Trilogy of Terror
 

I watch Trilogy of Terror just for Karen Black, since she's my celebrity crush. I will even watch junk like Night Angel or Children of the Night for her.
Let's see, the earliest movie I saw Karen Black in...I didn't notice her at the time, but it was "You're a big boy now" which featured the wonderful Elizabeth Hartman.

I quite liked her myself...always quirky. She is very good in 1970's FIVE EASY PIECES.

SUDDEN IMPACT (1983)Fourth entry in the Dirty Harry series is quite violent, but also has some incredibly funny moments-particularly the Elevator scene. For genre fans, look for Nancy Parsons (MOTEL HELL and PORKY'S) and Mara Corday (TARANTULA, THE BLACK SCORPION, THE GIANT CLAW and THE BLACK CASTLE). Also some of the hammiest acting imaginable from Paul Drake and Audrie J Neenan who sets the film's events in motion and later was a Judge in LAW AND ORDER SVU. ***1/2

The Lift
 

I watched The Lift. Near as I could tell it was a Dutch movie. Dubbed in English, though. About a killer elevator.

HEAVY METAL (1981). The animation looks dated and some of the stories don't quite make it, but still an entertaining albeit juvenile effort. Decent soundtrack as well. ***

Well said. yeah, it was a mixed bag. Really the "Captain Sternn" segment was the only exceptional one. I read Eugene Levy was the voice for Captain Lincoln F. Sternn, which my ears find very hard to believe.

SWAMP THING 1982

Rewatched this little Beauty and the Beast meets the Bayou themed movie. Lovable.

Is that the one with Louis Jourdan? Once upon a time he played good guys, then he switched to playing good guys.

Speaking of Russ Meyer, my sister's favorite quotation from that movie is:

"We don't try things, we just do them!"

The cable stations seemed to be showing nothing but horror movies, and I joked "Even the SyFy channel is getting into the act, with A Giant Killer Shark for Christmas."

Then, this showed up in the listings:

The twelve disasters of Christmas.

I suppose having nuns wear makeup in a horror movie is no worse then women in movies who are completely made up before getting out of bed in the morning.

I meant to type "bad guys" , instead of good guys, in that Louis Jourdan post. Obviously.

And when I typed that the cable was showing nothing but horror movies, I meant Christmas movies. Either I have finger trouble or mind trouble.

"Is that the one with Louis Jourdan? Once upon a time he played good guys, then he switched to playing good guys."



It is!

Another Louis Jourdan horror movie plus more
 

Thank goodness for imdb.com. I remember seeing this movie on tv, but I couldn't remember the title: Fear No Evil. Lynda Day George plays a woman who is haunted by a kind of vampiric demon, who gets to her via her husband's recent death and a kind of magic mirror. Jourdan is the supernatural expert who saves the day.

Thinking of experts on the supernatural in movies, I thought of a movie called Daughter of the Mind, which is refreshing because it takes the skeptical attitude towards ghosts and stuff. I remember that John Carradine plays the proprietor of a sort of museum of fraudulent mediums. He encourages the hero to persist with his investigation. "Wherever there's a spook, there's an operator." I think he meant that whenever there's a ghostly manifestation that's actually visible, there is some fraudulent guy producing it.

Pumpkinhead
 

What I remember about Pumpkinhead is that it was the first time I saw Lance Henrickson in.

Did I post this already? In my postings, I tend to repeat myself.

In my postings, I tend to repeat myself.

The last thing I remember is when you were repeating yourself. But that was like from 1979, so maybe I remembering something more recent, the second time you were saying something about chiggers in the swamp with Jolly Ranchers...

I loved that movie. Have to find it and give it a rewatch.

LASERBLAST 1978

A teenager stumbles across a mysterious weapon in the desert and turns into a murderous zombie-looking thing. Cool soundtrack.

Hardcore, 1979. 8/10

horror of flashdance
 

the characters were shallow, lifeless, dull caricatures? Sounds like my kind of movie.

vampire kiss
 

All that's worth seeing in this movie is Jennifer Beals. I had the idea from the movie that it's all in the guy's head. I hate that kind of vampire movie. Besides, the character Nicolas Cage plays is so unlikeable that he gave me a prejudice against Cage that lasted for years

That's sounds kinda funny. I wonder if I could keep from laughing. ::big grin::

I like that movie. My favorite character was Trash and she became the coolest zombie in the whole movie.

Yes!

Martin, 1978. 10/10

You might be hard pressed not to...pretty bad, but fun regardless. THREE'S COMPANY had taken off and Suzanne Somers wrapped in a sheet was the lions share of the TV guide ad.

SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA (1973). LOVED this when I was 13 and while it doesn't have the same luster now, still not bad. A somewhat original idea and miles better than the last few Hammer Dracula films, although Dracula going Jihad seems kind of out there. **1/2

A COLD NIGHT'S DEATH 1973

A scientist is found frozen to death when his replacements arrive at a research base in the Arctic. Figuring he passed from a heart attack, they carry on with their research but strange things start happening.

Had a sort of slow burn like "The Shining". Very nice.

The Driller Killer, 1979. 8/10

http://www.nerdly.co.uk/wp-content/u...killer-blu.jpg

COMA (1978). Decent thriller with Genevieve Bujold as a Doctor trying to discover what is killing healthy younger people during routine surgeries. Early appearance by Tom Seller. ***

The book was even better.

I've been dying to see Coma again. I saw the last half of it's 'network debut' way back when, "early" Michael Douglas and Geneviève Bujold! Thought it was great. Michael Crichton written/directed. You'll never sign your ROBO card again.

I'll bet.
