The Fly (1958)
Rating: ★★★★
Mar 9, 2002Teleporter Accident/Human-Fly Mixup
A teleporter accident causes a scientist to swap head and arm with a fly. This requires you to suspend believability but is otherwise one of the classic monster movies of the era. Several sequels and a remake followed.

Pit and the Pendulum (1961)
Rating: ★★★
Jul 17, 2012Edgar Allan Poe Adaptation/Deranged Nobleman
The second of Roger Corman's Edgar Allan Poe films with Vincent Price. This feels too much as though Corman was trying to make another House of Usher, nevertheless it creates its own thunderously overwrought atmosphere, even if it has little to do with the Poe story

Apr 1, 2001Murderous Morticians Comedy
Droll black comedy with Boris Karloff, Vincent Price, Peter Lorre and Basil Rathbone as morticians who decide to drum up business by murdering people. This assembles much of the team behind the Roger Corman Edgar Allan Poe films

The Tomb of Ligeia (1964)
Rating: ★★
Oct 19, 2002Edgar Allan Poe Adaptation/Haunting
The eighth and last of Roger Corman's Edgar Allan Poe adaptations. Some claim this tale of possession by a late wife is the best but it feels an uninspired rehash of the plot elements from Corman's other Poe films.

The Last Man on Earth (1964)
Rating: ★★½
Jun 1, 2012Last Man on Earth vs Vampires
An adaptation of Richard Matheson's I Am Legend and the one that is the most faithful to the novel with Vincent Price as the last man alive facing vampires outside his door. On the other hand, it suffers from fatally dull direction and widely misses the book's paranoid and fearful tone

Matthew Hopkins – Witchfinder General (1968)
Rating: ★★★½
Dec 5, 1999Historical Witch Persecutions
Stark and effective film based on a true-life historical figure, this sets out to depict the barbarism of the 17th century witch hunts. Vincent Price plays seriously and the film is all the more effective as a result

Dec 6, 2002Horror Anthology
Following the collapse of Amicus Films, producer Milton Subotsky went on on his own to make this horror anthology, the bread and butter of Amicus in their heyday. Though he brings in some major horror names – Vincent Price, John Carradine – the jokey tone failed to find any success

Apr 12, 2003Old Dark House Thriller
Cannon Films make an Old Dark House film that brings together an aging Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Vincent Price and John Carradine. This denoted the end of the Anglo-horror era but is not nearly as worthy as you feel it should have been

The Great Mouse Detective (1986)
Rating: ★★★★
Nov 24, 2002Disney Animation/Mouse Sherlock Holmes
One of the most delightful films produced during the 1960s-80s lean years of Disney animation. This was not a success but delivers a film of winning charms about a mouse equivalent of Sherlock Holmes
