Customer Reviews

A series of film clips and sound bites.

This is an interesting (1996) series broken down into 26 episodes. It has been reorganized into a shorter number of episodes. In this Ted Newson documentary, it is divided into subjects that overlap, as you find out when you try to shelve the DVDs. Such as Dracula and His Disciples, Frankenstein's Friends, Girl Ghouls, etc… Narrated by Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee (1922-2015), you may remember him in “The Stupids” (1996) as Evil Sender as mail is posted return to Sender. I learned a lot about missing and overlooked films from the clips and interviewees. I will not go through a list, as that is why you will be watching this. However, in one of the first episodes, they showed a clip of “Drácula” (1931), the Spanish version with Carlos Villarías(1892-1976); Carlos looks just like Nicolas Cage in “Renfield” (2023). If you stick with this presentation, you will notice that many of the clips are repeated. You may also notice that the movies are selective and may not include your favorites. Still, you cannot have everything in the limited time available. They did take the time to mention many of the TV shows, and not just movies. Hopefully, someone will pick up the gauntlet and make an UpToDate version.
