"In Night
Tide, Dennis Hopper plays a young sailor named Johnny. He falls in love
with a woman named Mora who performs as a mermaid in a cheap boardwalk
side show. As Johnny becomes more deeply involved with Mora, he learns
that her last two lovers died mysteriously by drowning. In a scene right
out of (Shadow Over) Innsmouth, Mora speaks of "being called inexorably
by the sea", and of the "inexpicable longings" that the sound of the ocean
awakens in her. Although this film isn't based on any particular HPL story,
it has a very Lovecraftian feel to it."
SYNOPSIS: On leave in a shore side town, Johnny
becomes interested in a young dark haired woman. They meet and he learns
that she plays a mermaid in the local carnival. After strange occurrences,
Johnny begins to believe that she may actually be a real mermaid that habitually
kills during the cycle of the full moon. - IMDB Summary written by {VRSC26B@PRODIGY.COM}

Naturally, Johnny doesn?t buy the old fish tale that this troubled girl
is a true denizen of the deep, but disturbing and tantalizing clues start
to hint at a supernatural explanation for her otherworldly behavior. Who
is the strange Woman in Black who mutters in an indecipherable tongue and

does Mora share such an affinity with the local what really happened between
Mora and her two previous boyfriends, the ones whose drowned bodies washe
up on a lonely stretch of beach?
Will Johnny find out the answers before it?s
too late, or will the siren song of an ancient race lure him into the sea
and the night tide of a watery death?

While advertised
as part of Roger Corman's Edgar Allan Poe series, THE HAUNTED PALACE is
actually the first true Lovecraft adaption, written by genre ("Twilight
Zone") screenwriter Charles Beaumont from Lovecraft's novella "The Case
of Charles Dexter Ward." The title Poe poem is recited at the opening by
Vincent Price before the story begins.
-----
Lee Halliwell of the BBC: "Plodding
horror comic, too slow to give opportunities to its stalwart cast." Judith
Crist: "For those of ghoulish bent, or lovers of the perfectly awful."
(Will Murray suggests that rumor has it that Beaumont was not a Lovecraft
fan.)
----
SYNOPSIS: Charles Dexter Ward travels with
his wife to Arkham to inspect a large house he has inherited. It was once
owned by his great grandfather Joseph Curwen, a disciple of the devil,
who cursed the local villagers as they burned him at the stake. Everyone
is hostile to Ward, blaming the curse for the number of mutants in the
village. Indeed, Ward's arrival allows Curwen to take over his body and
restart his evil ways by revenging himself on the descendants of those
who killed him - IMDB Summary written by Jeremy Perkins {jwp@aber.ac.uk}

Good thriller; Debra Pagent's
last movie. Price & Chaney together for the first time. Good
thriller with Vincent Price and Lon Chaney in the same movie for the first
and only time. Also Debra Pagent's last movie. Debra by the way is stunningly
beautiful in this movie. One of Vincent's best acting roles by playing
two different personalities. Plot was a bit thin but the acting made this
movie.

|
Forerunner
of "Kolchak" and "Cast a Deadly Spell."
Described by Maltin as a "near-flawless supernatural
thriller" marred by "uneven performances," this atmospheric low budget
television pilot for the projected "Black Cloak" series was thought to
be too horrific by Universal and was given a theatrical release. Set in
the early 1900's, occult detective (Nielsen) is called in by the San Francisco
police in connection with a series of weird murders. Leonard Maltin: "Intricate
plot and exceptional use of the time period blending with suspense make
this a one-of-a-kind movie."
---
IMDB COMMENT: Marta Dawes (smdawes@home.com)
Omaha, Nebraska
Excellent, atmospheric oddity
that was before it's time. Leslie Nielsen is energetic, to say the
least, as Bret Kingsford, ostensibly a playboy to everyone he knows in
late 19th century San Francisco. But there is more to him than meets the
eye. He is an expert on the occult, and secretly helps the local police
force when a horrible string of murders are committed. Somehow his soon-to-be-married
friend is involved, and Bret suspects someone or something not quite human
is at the bottom of it. Leslie dons disguises to meet with the police chief
to protect his social status, his victorian mansion has secret doors and
passageways, and he plays at being uninterested while mentally taking notes
and then disappears, leaving his guest staring at an empty chair. He's
somewhat miscast in this film as a playboy, but when he throws off that
persona he's fantastic. The foggy atmosphere of San Francisco is used to
great effect to enhance the supernatural aura of the film.
This
was a failed pilot produced by Jack Laird, who went on to produce "Night
Gallery" a few years later, and was released theatrically at a few theaters.
It's impossible to find, but deserves to be seen as the unique production
it is. In some ways it is a clear precursor to "Kolchak, the Nightstalker",
and also to the wonderful demon-themed
TV movie "Spectre".

 A

wheelchair-bound scientist father (Boris Karloff) has discovered a meteorite
that emits mutating radiation rays that have turned the plants in his greenhouse
to giants. When his own wife falls victim to this mysterious power, the
old man takes it upon himself to destroy the glowing object with disastrous
results. - IMDB Summary written by Jeremy Lunt {durlinlunt@acadia.net}
----
Based on Lovecraft's THE COLOUR
OUT OF SPACE, it was Corman art director Dan Haller's directing debut.
Though written by sci-fi writer Sohl, it is a good premise not carried
out well, weak compared to the original story. Brash young American scientist
Stephen Reinhart (Adams) visits his fiancee Susan Witley (Farmer) and her
parents who live in the English village of Arkham (how droll). Her invalid
father Nathum (Karloff) is experimenting with a radioactive meteorite in
the basement which makes makes plants grow to enourmous heights and humans,
including Mrs. Witley (Jackson), mutate horribly. In the end the father
turns into a rampaging, day-glo monster. Remarkably similar, and slow paced,
as Haller's later "Dunwich Horror" (1970).
Stephen Jones: "Once again, Lovecraft's
themes were discarded in favor of a simple SF plot, although the film does
feature some nice special effects and a forbidden book entitled The Cult
of the Outer Circle... It was shot under the better title of THE
HOUSE AT THE END OF THE WORLD."

Lovecraft
would spin in his grave. Yet another terrible version of a Lovecraft
story. The plot has been twisted so far out of recognition that I only
found out it was supposed to be an adaptation of "Colour out of Space"
on a listing of Lovecraft inspired films. Boris Karloff seems at death's
door, the effects are laughable, and the overall result is muddled and
tedious. One for MST3K to tackle, I'd say!

 The
original director, Ken Russell, walked off the set. Replacing director
Greene was on his first directing assignment. Of course, Russell
went on later to direct Bram Stoker's "Lair of the White Worm."
Forced to return to her childhood home on an
island off the New England coast by her new husband (Young), a woman (Lynley)
must face the combined horror of local hoods (Reed, et al.) and a monster
in the attic of her ancestral home. Unaware of the historic roots of the
Lovecraft fragment expanded by would-be "sucessor" August Derleth, Greene
changed the script daily, replacing the mystical Deep One with a cliched
mad twin sister in the attic. Reed plays his usual 1960's sadistic thug
which takes away from the monster upstairs angle. There are some eerie
sequences and effective use of subjective camera work.

True horror. Just wanted to
say from the first time I saw this as a 12 year old boy I have never forgotten
how scary this film was. Have never understood why this movie has gotten
little recognition since it surely would scare the hell out of anyone!
Even better ,the acting was superb with Oliver Reed, Gig Young, Carol Lynley,
etc. It's too bad this movie isn't available on video. I would love to
show my nephews this one!

 Robert
Manning visits a remote country house seeking his missing brother, and
learns of Lavinia Morley, Black Witch of Greymarsh, burned at the stake
300 years ago. It is set in Arkham. That may be its Lovecraft
connection. Witchcraft, diabolism, and mystery in an English country
house. Lackluster script has 300 year old Lavinia Marsh (Steele in
horrid green skin makeup) burned at the stake as a witch and reincarnated
in Christopher Lee.
Halliwell describes this as "a
derivative, muddled scribble of a horror film, making no sense and wasting
much time." Stephen Jones says: "An early draft of this script was supposedly
based on Lovecraft's story DREAMS IN THE WITCH HOUSE but you'd never know
it from the finished film. Karloff is restricted to a wheelchair
(and caught a cold during production which led to his death the following
year), but he still manages to steal all the best scenes."

