Horror Shockers -- Trog -- October 21, 2021


Vampirella 30, 1974

Halloween is coming. 

When I was young, I read Warren Publishing magazines like Famous Monsters of Filmland and Vampirella. The magazines always carried ads for back issues, posters and movies. I didn't have a film projector, so I read the ads with envy. Eventually, I got a Super-8 projector, but I didn't have enough money to buy any of these films. A friend had Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein and I was fascinated by the way it had been cut down to less than 20 minutes.

This ad features Bela Lugosi in The Return of the Vampire, Invisible Ghost, and The Human Monster.; Christoper Lee in Taste the Blood of Dracula; Joan Crawford in Trog; FW Murnau's Noseratu with Max Schreck (I don't know why the title is changed to Terror of Dracula);

Grauman's Chinese #35 -- February 25, 2014


In July, 2012 we paid a return visit to Hollywood and Grauman's Chinese Theater.  Sid Grauman was a San Francisco showman who came to Los Angeles and built three major houses, the Million Dollar, the Egyptian, and the Chinese. The theater has hosted many film premieres, but is most famous for the hand and footprints (and hoofprints and nose prints and other types of prints) in the forecourt.

Joan Crawford left her hand and footprints in the forecourt on 14-September-1929.  Among the movies in which she appeared that year was Our Modern Maidens.  (31/DSC_0050.JPG)
