    Regarding Freakmaker ( a few posts up)

    Not a Tom Baker or Dr. Who fan, but I love Hammer and British Horror (and Donald Pleasance). But I've never seen this one. Is it a safe blind buy?

      I have never seen the freakmaker either, I have seen the theatrical version which is called "The Mutations". I may have been wrong but i got the vibe that they are two different cuts.

        Yep. Same here. I'm guessing (IIRC too), it's when the whateverthehellisthat from the Sargasso grabs the guy.

          I've mentally bookended this flick with Doomwatch.

            I like that film, I wish lee had returned as Dracula for it. Then it would have been perfect.
            I like it too. John Forbes Robertson had a thankless job in that role, but the awful Halloween kit makeup they put on him didn't help either. His Nosferatu entrance is cool though.

            The film is worth it for more Cushing as Van Helsing, either way.

              It's not perfect, no, but there's never been another film quite like Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires.

                Not new, but Back in Stock: Miami Connection



                If you like so bad they're good, you cannot go wrong with this film. It periodically goes in and out of stock, and when it's out, eBay prices go crazy. Get it for $10 and watch with beer, pizza, and friends. It's a howl. Highly recommended for lovers of bad 80s martial arts crime rock band fighting evil with positivity. You'll start by wondering if you've wasted your money. Then you'll start laughing. Then you'll be howling. Then something magical happens, and the movie actually wins you over, and by the end you are unironically cheering and fist pumping for the good guys.

                  I agree with everything except the last part, I personally never left "irony" especially considering how much of a blood bath it becomes at the end. Still, it's an incredibly fun movie, especially when you know the back story:

                    Yes! The mouth thing under the trap door. That thing gave me freaking nightmares.

                        30 movie (!) Al Adamson Box Set coming from Severin. Do I need this? I'm new to his stuff.

                          ^IDK...I've only seen Dracula vs. Frankenstein and it's bad. I mean REALLY bad.

                          It was incredibly sad to see Lon Chaney Jr. and J. Carrol Naish's careers end in such a production.

                            I don't know about you but it's Christmas for me, I love Adamson's work.

                              How are the other Dracula films compared to Frankenstein vs. Dracula?

                                If you didn't like D Vs F (which is a bit of a "patchwork" movie) I don't think you'll dig his portfolio. His stuff will forever remind me of Elvira at 1 am but it's an acquired taste.
