I am resorting to a Monstrous Monday post, because I fear if I wait till I leave my house and do something blogworthy (and there is no guarantee of either of those things happening), I will not post at all. We can’t have that.
“Why can’t we?”
Regular readers may remember my favorite guy, Nosferatu, of the eponymous 1922 silent film. It’s scary! I love it! I also love the song by Blue Oyster Cult, which I only recently discovered. I think my vampire friend looks startled in this picture, or perhaps he is just trying to remember how to say grace.
She looks like I feel.
And here is the beautiful Candace Hilligoss in Carnival of Souls (1962). I guess she is not looking her best in this shot. Carnival of Souls is a great example of how you can make a very unsettling movie on a low budget. One might argue that Candace is not exactly a monster, but I usually try to avoid arguments as I often lose them.
Another scary one!
These could be described as monsters of the human sort, but I believe they call themselves witches. Does anybody recognize a young Christopher Lee? I think I need to revisit some of these older horror movies I have on DVD.
A reformed monster.
I close with a seasonal monster, the Grinch. I suppose this gives away the ending of the story. I know what! I’ll put in a Spoiler Alert in the headline!
