HORROR MOVIE TRIVIA

[lavenderblue19]

Thanks. I'll pass this round. You're welcome to post another, Wolf orThread is Open

I hate to see this die, so here goes:

 

This Vincent Price horror film takes its title from a poem by Poe, but it's really based on a story by Lovecraft.

 

(Just to get one thing out of the way, I am NOT thinking of *The Conqueror Worm* AKA *Witchfinder General*.)

 

 

[flashback42]

Silverwolf, between 1960 and 1964, there were a number of films where Price made himself the interpreter of Poe's material, both poems and short stories.

 

The exception that you refer to seems to be *The Haunted Palace* (1963) which lists both Poe and Lovecraft in the credits.

 

???

[vickisilverwolf]

Absolutely correct! The first movie adaptation of Lovecraft, I believe. (From "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward" if memory serves.)

 

Your turn.

[flashback42]

Thanks. I'm working on a response. Give me 24 hours.

Early 1980s. Color. Foreign film, performed in English. International casting. A man travels on business (vague -- perhaps espionage). Back home, is told by his wife she wants a divorce. She claims there is not another man. True in a way -- variation on the "demon lover" genre.

I believe I know this one, because I saw it on TCM Underground not too long ago. A very distrurbing, strange, surreal, nightmarish, depressing, bewildering movie.

 

*Posession* (1981)

 

 

???

 

 

[flashback42]

The same place I became aware of it, Silverwolf. The lovely Isabelle Adjani in a duel role. Kinky touch: The lover had human form in most scenes, but in what passed for sex scenes, he looked like a struggle between a squid and an octopus -- all tentacles. They did not arouse my prurient interest.

 

Silverwolf's thread.

[vickisilverwolf]

 

Thank you very much!

 

The same folks who made *I Was a Teenage Werewolf* and *I Was a Teenage Frankenstein* quickly made a semi-sequel to these movies, in which a make-up artist who supposedly created the two monsters who appeared in them gets his revenge on the studio which is trying to fire him. Can you name this odd little self-referential movie, in which the makeups for the Teenage Werewolf and the Teenage Frankenstein were re-used?

 

 

 

 

[vickisilverwolf]

This was a 1958 release from American International.

[vickisilverwolf]

 

This is, of course, quite correct. Nice poster.

 

(The "flaming color" line was something of a cheat; there were a few minutes of color at the end of this black-and-white film.)

 

Your turn.

It sounds like a movie I've only seen once, a few years back, called *The Host* (in English). If I'm right, one of you great aficionados, can post a new one... :x

[flashback42]

next up:

 

"You'd better bring a coat, Mr. R_____. There's a little **** in the air."

 

"He means a little nip."

[flashback42]

"Technically, sir, tomatoes are fags."

 

"He means fruits."

[flashback42]

...nobody's spotted this one yet?

 

NEWSCAST:

"Last year, more people were killed by automobile accidents heart attacks, lung cancer, and natural causes than by any one tomato."

[flashback42]

(addressing the U.S. President)

"...sir, do you remember where the Washington Monument used to be?"

A bantamweight cult classic. Didn't expect it to last 3 days.

 

Your thread, Sixes.

[flashback42]

*The Hell Hunters* (1986) ??

[flashback42]

A 2009 Norwegian film entitled *Dead Snow* ??

[flashback42]

Thanks, Sixes.

 

Guy walks up to a man seated at a restaurant table, shoots him. It has no effect, and the shooter retreats. He failed, even though he had used a silver bullet. Seems he was dealing with a vampire, and he came loaded for werewolf.

 

Film?

[flashback42]

"What are you doing? You're biting me! Oh how kinky!"

[flashback42]

This one has another variation on the vampire "rules". It takes three bites before you're fully recruited.

Cold War. The Count is evicted from his Castle by stuffy, sneering Soviet functionaries; he arranges to be taken to the US.

[flashback42]

Psychiatrist to a patient (whom he is also romancing): "Remember to pay your bill, ______. You know what they say, -- "If you don't pay your bill, you don't get well."

[flashback42]

The Count arranged to go to the US in a coffin -- his usual mode of long-distance travel. A shipping mix-up in NYC; he winds up in Harlem at the funeral of one who went to Africa to find his roots, and who should not have drank the water. Predictable chaos when the coffin was opened.
