My first post will be published tomorrow and I will do my best to review a minimum of three films each week and I’llContinue reading “Thirty-One Days O’Horror Begins Tomorrow!”

It’s Just Around The Corner!
Days O’Horror 2020! Halloween will be here before we know it, so with that in mind I decided to give my readers a sneak peek at what’s to come in October’s month long celebration, Thirty-One Days O’Horror! Last year I focused on thirty-two Universal Monsters classic films (I threw in the Spanish version of DraculaContinue reading “It’s Just Around The Corner!”
Days O’Horror #28: Abbott And Costello Meet The Mummy (1955)
“Some mummies are men. Some mummies are women” In the second to last film that they would make together, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello dig up some laughs in 1955’s Abbott And Costello Meet The Mummy. The movie isn’t as funny as some of their other films, but it’s still a pretty serviceable comedy. TryingContinue reading “Days O’Horror #28: Abbott And Costello Meet The Mummy (1955)”
Days O’Horror #25: The Mummy’s Curse (1944)
In The Swamps Of Louisiana, I Guess…. Released just a few month’s after The Mummy’s Ghost (July, 1944), The Mummy’s Curse (December, 1944) features Lon Chaney, Jr. once again as Kharis and he’s still after his beloved Ananka (Virginia Christine). The film has numerous continuity errors in it and uses footage from The Mummy (1932)Continue reading “Days O’Horror #25: The Mummy’s Curse (1944)”
Days O’Horror #15: House of Dracula (1945)
A Crowded House The final serious Universal film to feature the Wolf Man, Frankenstein’s Monster, and Count Dracula, 1945’s House of Dracula, is one of my least favorite Universal Monsters films. It had too much going on all at the same time, featured an unlikely and unnecessary gathering of three iconic monsters, and wasted twoContinue reading “Days O’Horror #15: House of Dracula (1945)”
Days O’Horror #5: Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954)
Don’t Go In The Water! 1954’s Creature From The Black Lagoon features one of the most iconic monsters in all of film history. The film was released in 3D, a dying format at the time, but was viewed in 2D as well. The film and its two sequels are considered the final installments in Universal’sContinue reading “Days O’Horror #5: Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954)”
Days O’Horror #4: The Mummy’s Hand (1940)
Back To The Sand! 1932’s The Mummy, starring Boris Karloff as Imhotep/The Mummy, was an immensely popular film. It has remained popular over the years and has been rebooted twice by Universal with the successful Brendan Fraser film trilogy that started in 1999 and the less well-received Tom Cruise vehicle that flopped in 2017. WayContinue reading “Days O’Horror #4: The Mummy’s Hand (1940)”
Days O’Horror #3: Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man (1943)
Before The MCU While Marvel and Disney get all of the attention with their cinematic universe, the actual idea of a shared universe can be traced back to Universal’s classic monster films. Specifically, 1943’s Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man is considered by many to be the very first example of a cinematic universe film. ItContinue reading “Days O’Horror #3: Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man (1943)”
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!”
It’s the Five-OOOoooooOOO! Day O’Horror #6
The Fuzz Lon Chaney, Jr. is the sole reason that I became a werewolf maniac. As a child, his portrayal of Larry Talbot in 1941’s The Wolf Man captivated me. Lon Chaney, Jr. is still my favorite werewolf and while there have been plenty of other werewolves on the screen, none of them have comeContinue reading “It’s the Five-OOOoooooOOO! Day O’Horror #6”
