The one knot is that real horror has exceeded movie horror, which is a good point. What I question is if it is enough. I love the two stories and I love how real an detached they feel, this is very modern filmmaking. They just feel too separate for me.

I highly recommend Bogdanavich's commentary on it if you are able to find it. He was working for Roger Corman and had a very minuscule budget. He also had the footage from the Karloff film The Terror, which he cleverly worked into the film. I think necessity was the mother of invention here as Bogdanavich came up with the drive-in sequence which is still horrifying. And since I'm an old Karloff fan, it's great to see the later Karloff in something that isn't campy. I think the two stories mesh wonderfully. I think that's the whole point. And the part where he says something to the effect of why would people be afraid of an old bogeyman when there is so much real horror in the world really strikes home. 1001: A Film Odyssey is produced, directed and written by Chris, a librarian.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04803620768028761898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-77979993784611298892019-09-19T13:10:28.648+03:002019-09-19T13:10:28.648+03:00Yeah.

I feel the two stories needed to combine better than they did.

He would get better.marie_dresslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334550550983418668noreply@blogger.com
