Surprised that Mark didn't mention that the director was William "One Shot" Beaudine, who directed more B movies than anyone else in history. My favorite Beaudine story was when he was directing a Bowery Boys movie and the studio was telling him to hurry it up; he said "you'd think someone was waiting to see this!"
@@zerocooler7 Wow! I never thought of this as a "shared cultural experience" but there it is! The excitement of being 12-15 in a pre-internet porn world and finding some old, weatherbeaten magazines (or ragged "pieces" of magazines) under a bridge. Shoving them under your shirt and run home to... Well, you know. The musty smell? I'm tearing up, man. 😉😁
It’s one thing to compliment Mark’s ability to seamlessly insert himself into the movie, but to match the bright red ascot? It puts his work at a whole other level.
I thought the fist fight between Billy and the ranch-hand, Dan Thorpe, was very well done so I checked out the background of the two actors. One was a stunt man and the other was Kurt Russell's dad.
15:43 I love that jingle! “The best part of wakin’ up, is a FanboyFlicks Weird Movies with Mark new video for Patreon members notification, when you’re having a bad day and everything sucks… in your cup.” Fun Fact: I did graphic design work for Folgers Coffee years ago.
At this point in time Mr. Carradine had a large family with lots of kids who in turn gave John lots of grandkids. He probably did this film to pay for Christmas that year.
Mark, I don't know how to make requests but the next Neil Breen film has been released, and your Neil Breen reviews (or whatever these videos are called) are the gold standard and are by far, the best on the internet, at covering his films. Please, please, please 🙏 make one as soon as possible. Cade: The Tortured Crossing looks to be a sequel of sorts and a film in the same vein and just as awesome as his previous films. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say, we need your take on his newest masterpiece asap.
There is a low budget ripoff of that by Maverick Flims (I think it is) called Abrahman Lincoln vs. Zombies. The special effects are pretty terrible, but I think they did a decent job with the story, as far fetched as it was.
Wouldn't be the first time I've seen Dracula in a different genre. In the early 70s, Hammer productions and the Shaw Bros teamed up to produce The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires in which Van Helsing & his son team-up with a clan of shaolin monks to slay Dracula and his army of Jiangshi (Chinese hopping vampires).
Even though I've seen your new video two days ago I couldn't miss the official release. Knowing that lots of people from all over the world have been waiting for this and are now watching your latest piece of art at the same time feels like watching it together with a pretty cool family 😁.
To give Dracula some credit, in the future when people ask where he rose his undead bride, saying an abandoned silver mine is way cooler then saying an old farmhouse.
I reckon the "traveling at night" line was added because they shot during the day, rather than something they neglected to take out. And since it wasn't post 1973 (when day for night became a thing), the conversation would be more akin to: "Hey, guys, you know Dracula can't stand sunlight, right?" "Well, guess we'll just add a line here about it being night."
Actor John Carradine holds 351 film and television credits, especially in tons of low-budget horror movies. Frankly, I thought the number would be higher because he was so prolific and one of his best later roles was voicing the Great Owl in Don Bluth's 'The Secret of NIMH' (1982). :)
This film was directed by William Beaudine who was famous for churning out movies as quickly and cheaply as possible and made something like 360 films in his career.
There’s a great book out about director William “one shot” Beaudine (From Silents to Television) that paints him as a pretty cool guy who directed A TON of films and tv. He apparently loved his job and yes, a lot of it stinks.
The Folger's coffee lady was recognizable for many roles in '60s TV westerns. And I recognized the real Mrs. Olsen too (the old woman in the stagecoach) for her speaking role as a member of the River City Woman's Auxilliary of the 1960 musical THE MUSIC MAN. So the production had to have had something going for it to have attracted name actors to do this turkey. It certainly couldn't have been the script or its ridiculous concept. Were they doing someone a favor, or was it just the paycheck? Or maybe it was just a part that was indistinguishable from the other 60s TV western schlock they were accustomed to being booked for.
I dont know how drac couldve calmed down seeing that beauty queen in that folding picture!!🤷♂️🤷♂️😆😆 Also, back then nobody had to justify their prejudices!! I just dont want weird flowers on my window and thats the end of it lady!!😆😆
Just a thought: given what Google AI thinks George Washington and the founding fathers look like, it's entirely possible the old lady used it to find wolfsbane...
I don't know, their supposed wolfsbane looks suspiciously like mature Physalis alkekengi. And even if they had used the correct plant, they would have gotten their mythology wrong. Wolfsbane, scientifically known as Aconitum lycoctonum or Aconitum vulparia (foxbane), is a dangerously poisonous plant that has been used since ancient times to kill wolves and other predators who treaten livestock, hence the name. The plant said to ward off evil is the related but distinct Aconitum napellus, more commonly known as monkshood. But both plants are believed to have been used by medieval European witches to get high though, so there's that.
I'm curious when in his career he made that statement about regretting *this* movie, since it's up against stuff like Vampire Hookers and that 'The power! The power!' Frankenstein movie...
I’ve been bedridden with Covid since Wednesday- everything hurts and nothing is comfortable. This video was MUCH needed. Thank you for doing by what you do.
I laughed out loud violently for 3 straight minutes when I saw your picture in the locket. My wife thought I was going crazy. It’s the funniest picture
The bat was actually Frankenstein's monster , cause he has a flat head. Their was supposed to be a third film with the werewolf vs Doc Holliday & Big Nose Kate. The ending would have had everybody back and fighting in Draculas castle that materialize out of thin air.
Okay, the fact the sheriff not only took the claim of him being a vampire seriously, but checked his papers regarding the matter, implies a lot about this universe that goes unspoken XD which would be great if that was intentional, but it's clearly just cause somebody snorted a line and farted this script out in an hour tops.
I usually watch it in triple feature with "Jesse James meets Frankenstein's Daughter" 1966 and "Curse of the Undead" 1959. You make popcorn, hot dogs, and have lots of orange soda on hand and just relax and enjoy. As truly bad as these movies are they are STILL fun, and I find them a LOT more enjoyable than a lot of the high budget garbage being produced today.
