Lol Blackenstein I was beginning to wonder if that actually existed or if I'd just imagined it.

Blackenstein. Wow. I've been watching horror films for three decades and counting. I am in awe.
I can't come up with ANY horror movie I have enjoyed less. Skip watching this one, not that anyone else out there is such a stupid masochist as me.
So the monster survives getting shot at the 3/4 mark. The end..... I was just physically shaking my head in lost wonderment about that ending. The cops release four doberman pinchers who attack, sloooowly take down, and then eat, you read that right, EAT Blackestein only to run away back to I suppose the police "canine unit" van. Damn, those dogs were the only scary thing in the movie. I'd rather be attacked by three wolf-dogs! Mean mothers, I tell ya what!

Just started Funny Games, the original Austrian film. Yep, three minutes in and I already prefer the American cast and my less rough sounding dialect. Whatever, I'm still going to love this movie. Subtitle time. When I get off of here I will focus and restart the movie.

St. Arnold Christmas Ale is delicious, and anyone holding a beer, raise it up and toast my old pal Frank Mancuso the Central Texas St. Arnold rep. A very, very good man, and a friend. Cheers, beer is good food!

LOB-8.25 So a while back I bought a double dvd collection of 25 horror classics. I just watched Frankestein with Lon Chaney. The problem was that it wasn't a movie but a 24 minute long teevee episode. So I'm counting it as a partial movie. Credit the following to The Archive of American Television website. Lon Chaney, Jr. in "Frankenstein" on "Tales of Tomorrow" — Famed "Live" Production that Chaney thought was the Dress Rehearsal Tales of Tomorrow (1951-53) is described by the Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows as “one of TV’s earliest adult science-fiction series.” These days, the series is known for early performances by such up-and-coming stars as James Dean and Leslie Nielsen, and later performances by such Hollywood legends as Boris Karloff and Sylvia Sidney. With biopic Amelia currently in theaters, take a look at Veronica Lake as lost aviatrix “Paula Bennett” on Tales of Tomorrow: “Flight Overdue” (airdate: 3/28/52). Lake made over two dozen appearances on TV in the early 1950s as her Hollywood career waned. On this episode of Tales of Tomorrow, she appears as a short-haired brunette– a switch from her blond ‘peek-a-boo curl’ image. One of the series’ most notable shows was Lon Chaney, Jr. in “Frankenstein” (airdate: 1/18/52). Chaney gives an excellent performance as the Monster, despite the fact that he notoriously thought that the “live” show was the dress rehearsal and at times doesn’t destroy breakaway chairs– saving them for the “real” show. Moments can be seen at 12:01 (where he makes a comment right at the camera during his exit) and at 14:47 (“miming” how he would break a chair). [/img] Boring adaptation, but painlessly quick. Right now, White Zombie with Bela Lugosi. LOB-9.25. Cheers!

Wow, White Zombie dragged. Took me two days and nearly ten attempts to watch it from beginning to end.

I saw the aptly-named Black Death, it's the "feel bad movie of the year". Wow, it sure was intense and black. It makes you want to read the whole bible and NOT interpret it in the wrong way.

Welcome back LS! 'Bout time brother. Don't leave again, and again I ask, would you do Elvira today?
Same version of Frankestein with Chaney, Jr., but all I read was that he thought it was a dress rehearsal. "But truth be told" to quote 'Double A', I like the thought that he was drunk much, much more.
Just started The Evil Dead, the original low-budget creepy classic we all forget 'cause Evil Dead 2 is the bee's knees.
So working on LOB-10.25.
New beer to me from New Mexico, Santa Fe Brewing Company makes a mean and proper IPA. American beers should embarass the Limeys, we took their traditional brews, and took the sissy out of 'em. Cheers heathens!

I watched Black Death again which I still think is a great movie. I loved the realism in the fight scenes.
I also watched Tales from the Darkside: The Movie which has some chessy moments ,but I still like it. Then again it's kind of a movie from my childhood and I first saw it when I was like six with my aunt.

The Hills Have Eyes (2006). I've always liked this movie it's not really scary ,but it's still fun to watch the dog and the wimp go on this rampage of revenge. It's breakfast time! will always stay with me.

Crap. I'm sweating JAS and Wulf. And we might have a darkhorse enter the fray (Did I err?) real soon with devastating numbers. So quick rehash of the rules. 1) Honor system at play. 2) Only movies watched since October 5th or 6th, whatever the first post says, and I'm too lazy to look myself. But that day, honor system. Elvira just said, "Movie Macabre is back on the air! Now I just got to pick my movie for the night, I'm sure I've got to have something in here in my dusty old box". She then produces a box with the label "Dusty Old Box". And she chose her favorite all-time classic movie of all time, Night of the Living Dead! So this is the first episode of Elvira's new show, Elvira's Movie Macabre. And the best news is that I bought a double dvd of Movie Macabre, so I get to watch this classic that is in the public domain again, for the first time. My next three movies are going to have a running theme, and then I'm jumping into some of Horror's greats as the holiday approaches. Modelo Especial from Mejico is better drank muy frio. Salud! LOB-working on 11.25 Oh, Elvira rules! EDIT I submit this video for your viewing pleasure, New Belgium Hoptober is pretty good stuff, Cheers! Attachments:
