Cheers Bryn. Yeah, it's definitely worth checking out, as it's a fantastic book.

Hi Gary. Glad you enjoyed Blazing Magnum (sounds like a Dirty Harry movie!). No, I haven't seen that one yet. I agree with you about these stupid trigger warning. They need to stop all this nonsense, as there is no need for it.

Hi Stephen. Glad you liked the review. Yes, as I say in the video, this mag was a HUGE staple of my growing up. I only wish I could have bought every single issue, but as you rightly said, they were so hard to get, and still are. Yes, do check this book out, as it's well worth the money.

Hi Geoff. Yes, it's an awesome book. Glad you appreciated my showing it to you. Sorry to hear you lost your book when you relocated. I remember having quite a few horror cinema books back in the day, most of which were borrowed from my local library. I am starting to re-grow my collection now, and I always get a huge buzz out of discovering a new title on Amazon etc. The three Gothic Cinema books by Jonathan Rigby - a man who certainly know his stuff when it comes to horror cinema - are especially brilliant!

Definitely Tom! It's a fantastic book. And yes, as you say, the illustrations are just awesome. It is indeed a great tribute to all those iconic movie monsters we all grew up watching. Glad you enjoyed the video, Tom. Yes, do check out the book, as it's definitely worth every penny. Thank you for watching.

Yes, me too, Stuart. I have all my favourite Universal monsters on DVD, Blu Ray and 4K. These were the monsters that first got me into horror, especially Karloff in those awesome three Frankenstein Monster movies he made. By the way, I watched your video in which you showed that Frankenstein steelbook. Absolutely brilliant! Yes, it's a fantastic book, mate, and one definitely worth checking out. Thank you for your comments.

@@Truegho yeah my favourite is bride of Frankenstein it's a beautiful film 🎥

Cheers George. Yeah, it's a fantastic book.

@@Truegho i ordered a copy myself but not arrived yet cant wait..

Fantastic! Good for you, George. I bet you can't. I was like that myself until it arrived. Well worth the wait, as it's an awesome tome!

@@Truegho yeah deliverly today fingers crossed oh and off topic but did you see Salems lot is being released 3rd october streaming on MAX...

Hi Steve. Thanks for your message. Yeah, it was a real fun movie. I agree with you about the poor quality of TV progs now. Not worth watching

Glad you enjoyed the review, Bryn. In regard to the degree of horror element it has, well, I would regard it as more of a "body horror" movie than anything else, as there are a few scenes of twisted necks and joints, shotgun blasts making gaping holes in bodies etc. It also gives a nod to the old Universal Frankenstein movies, as it is set against a backdrop of constant thunder and lightning, giving it the real, creepy old-dark-house atmosphere. The glowing youth-preserving potion also reminded me of the glowing-green potion in Reanimator. So yeah, all in all, it is a real crazy, zany film, Bryn, which you might enjoy.

@@Truegho Sounds great! Thanks, Alan.

No worries, Bryn.

Glad you enjoyed, it Stuart.

That's fine. Cheers Geoff.

Cheers George.

I totally agree, Tom. There one or two good ones he made after Psycho, particularly PRETTY POISON and EDGE OF SANITY. His performance as Norman Bates, though, will always be my favourite.

Yeah, as I said in the video, this movie has been regarded as something of - ha, ha, ha - "masterpiece" by some. Definitely wasn't for me, and a lot of people agree with me on that. Another Marmite movie, I suppose.

Hi Geoff. Yeah, I hadn't heard of it until I came across this new release. And yeah, I think they went wrong EVERYWHERE with this car crash of a film. There was not one single redeeming quality about it. Definitely Anthony Perkins's worst movie ever. Thanks for your comments.

Three great films.

That's fine. Everybody to their own taste.

I think so, Carl. Glad you were tickled by my little rant (lol)! I always like to pepper my blunt criticism with a bit of humour here and there. I think it enhances the enjoyability factor of the video. Thank you for watching.

