The Airfield It’s panic. In the Chinese city of Baskul some 90 westerners are being evacuated by the British government. There's just one hitch – you have to be British. If you’re of any other nationality it would appear that you’re out of luck. Robert Conway, a dashin read more

Ok. We’re getting close to that time of year a lot of people enjoy, and one an unfortunate number of people dislike, or just plain dread. Doesn’t really matter if you dread it, or love it. It’s a time of fantasy. And fantasy is normally for children. But in this case fantasy read more

Remembrances of Christmas Past
The Old Movie House Posted by Tom on Nov 18, 2013
Christmas, or the season I should say, always began a thump. And this part of my life was especially special. Halloween was always a ho-hum experience for me. The thrill of getting candy only lasts so long. All it does is provide you with a momentary sugar rush, and if you really over indulge read more

Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man-Ep. 2
The Old Movie House Posted by Tom on Oct 20, 2013
Nice name. But hardly original. Ok, maybe for this film it was. But enough about that. When we first see Larry in bed he resembles a beached walrus in pajamas, or somebody who has the mumps. My dad had the mumps in his early thirties, and looked somewhat like this. His head wasn’t bandaged, bu read more
Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man–Ep. 1
The Old Movie House Posted by Tom on Oct 16, 2013
Originally this blog was a fur and fangs marathon. I think its best I re-name it to a monster marathon. You never know who is going to show up. First a word of warning. If you do all sorts of research on this film (like I did) you’re going to find dozens upon dozens of references to other Uni read more

The Old Movie House Posted by Tom on Oct 2, 2013
When we left Larry Talbot he was in the midst of his first transformation from human to wolf. Right now he is on his first prowl hoping to kill someone. I strongly suspect some the anger that we see on the screen is directed at or at least instigated by makeup man Jack Pierce. Having all that Yak ha read more

A local man comes into the house, almost knocking Maleva over, and announces what we already know – Jenny is dead, pushing up daisies, taking a dirt nap, snuffed it, kicked the bucket, etc. This really attracts the attention of Sir John and Capt. Montford. These two put on a display of typical read more

The Wolf Man (1941)–Episode 1.5
The Old Movie House Posted by Tom on Sep 13, 2013
