Now Playing: Day 24 of BallyBOO finds me dead tired after a long shift and in need of something new to spark the imagination. Who better to do that than Karloff under the direction of Roy William Neil at Columbia with 1935's THE BLACK ROOM!

Most definitely. Over a week later and my head is still swimming around in that lovely twist in the Vampire tale.

And the more i ponder on it, the more I enjoy the killer vine too. Definitely a wee bit rough effect wise, but that same attribute lends to its charm.

Day 16 of the BallyBOO goes back to not only Lewton, but Boris & Bela as well.

A tried & true terror fest that remains my favorite outing from the Lewton Unit is on the docket tonight.

From 1945, it's the Robert Wise directed classic, THE BODY SNATCHER!

Day 15 of the BallyBOO circles back to Prof. Quatermass w/ the film that, IMO, was the template for what Nigel Kneale later reworked into Halloween III.

From 1957, it's the shocker that squares the Prof. against a terrifying alien plot. This is: QUATERMASS II or ENEMY FROM SPACE!
