ALL GOOD THINGS

Talking about movies, movies, movies. I believe movies are one of the best pleasures in life. Nothing better than watching a classic film and talking with others about them. Love the classics the most but will also talk about the newer stuff too. And covering all genres: comedy, action, horror, sci-fi, drama, musicals, etc. Will also discuss TV shows, more of the classics, but occasionally the newer stuff too. And anything else that might be on my mind. Feel free to drop by and have a chat.

Classic Horror Movies: Day 11 (THE WOLF MAN - 1941)

"Even a man who is pure at heart/And says his prayers by night/May become a wolf when the wolf-bane blooms/And the moon is full and bright." Classic line from a classic horror film that casts Lon Chaney as Larry Talbot, a man who tries to save a girl from a wolf attack and becomes bitten by the creature and will soon turn into a monster himself at the first full moon. One of the best horror movies ever made that boasts a stellar cast. Besides Chaney, you have Claude Rains, Evelyn Ankers, Ralph Bellamy, Bela Lugosi, Patric Knowles, and Maria Ouspenskaya. Featuring some top notch makeup effects and a haunting music score.
