This Lassie Is A Tad More Vicious June Lockhart, star of such television programs as Lost In Space and Lassie, heads up a strong cast in a werewolf film that has everything but the werewolf in 1946’s She-Wolf Of London. The film is considered a part of Universal’s classic monster films despite being a psychologicalContinue reading “Days O’Horror #13: She-Wolf Of London (1946)”

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 #9: Son Of Dracula (1943)
A Wolf In Dracula’s Clothing 1943’s Son Of Dracula misses the mark. I hate saying that because I’m a huge fan of its star, Lon Chaney, Jr., but the story never seems to find its footing. Chaney is well known for playing not only the Wolf Man, but also Frankenstein’s monster, the Mummy, and DraculaContinue reading “Days O’Horror #9: Son Of Dracula (1943)”
Days O’Horror #8: The Invisible Man Returns (1940)
A Murderer Unseen More murder mystery than horror film, 1940’s The Invisible Man Returns is an excellent sequel to 1933’s The Invisible Man. It features Vincent Price in his second horror film role (the first being in 1939’s Tower of London) and a number of actors who would appear in multiple Universal Monster films andContinue reading “Days O’Horror #8: The Invisible Man Returns (1940)”
Days O’Horror #7: Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
Alone: Bad. Friend: Good. While Universal had plenty of successful horror films under their belt by 1935, they had yet to produce a sequel. Bride of Frankenstein changed all of that and set a precedent that almost no other sequel managed to achieve. Considered by many to be one of the best sequels ever madeContinue reading “Days O’Horror #7: Bride of Frankenstein (1935)”
Days O’Horror #6: Werewolf of London (1935)
Driven By Desire Six years prior to the popular Lon Chaney, Jr. film, The Wolf Man, Universal bared its claws with 1935’s Werewolf Of London. The film starred Henry Hull as Dr. Wilfred Glendon, a man that struggles with the terrible truth that he has become a werewolf and wants nothing more than to murderContinue reading “Days O’Horror #6: Werewolf of London (1935)”
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)”
Haven’t I Seen This Before?
Again…And One More Time I recently posed a question to my readers via Facebook asking them what topics they would like me to blog about. Of the thousands of requests (okay, just two) that I received, I decided to go with Hollywood’s recent surplus of reboots, rewrites, re-imagined stories (my personal favorite), and updated versionsContinue reading “Haven’t I Seen This Before?”
