It's a tough call for Martino's finest for me, but 'Julie' and her particular vice is strangely persuasive... 🖤😁

Think I've got them by those clues, fantastic line-up! The 10.30 a.m is one of my favourite Tomas Milian films, and I'm sensing some Fenech during the day too 🖤

You certainly get your moneys worth! For me the Frankenstein element is secondary to the story of Naschy's hunchback character but it's certainly evident. Completely agree on the rats, sadly animal welfare in film is historically appalling, right back to horse tripwires in westerns. Dreadful.

Hunchback of the Morgue. 1973. Love is never easy. Harder if you're a hunchback and she's dead. Gloriously tasteless and utterly barking Naschy gem.

Brilliant! But how terrifying if anyone saw that eye peering back at them from the screen..! 👁

Cracking film. I had the VHS back in the day but it got lost over the years. I'm hoping for a boutique label to pick it up for a Blu Ray release, there were rumblings about it last year...

You're quite right, Mexican cinema is unjustly overlooked when it comes to vintage horror. It does have it's fair share of (often enjoyable) 'bad' films, as does everywhere, but there are some absolute gems in there. This is a particularly strong example...

Tis indeed 😎

One of my favourite gialli from one of my favourite directors! 🖤

Brilliant! To be fair I think it would work on me too... 😱

Indeed, Corman was the launching pad for many a talent!

Wonderful isn't it, at least equal to anything from Europe at the time.

That'll do the trick... ditches with witches! 😱 I love the use of folklore to scare kids...

Apparently so, I didn't know he did this one until it was pointed out to me yesterday!

I agree. And I like the analogy with the Universal films, I think you're probably spot on.

I just finished rewatching and it still blows me away. Definite shades of Bava but so uniquely Mexican too. Indicators Mexico Macabre set is just stunning, and there's so much material out there for a volume two. Fingers crossed so hard it hurts...

The Curse of the Crying Woman. 1961. Classic Mexican folk horror that piles on the nightmarish imagery with beautifully ghoulish gusto. Quite outstanding.

Nice one. That should've been a lobby card...

Thanks, it's the original UK release poster. I've got great memories of this on late night TV when I was younger, been a fan of it ever since. And I'm with you, Hammers mummy films deserve more love, great entertainment.

Some terrific double bills there, Scum and The Long Good Friday would be one excellent night out.

I can imagine some of those stories and be thankful I was on a different continent, and not in one of them! 😂 I can also imagine you have a wonderful collection of one-sheets...

Me three, proud owner of a shelf full of his films...

They must've been great times to work in a cinema, some fantastic films around. I saw this one when it was released too, perhaps on the same double bill? I honestly can't remember what it was screened with. Were double bills set across the country? 🤔

I agree, the sequels in particular get a rough ride but they're all splendid entertainment. Not everything can be a classic!

I'd say you were just about quits then...😁

I would never turn you in. The decline and ultimate fall of the high street video store is on your conscience, that should be punishment enough... 😄

Exactly! You can just hear Corman now... 'imagine that beautiful water sequence from Creature From the Black Lagoon' but this time it's not her foot that gets tickled'... 😅

Agreed. The Tall Man is just pure nightmare fuel, picking up coffins as if made of paper and you can't hear 'Boy!' without getting goosebumps. Angus Scrimm is an absolute legend...

I'm not convinced I've heard this before so thanks for sharing....

I never understood the cuts, but then I never understood the BBFC at all back then...
