"...John Carradine is nothing short of fantastic, with his gaunt, angular face like a lightning bolt jutting out of the dark thundercloud of his hair. He effectively walks the balance between a tragic romantic figure and an unforgivable monster..."

"The basic pitch for the film made me wonder if it had some influence (conscious or unconscious) on John Carpenter when he crafted his screenplay for The Fog... if young Carpenter caught The Girl Who Dared on TV as a kid."

William Nigh's BLACK DRAGONS (1942), which turned 84 a few days ago, may hold the distinction of being the most incomprehensible movie ever to emerge from Golden Age Hollywood.

***ANNOUNCEMENT***
Coming on May 12th on Blu-ray in the US from #VCIClassicFilms: #PovertyRow Classics No. 2!
East Side Kids - After being wrongly accused of murder, a group of kids must track down the real killer to prove their innocence.
"The Strangling Ghost (Charles "Ming The Merciless" Middleton), a really frightening blurry, indistinct figure with twin pools of darkness for eyes, keeps busy bumping off everyone connected to his lynching with swamp vine nooses..." boxd.it/dsoakp #FilmSky #horrorsky #PovertyRow #ghoststory
A pair of underachieving 1940s PRC cheapies starring George Zucco, a 108 year old 11 minute Mummy horror comedy, & an early 30s prison escape classic that is still unfortunately all-too-relevant today.

"George Zucco is front and center of another PRC Poverty Row cheapie, but this time in a heroic role... always being the smartest person in the room, dishing out plenty of sardonic asides and standing up for the innocent, a type that Zucco is perfect to play." boxd.it/cZOUnP

"I'll give it one star for the dubious pleasure of witnessing Lugosi acting like an enraged ape and getting into a vocal argument with the "real" gorilla, which is a guy in the same gorilla suit you see in every one of these cheapies of the war years." boxd.it/cKekhJ

"...in a moment that predates John Carpenter by about 40 years, Brooks has a nonchalant phone call talking about how attractive the buried man was... unaware that he is slowly inching his way down the darkened hospital corridor towards her."

"Voodoo Man is exactly the movie you deserve for selecting to watch a movie called Voodoo Man, which may or may not be a recommendation to your ears."

"Hello, Police? I'm calling from the Bela Lugosi home. We-- Say, that's right! We *do* have another unsolved murder here! Third one so far this year. No, we have no idea what happened. That nice Mr Lugosi is very concerned..."

From Poverty Row, an example of how one can make a pretty good little atmospheric spook-story with about 50 cents and a few bologna sandwiches.

With this one, PRC decided nothing succeeds like success and reused the plot to this movie 3 or 4 times over the next few years. In one version, the "devil bat" even became the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl!

Joseph H. Lewis was one of the great b-movie artists of Golden Age Hollywood, a director with an unique visual flair who put his stamp on nearly every genre.

Naja. Charles Bronson prominent auf dem Cover, im Film hat er nur eine Szene & zwei Sätze. Dreist.
Erfreulich: Die Hauptrolle in der Krieg-LoveTriangle-C-Produktion spricht #RainerBrandt.
