Friday Night Frights! The Alien Factor

Hi kids. I don’t really have a lot to say about this one. An alien craft crashes near a rural town and some of the creatures start killing and mutilating the townsfolk and must be hunted down. This movie is, however, a lot of fun. If you love rubber suites and b-level special effects you’ll really dig this.

Friday Night Frights! The Tell Tale Heart

It is that time of year when the thoughts of blissful lovers and pining loners alike turn to matters of the heart. Such is true here the dank vaults of public domain gold as well. Of course we are a much more literal lot down here. If you promise your lover that you will give them your heart, you’d better be ready to deliver.

In than vein, I offer you tonight’s movie. It is a neat, but very loose adaptation of Poe’s famous story. The Tell-Tale Heart has been adapted more times than the most written works, coming in just behind The Bible and Dracula. The movie in question is from 1960 and has our murderer a little more motivated than in the original story. In this movie he kills a rival for the woman he loves. The outcome is basically the same,but the movie has lots of suspense and even a little gore to make things interesting. The film is well shot and well acted and, coming on heels of the stinkfest that was Night Fright, you really can’t ask for more? Enjoy and don’t forget to be a lady or gentleman with your date for the evening. Hold them close during the scary parts and don’t forget to give them a little peck on the cheek before you put them back into the ground.

Friday Night Frights! – Night Fright

Here’s a little monster movie trash for the more indiscriminate among you. We’ve got a small Texas town terrorized by a renegade primate that has been mutated by NASA experiments. The town’s only hope are the local “college kids” who all seem to be around 35 or so. Not great, not even that good really, but you can watch it at work instead of doing something productive and that is always a plus.  Have a good weekend and enjoy the flick.

Friday Night Frights! – Dominique is Dead

OK kids, this week’s show is a bit of a rush job. I a medical issue this week and some extra stuff at work, so you won’t get a lot of my witty banter this time, but we do have a movie for your viewing pleasure.

A greedy man tries over and over to scare his his millionaire wife death in order to get control of her money. Everything things to be coming up roses for your guy when she finally succumbs to mental exhaustion and kills herself. Soon however, his begins to be haunted by her vengeful spirit.

This is one I saw in TV as a kid. It didn’t seem as effective me as the Bava or Hammer stuff, but I liked it them. I hope you have fun with it tonight.

Friday Night Frights! Hatchet for the Honeymoon

Any FNF viewers that follow me in MISO know that I’ve been on a Mario Bava kick for a few days. I’ve been watching Kill, Baby Kill, Black Sunday, Baron Blood and Bay of Blood and really enjoying them. So, I wanted to put up some Bava for you guys to enjoy. The only two of his pics I know of that are public domain are Hatchet for the Honeymoon and Kill, Baby Kill. I’ve had both of these on the site already, but the first time I put up Hatchet, I tried to do a little FNF intro at the start and it messed up the video so that the sound and picture where out of sync. As this is one of my absolute favorite movies from Chiller back when I was a kid, I had to put up a better, non-messed up copy.

The movie itself is a weird little number. It is sort of like a giallo, but you know who the killer is all of the time and it is very much a character study. Also, at about the half-way point it turns into either a ghost story or an account of a crazy man going even crazier. Either way, the whole thing has that great Bava feel. I’m sure you’ll like it.
