  1. "Kiss of the Vampire" (1963).

     

    "Vampire Circus" (1972).

     

    "Countess Dracula" (1972)--This is based on the Elisabeth Bathory legend, so I don't count this as a "Dracula" film.

     

    "Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter" (1974).

     

    "Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires" (1975).

  2. Lawrence--You're correct!

     

    If you haven't seen Navy vs. the Night Monsters (1966), search it out!  It is one of those "so bad it's good" movies--well worth searching out!  Billy Gray (Bud in "Father Knows Best") and Bobby Van are also in the film.

     

    Your Thread, Lawrence. :)

  3. This trio of films was loosely based on an 1800's novella, and the name of the connecting character is an anagram of the books' title.  Please name the films, the studio that released them, the year(s) of release, and two stars from each film.

  4. The creatures in this unintentionally funny sci-fi movie resemble a cross between weeds, spinach leaves, and trees. It was filmed in ten days by what sounds like a West Coast gasoline company.  Name the film and three of the stars.

  5. Sunday, October 16th.  All times E.S.T.

     

    8:15 a.m. "Voice In The Wind" (1944)--Anti Nazi film about how Nazi torture causes a concert pianist to lose his memory, and the aftermath.  Starring Francis Lederer and Sigrid Gurie.  Was a "Poverty Row" quickie that was elevated to a United Artists release because of the good word-of-mouth.  Was nominated for Best Sound and Best Score Oscars.  Odd film is worth a watch.

  6. "Hombre" (1967)--Starring Paul Newman, Diane Cilento, Fredric March, and Barbara Rush.  Directed by Martin Ritt.

     

    Cynical, uninvolving Western where all the characters except Newman's and Cilento's are racist, cowards, out only for themselves, or all three.  Newman plays his mixed-race character as stone faced, with minimal dialogue and expression.  March is good as the ex-Indian Agent.  Rush does well as his wife.  Cilento provides welcome humor and humanity to the film.

     

    James Wong Howe's good photography can't disguise the fact that most of the film was shot on a set.  The characters hair may be snarled and tangled from the wind, but the scenery behind them is motionless.

     

    "Hombre" was a real disappointment.  2.3/4
