Something my husband and I enjoy is just scrolling through the absolutely batshit horror movies (especially from the 60s) on Amazon Prime and reading the titles in an old timey radio announcer voice, because it's hilarious once you say shit like THE TORTURE CHAMBER OF DOCTOR SADISM or SATAN'S TRIANGLE but I've found a new favorite and it's not even old:

The runner up for the night was Frightvision, not for the title but for the summary revealing that it's an anthology hosted by Dr. Boobenstein

Die Schlangengrube und das Pendel (The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism, 1967)

"I'm already dead, hanged. Yes, I was hanged. Your body soon adapts a resistance to bullets."

"But, sir, I've not done anything wrong!"

"Of course not. All you did was shoot me somewhat."

Bosch stype frescos‚ rich colourful tableaux‚ dripping gothic atmosphere.. on vibes alone this is a real winner #Lee is high in the credits of course but only really has an extended cameo (this being during his sojourn to europe to escape Hammer for a #while‚ only to end up making even cheaper Hammer alikes for the Germans and Italians). the plot is all Corman Poe cycle‚ loosely inspired #by the works of Poe‚ but with its own nearly wholesome adventuring bent. benefits from having genuinely likeable and compelling characters #upfront (Medar is a consistent scene stealer as a highway robber who gets unwillingly pulled into the gothic shenanigans and becomes a #reluctant heroic accomplice). some startling imagery and a few choice pearls of dialogue too. much better than it would look on paper #definitely one of the better examples of euro schlock from this era‚ and among the best Lee was involved in

BLOGTOBER 10/25/2023: THE BLOOD DEMON aka THE CRIMSON DEMON aka THE SNAKE PIT AND THE PENDULUM aka CASTLE OF THE WALKING DEAD aka THE TORTURE CHAMBER OF DR. SADISM

I definitely watched this vaguely Poe-derived movie, but I don't know if I can tell you almost anything about it. It's only 81 minutes long, but the credits play over an astoundingly protracted scene of characters moseying down a seemingly endless hallway, and that's when I said to myself, "Uh oh." And indeed, a gigantic amount of this film is just traveling: characters walk, ride horses, or take carriages across the endless empty gulfs between scenes of stuff actually happening. Whatever Lex Baxter's charms might be, they're not on display here, and Christopher Lee isn't around enough to cover for him. And speaking of Christopher Lee, I just never got over the fact that the name "Count Regula" is not supposed to be funny. The movie is visually stimulating on occasion--I mean who doesn't love a good corpse forest? But then you're let down when the carriage driver just vaguely saying the woods are spooky and not AMAZINGLY FULL OF DANGLING BODY PARTS. This is one of the few movies that I'm actually glad I selected for what turned out to be this speed run of Blogtober, because I can't imagine coming up with a feature-length review of it! The nicest thing I have to say is, THE TORTURE CHAMBER OF DR. SADISM is a really great title.

i dearly hope dracula daily will lead more people to share my interest in terrible franken-drac 60s hammer-adjacent horror movies. mel brooks' young frankenstein despite being a parody is a good overview of the genre (it's a frankenstein story set in transylvania!!! what more could you want!!). other recommendations include

the creeping flesh

the torture chamber of dr sadism

blacula

the crypt of the vampire

dracula a.d. 1972

the blood beast terror

transylvania 6-5000

dr blood's coffin

the house that dripped blood

i swear to god these are all real movies

yes blacula is exactly what you think it is

and there's a sequel

#cinema #dracula #dracula daily #frankenstein #peter cushing #youll never be able to look at grand moff tarkin with a straight face again! #same goes for christopher lee #cant watch lotr without giggling about his Death By Wetness a la wicked witch of the west in the torture chamber of dr sadism

There’s no possible way the movie can live up to his title (and I probably wouldn’t watch it if it did) but a streaming service just recommended me something called The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism.
