Ahem. Yes. After some delay I am back and so is the horror. Please, try not to cry. Here we go!
Disc 7
John Carradine plays an artist who murders the women who sit for his paintings.
This is a PRC picture which means it should be awful, but it's not. It's actually pretty good. I'd go so far as to recommend it unironically, and I don't do that with many movies in this project.
Bela Lugosi plays a mad scientist who uses the vital fluids of young women to keep his wife alive and beautiful.
An interesting revision of the vampire story. I can't remember much about the movie though.
This was featured as episode 0105 of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and can be downloaded via the Digital Archive Project or watched on YouTube (in 10 parts).
Boris Karloff returns for his final performance as the detective Mr. Wong. A shipping tycoon is found shot to death in his office after one of his ships catches fire and sinks.
Not as good at The Fatal Hour, this one drags a little bit. It's fun to note how often Wong has to break the law to solve the mystery. Ends with a disappointing revelation of guilt, but it's okay until then.
The dead walk! The classic film that redefined our idea of zombies. Fantastic.
Next time, Disc 8: Lon Chaney, Lon Chaney, Lon Chaney Jr., Max Shreck and none of them talking.
