi) makes his way to London in order to lease property in the city. Hypnotizing and turning real estate agentContinue reading “Days O’Horror #12: Dracula (1931)”
Days O’Horror #2: Dracula’s Daughter (1936)
Keeping The Family Tradition Alive Dracula’s Daughter (1936) is a rather unique film. It doesn’t fit the mold of your standard vampire movie. Instead of a vampire intent on drinking the local citizenry dry, this film features a vampire that wants to break free of its curse (at least in the beginning of the film).Continue reading “Days O’Horror #2: Dracula’s Daughter (1936)”
The Horror Starts Tomorrow!
Thirty-One Days O’ Horror! Tomorrow I will be diving into the first of a month-long look at thirty-one of Universal’s classic horror films. Things will begin with a Universal film that I’ve never actually viewed before, 1933’s The Invisible Man, starring Claude Rains and loosely based on the popular H.G. Wells novel of the sameContinue reading “The Horror Starts Tomorrow!”
