Title: AL ADAMSON
Post by: RCMerchant on December 03, 2019, 03:01:41 PM
This guy makes some Bad Movies!
But I love them! You got folks like John Carradine,Lon Chaney,Gary Kent,Bud Cardos,Angelo Rossitto....
Plus all sortsa goofy monsters and bikers and Regina Carroll of course!

My Top 3- in this order- are-

1. DRACULA VS FRANKENSTEIN (1971)- It has a Dracula with a Mike Brady perm, a rotten pumpkin face Frankenstein Monster, Lon Chaney Jr. as a drug addict axe-wielding moron, and J.Carrol Naish!
2. SATAN'S SADIST (1969) with Russ Tamblyn, Gary Kent, and Bud Cardos! Best biker movie I ever seen. Shot at Spahn Ranch!
3.HORROR OF THE BLOOD MONSTERS (1970) John Carradine and crew land on a planet (the Philipines), and fight stupid monsters. Not really. It's 2 stupid movies spliced together.

BLOOD OF DRACULA'S CASTLE is without doubt the most boringly disappointing JOHN CARRADINE appearance ever.   :lookingup: Terrible.

I'll just quote my post from the other thread:

Not seen many:

Black Samurai (1976)
Dracula vs. Frankenstein (1971)
Blood of Dracula's Castle (1969)
Nurse Sherri (1978)


Black Samurai was our first bad movie we deliberately made fun of in all honesty. By the time the film was over, I was on the floor crying tears of laughter. It is still one of my favorite bad movies.

Try GALLERY OF HORRORS (1967) Not by Adamson- Al may have helped, actually!
God God, Batman!  :buggedout:

imdb doesn't mention any alternate titles but ICY DEATH would make some kind of sense.... yeah it's great. it's got kung-fu, microchip implants, freeze bombs, and odd-job from DR NO, and stuff...

DRACULA VS FRANKENSTEIN is one of the best BAD movies I ever seen in my whole life.
I seen this thing when it first came out. It played local TV and theaters! Most melon head kids ate it up like candy. I was only 10- and I knew it was s**t even at that tender age. And it is s**t. But I like it anyway.
Dam. That was 47 years ago.. :buggedout:

There's an Al Adamson documentary out, BTW. "Blood & Flesh: The Reel Life & Ghastly Death of Al Adamson." Not out on DVD yet, sadly. I haven't seen it but a guy who writes for my site loved it (and he hadn't seen an Adamson movie before).

(https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BNGRmM2VjYTMtM2I1Yy00ZjZmLWIwZTctODZiNzA0ZWU2YmIzXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTEyMDE3Mjk@._V1_.jpg)

Adamson was murdered by a contractor.

I have seen the Richard Stanley movie. A very talented man who got screwed.
I look forward to seeing this, because Al is one of my favorite BAD movie directors of all time. I really do love his garbage! And the back story is amazing. 2 of his key players, Gary Kent and 'Bud' Cardos were actually the basis of Tarintino's ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD. Because Al did film on the Spahn Ranch and had to try to keep the girls from f**king up his work! They all wanted to be in the movies!

I love watching his movies. I have a bunch on DVD and sometimes watch 2 or 3 in a row on a Saturday night.

Most recently, I watched:

I owned it on VHS as BLACK VOODOO. I guess they kept changing the title . . . and for good reasons, too . . .

DRACULA VS FRANKENSTEIN is my favorite "bad" film of all-time. I have owned it in every home video incarnation since it first came out in VHS. Got it in DVD(several times) and own it in Blu ray. It may be bad, but it was made with heart and you just dont see this kind of psychotronic film any more.

My two other favorites of Al's are BLOOD OF DRACULA'S CASTLE and HORROR OF THE BLOOD MONSTERS, both examples of his style of film making and in need of a Blu ray upgrade, with all the trimmings for extras.
