FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN / Universal Pictures - 1943

I have quite a few Universal Legacy collection movies left to post, sooooo, here's one I used to see back in the late fifties, I'd go next door to our neighbor's house every Friday night to watch the local fright night show at 11 pm. We loved the old Universal movies the most. This story's all about two of our favorite monsters, after being awakened in his coffin by two grave robbers, Larry Talbot discovers the Frankenstein Monster in a a block of ice. Larry changes into the Wolf Man and battles Frankie in the climax.

I have a sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our Universal monster models, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula!.. Here's a sample from... FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN!

Larry's laying in his coffin, two grave robbers open it up and the moonlight wakes him up, and, he's in a really grumpy mood!

Patric Knowles plays Dr. Mannering, he finds Larry and is trying to help him.

But, Larry's damned curse follows him everywhere he goes. He transforms into the Wolf Man again and escapes out the open window, death is in the air...

He finds Maleva and decides to travel with her to avoid being detected by authorities.

Larry transforms again and a crowd of angry locals are chasing him. He runs into an ice cave to evade the mob. There, he finds the Frankenstein Monster asleep in a hunk of ice and digs him out.

Larry is looking for Victor Frankenstein's book of notes about bringing the dead back to life, but, no go. He takes the monster with him to Dr. Mannering, who is engaged to Baroness Elsa Frankenstein. She knows where the book is kept and gives it to the doctor.

Mannering starts restoring the lab back to working order, he can't wait to test it out.

Love this shot of Baroness Frankenstein trying to sleep in a tore up old room in the castle.

The doctor is trying to help both Larry and the monster, here, they're getting their juice!

Of course, things go haywire and the monsters start battling it out, it's a pretty even match. Great shot of Bela Lugosi as good old Frankie.

Anyway, some dude blows up the dam and game over, man! The castle is completely destroyed, a set up for more of our pals in the future!! Okay, so, Eegah!! is here again on Wednesday for more from... The Dungeon!!

THREE LITTLE BEERS - The Three Stooges" (1935)

Three of my favourite things, Stooges, Beer, and Golf, how can you go wrong?

Like it really matters to anybody, but I'm moving, and am going to be real busy for the next couple of months, so it might be all short features from me for a while, and this is as good of a place as any to start!

I'm pretty sure I probably saw every Three Stooges episode as a kid, but over the last few months I've developed a new found appreciation for these idiots!
"Three Little Beers" is a perfect example!

Our trio of heroes have got themselves a temporary job at the Panther Brewing Company, and they discover the company is putting on a golf tournament with some pretty hefty prizes!

At least they are sober, it's hard to imagine how these three would act if they had been drinking!

Their job is to deliver the beer to the golf tournament!

After unsuccessfully trying to get in, they notice that the press is granted free access, so they come up with these press credentials to get in the door. For obvious reasons, Curley's doesn't quite work, so they just make a mad dash inside!

These country club members find themselves without any clothes to change into..........

..............And this is the reason why!!! Nice fit!

I'm not sure if in 1935 anybody who was really fond of the game of golf would have much appreciation for this featurette as the guys proceed to not only break every rule in the book, but to almost totally destroy the Rancho Park Golf Club! To set the pace, first off, they start on the last hole!

The Three Stooges are always loud, obnoxious, and boisterous, but it's even more pronounced on the golf course where the decorum is to be courteous and quiet!

Moe tries a few practice shots to warm up for the tournament.......

.........With predictable results!

Each one of the boys has his own way of dealing with trouble on the course! 

OUCH!!!

Finally, the groundskeepers can't take it any more, and call the cops!

I don't think you'll ever see this poster hanging anywhere near Augusta, Pebble Beach, or Sawgrass, but if you're like me, it's hanging in the walkway to the bathroom at your local course where hacks are always welcome to flail away with abandon, and just maybe enjoy this ridiculous game the way it's meant to be, drunk and disorderly!

CHILD'S PLAY / United Artists - 1988

Here's another movie lord Litter likes to watch over and over... This one's about a single mom who gives her son a much sought after doll for his birthday, only to discover that it is possessed by the soul of a serial killer!! Just the way we like 'em! Filmed in Chicago.

I have a sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our killer doll collection, NOW, Rufus The Gnat!.. Here's some... CHILD'S PLAY!

Here's Charles Lee Ray trying to escape from policeman Mike Norris in a toy store, he puts his soul into a doll named, what else, Chucky.

This is Karen Barclay, she needs a present for her son, Andy, for his birthday...

Andy takes Chucky with him wherever he goes, and, I think this little kid has a big problem.

Andy has told his mom that Chucky talks to him, so, she opens up the battery compartment only to find the damn thing empty... WTF!! Then, he attacks her, as heard in the sound clip.

Next, Chucky hides in the car of copper Norris and tries to strangle him as he drives out of control through the city streets. He also stabs his sharp knife through the driver's seat.

SURPRISE!!! Andy fights back.

Mom tosses Chucky into the fireplace, hoping that will bring the nightmare to an end...

But, the little shit ain't going down that easy!!

Hi, I'm Chucky... Wanna Play?!!..
