Movie(s)-A-Day #287: Andy Warhol’s Dracula (a.k.a., Blood for Dracula) and Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein (a.k.a., Flesh for Frankenstein) (1974).
The fabulously creepy Udo Kier turns 67 today. He been in lots of low budget horror crap over the years, but has still managed to carve out a niche for himself as the go-to guy for slimy, twisted villains. He really made his mark in 1974 with wonderfully over the top performances in two Warhol-produced cheapies, “Blood for Dracula” and “Flesh for Frankenstein.” Trust me, you’ll never be the same after watching these. Because seriously… the blood of these whores is killing him, and the only way to know death is to fuck life in the gall bladder!
Movie-A-Day #286: The Navy vs. the Night Monsters (1966).
Today is the United States Navy Birthday, celebrating the founding the America’s naval fleet on this day in 1775. I’m willing to bet that in those past 236 years, the Navy has never faced a foe quite like the creatures in
“The Navy vs. the Night Monsters.” It’s a ridiculously stupid movie, but at least it has Mamie Van Doren.
Movie-A-Day #285: Scream (1996).
It’s International Moment of Frustration Scream Day. Feeling frustrated or scared? Scream! And scream again! And again! And again! Let it all out!
Movie-A-Day #284: Firestarter (1984).
This is the start of Fire Prevention Week in the United States, so keep an eye out for Stephen King and his “Firestarter.”
Movie-A-Day #283: Bride of the Monster (1955).
He tampered in God’s domain… And the world’s most lovable bad movie maker Edward D. Wood Jr. would have been 87 today if he hadn’t drunk himself to an early grave. But we still have his fabulously incompetent – but thoroughly fun – body of work to enjoy. “Plan 9 From Outer Space” may have been his masterwork, but “Bride of the Monster” is just as wonderfully bad and shouldn’t be overlooked. Because it’s not every day you get to see a Hollywood legend like Bela Lugosi wrestling a rubber octopus.
