Rating:  - A Vampire Variation
Evil Dr. Elwyn Clayton has passed on. Well, we sure thought he passed on. After all, there was a funeral, a coffin, which went into the ground, and the relatives divvied up the goodies. You would have thought that evil Dr. Elwyn Clayton was dead. But no, just like any other relative who has overstayed their welcome, Dr. Elwyn Clayton refuses to stay dead. Well, he refuses to stay in the ground. Dr. Elwyn Clayton has decided that he must stay alive...er...undead, and haunt his nice brother Dr. ... Read More
Rating:  - ALPHA DVD VERSION
ZUCCO LIVES!!!...AT LEAST AS A VAMPIRE, FOR A FEW DAYS.
THIS IS A TOP-NOTCH PRC HORROR FILM ABOUT TWIN BROTHERS, ONE GOOD ONE BAD, AND BOTH PLAYED BY GEORGE ZUCCO, WHO HAS, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, ALWAYS ADDED A TOUCH OF CLASS & SOPHISTICATION TO ABYSMAL POVERTY ROW DREK. IN DEAD MEN WALK ZUCCO PLAYS ELWYN CLAYTON, A SORTTA LOVECRAFTIAN TYPE WHO READS MYSTIC BOOKS OF FORBIDDEN LORE AND BECOMES A VAMPIRE AFTER HIS DEATH. ZUCCO IS ALSO DR. LLOYD CLAYTON, RESPONSIBLE FOR ELWLN'S DEATH & NOW ... Read More
Rating: - 1940's Horror B Feature Flick
Once upon a time, it was common for movie theaters to have Saturday matinees which consisted of 90 minute programs. Each program would include a cartoon or two, one or two short films, a chapter in a serial and the like. The centerpiece of the program would be a "feature" flick that was only about an hour or so long. These shows were always low budget B movies. One such B movie is the horror flick at hand, 1943's Dead Men Walk.
Dead Men Walk, which is set in the days of the Model T, opens ... Read More
Rating: - They Don't Make 'em Like This Anymore
This is worth watching as a great example of a B horror flick from the Forties.
The star, George Zucco, is NOT what we now expect in a leading man. He looks like a banker, not a vampire. (Now that I think about it... maybe that look is more appropriate than I initially thought.)
It's not a great movie, but it's not that bad. It's pretty slow moving. The guy who is the love interest of the heroine looks like a missing Marx brother.
Best of all is Dwight Frye, who ... Read More
Rating: - Zucco shines in this refreshingly different kind of vampire film
I'm a big George Zucco fan. Zucco brought class and a unique presence to many a B movie of the 1930s and 1940s, and Dead Men Walk actually gives you two George Zuccos for the price of one. Yes, Zucco stars in a dual role as the kindly Dr. Lloyd Clayton and his evil brother Elwyn. Some accuse Zucco of being too theatrical, but I think his performance is basically that of a consummate stage actor who just happens to be working in film. His manner and aristocratic voice inspire confidence in the viewer ... Read More
