Massive quasi Sumerian /Deco sets by Art Director Van Nest Polglase and set direction by Thomas Little. A stunning score by Max Steiner

 Costume Design by Aline Bernstein and Harold Miles

Randolph Scott  plays Leo Vincey  the descendant of his identical looking ancestor who claims to have visited an ancient lost land over 500 years ago, where exists the secret of immortality within the eternal flames of a mystic fire. Over seen by an immortal Queen called ‘She’ the entrancingly beautiful Helen Gahagan

Vincey sets out with family friend Horace Holly, the wonderful Nigel Bruce to discover this mysterious legend, taking along with him as well, the beautiful Tanya Dugmore (Helen Mack), a guide’s daughter.

They struggle through the frozen terrain of the Russian arctic, until they stumble upon Kor, the hidden civilization brutally reigned over by the vicious Queen She. Once She sets her sights on Leo, she believes that it is her beloved John Vincey, her long lost lover who left her behind 500 years ago!

“From H. Rider Haggard’s weird, wondrous story of the beautiful woman who bathed in flame and lived 500 years .. at last to find her first love at this very hour!”

A trailer a day keeps the Boogeyman away! The Brainiac or El barón del terror 1962

The Brainiac or El barón del terror 1962

Picture it…1661 Mexico, the Baron Vitelius of Astara has been sentenced to be burned alive at the stake by the Holy Inquisition of Mexico for witchcraft, necromancy, and crimes against nature!

Behold the papery comet!

But as he stands frying in the flames of justice, as in all good revenge/horror films the Baron swears vengeance against the descendants of the Inquisitors.

Now…300 years later, coinciding with a comet that streaks overhead like a fiery paper cut out in all it’s glory of early special effectiness, on the night of the Baron’s execution, he is resurrected as a brain-eating fiend that wreaks havoc and brain sucking retribution on all the descendants of the Inquisitor. Nothing like a steamy pewter serving dish of fresh brains…yum!

Directed by Chano Urueta and starring Abel Salazar (Curse of The Crying Woman 1963, The Vampire 1957)as the Baron Vitelius/Brainiac. Also starring Ariadna Welter and David Silva. A fabulous Mexican Horror film from the 60s that just sort of stays with you…!

“See horrible and insane killings as the Count turns into a monster and seeks his revenge!”

A trailer a day keeps the Boogeyman away! Fiend Without A Face (1958)

This is Amelia Reynolds Long. A Sci-Fi geek with glasses. A girl after my own heart! See guys aren’t the only ones not only loving this stuff, but creating it as well! Cheers for Amelia Long!
With original music by Buxton Orr and the special effects credit listed as Ruppel & Nordhoff, and some very fun sound design by Peter Davies as sound recordist and Terry Poulton as dubbing editor. It takes work to bring to life monsters, in particular making little invisible brain creatures scrape, scratch and crawl along floors, roofs and trees!One of THE best Sci-fi/Horror hybrids of the 50s! And certainly one of my all time favorite films of the genre, Fiend Without A Face plays out like a fantastic nightmare. It is truly what makes classic Sci-Fi and Horror so memorable. Given the choice between claymation brain creatures crawling on their spinal columns or any new CGI version as such, I’d pick whimsical every time!Prof. R.E. Walgate (Kynaston Reeves) starts experimenting with the mental forces of telekinetic power. He configures a lab that draws energy from the nearby nuclear power plant. All the farmers in the area are worried about their cows low milking yield and blame the military somehow. All the darn jets flying over heard scaring the cattle. Given the growing mistrust of the military being so close by, when people start mysteriously winding up dead, it sends a wave of panic through the village.Walgate proceeds to unleash an invisible force, a creature that evolves with a cunning intelligence and ultimately breaks free from the lab, consuming the nuclear power from the plant and terrorizing the hard working farm folk.In the end, the horror is realized as they materialize into a full embodied ‘brain’ creature, which is fantastical and captivating to watch as they descend upon this little rural English town.Can Major Cummings played by Marshall Thompson figure out a way to stop them before they suck the brains out of all humanity? The film also stars Kim Parker as Barbara Griselle, Prof. Walgate’s assistant, and Maj.Cummings love interest.Yet another Science Vs The Military fable built into the narrative …Who will be the hero in the end in this cautionary tale of careful what you wish for…don’t tamper with the unknown forces of nature and the ensuing invisible monsters that crawl and creep and hang from the trees like little Beasties!!!!!!! Like fiends without faces!!!!!!!!!“New Horrors! Mad Science Spawns Evil Fiends! …Taking form before your horrified eyes!”Happy Trailers MonsterGirl
