Die, Monster, Die! is a beautiful encapsulation of all things macabre, spooky, Gothic, and ghastly. This beauty is literal through the bright, yet moody, photography and also less tangible through the campy, yet sincere, performances. Along with some ghoulish special effects, this haunted melodrama from American International Pictures surpasses expectations. Director: Daniel HallerScreenplay: Jerry SohlProducers: Pat GreenCinematography: Paul BeesonEditing: Alfred CoxMusic: Don … Continue reading Die, Monster, Die! (1965) Movie Review

Science Fiction Confidential: Interviews with 23 Monster Stars and Filmmakers by Tom Weaver | Book Review
A 'tail end' baby boomer, I saw my first horror and sci-fi movies as a kid in the 1960s and liked them enough to work up an interest in how they were made, and in the people who made them.

Silent But Deadly | Monster Movies of the Silent Era
Before Karloff and Lugosi stalked the screens, the movies were no less monstrous.

The Mummy (2017) Movie Review
This Mummy is too slick for its own good. Despite the considerable talent involved, (i.e. Tom Cruise and screenwriter David Koepp) the film projects only a sanitized version of a classic horror tale. Seemingly every aspect of production appears touched by the cold hand of corporate Hollywood. The visual palette is bland, the script is … Continue reading The Mummy (2017) Movie Review
