Well, I decided to record a podcast about some of my movie watching this Halloween season, and hopefully I’ll get it in just under the wire for day 4 of the countdown. It’s about 25 minutes long, so it won’t melt your brains or anything, and for those of you brave enough to make it through the whole show there is a little treat at the end. I basically talk about two movies, The Abominable Snowman (the 1957 Hammer Yeti flick starring Peter Cushing and Forrest Tucker) and the 1972 Amicus adaptation of Tales From the Crypt (also starring Peter Cushing and a young Joan Collins.) Below are some screen captures of interest and the original movie posters. Enjoy!
Above are stills of the amazing Peter Cushing, and Forrest Tucker (star of F-Troop and the 1975 Filmation Ghostbusters live action Saturday Morning show that I talked about some time back.)
Below is an example of the surprising cinematography in the flick…
I love how the Yeti were handled visually in the film. Subtle, but effective.
Below, the awesomely creepy poster for the Amicus adaptation of Tales From the Crypt…
Here we have some still from TFtC including our unsuspecting tour patrons, and the understated Ralph Richardson as the Crypt Keeper…
Below we have some hints as to the dreadful fun that this flick contains…
Hopefully I’ll be back tomorrow with a look at a couple of the 80s horror flicks that I loved growing up.
