…because, well, how would you tell the difference anyway? Nevertheless, this particular crop of reviews accidentally ended up being pretty close to a normal person’s idea of what might be appropriate to the season:
Count Dracula (1970), in which Harry Alan Towers and Jesus Franco try to con us all into believing they’ve made the Most Faithful Dracula Movie Ever, but the only person they fool is Christopher Lee…
House of the Long Shadows (1983), in which the surviving Horror Geezers gather in a spooky old house to be stalked-and-slashed like a pack of horny teenagers…
The Living Skeleton (1968), in which we begin with watery ghosts, but end with sheer madness…
and…
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (1968), in which Jack Palance sucks even worse than usual, but strangely doesn’t hurt the movie much by doing so.
El Santo rules the wasteland-- and also 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting.

Good reviews as always! From your last hint, I was torn 50-50 between The Bloody Judge and Count Dracula; then I saw that you had already covered the former so only the latter option was left.
I guess you will be tackling the newest Halloween series in the next updates. I don’t know if you accept requests or not but once you are done with the whole Halloween series, you might think about taking a stab at the Nightmare on Elm Street remake with Jackie Earle Haley. As far as I know it is the only entry from that series which you have not written up so far.

I’ll co-sign the above comment. I’ve been anxious to read your thoughts of the recent 3 Halloween films but a review of the Elm Street remake would be great as well. That movie needs a good thrashing!
