Nice Mummy cover 

[1950's war comics]

cool cover reminiscent of "The Creeping Terror" movie 

[tv horror]

 

In honour of the last great Universal monster and the man who played him in the underwater scenes, Ricou Browning. The Creature was a unique character that viewers could empathise with and those underwater scenes were a delight to watch, it was like a ballet and was just as beautiful and the work that went into executing the scene was Ricou's skill as a World class swimmer. He also co-created Flipper and worked on two James Bond movies: Thunderball and Never say never again both starred Sean Connery. 

Get those 3D glasses out!

   

Notice the pose of the Creature it was later used for the Aurora model kit.

We've featured the Creature comics before but who could get tired of looking at them in all their glory.

Darwho?

Of interest have you ever heard of a movie called "The Monkey talks 1927" the make-up for the monkey was done by the legendary Jack Pierce of Universal monster fame. To think that 40 years later John Chambers won an Oscar for his Monkey make-up for Planet of the apes. I consider Pierces work to be superior for its time.

I've never come across this at all. Looks very interesting, was it an early talkie? I always thought that the ape costumes in 2001: A Space Odyssey should have beaten the POTA

I've quickly skimped through this, George Pal's The Time Machine prop is great. Must watch it properly later.

Actually its a Silent movie however it's a very touching story so bring your tissues. The quality is not great on this print but it's worth watching, yes I never skipped to the end I'm a TV and Film historian..

I live near Belfast harbour but that only leads out to the Belfast lough, As for the Beach I was a sand baby the Sea frightened me, also I never learnt how to swim it's the same with cars and roads. One of these days I'm going to have to get therapy for all my phobias.

Even Superman had this problem with the dreaded Nick O'Tine, I still have the stuff you had to send away for from the comics.  Boy was Nick scary! The irony is his name sounds Irish plus I've never smoked in my life, so it must have worked.
