NITRATE FROM THE GRAVE has Moved
Nitrate from the Grave Posted by Terry Sherwood on May 28, 2015
Just like Doctor Nieman in HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN…….I have gathered my materials in my wagon and traveled the lonely roads to continue my work in new and fertile ground
NITRATE FROM THE GRAVE is now part of STARDUST AND SHADOWS A classic Hollywood Blog. The site has moved in its conten read more
DOES THE BAT REALLY WHISPER???
Nitrate from the Grave Posted by Terry Sherwood on May 19, 2015
Outside the lonely foreboding mansion, thunder booms and lightning flashes in the sky. The approaching storm illuminates the large, time-worn building where inside the heroine is about to enter a secret staircase. The door slides ominously open, revealing a staircase down into the neither regions o read more

‘SOME DWIGHT FRYE’S OR NAISHED’?
Nitrate from the Grave Posted by Terry Sherwood on Nov 4, 2014
The Horror pictures of the Golden age are like “Diner food’ to some’ serious film goers or Movie gourmets. If that is so then side dishes you get with a diner meal add to the being filled up. If the lead actors and central story are the ‘meat ‘ of the picture then those that read more
Silver Bullets # 3 MURDERS IN THE ZOO
Nitrate from the Grave Posted by Terry Sherwood on Oct 5, 2014
I am a huge Lionel Atwill fan, so it is a treat to talk about this dark little gem of a film produced in 1933 from Paramount Pictures. MURDERS IN THE ZOO was not produced at Universal Studios yet had the look and feel from the cinematography supplied by Ernest Haller who would go on to win an Aca read more

Silver Bullets #2 THE RETURN OF DRACULA
Nitrate from the Grave Posted by Terry Sherwood on Sep 14, 2014
I read about this picture in Famous Monsters of Film Land magazine, wished to see it then, and waited years to accomplish this.
THE RETURN OF DRACULA, or CURSE OF DRACULA, had the unfortunate timing of being made and released shortly before Hammer released DRACULA (HORROR OF DRACULA) in 1958. This read more

Silver Bullets # 1 INVASION OF THE SAUCER MEN
Nitrate from the Grave Posted by Terry Sherwood on Jul 26, 2014
Welcome to a new section on NITRATE FROM THE GRAVE called SILVER BULLETS. These will be shorter, rapid fire reviews of items that would otherwise get ignored (some for good reason) or mixed in to a longer article. They are still enjoyable for a watch or as a curiosity. You usually get to see some m read more

FACES OF FIRE
Nitrate from the Grave Posted by Terry Sherwood on Jul 15, 2014
The altering of the human form has been an omnipresent theme of Horror pictures. Whether that is being tossed into something or off something, made into something, or having something removed, the result is a change that does not make us or those that love us the same. The face is a key to human id read more

BEACH BLOODY BINGO
Nitrate from the Grave Posted by Terry Sherwood on Jun 13, 2014
Summer has become a time for Hollywood to release its blockbusters to eager audiences who would rather be inside then out. I remember reading movie ads in the paper proudly touting theatres having the wonders of air conditioning. Movies about summer are another bottle (now comes in a tube) of sunt read more

GODZILLA !!!!!
Nitrate from the Grave Posted by Terry Sherwood on May 3, 2014
Some things are simply made to be seen on the large screen and some large things are made for the same reason. The original GODZILLA or Gojira is one of these momentous beasts. I had the good fortune of attending a screening of this 1954 classic in glorious black and white at the Egyptian theatre i read more

THE NOTES FROM HELL
Nitrate from the Grave Posted by Terry Sherwood on Mar 25, 2014
“A house is not a home without music, mood music. When lights are low and all is still. The songs from the HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN settle over you. It makes you a real cut up.” The above quote is part of the original narration introduction as performed by Bob MacFadden from the album THEMES FROM read more

THE CONVERSATIONAL MONSTER
Nitrate from the Grave Posted by Terry Sherwood on Dec 4, 2013
When I set out to do this blog, I gave myself the deadline of one article per week, alternating between NITRATE FROM THE GRAVE and the Classic Hollywood Blog STARDUST and SHADOWS. I said I would write what I thought would be interesting in each on that time frame. Sometimes I had half formed i read more
