Tales Of Frankenstein
One of the extras on the Curse Of Frankenstein BD, this pilot show sees Anton Diffring hamming it up, creating a guy in a Boris Karloff Halloween mask. A great 'extra', but it's easy to see why it wasn't made into a series - it's a load of old bollocks

That's exactly what I'm doing, but I've only seen Dracula and Frankenstein so far. I listened to the commentaries on the Legacy Collection DVDs but, as that was so long ago, they'll probably sounds quite fresh.

Comrades, from 1986, Bill Douglas' 3-hour epic about six 19th century farm labourers deported to Australia for organizing a workingman's union - intelligent, stylish, beautifully shot, designed and directed, and featuring an impressive cast, among them Keith Allen who's surprisingly good. If you're like me and like reading history, the excellent BFI Blu is highly recommended.

Second film of the day (although I should have saved it for a midnite screening) - finally got a hold of Arrow's Blu of Funhouse and was very impressed - a big improvement over my Universal DVD, the film looks like it's had a fresh lick of paint. (I haven't watched the extras but they look great). Funhouse reminds me a lot of Argento - on a visual level, the film's candy-colored lighting recalls Suspiria, but also Elizabeth Berridge reminds me of Jessica Harper (and strangely enough, Berridge's character's name is Amy Harper). Also, I think the film has the same kind of irrationalilty as Suspira and Inferno - the funhouse itself with it's weird geography is completely unrealistic with it's upper and lower levels, blind alleys and infernal engine room, but in Hooper's hands, it's not so much a funhouse, but a house of the damned...
