if anyone is ever in the mood for a good 'B' werewolf movie from the past; check out "Bad Moon"!
great for what it was...
yeah i like that movie. not many people have seen it. Its a good werewolf flick.
Werewolf movies are kind of strange. I cant think of one that was ever truely great. There are a lot of good ones though. even the old werewolf TV series played on FOX in the late 90s was really fun. seems like its like this with most of the old universal monsters.
Invisible man..... original is the best for me. i also like the John Carpenter/chevy chase version.
wolfman.... werewolf tv series, original Wolfman, silver Bullet, Bad Moon, the Howling, american werewolf in london, Jack Nicolson version was fun. best......maybe the original wolfman followed by the TV series. Bad Moon is up there though.
creature from the black lagoon.....all three originals are really good IMO. No remakes...not sure why. this is actually my favorite universal monster.
Dracula....Horror of dracula with christopher Lee and peter cushing is tops for me. Its a hammer film. all of the hammer dracula films are fantastic. Original dracula is very good along with the spanish version. The Frank Langella dracula is very good. There hasnt been a good dracula film since 1979 IMO.
Frankenstein.....original is best for me. second to that is all the Hammer versions with peter cushing.
Honestly if you like older horror and monster movies its hard to go wrong with the old Hammer Films. they are very well put together. Universal films are great fun and i love them but the hammer ones are a bit more edgy.
BTW...if your a fan of old Universal monster films they just released a complete Legacy collection thats excellent. its basically every film they made regarding the classic monsters. I paid $50 and there are something like 30 films in the set. my kids have been loving it.
The blu ray releases are really impressive as well. I am not a blue ray freak (seams like they are very hit and miss) but its amazing to see how they can revamp something like 1933 dracula to a crystal clear picture and sound. Its like watching a different film. All of the bluray universal revamps are spectacular and well worth the money IMO.
