Title card for the 1940 Boris Karloff movie, THE APE. A ridiculous weirdly I forgot I'd already seen but I couldn't remember anything but the ridiculous high concept, silly enough to be a Bela Lugosi flick.
Title for the 1959 German movie THE HEAD, at least that's the title for the dubbed U.S. release. Nutty mad scientist medical shenanigans, decapitated heads kept alive and a head put on a stripper's body. Mein Gotta and all that. I think this came out the same year as THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE, which has an angry lady's decapitated head on a tray. Good dopey Double Feature material.
Title for the 1964 Bela Lugosi movie, VOODOO MAN, an entertaining mess with John Carradine seemingly enjoying playing an addle-pated henchman to Bela's mad scientist and George Zucco's gas station owner / voodoo priest. It's the "abduct attractive women to aid warped attempts to resurrect a mad doctor's dead wife". A trope I enjoy, along with abducting attractive women to provide body parts and / or bodily fluids to repair or replace ruined features or anatomical aspects of beloved wife or daughter. VOODOO MAN is worth a few cheap laughs, mostly at the three top.billed actor's expense.
Title for the 1939 Bela Lugosi movie THE HUMAN MONSTER. This UK production is based on an Edgar Wallace book so if you go in expecting unbelievable contrivances and goofy plotting, you won't be disappointed. Even so, Bela is in good form and there's a good amount of crazy stuff happening throughout this thing, all of which moves along pretty quickly. I enjoyed it more than I expected. For fans of old, creaky horror and insurance fraud.
Tonight's Quadruple Feature. More information in the alt text, if you care.
