The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day, Jr. on Mar 28, 2021
PHANTOM OF THE RUE MORGUE (1954) is Warner Bros.' 3-D follow up to their hit HOUSE OF WAX. The film is based on Poe's famous tale "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", but, as expected, several liberties are taken with the source material. In 1890s Paris, a mysterious fiend is brutally murderi read more

But then another spy just tells the first spy to shut up about it. It happens twice, first with Anthony Averill saying it’s stupid, then (after Averill read more

The Phantom of Hollywood (1974)
The Vintage Cameo Posted by Emily on Feb 12, 2014
On the surface, The Phantom of Hollywood, a TV movie from 1974, may seem like it’d only appeal to the most devoted of B-horror aficionados. A retelling of The Phantom of the Opera, the film has plenty of inventive killings and questionable dialogue to satisfy those viewers, but it also holds read more

“Stick with me Snooks, and I’ll stake you to a carload of hats!” Phantom Lady is a film about a hat. Pure and simple. Two women wore it and a third woman tries to find it.

The Phantom (1961, Harold Daniels)
The Stop Button Posted by on Jul 11, 2013
“The Phantom” is horrific. Between Lon Chaney Jr. trying a Cajun accent and Paulette Goddard’s hilariously bad turn as a Ms. Big, there’s no good acting. But these two guest stars aren’t even the worst–lead Roger Creed is unbearably awful. I’m sure he was h read more
