Creators:
Milt Josefsberg Ray Singer

Stars: Lucille Ball Gale Gordon Lucie Arnaz

Lucy has the winning bid on a painting at an auction and asks Vincent Price to appraise it for her. Lucy suspects it may have great value. Remembering that former client Vincent Price is a collector, Lucy calls on him for consultation. Vincent mistakes Lucy for an actress in his new horror movie and proceeds to rehearse a scene in his newly created evil laboratory.

Being a fan of I Love Lucy I knew this show existed but never really watched it. This time around Here's Lucy stars Lucille Ball and her long-time partner Gale Gordon and her real-life children Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr. It was broadcast on CBS from 1968 to 1974. So Needless to say I was quite young when this was on. I was delighted to see a Halloween style episode starring Vincent Price to use as my springboard.

Writers: Corey Allen, Frances Doel

Stars:
Rock Hudson
Mia Farrow

Synopsis: The vacationers at a winter wonderland struggle to survive after an avalanche of snow crashes into their ski resort. Their holiday then turns into a game of survival.

If this is your first trip to the Cave welcome and thanks for joining me during the Rock Hudson Blogathon hosted by Love Letters to Old Hollywood and In The Good Old Days Of Classic Hollywood. Pop some corn grab the sno caps and a cold Coke lets talk Roger Corman's big-budget flop Avalanche.

With Corman getting a huge budget of 6.5 million dollars to do an action drama with a few big names you just can't miss right? Wrong, sadly Corey Allen who has well over 80 credit's to his name struggles to make a jump from the small screen to the big one. Avalanche comes hot off the heels of the disaster movies of the 70's but feels better sui…

Director: Tyler Perry
Writer: Tyler Perry
Stars: Tyler Perry Cassi Davis Patrice Lovely

Synopsis: Madea, Bam, and Hattie venture to a haunted campground and the group must run for their lives when monsters, goblins, and the boogeyman are unleashed.
Just one year earlier Boo! A Madea Halloween blew me away. It was a laugh a minute good time so does a sequel hold up? The simple answer...NO!
You’re going to Madea’s house to laugh, forget your troubles and perhaps enjoy some good old family value's in its message. And the lesson is still there, in fact, its the base of the story when his freshly turned 18-year-old daughter all of a sudden wants to grow up she turns to the fun parent in the divorce. We all know how that works we see it in our day to day life. But after that, the story really stretches to hold together. At times they would start a joke that would then lingers for what feels like an eternity. And …

Super Monsters

Super Monsters Save Halloween
2018 | Color | 24 Minutes | G | Family | Netflix

Stars:
Elyse Maloway
Erin Matthews
Vincent Tong
Synopsis: The Super Monsters use their powers to get their neighbors in the Halloween spirit, then help a nervous friend see there's nothing to be afraid of.

Everybody's favorite holiday might be Halloween, but when you’ve got young children, that’s not usually the case. Sure, kindergarteners love treats, but not all of them love tricks ⏤ and they certainly don’t love masks covered in blood or zombies emerging from the grave. I remember when my girls were growing up it was all about Wonder Pet's, Yo Gabba Gabba, and Elmo when it came to a safe Halloween special to watch with them (and we still watch today). And we loved every one of them so would Netflix Super Monsters Save Halloween fill the same bill?

The premise is relatively simple: all of the small children are ware-monsters of a kind; they look human during the day and become “super monsters…

They're coming for you!

In Screamarama

Tingler
1959 | 1Hr. 22Min. | NA | Horror | Columbia Pictures

Director: William Castle

Writer: Robb White

Stars: Vincent Price Judith Evelyn Darryl Hickman

Dr. Warren Chapin is a pathologist who regularly conducts autopsies on executed prisoners at the State prison. He has a theory that fear is the result of a creature that inhabits all of us. His theory is that the creature is suppressed by our ability to scream when fear strikes us. He gets a chance to test his theories when he meets Ollie and Martha Higgins, who own and operate a second-run movie theater. Martha is deaf and mute and if she is unable to scream, extreme fear should make the creature, which Chapin has called the Tingler, come to life and grow. Using LSD to induce nightmares, he begins his experiment.

The Tingler is one of my all-time favorite Castle and Price movies! Talk about the cheesy fun that is well acted and silly enough to have fun with it. This film is listed among The 100 Most Amusingly Bad Movies Ever Made i…
