If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

I've seen this-very cool! And very tragic.

For a good read-try SHLOCK-O-RAMA by David Konow-a great biography/filmography of Al.

Trivia time-
Al's dad,Victor Adamson/Denver Dixon appeared with Bela Lugosi in the serial SHADOWS OF CHINATOWN (1936).
(Hadda get some Bela trivia in somewhere,didn't I?  :wink:)
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)
Interviewer-"Does Dracula ever end for you?
Lugosi-"No. Dracula-never ends."

I've only seen Icy Death (aka Death Dimension). Quite awful.

I saw a bit of Dracula vs. Frankenstein on TV.

According to IMBD his dad produced, directed, and acted in quite a few Z-grade westerns.  Does anyone want to find and review some of those?

If I had the chance-I sure would. I just aint got the $ to buy old western's-when I do have movie money I spend it on things I already know.
Which is a shame-I love old Hopalong Cassidy flicks-they can't be much worse,right? RIGHT?  :question:

As far as Al's film's go-I own HORROR of the BLOOD MONSTERS, SATANS SADISTS( which is actually dam good)FRAKENSTEIN VS DRACULA,BRAIN OF BLOOD,PSYCO A GO GO,,NURSE SHERRI and even CINDERELLA 2000! Which is dam awful! I love it! Wanna break up a party? Play CINDERELLA 2000.
Al also had a hand in BLOOD OF DRACULA,S CASTLE-where John Carradine doesnt play a vampire! What kinda casting is that! Alex D'Arcy of HORRORS of SPIDER ISLAND played Dracula! Carridine played a dumb ass assistaint! DOH!

Dam! This is bad! I love Al!

I own a copy of FIVE BLOODY GRAVES, which he directed.  It's a typically bad Adamson movie.
