My five favorite Bela Lugosi horror film performances:1. WHITE ZOMBIE (1932): No, Dracula isn't on the top of this list. Bela is actually given a lot more to do here, and he's sensational as Zombie master Murder Legendre. Every movement and every gesture by Lugosi has some malevolent meaning. He get read more

My five favorite Boris Karloff horror film performances: 1. FRANKENSTEIN (1931): Kinda obvious, but it has to be. Karloff's portrayal as the Monster isn't just a great horror performance, it's one of the greatest in the history of film. The Monster isn't evil; he's a creature that has been thrust read more

Since Halloween is near, it's time for a blog about a classic horror film--one that not many people have even seen. The Gothic horror film revival of the late 1950s-early 1960s didn't just involve English-speaking productions--countries around the world joined in as well. Mexico was responsible for read more

Timothy Dalton's next James Bond film, LICENCE TO KILL(1989), was supposed to be more in line with Dalton's tougher, more serious Bond. The story is straight out of a 1980's action movie playbook: Bond's best friend Felix Leiter has been mutilated by an evil drug lord, and Bond seeks revenge. The t read more

Being a lifelong monster-movie fan, I have a huge love for Hammer Films, the British movie company that specialized in horror, science-fiction, and adventure films in the 1950s-70s.
