Revisiting the shades of fear in ‘The Leopard Man’
Classic Movie Hub Blog Posted by Toni Ruberto on Aug 12, 2023
We’ve all been there. There’s a noise behind us. A rustling of bushes. Or a movement in a dark street corner. Is someone there? We casually walk a little faster while telling ourselves it’s just our imagination – or is it? Yes, we’ve all been there (admit it, guys) and that’s read more
Sudden Fear (1952)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Mar 14, 2023
I had no prior knowledge of what Sudden Fear was about, and I was relatively taken aback to see a film set during a stage rehearsal. You have your lead actor in the middle of a passionate soliloquy. This is Jack Palance getting a go at a more substantial role. Then, there’s the writer and aut read more

Comet Over Hollywood Posted by on Oct 28, 2021
In 2011, I announced I was trying to see every film released in 1939. This new series chronicles films released in 1939 as I watch them. As we start out this blog feature, this section may become more concrete as I search for a common thread that runs throughout each film of the year. Right now, th read more

YouTube Noir — Noirvember Day 9: Sudden Fear (1952)
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Nov 9, 2020
Sudden Fear (1952) holds a special place in my heart. First of all, it stars my girl Joan Crawford. Secondly, it’s one of the first noirs I ever saw on the big screen. It was at Chicago’s Music Box Theater, and as I sat there in the dark, I was practically overcome by the intelligent script, the read more
'Modern Screen,' May 1934: The height of fear, and so much more
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 24, 2020
Carole Lombard's career was reaching new heights in the spring of 1934, thanks to films such as "We're Not Dressing" and the upcoming "Twentieth Century," but that didn't mean she couldn't register some fear.Not of fame, mind you, but of heights. And as it turned out, her old Cocoanut Grove dance ri read more
Doctor Who (2005) s02e11 – Fear Her
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 1, 2020
For an Earth episode, especially one with a strangely disjointed narrative with dueling MacGuffins, Fear Her is okay. There’s not a very high bar for the Earth episodes so getting to see David Tennant and Billie Piper doing an ad for the 2012 Olympics in London. They show up—six years into Piper’s read more

The Stop Button Posted by on Apr 25, 2020
Either there’s a good story behind Fist of Fear, Touch of Death’s production or it’s exactly what it seems to be, some producers got ahold of the rights to an old Chinese movie, 1957’s The Thunderstorm, starring a teenage Bruce Lee in a non-martial arts role (in fact, it’s incest melodrama), read more
Watchmen (2019) s01e05 – Little Fear of Lightning
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 13, 2019
Everyone gets everything they want. I wanted a Tim Blake Nelson “Watchmen” episode. And for my sins, they gave me one. Turns out Nelson was in New York for the giant squid attack; as a youth he looked like a cheaper, slightly nerdier Tom Holland and was a Jehovah’s Witness out to preach last minute read more
Ministry of Fear (1944): Nazis & Noir
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 12, 2019
In screenwriting 101 they always say engaging movies employ ticking clocks from start to finish. Ministry of Fear takes this quite literally, opening with the tick-tock of a clock face as Stephen Neale (Ray Milland) sits in rapt attention, waiting for the bells to chime. At first, we’re not s read more

Silver Scenes - A Blog for Classic Film Lovers Posted by The Metzinger Sisters on Oct 26, 2019
In 1972, William Castle, the director of films such as The Tingler, House on Haunted Hill, 13 Ghosts, and Straight-Jacket, tried his hand at producing a horror-themed anthology series entitled Ghost Story.

The Laboratory of Fear (1971, Patrice Leconte)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Aug 8, 2019
The Laboratory of Fear is all about expectation. For the short’s eleven minutes, writer and director Leconte wants the audience to expect something. Lots of foreshadowing. Some of it matters, some of it is red herring. The short opens very documentary-like, with a voice over explaining the modern read more

Fear The Net – The Den (2013)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jun 13, 2018
Horror has a long history of transforming the latest technology into terror. In the 50s, for instance, the atomic bomb and radiation was responsible for all kinds of mutations and critters. The 60s and 70s brought us malfunctioning computers trying to take over the world. In the 80s we got Videodrom read more
