FLIX channel showed THE CRIMSON CULT (1968). I only seen the beginning and the end, but they are playing it again on FLIX Tuesday September 23 at 1:30 Eastern time. When it comes back on I'll watch the whole thing. It looked to be just my kind of film from the 60's starring Christopher Lee and Boris Karloff.
Hey I watched the whole movie of POLTERGEIST last night for the first time in 20 years and it's just a very good film. I really enjoyed watching this one again. My 15 year old daughter seen it for the first time and liked it. Good family horror film.
Cool, thanks for the head up- I'll tape it.
It also stars Barbara Steele and is (very) loosely based on the H P Lovecraft story "The Dreams in the Witch House"
I didn't care for Crimson Cult myself, even though it's one of Karloff's few good guy roles. As I recall, the hero is a bit of an ass. Still, there's worse ways of killing time.

StatCat that's on at p.m. time and if you get FLIX east and west then you have a couple chances to tape or view it.
They showed CRIMSON CULT again today on FLIX. Seen alittle more of it, but didn't finish because I had an appointment. This is one groovy movie. I've enjoyed everything in this film so far. It has that late 60's early 70's feel. Kinda of a Mod Squad era that reminded me of DRACULA 1972 and FRANKENSTIEN 1970. FRANKENSTIEN 1970 started out good and then later had cheap props towards the end that is either good or bad depending on what you look for in a film.
CRIMSON CULT was given only one star by the cable rating. I like the atmosphere the whole scene so far after seeing most of it.

You might be interested in this thing they came out with some time back, it's called a Video Casette Recorder and from what I've heard it can record stuff off TV even when you're not there. ;)
Yea, I've heard of it. How's that work?

Well, you buy one and hook it up, then you stick a video cassette into it (like a music cassette only bigger), put it on the channel you want to record and then press the Record button. Then you can even turn off the TV and walk away. When you come back, you press the Rewind button (unless you were away long enough for it to record to the end of the tape, in which case it probably rewound automaticaly), and when it's done, you press Play, and it's like watching the movie 'live'! :)
Thanks, JohnL I'll look into it. :)
