Good Movies / Re: Chainsawmidget and the Uni...

There's some nice sets here. Some good performances. Some suitably spooky fog. And, it even has June Lockhart in it. So, you know, current event appeal.
What it doesn't have in it, is a She-wolf.
There are no werewolves or any other kind of monsters at all in this story.
There's just a murderer gaslighting a girl into thinking she's a werewolf.
Completely skippable.

LEATHERFACE seemed a lot more intense and gory when I was 13, but it has its moments.
HALLOWEEN III is a pretty good little weird horror movie, barring its lack of connection to MM.

Last post by chainsaw midget - Today at 07:14:31 PMHouse of Dracula
The movie poster promises 5 monsters. Dracula, the Wolfman, Frankenstein, "Mad Doctor" and "Hunchback."
The hunchback is a nice sweet girl. Certainly not a monster.
The movie mostly sends it's time with the mad doctor. Dracula and the Wolf Man both show up to his plae looking for a cure to their separate conditions. Sadly, they don't really interact. In fact, none of the big three do. The doctor comes up with some scientific explanations for vampirism and lycanthropy which don't really fit the tone of the rest of the movies, or for that matter, explain why Dracula can turn into a bat, but whatever.
When Larry Talbot learns that the cure is going to take some time, he flips out, jumps off a cliff and tries to kill himself. They later find him in a cave where he's discovered the body of the Frankenstein's Monster, clutching the skeleton of Boris Karloff's character from the last movie.
Oddly enough, while this sort of explains how he got here, both Dracula and the WOlfman were previous killed in their movies and no explanation is made as to how they're back.
For some reason, Dracula decideds part way through the treatment to go back to his old tricks. He contaminates the doctor with some of his own blood during a transfusion then tries to prey on the doctor's other nurse. The one that's not a hunchback.
Since Dracula was STUPID enough to put his coffin in the doctor's lab, and within feet of sunbeams, he's killed pretty easily once he turns on them. And that's only about half way through the movie.
Dracula's blood turns the doctor into a Mr. Hyde like guy at night time and his antics are the ones that bring the required angry mob of villagers down on them.
Not that the mob does anything.
The Wolfman is cured (and his reaction to seeing the moon is actually one of the movies better scenes). The mad doctor strangles his hunchbacked helper and with two minutes left in the movie, the mad doctor decides to revive the Frankenstein Monster. Larry Talbot shoots the doctor dead, and the monster knocks over some lab equipment and dies in a fire.
The end.
The movie has a few brief moments of being decent, but the whole thing really feels like a waste. Dracula's motivations are never really explained. Did he want help or not and if so, why did he change his mind?
Also why didn't they call the mad doctor Jekyll? That one single detail would have made things a lot more forgivable.

this was what all the really cool kids were listening to at my college... I was never really that cool
Some of the tracks are not bad for Halloween listening. I really like it overall. If I had heard more like this and less techno dance music at the time, I might have developed an appreciation for electronic music instead of a prejudice against it in my 20s.
