Been having a great time with old Halloween movie ads over at my other place, The Hannibal 8. When I came across this one, featuring one of the only Westerns you might find running on Halloween, it made sense to share it here.
Edward Dein’s Curse Of The Undead (1959) is a vampire Western from Universal International that’s a far better movie than you’d expect. That’s largely due to the performances of Michael Pate and Kathleen Crowley, who don’t look down at the material but do their best to put it over.
Padding out the program in Auburn, Alabama that night are two terrific Hammer films, Brides Of Dracula (1961) and The Mummy (1959). This is about the only way I’d ever be able to get the great Peter Cushing in this blog. It’s also the first time we’ve featured anything about a pie-eating contest.
Happy Halloween, y’all. And save me some Raisinets!