Dunno. Didn't care. Switched it off near the end, that's how much I hated it (lol)!

I will be ordering that too.,

Definitely.

Glad you liked the review, Steve. Yeah, the movie definitely WAS a "trial" to watch!

Wow, was very surprised to hear you didn't like the Psycho sequels. I loved them.

Well said, Stej! Yeah, it really was most disappointing. I hated every minute of this crazy, weird, over-talkative, borefest of a movie. Not only the worst Perkins movie I have ever seen, but actually one of the WORST movies of ANY genre I have ever seen. And they called it a - ha, ha - "masterpiece". Whereabouts????

Mine too. First read it in Sept 1975 and it truly my all time fave horror novel.

He did, but it wasn't from James Herbert's novel. It was the movie featuring the ghostly pirates.

Yes, I like that one too.

Cheers Gary. However, I won't be getting that, as I am not a fan of the film.

Thank you, Tom. Glad you liked the video.

Hi George. Glad you liked the video. Yeah, it's a great release. I will check out your review.

@@Truegho no problem al, appriciate it 👍

They are a bit pricey with the addons of VAT etc. However, I love their quick delivery.

I too will be getting Crimson Altar and Doomwatch.

Thanks George. Will have to check out your own pickups.

Cheers Sam. Glad you liked the haul. I watched the Anthony Perkins movie THE TRIAL last night, and was so disappointed. It was terrible - a major borefest with a story that made no sense. Definitely his worse movie ever. Haven't watched The Uninvited yet. Have got the novel too, so I will probably read that first before checking out the movie again (I always love to compare both book and movie versions of a story).

That's fine. Everybody to their own opinion.

Thanks so much for the kind words, Jamie. Really pleased to hear you enjoyed the video. Yeah, you have a good week yourself, mate. Speak soon. Take care.

Ha, ha, you do have a point there!

Yeah, The Unliving was definitely Paul Naschy's worst werewolf movie ever. Glad you enjoyed Bloodbath At The House of Death. It's a great little fun/horror movie. Yep, the Confessions box set is awesome. Thanks for the kind words, Bryn.

What movie is THAT scene in??

Definitely Kevin. Yeah, I grew up with all those 70s movies too. Great memories. Thank you for your comments.

Glad you enjoyed Island of Terror, Paul. Yeah, Peter Cushing always delivered whenever he starred in a movie.

Hi Mark. Thanks for your comments. Yes, you are absolutely right about Linda Hayden - she did star in one of those 70s comedies. I think it was the Taxi Driver one. Yes, I too have fond memories of watching Kenny Everett back in the day. Am really looking forward to watching Bloodbath At The House of Death in glorious HD. Glad you enjoyed Island of Terror. I will be watching it tonight.

Thank you. Glad you liked the video.

Hi Stuart. Thanks for your comments. Glad you liked the pickups. Yeah, Island of Terror is a good movie if you like your 60s flicks with a bit of Dr Who/creature-feature-style narrative thrown in. I will be watching it tonight. Yeah, Mr Judd is a great actor. He was good in First Men In The Moon too. Watched The Weak and The Wicked the other night, but unfortunately did not think it was as good as Dors's other prison movie, Before I Hang, which was brilliant. There were too many flashbacks and weak, uninteresting characters in it for me. Buy hey ho, that's just my opinion. You might like it. Cheers Stuart.

@@Truegho I might try before I hang aswell 👍🏻

Yes, do give it a go. You might enjoy it. I certainly did!

Hi Steve. Thanks for your comments Yeah, I am good, thanks. Hope you are well too. Yeah, Kenny Everett was brilliant, as was Dick Emery. Yeah, I agree with you about that horrific opening scene in Horrors of the Black Museum. What a shocker that was!

Thanks Geoff. Glad you liked the pickups. Yes, I always like to be honest about every film I watch. No point in being economical with the truth if you think a movie is really, really bad. Have a good week, mate.
