Frogs (1972)

🎃 Horrorthon 2022 #2 🔥 50th Anniversary

There was a time, at the turn of the century, before streaming content, when the drugstore would sell vintage horror DVDs for $3 apc at the checkout counter. This was how I discovered gems like Carnival of Souls, Horror Express, and House of Exorcism, but it's also how I came to own a copy of the schlock flop Frogs.

Wealthy elites of the 1970's menaced... approached... and somehow murdered... by snakes, spiders, lizards, various other swampy creatures, and (eventually) FROGS!

It's so bad. 😆 Other than Ray Milland, the lovely Judy Pace, and a young, moustacheless Sam Elliott, the acting is garbage. The deaths are bumbling and absurd. The cinematography is LOL. Needless to say, not gonna keep this DVD around taking up space any longer.

The version I watched on Amazon must be recently restored (says released 2018), looks great. (can't speak for the free YouTube version, tho)

Horror Express (1972)

🎃 Horrorthon 2018 #4

Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing and Telly Savalas, oh my! This is one of my personal faves -- an underappreciated gem of classic sci-fi horror. Excellent cast, some great one-liners sprinkled throughout, solid practical effects/makeup, and a surprise twist at the end!
