yeah that i did know actually. there's a lot of his on want to see the #1 one is i think called "Richard' and old one from (1972) hell Mickey Rooney is even in it. it's i think extremely rare to find as no one can seem to find it and i think it is on VHS i think? Bad Charleston Charlie another one from around this time (1973) is one i'm dying to see that i can't find anywhere either

lol, monster/monstroid is a household fave around here. my BIL taped it when it was on elvira ans sent it too us with a bunch of other elvira movies, it's the ONLY one that i actually hunted down and bought on dvd!  :cheers:

i'm glad that it has some fans i guess.... i'm just not one of them, have you seen The Prisoner on Shark Island a really old one from (1936) it's the film Carradine got his big break in. it's been said it's best performance and for me i don't think it is, i mean he's not awful by any means i've just seen him give better Performances that's all

Have you seen Prisoner of Shark Island? Yes. Is it his best performance? Since I don't even remember him being in it, probably not. His best performance? Probably 1944's Bluebeard. Though my favorite performance of his is in 1983's House of Long Shadows. You can't go wrong with him, when he is appearing with Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, and Peter Cushing.

Carradine was the Guard that hated him for Killing Lincoln and than at the end after it was revealed he was innocent in his own way apologized for treating him so bad by shaking his hand.
