The Japanese never disappoint with the crazy.<BR/><BR/>HONORABLE MENTION:<BR/><I>Taste the Blood...</I>. So hilariously lurid I can't leave it off.<BR/><BR/>5. TIE: <I>Dr. Terror</I> and <I>The Creeping Flesh</I>. Too perfect for luring in twelve-year-olds.<BR/><BR/>4. <I>Rasputin</I>. That is one deeply cool three-color, and the Lee peeking out behind Grigory Yefimovich's beard is great.<BR/><BR/>3. <I>Curse of Frankenstein</I>. Terrific ripoff/<I>homage</I> to Universal horror. The hand is fantastic.<BR/><BR/>2. <I>Fu Manchu</I>. Sure, racist, blah blah blah, but that's a hell of an invocation of Rohmer's works—intrigue, foreign lands, hot chicks in danger! And at least they made Lee actually look reasonably East Asian.<BR/><BR/>1. "Technicolor" <I>Dracula</I>. Vaguely inhuman vampire, call-back to Universal's cobwebby castle, and very-old-school title font and screaming woman in peignoir. That's retro horror graphics, y'all.<BR/><BR/>Awesome Christopher Lee facts:<BR/><BR/>Once hunted down J.R.R. Tolkien in his Oxford local because he and his friends were such crazy <I>Lord of the Rings</I> fans. Has re-read the trilogy every year of his long life at Christmas.<BR/><BR/>Mother was an Italian aristocrat and opera singer.<BR/><BR/>And best: went to Finland as part of a British volunteer group to fight the invading Soviets in the Winter War of 1939-40. Never saw action, though, as he described the Finns were slightly bemused as to what they were doing there, thanked them profusely, then sent them home...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-53269514868067182652008-04-18T14:49:00.000-04:002008-04-18T14:49:00.000-04:00You know I was actually going to go with the "Amaz...You know I was actually going to go with the "Amazing Larry" quote cause it's one of my favorite parts of the movie...actually the whole movie is my favorite part of the movie.
