The Classic Horror Film Board-Keep Watching the Skies! (for drones...)
Any fellow East Coasters here puzzling over this drone phenom? None seem to have drifted over to this side of the Hudson -- so, no sightings from my NYC terrace -- but my friends in NJ are getting a bit impatient with the lack of government info, and fellow CHFBer Bob Furmanek reports at least one was spotted about a mile from his North Jersey home. More interestingly among today's developments though is that no less a pretty respectable government player than former Maryland Gov.
The Classic Horror Film Board-CHFB's Monsterpal (Tim Sullivan), has died...
Tim Sullivan, 76, a longtime CHFB member known as the popular Monsterpal, has died from a heart ailment after a stay in hospice. Ed (V42 of the CHFB), wrote: "I just got notice that Tim died on Sunday night at 6:30 Eastern Standard Time. I am sorry to have to bear the news. Tim was a true friend to everyone at the online chats. Even though I never met him in real life, and only spoke to him twice when he was in the hospital, I feel as though I have lost a true friend.
The Classic Horror Film Board-The Witch sequence from COMIN' ROUND THE MOUNTAIN (1951)
We've updated our Privacy Policy and by continuing you're agreeing to the updated terms. Share with: Link: Member 3,9383,140 I always considered the sequence where Abbott and Costello encounter Aunt Huddy the witch (Margaret Hamilton) in the film as an unofficial A&C meet a "monster" moment, replete with Frank Skinner's score from the Frankenstein film. They ARE meeting a witch played by an actress who also portrayed one of (if not the) most famous witch in film history. Any one else agree?
The Classic Horror Film Board-Is This Valerie Hobson?
We've updated our Privacy Policy and by continuing you're agreeing to the updated terms. Share with: Link: Member 3,9343,136 Watching "The Bride Of Frankenstein", I've long suspected that the above shot, as the Monster falls on and breaks the casket in the crypt and looks at the corpse contained is really that of Valerie Hobson. Of course, James Whale's "in-jokes" are all over the film, and I was waiting for Scott McQueen to mention this in the DVD audio commentary, but he doesn't.

The Classic Horror Film Board-Death Portrayed In Otherwise light-hearted Old Cartoons
Mar 12, 2022#182022-03-12T18:14+00:00 Darn, I saw the guy swiping a lick, but got distracted and missed the ending. At least he got his licks in. MeTV has been pretty good about leaving in smoking, stabbing, Russian Roulette, horny bug-eyed wolves etc. No wonder theatrical cartoons were so popular with adults.

The Classic Horror Film Board-Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians (1965)
Jul 18, 2016#212016-07-18T18:23+00:00 Towers' films are a guilty pleasure of mine. His usual formula was to take a (usually) American or (sometimes) British leading man, throw in an international cast (especially pretty ladies), pepper with eccentric British character actors and fly them all to some exotic part of the world.

The Classic Horror Film Board-Who Directed Poltergeist?

How many home video iterations has there been of Poltergeist, how many iterations of E.T. has there been? Do the math. I’m no fan of Spielberg, but I don’t understand your point. ET was a massive boxoffice success and a family, I.e. wide audience, movie. You are comparing apples with apples.

The Classic Horror Film Board-Is Hollywood finished?
Are these the dog days of Hollywood? What's their best strategy for the future? Sure, the infrastructure remains firmly embedded in LA - studios, agencies, tech facilities, distribution and cinemas and the like - but 2023 saw the major studios (other than Universal perhaps) take hits on blockbuster releases that will have hurt in terms of cost control, future project projections and the decline in marginal returns caused by hierarchic top-heavy studio systems.

The Classic Horror Film Board-DUCK SOUP - Freedonia's Going To War!
Freedonia's going to war DUCK SOUP (1933) Most reviews of Marx Brothers movies end up just detailing favorite jokes and sequences (which is certainly fun in itself), but I want to try avoiding that by talking a bit about the movies AS movies. If for example I started analyzing the scene where Groucho and Harpo confront each other in identical get-ups with Harpo pretending he is a reflection in a mirror, I'll be here all day. This was always my favorite Marx Brothers movie.

8:44 PM - Jun 01#1682023-06-01T20:44 He lived on soup or oatmeal or whatever for years, because he couldn't open his mouth. There's a scene where we see him slurping it. But at the end, because he STILL can't open his mouth, he's going to starve? I was probably 10 years old (or howEVER old I was) when I first saw SARDONICUS and it made me shake my head even then.
