Dark Star has one the best endings in any film ever too.


I just watched the Blood on Satan's Claw for the first time. Wow. That sure was something.

I love Blood on Satan's Claw - great film.
The Devil Rides Out is my favourite Hammer Film.Fantastic score too.
The Goat of Mendes terrified me as a kid.

The Voices. Ryan Reynolds plays a man with unspecified mental problems who starts murdering people when he comes off his meds and hears his dog and cat talking to him. This is supposed to be a comedy but I don't recall laughing once.

Did you ever see him in The Nines?

That was pretty damn good. Or I remember enjoying it at least.

Wrong thread. Thought this was the WMDYWLN thread. BUt yeah, i don't mind him generally, this just had a shit script. He's actually very good in it.

Watching this right now. Imdb informs me that Eddie Powell played The Goat of Mendes and he was also the alien in Alien!

 

[nooleen]

i thought some 7-foot nigerian lad was the alien in alien

 

[therealjohnny]

Maybe he was in the sequels?

 

[nooleen]

here he is having a laugh with HR giger on the set of alien

The Life of Bolaji Badejo | Strange Shapes

it sounds like eddie powell did the stunts so i guess this lad did...non-stunt business

 

[therealjohnny]

Must've used both of them

I love how amused he is by the black mass

I watched it a few days ago there is well known quote in it by Aleister Crowley it is part of Mocata's dialogue before he hypnotises Mrs Eaton Wheatley said he met Crowley once. I have one or two versions of the book that Van Ryn and de Richleau find when they return to the observatory the clavicle or key of Solomon the title is sometimes given to two seperate works though.

The sheepish grin

I love how this is actually a real thing. Lends all the shenanigans a little credence.

I watched The Witches after this. Interesting to see some of the same actors. The Countess with the cigar is Granny Rigg and the demon that appears in the observatory is one of the helpers in Africa.

As I mentioned before, PRIMA is just as expensive as it sounds. The equipment alone runs $35,000 — yes, "35" followed by three zeroes — and the movies are $500 each (some indie titles cost less). There’s no way to buy movies through the system, it’s rental only. The good news is that there’s no subscription fee once you get started, but new users are required to pay for ten movies ($5,000) upfront just to establish a relationship with PRIMA and make sure that everything is working correctly.

Has anyone read any of the other Duc de Richleau novels - I know a couple of them involve the Occult. I wonder why so little Dennis Wheatley was put on film? I know there is a version of The Haunting of Toby Jugg but I have never seen. And of course, To the Devil a Daughter.

I'm reading Strange Conflict right now. The Duke battling Nazi spies on the Astral Plane.
It's great. The upper class stoically keeping the routine of visiting their clubs for drinks while the Blitz goes on all around them.
