     I've been looking for this film for years....

! No longer available

    To my knowledge, it never showed in the Cleveland market, and all I ever knew about it was this still, which was shown over and over again in FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND....



    I finally ordered a copy from Amazon; dreadful. Even Hammer on a bad day was better than this.
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.

This was on TV quite frequently in the Boston market when I was a kid. It usually aired on Saturday afternoons on a UHF channel. I bought the DVD a few years ago (double feature DVD with THE HELLFIRE CLUB). It definitely is not one of the best Hammer films, but I find it to be very watchable.

     That's the one I had; it wasn't Hammer, there was no vampire, and I never bothered to finish HELLFIRE CLUB....the DVD wound up in the "free" box at the Library.

I dunno-I kinda liked it-if only for the lop-eyed hunchback and the Lugosi wanna-be.
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)
Interviewer-"Does Dracula ever end for you?
Lugosi-"No. Dracula-never ends."

It was written by famous scriptwriter Jimmy Sangster, in between stints on Hammer films at the time..and the one plus is that it's got a gorgeous Barbara Shelley in it. :smile:
