Monster of the Day #3246

Cullen pointed out that Vincent Price played an actual vampire–and thus the only ‘real’ monster he ever played, although Phibes seemed bordering on the undead–in Monster Club, a late, 1980 Amicus anthology horror film. It was only in the framing device, though, so it’s a bit elliptical. Still, hey, vampire.

    Hmm, I think Carradine especially at this age was 99% gristle and bone. He probably didn’t have three drops of blood in him. Sucking his blood would be like pulling all the moisture out of a piece of beef jerky…

    BTW: Ken didn’t tell us to watch something stupid last weekend so I watched an actual GOOD movie. As I think I’ve said I’ve been avoiding most recent Sillywood movies but I’d heard a lot of good word about ‘Everything, Everywhere, All The Time’. So I rented it. I think ‘wacky’ is the adjective I’d describe the film with.

    I expected a pretty normal martial arts film with a SF twist. Well after a half-hour or so with my mouth dropped open and muttering ‘WTH!?!?’ over and over I finally let myself go and embraced the deranged cartoon reality of the film. It’s totally bat-guano insane in a good way. There’s some stuff I didn’t like but overall I haven’t watched a movie this pure insane FUN in a long time.

    I also disobeyed the rule and watched a good movie: “Prey”. A stripped to the bone, back to basics Predator movie, and my son and I had a great time.

  • I really loved it. More of this and less stale reheated Marvel crap.

    You should watch Swiss Army Man from the same film-makers. It’s also insane, weird and oddly touching.

    Thanks! Looked it up and it does sound interesting!

    I loved it front to back with only a few quibbles that could do nothing to quell my enthusiasm for it. And it’s always wonderful to see my wife in a leading role.

    Which is all true; Carradine plays a horror writer whom the monsters admire, so Price takes him to The Monster Club to show him the reality behind his fictions.
