Halloween Classic Horror Movie Mashup

Halloween Classic Horror Movie MashupMovie Fans — as Halloween approaches, we’ve decided to dig into the MovieFanfare Horror Movie archives crypt and dig up a few buried gems we’ve published in the past year or so.

Our first resurrection is a review of the 1963 classic horror movie, Kiss of the Vampire. Find out what happens to Gerald Harcourt and his wife Marianne as they run out of petrol in the midst of a dark Bavarian forest. First question to ask is why would anyone go to Bavaria on their honeymoon when they could have to Transylvania?

Next we let Dr. Strangefilm (Article Archive) out of the lab to perform a full examination of our favorite monster, Godzilla and his 10th film, the 1969 monster movie Godzilla’s Revenge. The good Doctor even manages to draw parallels between Godzilla and James Cagney? Really! Read the article for yourself and see if you agree.

What would the horror movie genre be without our favorite classic horror movie actors Boris Karloff and his contemporary Bela Lugosi? Well, possibly not as scary. If you dare, take a peak at Dr. Strangefilm’s article that looks at the 1945 classic horror film The Body Snatcher, directed by Robert Wise and starring Boris Karloff. Ask yourself “how far can the boundaries of life and death” be pushed? Another Halloween movie treat – Director Robert Wise also directed the horror/sci-fi classic movie The Day The Earth Stood Still.

One of our greatest treasures in the crypt of horror movie content is an article about the 1977 Italian horror movie Suspiria, ranked by Entertainment Weekly as one of the top 25 scariest movies of all time. Tell us —  can any movie be too scary? We think not!

    Can anyone help me? Many years ago when drive-in movies were still a Saturday night fun thing to do,my Husband and I went to see a shocker of which I cannot remember the title. It was so stomach-churning,that we left early.The worst thing that I remember about it,is a spooky hotel that controlled its guests.One scene(We left after this)showed a woman who was scalded to death in a hot shower which she could not turn off or get out of(glass doors)She looked like a puckered peice of meat as she sank down dying. It really was nauseating. I have to give the ” Special Effects” crew on the job they did…so VERY realistic.It was the second movie of that evening ,I belive the first feature was “Squirm” ..a pretty neat “worm” movie of the time.

    Some of our team members are offering this: There was a shower death scene that sounded like what’s been described in a 1975 movie called “Psychic Killer” but not certain about the hotel setting. There is another film from much later (1988) called “Pulse” which has a similarly disturbing shower scene.
