Cinema Still Life: What the hell, here's everything...

So I've got these pictures you see. Some from the internet, some from old collections, some scanned from old movie books, what have you. And I've got several I want to use for October. Then I look at the calendar and think, "It's the 28th, there's no way I'm getting each one of these up for a separate post before the 31st." So I figure, I'll just put them all up. For the last Sunday before Halloween Cinema Styles presents an All Hallows Feast of Photos for your viewing pleasure.

Lon Chaney, Sr. in London After Midnight. Most of the footage has been lost but a recent restoration shown last year on Turner Classic Movies filled in the gaps with still photos like the one at the top.

Now see, this is the kind of movie that you should name Monster's Ball.

Chaney again in painful make-up for The Phantom of the Opera.

"I see you won the second place bowl. I of course won the first place prize: Gold Medal. Better luck next year."

"I know you're already dead and everything but I'm gonna try this here gun anyway. Nothing happened. Oh crap..."

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! It's a Mimieux!!!!! I mean, a Morlock!!!!!! Yvette as Morlock food, a member of the Eloi in George Pal's 1960 version of H.G. Wells The Time Machine.

Spencer Tracy as a man with a mission. He's the good doctor, Jekyl that is, cruising in his Mr. Hyde persona looking for love with the nearest Swedish actress.

Look at that face and tell me you don't hate her long before you ever find out about the plot of the movie. Patty McCormack in The Bad Seed (1956).

Someone lied to the poster artist in France and told him Robert Ryan starred in the movie.

Now there's the real star, Vincent Price. An excellent actor who went from character actor to horror movie icon. From this to Theatre of Blood and everything in between there's probably not another horror star who appeared in as many good horror films as Price.

Watch out!!! There's a giant movie of a lizard projected on the screen behind us!!! Victor Mature and Carole Landis in One Million B.C. (1940).

Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932) with Bela Lugosi.

Margaret Rutherford (fondly remembered for her portrayel of Miss Marple in the sixties) as Madame Arcati in David Lean's version of Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit (1945).

I Married a Witch (1942). Veronica Lake was burned at the stake 300 years before by Fredric March's ancestors and swears revenge. She has a potion for March to drink and when he does he will, in her own words, "become my slave and do my bidding for the rest of his life." Then she accidentally drinks it. That would be the precise point where the movie lost me.

It's for Roger Corman's The Raven (1973). Wow, what a poster!

Samantha's dad, Maurice Evans, undergoes the painstaking transformation from man to Orang-O-Man(!) in The Planet of the Apes (1968)

Barbarella (1967). I'm sure most young boys from the sixties and seventies remember it as the real cool sci-fi flick they watched for the plot, right? Right?
