Monster of the Day #3624

Since we had watched a really good portmanteau movie, Tales of Terror, earlier that day,  I suggested we end the da watching the most charmingly bad one I knew, Gallery of Horror (1967). This ultra cheapie has the requisite star appearances–John Carradine, Lon Chaney Jr.–but is basically like five of the laziest attempt at one of these with several lovably dumb twist endings. It’s a good time, check it out on YouTube.

    I think this was on Amazon Prime, I remember watching it but went back and rewatched it on YouTube. Yeah, it's charming in it's cheapness and the endings are painfully predictable but gee friggin' whiz I love stuff like this.

    On a completely separate note… I was re-watching The Golden Voyage of Sinbad a couple weeks back. Afterword, I flipped through the film's listing on imdb and, holy crap, I found out that the actor who played the island oracle was none other than Robert Shaw! Yes, that Robert Shaw.

    Evidently, the film's producer, Charles Schneer, was looking to cast the role. Shaw was a friend of Schneer's, so he basically told the producer, "I'll do it, but only if you promise not to use my name in the credits." So Shaw sat in the makeup chair for one day's work, shot his scene, went home, and never received film credit.

    (Coincidentally, Sinbad's first mate was played by actor Martin Shaw, but the two are not related.)
