Monster Club

http://youtu.be/eSAvIhOQVgU              I watched the most bizarre , quirky Hammer horror film last night called " Monster Club "  I must admit it started badly with a scene of a crowd of  monsters dancing in a night club complete with musical numbers played periodically through out the film by three different bands . The costumes were awful . But several very spooky stories were told by the vampire narrator ( VINCENT PRICE ) while he explained a monster breeding family tree chart thats  gives the results of various monsters breeding combinations and the bizarre results that occurred . Some of these were human crosses !   " The results are always disastrous "
 .One story was of a mans young son discovering his father was a vampire , not a night shift worker ! . The  next was about a film producer who was scouting for a location for his next horror film and  is trapped in a  remote village of ghouls and half ghouls . " All our food and clothes come from boxes in the ground !  " Says a young half ghoul .... Quirky and original . Never has a film swung from so bad to so good ! Certainly something different by the hammer studios and funnily it works with more than a few laughs .
  Finally the moon is low enough to be seen from my chair while i watch TV which is distracting cos it is dramatic as the clouds drift over it . Actually it looked precisely like a hammer film set ! LOL
