Taking the husband and the bestie to a screening of The Old Dark House (1932, James Whale) tonight. Excited, but it's at a venue where you can bring snacks and I'm mad at myself for not cooking up a bunch of potatoes to pass around (IYKYK).
Lizzie Bordon Pt 2, which is long gone, but once stood a mere half mile from the house we live in now.
It's a must-watch in my book, a great double-feature with Curse, and a beautiful sophomore offering for one of my favorite villains ever.
This is going to be fun!
Revenge picks up immediately where Curse left off and we see how Hammer will create the series by following Frankenstein himself rather than the original creature. Cushing hits a real stride here as the indomitable baron continues in his quest for scientific achievement, no matter the cost!
We filled our house with amazing queer friends this weekend for fun and flaming cheese, 72-hour short ribs and miso cod, three kinds of sake, six kinds of coffee, and a screening of this fabulous favorite of my childhood. Hollywood is one of my first queer heroes!
Hey, what about those Hammer Frankenstein films? Well, I'm glad you asked. The second entry is Revenge of Frankenstein (Fisher, 1958) and it competes with Curse for series favorite in my book!
Notably, Mannequin was also recently covered by @peacheschrist.com and @michaelvarrati.bsky.social on the @midnightmasspod.bsky.social
I recommend watching, reading, and listening! An interesting double feature with Xanadu or Weird Science? (Very different thesis statements depending on which...)
And as with Curse, you can find excellent in-depth commentary on Revenge of Frankenstein from @househammerpod.bsky.social and the Hammer Time podcast with @bunnydarke.bsky.social and @eofftv.bsky.social highly recommend!
