Maniacal Movie Poster Monday #186!
Night of the Blood Beast (American International Pictures, 1958)
I am sure I've seen this - it must have played one of my "Chiller Theater" shows when I was a kid - but I remember nothing about it and would like to see it again. I mean look - you've got Roger and Gene Corman producing a story Gene wrote, and directed by Bernard Kowalski - who helmed the pilot for Mission: Impossible - a man I actually got to briefly meet a few years ago.
The Bonesetter (Tempe Video, 2004)
I know nothing about this 2003 medical horror flick - the poster is cool, but where are the credits? I do know they managed a sequel in 2005 - so somebody must have liked the first one...
The Skull (Amicus Productions, 1965)
You can't go wrong with an Amicus movie starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee - especially when it's directed by Freddie Francis - who got the blog spotlight shone on him a few days ago!
Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!

That is one terrifying poster for Blood Beasts
ReplyDeleteIt really is - pretty graphic for the 50's too!
DeleteI can't believe I've still never seen The Skull... I really need to rectify that!
ReplyDeleteCome on over - we can check it out together with a few beers and snacks!
DeleteI LOVE vintage film posters.
ReplyDeleteNight of the Blood Beast looks quite gruesome!
I do too!
DeleteI suspect the movie is less gruesome than the poster implies - wish I could remember for sure...
