Hell yeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh:)!!!
They have 'em all at The Plaza this month:
FRED : YOU KNOW , ME AND BUBBA AND LEROY AND SKILLET WAS WATCHIN' THE LATE , LATE, LATE SHOW LAST NIGHT , IT WAS A TERRIFFIC DOUBLE HEADER , "THE THING THAT ATE EL SEGUNDO , AND GOT HEARTBURN " AND " GORK MEETS GODZILLA AND GAMERA AT THE BABY DOLL POLKA LOUNGE"! BUT , MY FAVORITE MONSTER IS STILL YOUR AUNT ESTHER!
LAMONT: POP , WOULD YOU DIG YOURSELF ?!!!
ESTHER: THAT'S ALL RIGHT , LAMONT , I NEVER ASSOCIATE MYSELF WITH ANY OLD SNAGGLETOOTH JACKASS, COCKEYEDED BUZZARD , SHEMP - HEAD BAT , ANYWAY !!!
FRED : WHO YOU CALLIN' OLD ?!!!
My favorite "thrillomedy" monster...created a theater of screaming girls at my 12 year old birthday party.
There's so many . SOME of my favorites are
Silent era : Nosferatu , Phantom of The Opera , London After Midnight (Yes, my neighbor's dog even knows it's a lost film.It still qualifies as one of the scariest monsters , ever.) , The Golem , Jekyll and Hyde (Barrymore). I don't consider Quasimodo (Or even Erik , The Phantom of The Opera) to be a monster , but , I know most people disagree. Of course , The Hunchback is one of Chaney's two or three greatest.....
Classic sound era: Karloff as The Frankenstein monster (Well , DUHH...) , LUGOSI AS DRACULA (NEED i SAY IT?), KARLOFF'S MUMMY , CHANEY , JR. AS tHE WOLFMAN , FREDERICK MARCH AS Jekyll and Hyde , Henry Hull as the Werewolf of London, Dwight Frye as ANYTHING (Not monsters , but pretty damned creepy.), Bride of Frankenstein (Elsa Lanchester), The"Manimals" in "Island of The Lost Souls", the traditional , non - radioactive , not - cannibalistic Zombies in "White Zombie ", "I Walked With a Zombie". King Kong (THE ONE, THE ONLY.).
50'S/60'S classic Trash era : Creature(s) With The Atom Brain (Maybe the FIRST ATOMIC ZOMBIE FILM. JUST AS UNDERRATED AS "I Married a Monster From Outer Space". The Colossus of New York, Teenage Frankenstein and Werewolf , CURSE OF THE DEMON (Scary as fuck !!!), Gojira/Godzilla, Furankenshutain (Frankenstein Conquers The World.) , Gargantuas (SUPPOSED to be giant Frankenstein monsters ,like "ConquersThe World" ,Rodan, King Ghidorah , Day The World Ended , Spider Baby , zillions more.
Classy pics in the Trash era : Any Hammer Horror . Toho"Adult" Sci Fi (Atragon , Mysterians , Dogora , etc.). VINCENT PRICE , PRINCE AMONG MEN. HE SELDOM PLAYED "MONSTERS", but , he loved his work , and we love him. Hammer competitors (e.g. Amicus , Tigon , "Frankenstein's Bloody Terror". Seriously. Watch it. Naschy captured the look and feel of Hammer better than almost anybody.)
Uber Trash , later years. Paul Naschy as anything , JESS FRANCO , PAUL MORRISSEY (AKA "Andy Warhol's'" Frankenstein and Dracula.) , Al Adamson (The real sick horror was his brutal murder.) .
Undisputed later greats : Night of The Living Dead , Texas Chainsaw Massacre , The Wicker Man , etc.
Hmmmm.....allow me to recalculate. I shall administer the Calcinator Death Ray which will emerge prehistoric reptiles , destroying what remains of the earth.....I cannot , yet I MUST! (Hmmmm. Maybe I should try to make a date with girl !.). Not kidding , friends , just saw a little girl with a Robot Monster helmet in a TV commercial.

John Battles said:i THINK SOMEONE ARRIVED AT THE IDEA THAT IF BLACULA (WILLIAM MARSHALL) WAS TRANSCENDING HIS HUMAN SIDE , WHICH HE WAS FIGHTING TO GET BACK TO , SO HE COULD DIE IN PEACE (ESP. IN "SCREAM , BLACULA ,SCREAM"
) , WHEN HIS TRUE , MONSTERRIFIC , SELF ROSE TO THE SURFACE AGAIN , HE MIGHT TAKE ON A BIT OF A LYCANTHROPIC QUALITY.....JUST BECAUSE , PERHAPS , HIS REGAL MANNER WAS DEEMED NOT FRIGHTENING ENOUGH.....NOW , I ONCE MET PAM GRIER. the last thought going thru my head was "Please kill me".

Also , he threw himself into his roles. He revelled in playing the villain , when , of course , in reality , you could'nt wish to meet a nicer person. And it's not about bragging rights , friends , but , I got to meet the man , twice , and his quick wit never let him down , neither did the fact that he genuinely cared about people. He really tried to give everybody some attention.....It was my great fortune that I got to meet this great man.
He said "God" is the best definition of art he could offer , as art is where we partake of God. He was a truly kind and pleasant individual , and , though I did'nt know him as others did , I MISS HIM , AS i'M SURE A LOT OF YOU DO .
Soraia said:
Amen to that!