User Comments: Gothick, Boston, Mass.
Welcome to Our World of Darkness!
An underrated slice of late Sixties horror/psychedelia. It was filmed in
1968 and reminded me somewhat of The Dunwich Horror which was made around
the same time and similarly attempted to update Lovecraft with setpieces
inspired by the drug culture and the Summer of Love. The difference with
the Crimson Cult is that it was filmed in England with a stellar cast who
can actually act, unlike poor fish-out-of-water Miss Sandra Dee in Dunwich.
It is a treat to see Boris Karloff and Christopher Lee trading pleasantries
in their scenes. Michael Gough extracts the maximum from his small role
as a pitifully unhinged factotum. Barbara Steele exudes a grandly Gothic
malevolence in her scenes as Lavinia. She is probably the single most memorable
presence in the film and whatever power it possesses is largely thanks
to her. (Great costume, too!) The dungeon sequences are probably the best
though my favorite moment in the film occurs when the innocent young man
asks Karloff's sinister professor "What do you collect?" and with a friendly
grin Karloff replies, "Instruments of torture!" Marvelous moment.
This
movie is ridiculously difficult to find. After years of searching I located
a bootlegged videotape which is in terrible condition--grainy and the colors
which should be vividly over-the-top are quite washed out. Also the print
lacks the original score which was quite nifty as I recall from seeing
it on American television in the early 70s. There is supposed to be a laser
disc version from the early 90s. It would be great if a patron who owns
this would do a review of that.

While originally
announced as DUNWICH to be scripted by Ray Russell and starring Peter Fonda,
this second Lovecraft/Haller outing has amateur warlock Wilbur Whateley
(Stockwell) kidnapping Miskatonic University student (Dee). Using
his stolen copy of the Necronomicon and Dee as a sacrifice, he plans to
release the Great Old Ones. Dr. Henry Armitage (Ed Begley in his last role)
discovers that Wilbur has a monstrous "twin" brother locked in the attic
(shades of THE SHUTTERED ROOM).
Halliwell: "Bookish horror story,
quite well done against a village background." Maltin: "Often effective,
but ending ruins the whole film." Stephen Jones: "Haller's second attempt
to film Lovecraft never really achieves the cosmic scope the story needs,
but still contains effective scenes including a wild dream sequence, the
death of Old Whateley, and a mountain top climax." Will Murray: "Corman
also changed the ending, so that the bad guys win. Only he could have made
the story more Lovecraftian than even Lovecraft had written it." Director
Jean-Paul Ouellette: "While the film seemed a mixed up cross between a
beatnik movie and a Hammer film, the creature locked up in the attic room
scared the hell out of me when I was a kid."
According to Will Murray, radio
show Suspense did an excellent Orson Wellian adaptation of this back in
1945. But then this is a filmography. Corman was less successful
on film.

SYNOPSIS: Dr. Henry Armitage, Sandra Dee and

A Lovecraft
inspired (though not derived) story of four archeology students who confront
Satanism - and mutant-like monsters - while searching for vanished professor.
The Lovecraft angle is the Necronomicon-type tome of black magic the kids
by an old man in a cave. The central demon is Asmodeus. Started
in 1967 as an amateur film by writer/director McGee with added sequences
directed by actor Woods, it was reworked for theatrical release in 1971
by special effects Oscar winner Dennis Muren.
Maltin: "Mixing movie cliches
with good special effects, this film took ages to complete, and the young
cast obviously ages in it." Stephen Jones: "Muren's stop-motion effect
(done with David Allen and Jim Danforth) make this low-budget fantasy better
than expected. Horror writer Fritz Lieber featured as a missing professor
and Forrest J. Ackerman contributes his voice to a tape recording."

SYNOPSIS: Four teenagers go on a woods hike
and encounter a creepy forest ranger and a crazy old man. The old man is
a scientist who had found a mysterious book bound in human skin, the Necronomicon,
and when he had read its cryptic symbols it conjured monsters into existence.
The teenagers keep the book, and are then persued by monsters, a demonic
cult, and the ranger. The ranger turns out to be a red flying devil in

Corsicana, Tx.
Frank
Bonner's acting debut and we see why... Equinox...The Beast...Equinox...Whatever
you want to call it.... If I'm not mistaken this film was actually a student
project that somehow got released. Lord knows how it ended up on video.
It's the story of a man who goes crazy after encountering a clay monster.
Ok it's not supposed to look like clay, but that's the technology they
had back then. The movie basically shows how four friends go on a picnic
trip and end up meeting the likes of Asmodius, the perverted park ranger,
and Dr. Waterman, the crazed cave dweller. And don't forget the monster...I
never really understood how any of it tied together, I guess I was too
busy laughing at how bad the whole movie was to really pay attention. If
you thrive on really bad film or get your kicks on movies with no redeemable
value other than a laugh, rent it.

THRILLER - 2 episodes of the
classic TV Horror series THRILLER hosted by the inimitable Boris Karloff!
First up is "THE DEVILS TICKET", a nasty shocker based on a
tale by Robert Bloch that first appeared in the classic pulp magazine
WEIRD TALES. Next is "DARK LEGACY", a Lovecraftian tale of demonic
forces summoned by an accursed book starring Henry Silva. Jerry Goldsmith
contributes the chilling score. |
