Back in the room...
Castle of the living dead
512yKnsDI5L._SY445_.jpg
An ok hybrid, a someweird cross between an early Bava film and 'Mill of the stone women' with a room full of petrified corpses, and although featuring work by Michael Reeves of 'Witchfinder general' fame and Christopher Lee doesn't really come to life.
Some nice camerawork but i found it a bit dull.
Still has Donald Sutherland as a witch so was worth the effort.
Reminded me of something out of 'Blackadder'.
6/10.
Comedy of Terrors
COMEDY_OF_TERRORS.jpg
Rewatched this due to the Karloff/ Lugosi top tens.
I saw this years ago and always remembered enjoying it at the time.
Nice rewatch, Price and Lorre hamming it up as funeral merchants who bump off their customers, meanwhile Karloff plays a doddering old geezer who gives shoddy funeral sermons and sits lost in his senility.
All the while his daughter sings excruciatingly and breaks glass, being ignored by 'Price' and lusted after by 'Lorre'.
All is disrupted by the cantankerous (almost dead) corpse of 'Basil Rathbone" with his repetitious cries of "What place is this!!".
Almost classic, that has trouble sustaining itself like old Basil, but is entertaining enough just to watch the old 'fiends' having a ball and bouncing off one another.
