- StarsChristopher LeeRoger CormanHugh HefnerClips from Horror Films.DVD Mill Creek Entertainment 3 Disc Set
I'm very excited to get into this set. So far, I'm really enjoying it. This 26 part documentary covers all the classic movie monsters and then some. This TV documentary is hosted by the late great Mr. Christopher Lee. Also, since Christopher Lee is my star of the month, this fits in perfectly with the fall/Halloween season. I love Christopher Lee, when he went to movie heaven a few years ago, his passing really hit me hard. He will forever be my favorite Dracula. I love the sound of his voice, so regal and powerful. I'm watching this as part of my 8th Annual Halloween Film Festival. - StarsRoy Ward BakerCarroll BorlandVeronica CarlsonExamines cinematic portrayals of Bram Stoker's Count Dracula including those of Bela Lugosi, John Carradine, and Christopher Lee.W/S 10/14/2018
Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee, these are the names that come to mind when I picture the monster known as Dracula. However, if I had to pick one, it would undoubtedly be Christopher Lee. His Dracula was more evil, violent and menacing. - StarsRoy Ward BakerRoger CormanRobert Cornthwaite100 Years of Horror looks at vampires and other blood-sucking creatures.W/S 10/14/2018

- StarsTurhan BeyRay BradburyRoger Corman100 Years of Horror takes a close look at movies about ghosts, haunted houses, and the paranormal.W/S 10/17/2018
There weren't too many films about ghosts and haunted houses back in the early days of filmmaking. Studios relied on physical monsters to scare their audiences. These days, movies about paranormal beings, hauntings and spectral apparitions are a dime a dozen. Ghost stories and films about demons are what scare me these days, primarily because I believe in both of them. I have had experiences with ghosts, thankfully, none of them have been of the evil variety. Demons and possessions are something that I never ever want to see or experience first hand. My favorite ghost movies are the original The Haunting, The Legend of Hell House and the original Amityville Horror. As far as recent films go, the first Insidious and very recently Lights Out. Both of these films gave me that feeling of having your skin crawl. Host Christopher Lee tells a brief tale of something that happened to him as a child when his grandmother passed away. - StarsTurhan BeyMichael F.

- StarsJohn AgarWilliam AllandJohn CarradineA look at horror films based on mutants, such as the Creature from the Black Lagoon and the Abominable Snowman.W/S 10/21/2018
What is a mutant? It is a life form that is usually changed into something monstrous by a mad scientist, nuclear fallout or self inflicted experimentation. We've got giant crabs in Attack of the Crab Monsters and Island Claws. Giant humans in Attack of the 50 ft. Woman and The Amazing Colossal Man. Then there's those famous turtles from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that were mutated by that mysterious green ooze. Plant life also gets the treatment in these types of films, such as, The Little Shop of Horrors and The Mutations. This episode covers Yeti and Bigfoot flicks, creatures from outer space and that famous half fish half human monstrosity, Creature from the Black Lagoon. The possibilities are endless when it comes to these kinds of movies. - StarsMichael F. BlakeGary ChaneyRichard E. Cunha100 Years of Horror looks at horror film portrayals of physical deformity including the Hunchback of Notre Dame.W/S 10/21/2018
So, how does a freak differ from a mutant? A freak is a person born with a physical anomaly. These people were often dwarves or individuals born without arms or legs. A perfect example would be Tod Browning's Freaks. Rondo Hatton was often cast as an evil villain because of his misshapened head and face. Once, when I was very young my parents took us to the circus. This is when freak shows were still allowed in the circus. I don't remember everything I saw that day, but the one person I do remember was Sweet Marie. She was a huge lady that must have weighed 600 - 800 lbs. These days midgets are referred to as little people and the term now is 'physically challenged' for people who have some kind of deformity. - StarsChristopher LeeCarroll BorlandRoger Corman100 Years of Horror looks at the female stars of horror cinema including Jamie Lee Curtis and Fay Ray.W/S 10/22/2018

This is the final episode in this wonderful documentary. Ever since I was a small boy, I was fascinated with dinosaurs. They were my favorite plastic toys amongst the giant tin filled with army men, cowboys and Indians, farm animals and a variety of other things. The blue Brontosaurus was my favorite and I wish I still had it. I've seen many of the movies discussed in this episode and it's hard to decide which dinosaur movie is my all time favorite. When I was fairly young, I saw Dinosaurus! late one night on TV. Those colors just popped off the TV screen. Watching it now, the dinosaurs are still colorful, but they're pretty clunky. When I got older, I discovered the dinosaur flicks with sexy cavegirls in fur bikinis. I was about 12 years old when I saw Victoria Vetri as a hot blonde cavegirl in When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth at the drive-in. I still love this movie. I discovered Godzilla on TV and many other Toho giant creatures. This is one genre of film that has never died out. The Jurassic Park films have been going strong since the early 90's. It's the dinosaurs that make those movies. Most of the humans are just plain stupid, especially in the last two Jurassic Park movies. The technology has come quite a long way since the stop-motion dinosaurs of yesteryear. Still, there's a certain charm to the older films that can not be replaced by CGI or any other method that filmmakers may come up with in the future.
