Monsters & Memories #6: Frankenstein (1931) By Ed Davis

Posted by rogerfroilan on Mar 11, 2011 in Monsters & Memories

It’s alive Groovy Ghoulies! Those words, exclaimed by Dr. Henry Frankenstein marked the birth of a screen legend. The Frankenstein monster was born to movie fans in 1931. It’s based on the novel by Mary Shelly and also adapted from a play by Peggy Webling. And directed masterfully by James Whale. For the record, this is one of my favorites from...

V "Devil in a Blue Dress" 3/8/11

Posted by rogerfroilan on Mar 8, 2011 in Review

Okay, after I did that review of Supernatural “…And Then There Were None” I didn’t think I’d be doing another review so soon.

Hola Groovy Ghoulies! I have a weird sense of Deja Vu, this time around. I feel like we’ve been here before, only everything is Spanish! I had the pleasure of sitting down to the Spanish version of 1931’s “Dracula”. This movie used the same sets and the same script as the Bela Lugosi version. Why go to all the trouble? Well, the studio...
