So how come her last name isn’t Dracula?
This 1936 Universal Pictures horror film is a sequel, taking up exactly where the 1931 Dracula left off. I watched this movie, directed by Lambert Hillyer (The Invisible Ray, the first screen depiction of Batman, and many westerns) on Svengoolie.
Oh, in the name of God! Now I know what it feels like to be God!
I watched the original 1931 Universal Pictures Corp. horror movie “Frankenstein” on Svengoolie. The movie was produced by Carl Laemmle Jr. (founder of Universal Studios and head of the production from 1928 to 1936) and directed by James Whale (The Old Dark House, The Invisible Man, Bride of Frankenstein). The story was written by Mary Shelley (she published the story, also called The Modern Prometheus in 1818). Svengoolie pointed out that without this movie there would have been no Herman Munster nor Franken Berry!
I watched this re-telling of the original, 1932 horror classic, “The Mummy” on Svengoolie. This one is by Hammer Studios from Universal-International, the 1959 “The Mummy”. When searching for Princess Ananka’s tomb in 1895, the protector of the tomb, the Mummy, is released. The film is produced by Michael Carreras (The Curse of Frankenstein, The Abominable Snowman, Dracula, The Revenge of Frankenstein, The Man Who Could Cheat Death, The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll, The Brides of Dracula, The Curse of the Werewolf,
I watched the Universal-International 1954 3D monster horror film Creature of the Black Lagoon. It was directed by Jack Arnold and produced by William Alland (This Island Earth, It came From Outer Space, Tarantula!, The Deadly Mantis, The Mole People, The Colossus of New York, The Space Children, and the three Creature from the Black Lagoon films). The geology expedition ends up in the Black Lagoon off a tributary of the Amazon. Here they find more than just rocks.
Born October 14, 1916, in New Haven, Connecticut, Jack Arnold is famous for his 1950’s Sci-Fi, Horror flics. As a child he was and avid reader of science fiction and began his career as an actor on and off Broadway.
I watched this 1943, sorta sequel to Dracula, The Return of the Vampire by Columbia Pictures on Svengoolie. The story starts in World War I and the vampire Armand Tesla is staked in the heart and buried. Twenty four years later, now World War II, bombs upset the cemetery and Tesla is unearthed and a groundskeeper unwittingly removes the stake and horror ensues. Because Universal owned Dracula this is not the official sequel but Bela Lugosi (1931 Dracula, and lots of monster movies), portrays Dracula, I mean Tesla in the this movie.
I watched this British 1958 Hammer horror film, Revenge of Frankenstein, on Svengoolie. The movie is directed by Terence Fisher (Horror of Dracula, The Curse of Frankenstein, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Mummy, The Brides of Dracula, The Curse of the Werewolf, The Phantom of the Opera, Dracula: Prince of Darkness, Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed, Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell) and was the sequel to 1957 The Curse of Frankenstein.
I watched the Universal 1948 comedy horror Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein on Svengoolie. The movie stars Bud Abbott and Lou Costello as baggage clerks that receive two packages, Dracula and Frankenstein for McDougal’s House of Horrors wax museum. Larry Talbot (The Wolfman) is trying to stop the delivery because he knows they are really alive.
I watched the 1964 Columbia Pictures, Hammer Film, “The Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb” on Svengoolie. The movie was produced and directed by Michael Carreras (a British director of many Hammer horror films and others like One Million Years BC, Prehistoric Women and The Lost Continent).
It stars Terence Morgan (best known for 1948 Hamlet and 1951 Captain Horatio Hornblower R.N.), Ronald Howard (no relation to Opie –
1967 Secret Agent tv series, 1964 Combat!, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Danger Man) , Fred Clark (Bonanza, I Dream of Jeannie, Beverly Hillbillies, F Troop, Laredo, Addams Family, Dick Van Dyke Show,
Wagon Train, Twilight Zone, The Untouchables and George Burns & Gracie Allen Show), and Jeanne Roland (British model, You Only Live Twice, Casino Royale, The Avengers, 1965 Secret Agent and The Saint). I enjoyed this movie and will give it 4 out if 5 stars. For more information read Wikipedia, IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes.
I watch the Warner Brothers 1957 The Curse of Frankenstein on Svengoolie. It was the first Hammer Horror film to be in color. It is loosely based on the 1818 novel by Mary Shelley. It was directed by Terence Fisher (British film director known for his Hammer films) and stars Peter Cushing (mainly known for his Hammer films and his role as Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars) as Baron Victor Frankenstein
and Christopher Lee (who mainly played villains is known for Dracula in the Hammer films, Scaramanga in The Man with the Golden Gun, Count Dooku in Star Wars, and Saruman in Lord of the Rings) as the Monster. Robert Urquhart (mainly known for British television) plays Frankenstein’s tutor and mentor, Dr. Paul Kempe. Hazel Court (appeared in episodes of Bonanza, Danger Man, Thriller, Rawhide, The Twilight Zone, Mission:Impossible, McMillan & Wife, etc.) is Elizabeth and
