  2. Finally got to watching this one last year, absolutely fantastic. Even knowing it was an influence, actually seeing the scene was lots of fun.

  3. Yes My cousin Gonzalo modeled his character after Dr Scarabus! This certainly brings back fun memories!

  4. The confetti's a nice touch. Vincent always was a class act.

  5. Full movie's on youtube. 85 minutes well spent. Thanks for the reminder it existed, haven't watched that one since the 80s.

  8. I was hoping for some Harryhausen action there with the gargoyles, but given the budget, the puppies were a nice touch.

    1. It is a Corman film, after all. One of his better ones IMO, but finding the budget for better SFX on top of getting the three leads on board is asking a lot from him. Heck, I'm halfway surprised they could afford a real raven.

    2. I thought the same thing while watching it. I think I even would have preferred some campy, 60's zooming in and out on the gargoyles to convey imminent threat.
