Kiss of the Vampire (1962)
Jun 28, 2002Hammer Vampire Film
One of the more overlooked Hammer vampire films, this doesn't feature Christopher Lee or Peter Cushing but does some reasonable things in its own right
Don Sharp
Witchcraft (1964)
Sep 9, 2020Resurrected Witch
Entry in the Anglo-horror cycle with a resurrected witch and an imported Lon Chaney Jr presiding over deviltry in a sleepy English village
Curse of the Fly (1965)
Mar 5, 2001Mutated Teleporter Accidents/The Fly Sequel
The second sequel to the original The Fly, which does feature more teleporter accidents and mutations but for some reason no fly hybrids this time
The Face of Fu Manchu (1965)
Jul 5, 2002Super-Villain
The first and best of the series of films featuring Christopher Lee at his ice cold best as the Chinese super-villain Fu Manchu. This was made at the height of the Anglo-horror cycle and employs the production values to superlative regard.
Rasputin The Mad Monk (1966)
Apr 21, 2008Hammer Historical Horror Film
Hammer Films turn the historical story of Rasputin and his influence over the Russian throne into a horror film. Although they treat history liberally, this is a vivid film with an intense performance from Christopher Lee
The Brides of Fu Manchu (1966)
Jan 8, 2001Super-Villain
The second film with Christopher Lee as the Chinese super-villain Fu Manchu. Not quite up with its predecessor The Face of Fu Manchu but still an exciting blend of pulp melodrama, super-science and Yellow Peril
Jules Verne’s Rocket to the Moon (1967)
Jun 24, 2007Victorian Rocket Launch Comedy
This jumps aboard the 1960s fad for Jules Verne adaptations but has nothing to do with Verne and is a slapstick caper film about the building of a rocket
Dark Places (1973)
Jun 6, 2017Psycho-Thriller
A forgotten item from the Anglo-horror cycle in which brother and sister Christopher Lee and Joan Collins conspire to fake a series of hauntings in order to obtain an inheritance hidden in a mansion
Psychomania (1973)
Dec 5, 2013Undead Biker Gang
Hard to find Anglo-horror effort that has been long considered an item of must-see fascination for its premise of an undead biker gang, including the central image of the gang leader erupting from the grave on his motorcycle. The film unfortunately has a prosaic dullness that belies such imaginative wildness
