Come to think of it, as a Svengoolie fan you don't mind kitchy horror! So a dislike for kitchiness must not be the reason you don't get into them. A person probably likes or dislikes all of Hammer because it's so stylistic. Hammer movies are like Tim Burton movies in the way where you can definitely tell which creative force was behind them. There's a sort of visual formula. <br /><br />Oliver Reed was new to me, but I did get the feeling that he's a big deal after looking him up.Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-64787811581105756742015-07-17T18:26:46.184-05:002015-07-17T18:26:46.184-05:00Matt ~ You're welcome! :) I'm glad you sug...Matt ~ You're welcome! :) I'm glad you suggested that I review this. At first I wasn't sure what to say, especially after watching the ending. But then I started thinking about all the ways this is different from the usual Hammer movies and how funny some parts were to me. Hey, speaking of different kinds of Hammer movies, I heard they actually made a comedy! Not that some of these aren't comedies to me (Dracula A.D. 1972 I'm talking to you) But this was an intentional comedy! It's called "That's Your Funeral" and it's about an undertaker's business being used as a front for drug smuggling. I think it should be added to my to-watch list. <br /><br />I can't vouch for the rest of this Hammer set, because this is the only movie I watched on it. Still, I know you wanted to see "The Evil of Frankenstein" so there will be at least two movies for you on there. I didn't get a chance to watch "The Kiss of the Vampire" which was on the set. I like Hammer vampire movies the best so I might end up checking this set out again.<br /><br />I love watching Peter Cushing! He's like Boris Karloff in the way where no matter what role he has, I can just tell he was a nice guy. They both have this grandfatherly thing going on. <br /><br />Yeah! They did manage to work a horse and carriage into "Night Creatures"! Even a movie about pirates and navy men can somehow have that worked in. Hammer Films must have really got their money's worth with that horse and carriage. I can't think of a time it doesn't make an appearance in one of their movies. <br /><br />I liked that this took place in the distant past too. It's always fun to see different costumes and wigs in a horror movie. It adds a whole other element. Yes, that 70s color sure does pop!<br /><br />Let me know what you think once you've watched "Night Creatures". I think this movie is worth a discussion.Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-76680028748875642152015-07-17T09:17:25.618-05:002015-07-17T09:17:25.618-05:00Always enjoyed those earlier movies.Always enjoyed those earlier movies.Gatekeeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15228120312374586686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-32028311610269944452015-07-16T21:36:22.902-05:002015-07-16T21:36:22.902-05:00Hey Justine!Hey Justine!Mantan Calaverashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01024705691966479703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-75900244500069440612015-07-16T17:38:37.623-05:002015-07-16T17:38:37.623-05:00I'm not sure why but I have a hard time gettin...I'm not sure why but I have a hard time getting into Hammer Films but I will admit this looks pretty cool.

Thanks fo...Justine - Yeah, these movies sound good! Thanks for watching and writing this review! I was a little iffy on this set, but now I'm definitely going to get it - can't wait! Peter Cushing has become one of my all-time favorite horror actors and it's always interesting when he plays it sinister, as in "The Curse of Frankenstein." Oh, it has a "horse and carriage" haha, that was so funny! I also like that it takes place in the past with great clothes - and 70's color makes it more cartoon-like and cool. These movies look like they have great atmosphere. I'll have to read this post again. Talk to you later!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12113184140276416114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-40570978865911496532015-07-16T10:03:49.304-05:002015-07-16T10:03:49.304-05:00Zena ~ Hey!

I'm also glad to see a comment on this post because I was having all kinds of blogger glitches last night with duplicates of this post coming up. I did enjoy this one and I think you will too! Peter Cushing is at his most entertaining. Usually, I feel like we only get to see one side of him in movies. It was fun to see him as a complex character that wasn't named Van Helsing. :) Let me know what you think of Night Creatures if you get a chance to see it!Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-5024219214561100182015-07-16T09:41:52.331-05:002015-07-16T09:41:52.331-05:00I'm really glad you enjoyed this movie!
