| San Francisco Examiner - October 31, 1946 |
The Fox West Coast Theatre chain held a series of late night screenings of Halloween appropriate fare to celebrate All Hallow's Eve in 1946. I have no idea what that 'Sneak Spook Preview' being screened at the Paramount was, but it might have been a marketing bait and switch. No idea.
House of Frankenstein (1944) is a fun little romp that plays like two episodes of a television series have been edited together to form something that resembles a feature length movie. The Vampire's Ghost (1945) is an above average cheapie boosted by a somewhat decent script, co-written by Leigh Brackett, and enlivened by a solid performance from John Abbott, who plays the titular vampire.
I have yet to see Voodoo Man (1944), but seeing that it was directed by William Beaudine and stars both Bela Lugosi and John Carradine, I just might check it out some random, rainy morning when I am in the mood to watch an old school grind-house programmer.
