Episode 12: Lady Frankenstein!
Another screen adaptation of the Mary Shelley novel, but this one was unique for its levels of sex and violence, as well as its female lead. Often considered feminist science fiction/horror film because the focus is not on Baron Frankenstein in this version but his daughter, challenging 19th century gender roles by being a brilliant surgeon and a femme fatale.
Tania Frankenstein returns home from medical school and takes over her father’s work when his creation kills him and goes on a rampage. Using her brilliant mind and beautiful face and body, she sets out to prove to the world that her father was a genius!
The trailer to this film was sampled at the beginning of Rob Zombie’s song “Living Dead Girl”. The film was originally distributed by Roger Corman of this Italian horror film.
Rivaled only by “Curse of Frankenstein” and “Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein” in its combination of sex, violence and gothic horror.

Episode 1: Horror Express (aka Pánico en el Transiberiano/Panic on the Trans-Siberian Express)
Starring Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Telly Savalas
In 1906, a British anthropologist finds an ape-like creature in a cave in northern China. He ships it on the Trans-Siberian Express where it comes to life and starts killing passengers. Whats worse is that it is not the creature itself but a malevolent entity that possesses it. Its sort of like “John Carpenter’s The Thing” set on a train in Czarist Russia.

This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
