The Thing That Couldn't Die

[the ghoul]

I just got done watching this for the first time.  It's a really good example of better than average quality 50's horror and I really enjoyed it.  I wonder why Universal never put this movie out on VHS or DVD when they were doing so with all of their other monster movies.

I've seen this one a lot o' times myself and totally agree, it's a better-than-average movie.

Not many know that the head (and the body, lol) belonged to that of actor Edward Mulhare, who also played The Ghost to Mrs. Muir in the classic 60's series, The Ghost And Mrs. Muir.   Good movie!

I concur. (I love that word-concur makes me seem smart or something-I may have spelled it wrong though).A lotta 'head' movies were made about the same time-the German the HEAD,and the awsome the BRAIN THAT WOULDNT DIE-which was made in '59-but not released untill the 60's.Producer/director Joe Green had money issues-which caught up to him in the late 60's-he was found dead in his bathtub.Some say suicide-some say murder by the mob who backed him moneywise.Oddly,his sometime compatriot Al Adamson was also murdered-and buried under his hot tub in cement.

Yeah, Al Adamson was murdered a few years back by his handyman, of all people!

When I met Sam Sherman (a longtime friend of Adamson's) at an East Coast Chiller Theatre 'con, he told he that he an Adamson were thinking of a remake of Dracula vs. Frankenstein but it never got to be. Would have been ineteresting, I'm sure.

Oddly enough, of their picks for Dracula for the original Dvs. F, they were considering German actor Francis Lederer from the 1958 shocker The Return Of Dracula.

I remember seeing Al Adamson's murder described in a police show...
