DARK EYES OF LONDON Classic Lugosi film with a creepy henchman. Bela always a more menacing villain than he was a vampire. NIGHT OF THE EAGLE Or as the Yanks christened it,Burn Witch Burn. Great little tale of witchcraft gone wrong. Only prob with the blu ray is you can see the chord on the eagle's foot during the finale! NIGHT OF THE DEMON Another classic tale black magic and witchcraft. And btw-it's a better film for seeing the demon...... A Black and White pattern here in anticipationof my Universal monsters arriving from America......

Bram Stoker's Dracula. 1992. Centuries old Count Dracula travels to England to find his bride who he believes is the reincarnation of his young barrister's fiancee. Bela Lugosi was creepy as Dracula, Christopher Lee was chilling, under Francis Ford Coppola's direction Gary Oldman was both and still able to give us a great character to the film and how he managed to go beyond and create his image for Dracula. I'm still hesitant on Keanu Reeves trying to put on a somewhat aristocrat English accent , had to keep telling myself he isn't gonna say "Whoa or Dude", he is in a horror not a comedy. Anthony Hopkins role as Van Helsing is amazing as you can see how unorthodox and how unpredictable he can be and enjoys telling people in public how he destroyed Lucy. The visual effects are decently done, with Jonathan in the coach and looking down the edge of the cliff is enough to give anyone vertigo, even the outside in the distance of Castle Dracula it's made to look like someone sat on a throne. The theme song by Annie Lennox i'm not quite sure whether to like or hate but Wojciech Kilar score is amazing and is able to blend in greatly with the film. Never realised how many times I have seen this Monica Bellucci was one of Dracula's Bride's. s-l300.jpg I'll add this as well, Gary and Francis having a small argument

Best horror score ever as far as i'm concerned. I listened to the cd so much in the 90's.

A Bay Of Blood. 1971. After a countess dies in a apparent suicide, the motions of her death set of a chain of killings around a bay. Give Mario Bava a idea and a budget and he can create a cinematic masterpiece, it has great acting, perfect setting and brilliant cinematography and his style of perfect killings. All the actors seem to be unlikable and can be a perfect drinking game, one of them dies take a shot of J&B. This is one film that peaks any slasher fan's interest from the start with the first killing right through to the finale twist at the end. s-l300.jpg

Rawhead Rex. 1986. A ancient creature is awakened and goes on a killing spree in a small Irish village. I will admit this isn't perfect and looks daft, but this is still entertaining from the imagination from Clive Barker. David Dukes takes his family to a small Irish community and all hell breaks loose that his family is targeted and tries to put Rawhead Rex back to his grave. The kills are done off screen but we see the after effects, this looks like it was done on a low budget even with the costume dept of the creature. b99cbf4ec2e5e73bd882de8bd1f07150--horror-films-tv-series.jpg Have a nice relaxing Sunday peeps

I borrowed the CD from my library and copied it onto a tape, I listened to it all of the time it's an excellent score. I made up for my wrong doing later in life and bought my own copy of the CD. As well as the VHS, the DVD, 2 versions of the Blu-ray and now the 4k haha.

Last three days worth, a trilogy of (almost) one word film titles! Host (2020) An ultra low budget British film made during the 1st lockdown (That's the one where we actually followed the rules) and recorded using Zoom, something that you'll be more familiar with now than ever before. Essentially 5 mates do a seance with a spirit guide and things go a bit wrong because one of the girls doesn't take it seriously. Not the ideal film to watch when you live alone, I scared the pants off myself Not sure that it has replay value but I'm glad I watched it once. Pulse (1988) One of those 80's 'technology is bad' stories (if only they could see us now eh?) only this time it's a sentient pulse of electricity which can get into your home and try to kill you. It does this in some quite inventive set pieces. It's an OK movie, kept me entertained for the entire time but it's not 'great'. I'm keeping it in the collection for now though. The Blob (1988) This film has no right being as good as it is! I am really surprised how entertaining, horrific and gory it is. It's one for the re-watch library for sure. Non-stop action and disgusting looking practical special effects, the Blob also doesn't have any issues with killing pre-teen kids either, nice one Kevin Dillon's hair cut though... who'd have thought a curly mullet was a thing??
