If we all liked exactly the same things, what a dull world this would be. ;) With that said, I agree with you about The Werewolf. It surprised me with its moody, noir-ish charms. And Moon of the Wolf was a big discovery for me. Fun stuff! Thanks for stopping by, Brian!

I love how the supernatural monsters of the '40s became misbegotten products of mad science in the Atom-age '50s, and despite its flaws, The Werewolf is one of my favorites (that one pairs nicely with John Beal's The Vampire from '57). I was a little surprised to see Moon of the Wolf leading the pack with 3 1/2 stars, but then I haven't seen it in years. Fortunately, it's readily available for streaming. I was also a little surprised at the middling review of Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, but then, complete agreement is so boring! Being one of my childhood favorites, I've always excused its deficiencies, but for me it redeems itself with one of the better openings in the whole '40s Universal cycle, and the historical interest of Lugosi finally portraying the monster. And I smile every time at that musical sequence! :)Brian Schuckhttps://www.filmsfrombeyond.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463671176628323648.post-18536324075044470162022-09-11T16:31:30.842-07:002022-09-11T16:31:30.842-07:00Thanks so much, John! I'm glad you enjoyed Moo...Thanks so much, John! I'm glad you enjoyed Moon of the Wolf as well. It really stood out, this month. As far as I Was a Teenage Werewolf goes, I'm equally baffled why it's not available on home video. Perhaps it's stuck in Copyright Limbo? <br /><br />I would love to read your take on the The Rats are Coming! Milligan can be a hard pill to swallow sometimes, but I keep going back to his movies, like a moth drawn to flame.

Seriously, how has that not happened? <br /><br />Oh, and I am not the least bit surprised over your review of Andy Milligan's the rats are coming! The werewolves are here! One day I will have to do a review because it is a complicated film for me, a lot like most of Andy's films. John L.
