Sonatine Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Thematically there are a lot of horror films in the "This Month" advertisements currently airing on TCM to promote the October 2018 films. Here's the ad on YouTube. I did a screen capture of two of the images that flash by as I am trying to figure out what films they are from. One I was able to do a reverse Google Image search on and found it was Faust (1929), but the other is still eluding me. It's a pair of eyes that look from one side of the screen to the other. My brother suggested it might be from Kwaidan. It appears at the 1:09 spot in the YouTube ad and I've included the screen shot below. Any help would be much appreciated!

slaytonf Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 That would be my guess, except it's not on this month. My only other suggestion would be The Face of Fu Manchu (1965). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so, I started watching it a bit the other day and thought the film quality didn't quite match the screen shot so decided against it, but you might be right! Thank you!

Sukhov Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 It could be "the Strange Life of Dr. Frankenstein" from 2018 which is premiering on October 22nd. Yeah, I know not a good guess but the film looks too recent to be anything else from this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dskow Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 It is a clip from The Strange Life of Dr. Frankenstein". Toward the end of the documentary, they talk about how we created "New Life" with robots and automatons. They are the eyes of a life-like automaton.
