[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 330949, member: 57984"] Oh, yes. If only the existing ones were better. STRAIT-JACKET is a film I always compulsively re-direct in my head whenever I see it -- so close and yet so far from what it is. Among other things, Arthur Arling's camerawork is crap. But the movie's so tacky it looks like audition footage that went wrong. Oddly enough, I like the color scheme of DDMD, so it's one of the few of this genre I actually preferred [B][I]not[/I][/B] be in B&W... It gets fairly tired, though, after Miss Powers is locked in the attic. Stanwyck's is THE NIGHT WALKER, which features a creepy Vic Mizzy score admired by even Hitchcock's Bernard Herrmann. The movie goes bad fast, just after the first explosion. The intriguing prologue was obviously complied by somebody other than William Castle: [MEDIA=youtube]nRRXcrcAGT0[/MEDIA] . Agreed, my thoughts exactly. Even Crawford said it was her favorite horror venture behind only BABY JANE. . Spielberg never knew Mommie Dearest tried to fire him until after she died years later. i Meh. Her turn as Crawford in FEUD failed to enthuse me. And HUSH didn't work for me either (I recall BUFFY's "Hush" was more effective). [/QUOTE]
