The Haunted Screen

2008-10-13 11:00:00 by J. Lapper, Squire of Gothos in Cinema Styles
If I took the many film books I have, from the general movie history books to biographies to those dealing with specific genres, and ranked them according to what I learned from them, The Haunted Screen , by Lotte Eisner would easily be in the top three. I've had almost as long as I've had movie books and read it in bits and pieces on a regular...

Evil, Pure and Simple

2008-10-12 00:00:00 by Count J Yorga Lapper in Cinema Styles
...movies have a dizzying cast of characters, from vampires, re-animated monsters and werewolves to zombies, demons and poltergeists. But it is the cold-blooded killer, the remorseless unblinking murderer that has always instilled the most fear in the real world. When one leaves the theatre after seeing a vampire movie, one may be spooked or...

The Silent Pool, told by Christopher Lee

2008-10-11 10:00:00 by Count J Yorga Lapper in Cinema Styles
 
A story to start the weekend off right. It's a little over eight minutes in length and tells the story of the Silent Pool. What is the silent pool? Well, it's a real place in England and Christopher Lee, our narrator and official Cinema Styles October Kill Fest Month Spokesman, gives vague directions on how to get there. It's done in the old...

The Actor from the Black Lagoon, method actor that is. Be careful down on the waterfront lest you be dragged under. ***** "You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a green-gilled fish-man, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you, Charley Tuna Kim Octovak takes a break on...

Killing Me Wetly

2008-10-09 10:30:00 by The Awful Dr. Orlapper in Cinema Styles
 
No need to add water. It's included in the montage. And don't look for any sharks, sea monsters or squids. The clips only include our murderous human companions. And probably best to let it load all the way before playing. Enjoy

...movies that portray it. After all, some of them do a great job at it. Anyway, this being a kill fest montage it will obviously contain multiple scenes of death and killing so if you're not into that kind of thing don't watch but if you've seen a movie rated higher than PG at some point in your life then I can't see a problem. And it only uses...

There's a moment in the movie Sneakers , a slight, throwaway thriller with Robert Redford and Ben Kingsley, when Kingsley becomes suspicious of Mary McDonnell because she remarks that she'll never do computer dating again after her date, played by the wonderful Stephen Tobolowsky, has dragged her to his office accusing her of stealing...

Creepy Things to Remember: A Kill Fest Public Service Announcement

2008-10-07 13:05:00 by Jonathan Lapper Voorhees in Cinema Styles
 
Another Public Service Announcement from Christopher Lee. Notice the odd cocking of the head at the end, as if confused by what he just said. Just one more little touch that makes Lee the best PSA announcer EVER
