I love all those Hammer movies and old Italian giallo movies. I remember back when there was UHF channels. On Saturday afternoon and late at night they would show them and it was such a treat. I will have to investigate getting some new blu-rays!
Man, the Collinson twins! Beauties both!

I will have to investigate getting some new blu-rays! Man, the Collinson twins! Beauties both! I enjoy giallo movies too. I like early Lucio Fulci, Dario Argento and Sergio Martino. Some of my favorites of the top of my head are: Tenebre, Phenomena, Opera, Cat O' Nine Tails, Bird with the Crystal Plummage, Don't Torture a Duckling, Torso, Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I have the Key, Red Queen Kills 7 Times, Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave, Case of the Scorpion's Tail, Black Belly of the Tarantula, All the Colors of the Dark, Blood Stained Shadow and The Strange Case of Mrs. Wardth. I'm especially fond of the ones with Edwige Fenech...she was a beauty. Come to think of it there were a lot of very attractive ladies in most of the giallos i have seen.

A few friends and I did our annual horror movie marathon last night. We got too much food and tried to watch too many movies, and it was awesome. We only got through three films before folks started passing out, but they were good ones: Friday the 13th, Poltergeist (which I'd never seen before), and Nightmare on Elm Street. Thinking we might try to get in another marathon before Halloween. They are too much fun.

She was gorgeous! I first saw her in The Case of Bloody Iris(or something like that). She is truly beautiful and I think she was in one of the Hostel movies as an art instructor. Some of my favorite giallos are Blood and Black Lace, Bay of Blood, The Bird with the Crystal Plummage (stunning movie with a great musical score by Ennio Moricone), Tenebre, Opera....I like them all. Stylish, plots that sometimes make no sense whatsoever, bright colors, stylish cinematography, and European beauties!

Avoid the Poltergeist sequels like the plague...they are truly terrible films.

Nights and Loves of Don Juan 1972 ... When Women Were Called Virgins 1975 ... Lover Boy 1977 ... Erotic Exploits of a Sexy Seducer 1977 ... Taxi Girl 1978 ... The Schoolteacher Goes to Boys' High Just 10 Movies ... I have a friend who is a big fan of her and I sometimes watch movies with him.

I need to see poltergeist I really loved it until the last ten minutes or so. Everything was done and resolved, so they tried to do more, and suddenly all the restraint they had showed with effects went out the window as we were bombarded by so many visuals that it all became silly white noise.

Ah, that is a bother though I may still pick it up as I think I saw it at Target the other day in a bargain halloween display.

Did you watch the original 1982 Poltergeist of the more recent remake? The original still gives me the creeps, especially that clown!

And I thought the clown was far scarier BEFORE it moved. A potential threat is always scarier than a realized one because the only limits are your imagination. Once you've seen the thing in action, it has limitations. Poltergeist does a great job of holding back and keeping its threats obscure, mysterious, and full of potential until those final ten minutes.

I'm the only person I know that likes these kind of movies...none of the people I watch movies with do I love those kinds of movies! It's like a time capsule of 70s attitudes, fashions, mediocre acting (overacting), bad english dubbing, they are pure 70s fun! Sometimes you can catch them late at night on Turner Classics or Retroplex. I started watching Twins of Evil last night, but got sleepy and turned it off. I will finish it this week.

Thankfully most of the ones that I own are in the original Italian language with subtitles so as to avoid the bad English dubbing. On a sadder note don't know if you were aware but Maedeleine Collinson passed away last year. She was 62.
