If you like horror hosts, this book is an amazing read! There’s also a documentary movie of the same name that’s well worth a watch.

I had some early St. Patty’s Day luck and found a Crestwood House monster book thrifting this weekend. How’d your weekend go, monster kid?

My only complaint with the Universal Monsters Blu Ray set is that they chose to exclude the Lon Chaney Phantom of the Opera in favor of the Technicolor Claude Rains version. It could’ve been a 10/10 perfect set.

Tonight’s viewing was Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943) with Lugosi as the Monster and Lon Chaney Jr reprising his role as Lawrence Talbot / the wolf man.

Such fun!

I watched The Invisible Agent today never having seen it so seeing Peter Lorre’s name pop up in the opening credits was a nice surprise. And he was a joy to watch as always.

I’ve been too busy to watch movies for a few days but my Universal Monsters release order watch continues this weekend with The Invisible Agent (1942).

I know I’ve never seen this one.

Milicent Patrick appreciation post.

Milicent was the designer behind the iconic gill-man from Universal’s The Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954). The production company denied her credit during her lifetime until the documentary Back to the Black Lagoon (2002) finally gave her the credit due.
