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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
