Very funny small film
I have to state up front that I have always been a fan of Fred MacMurray's comedies of the 1930s and 1940s so when I found this one; one I had never heard of I was excited. I wasn't disappointed - It was laugh out loud funny in parts - fast moving overall and a nice way to spend an evening

Will a silver bullet kill a "synthetic" werewolf?!?
First I must confess to being George Zucco's greatest fan, ergo the five stars. But truthfully, this is a fine old horror film with a unique twist in the story: This werewolf is created via a syringe-full of chemicals (supposedly from wolf-blood but it's a COYOTE in the lab cage!) concocted by the greatest mad scientist of all time: George Zucco, who portrays Dr. Lorenzo Cameron here. Zucco ...

Mighty Joe Young

Turner Home Ent, 2005

A delightful classic
The same crew that brought us the original King Kong must have decided it was something of a downer, so they offered us a different, more upbeat (and very funny) variation on the theme, complete with happy ending. Mighty Joe is a huge 2000-pound gorilla, raised as an orphan by a human girl companion. Joe is no King Kong, he's a gentle, good-natured giant. One of Ray Harryhausen's first ...

I found this dvd, despite poor quality, a lot of fun
"The Mad Monster" is a bad movie. George Zucco hams it up a lot. But it is a lot of fun, and is atmospheric despite the usual trappings (i.e. old dark house on sawmp). The second bonus feature "The Black Raven" is another fun little PRC flicker with Glenn Strange in comedy releif! Both of these films make a fitting double-bill. The bonus materials are cool also, including an excellent audio ...

Mickey Rooney's Heartwarming!
These 2 Mickey Rooney films are a delight from a simpler time. Hoosier Schoolboy features him as a troubled student, perceived as a ruffian by the school administration. However, Mickey's new teacher digs a little deeper to reveal the source of the boy's behavior. It turns out Mickey's just sticking up for his alcoholic father, a former war hero. Then there's Little Pal, which has Ralph Bellamy ...

BUY ME!
This is a very good collection. The movies are not bad at all, even though one can hardly be scared by them. "The Monster Maker" (1944) may not be very fascinating, but hardly "distasteful" as the other reviewer calls it... besides, it's easily redeemed by the very beautiful Tala Birell and the fact that the copy is quite good. The 1948 "Mr X" has a beautiful camerawork and art direction to boast ...
