It's hard to believe that 1934's The Black Cat --with elements of satanism, incest, necrophilia, and let's not forget a character being skinned alive just off screen, which we witness by way of gruesome shadow--made it past the Hays Code. Granted, this film was released in May of that year, and it was in July that the Code Crackdown officially went into full swing, irreversibly altering the course of Hollywood during its Golden Age. But it feels like a wild, carnal ball of fire, shocking and beautiful, always alluring. Considering how much the censors hated horror, The Black Cat  is a macabre miracle. Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff were approaching the movie from two very different paths. Lugosi was in the midst of financial troubles, while Karloff was being given a major push and billed simply as "KARLOFF." One might expect "The Magnificent" to follow the moniker. Whether it was ever admitted publicly or not, there was a sense of competition between the ...

From Curt Siodmak, the man behind the screenplays of many 1940s Universal monster movies ( The Invisible Man Returns and  The Wolf Man, to name just two) comes this spectacularly-silly jungle picture that feels as if it's been ripped from the pulpy pages of a men's adventure magazine. From the very first frames of the film when we meet a jungle girl (Brazilian actress/singer Yara Lex in her debut) painted in green as she looks at the viewer and sings wordless soprano notes over a menacing score, we know what we're in for: this is the world of exotica , where danger and beauty and intrigue coexist. It's a Martin Denny album come to life. The ritual of the savage awaits! The plot, thin though it may be, concerns an expedition into the far reaches of the Amazon in search of a secret tribe of mighty women who are told to guard untold riches in gold and jewels. One man, the aged and alcoholic Dr. Crespi (Eduardo Ciannelli), has seen the women and touched their treasures, bu...

When it comes to the icons of horror, none are more famous than the Universal Monsters! Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, The Phantom of the Opera, and The Creature From the Black Lagoon are the most recognized monsters ever to grace the silver screen. In this video, we'll talk about what makes them special and why they've endured for nearly a century.

The first sequel to 1933's groundbreaking special effects horror smash The Invisible Man didn't arrive until 1940, a full seven years after the movie that precedes it. Things had changed so much in movie making that The Invisible Man Returns  feels like it comes from an entirely different era of film; yet, a quick review of the facts shows that Universal never stopped creating horror films, and the seven years that span between The Invisible Man and The Invisible Man Returns  are filled with some true classics. So why does The Invisible Man Returns feel so different?

I recently had the great pleasure of picking up Universal's newly-released The Invisible Man Legacy Collection , which contains all six films from the classic horror series. As I've been making my way through the set, it occurs to me that I've been unfair to this particular franchise; I have relegated the character of The Invisible Man to second-string status, not of the same pedigree as the titans of horror, particularly Bela Lugosi's Dracula, Boris Karloff's Frankenstein, and Lon Chaney Jr.'s Wolf Man. In all honesty, I'm still struggling with whether or not The Invisible Man, The Creature From The Black Lagoon, and The Mummy exist on a lower level than their iconic brethren, but I will also admit that I think I've misjudged The Invisible Man, particularly the first film in the series from 1933. It's time for a Cereal At Midnight review!

This is what rock bottom looks like.

The original cycle of Mummy movies ends not with a roar, but with a whimper.

The cracks are starting to show.
