Cozzoli From Professor Kinema... He was the one person who instilled my personal interest in the Cinema. I had the extreme pleasure to meet him on several occasions. I even got to interview him. The results of the interview morphed into five Professor Kinema shows. In just about all interviews he's had, he always related the story of how the direction of his life was truly altered when he attended his first theater showing of King Kong in 1933. As a kid, I underwent a similar life and career revellation when I caught my first screening of The Seventh Voyage of...<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/xBVu?a=A3o1yYAQXUU:pelf_3U_R3o:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/xBVu?i=A3o1yYAQXUU:pelf_3U_R3o:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/xBVu?a=A3o1yYAQXUU:pelf_3U_R3o:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/xBVu?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/xBVu?a=A3o1yYAQXUU:pelf_3U_R3o:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/xBVu?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/xBVu/~4/A3o1yYAQXUU" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.zomboscloset.com/zombos_closet_of_horror_b/2013/05/professor-kinema-on-ray-harryhausen.html tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00d83451d04569e2017eeb430d88970d 2013-05-17T10:00:00-04:00 2013-05-17T10:00:00-04:00 John M.

Cozzoli Atom Age Vampire (1960): a stripper, a scientist, an accident, and much mayhem ensues. The Italian horror movies of the 1960s are a hoot. This Mexican lobby card is particularly well organized, giving us a feeling of terror that rises above the level it has in the movie.<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/xBVu?a=Gf9UFmlk0mw:fxfJmZ4TrIo:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/xBVu?i=Gf9UFmlk0mw:fxfJmZ4TrIo:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/xBVu?a=Gf9UFmlk0mw:fxfJmZ4TrIo:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/xBVu?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/xBVu?a=Gf9UFmlk0mw:fxfJmZ4TrIo:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/xBVu?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/xBVu/~4/Gf9UFmlk0mw" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.zomboscloset.com/zombos_closet_of_horror_b/2013/05/seddok-el-heredero-del-diablo.html tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00d83451d04569e201901c3dbde3970b 2013-05-16T09:00:00-04:00 2013-05-16T07:03:13-04:00 John M. Cozzoli Apes and blonds are an oddity of plot dynamics in horror movies in the 1940s through 1960s. I have no expert opinion to give as to why: just accept it. Hillbillys in a Haunted House (1967) also has John Carradine, Basil Rathbone, Lon Chaney Jr., and music. Let the mirth begin. This is one of those movies you just itch like crazy to see. I have no explanation for that, either.<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/xBVu?a=faK33PdDq7M:_q0Fn6Guc48:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/xBVu?i=faK33PdDq7M:_q0Fn6Guc48:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/xBVu?a=faK33PdDq7M:_q0Fn6Guc48:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/xBVu?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/xBVu?a=faK33PdDq7M:_q0Fn6Guc48:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/xBVu?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/xBVu/~4/faK33PdDq7M" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.zomboscloset.com/zombos_closet_of_horror_b/2013/05/hillbillys-in-a-haunted-house-pressbook.html
