Girls, We Are Going To Abstain This Week, But If You Have Never Seen It, This Film Is Worth A Look!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                      When "Svengoolie" first showed this film awhile back, I was so excited, because I had wanted to see this film since I was a child, when it first came out, in 1961.



                                       Now, having seen it, I dread the opening, which appalled me with its cruelty and sadism.  Two things I don't approve of or even want to see enacted.



                                          For those who should see it, I will say that Oliver Reed, in his first starring role, does the werewolf bit superbly.  And his make-up is the best I have ever seen.  Werewolves should have pointy ears; not even Lon Chaney, Jr. who set the gold standard for werewolves, had pointed ears!!!!!!!!!!!!



                                         The production values are very good--it is Hammer at its period costume best--so there is a lot for viewers who have never seen this to take in.  For me, darlings, once was definitely enough.



                                             I have no idea what we will be watching tonight, but I will be sure to let you know.  Meantime, for first timers, enjoy "The Curse Of The Werewolf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"



                                              What I REALLY want to see is "Werewolf In A Girls' Dormitory."  It would go so well with "Blood Of Dracula," darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
