    ​​'Shadow of the Vampire' (2000) is an excellent movie as a fictional retelling of the making of 'Nosferatu' (1922) starring John Malkovich as German director, F.W. Murnau, as well as Willem Dafoe as Max Schreck, the actor who played Count Orlok the vampire and there is a nice creepy twist to this movie.
    Plus, this coming Christmas Day, December 25th, a new 'Nosferatu' movie will be released in theatres and so far, it has received many excellent reviews. :)

    This was a surprisingly enjoyable Italian vampire movie. The cinematography was great with excellent composition, dramatic use of light and shadows, ominous silhouettes, etc. and for once, the dialogue and dubbed English worked well compared to a number of other movies. There's no cheesy or oddly inappropriate dialogue in this movie. It's really fun for its atmosphere. :)

    Thanks Creature Features” Haven’t seen this buried treasure in a long time. Love the nostalgia, of the period here in this old favorite, the setting was a little jazzy place with ballerinas and coaches and showed beautiful landscapes with waterfalls and woods and gullies. And a fantastic old grand castle, and the vampires were impressive. The ending got really hot, but the vampire couple should’ve worn sunscreen and had umbrellas ☂ to keep their light green complexion soft and dewy 🧛‍♀️🧛‍♂️Enjoyed this one✅⚡️🙀Enjoy your Christmas 🎄

    Hello Friends of Creature Features - as promised, that about a week ago or so, I mentioned about the nation wide postal strike here in Canada and I will keep you all posted.
    Well, this past Tuesday they all went back to work. However, the mail service for this Holiday Season will be slower than usual. You may mail your Christmas greetings by post to Canada - but it may not arrive in time for Christmas Day. It will arrive shortly after and even in the first weeks of January 2025. Talks between workers and union members will, again resume in May 2025.
    Sorry about this mess.
    I do hope that your gifts will arrive on time. It depends how fast things go.

    This Italian 1960 flick is reminiscent of another Italian movie made on the simular year, where a scientist creates a serum that uses the youth of young women that the character kills it off from young women. Entitled.
    "The Atom Age Vampire." where a French girl broke up with her boyfriend, was disfigured from an accident. And the scientist who made the serum became the Atom Age Vampire monster! Promising her beauty back. But was trapped in terror. Maybe Vincent Van Dahl can get that feature! 27:16

    Ever wonder why so many independent films like this were black and white? You might guess it was due to costs, but not for the reason you would think. After WW2, Kodak had massive manufacturing ability- for black and white film. If you were a "filmmaker," Kodak would give you all the black and white film you could use- at no cost upfront. That meant you could shoot your film, have Kodak develop it and pay them out of your ticket sales. And this is the reason you see so many films in what was obviously the age of color, shot in black and white.

      Thanks for clarifying this black and white 60s film question I always thought of zombie grandpa

      @@LisaVanTunen Another bit of behind the lens history for you, was the anti trust case filed against the big studious in 1948. (I think it was 48.)
      The studios were buying and building theaters where only their films would show. So little filmmakers could not find venues for their films. Well the studious lost the suit and agreed to divest themselves of their theaters. Overnight there were thousands of independent mom & pop theaters across the fruited plains.
      And so between zero upfront film costs from Kodak for black and white film and so many independent theaters needing movies to run, it was a bonanza for black and white silliness like "The Vampire & the Ballerina."
      The US market was so big that movies like this one got imported and dubbed. And I suspect Hammer films owes its existence to that same anti trust suit in 48. The timing was perfect for the explosion of sci-fi & horror that ran all through the 50's and 60's.

      “Did you know” Abigail is a much better remake / version of Bite which can be watched on Tubi? They must have paid a huge sum of money in order to avoid ever mentioning the original.
