And I want you to report back to me in an essay of no less than one thousand words on all the reasons you now love Paul Naschy. And you can dedicate it to me, for getting you started :P (I'm kinda being serious!)Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299640716799276127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200832832545654418.post-79110051651747169182010-12-02T07:00:21.362-05:002010-12-02T07:00:21.362-05:00Hmmmm.

Until I do, I will just feel that something is lacking in my horror-fuelled life.James Graceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968719719213071671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200832832545654418.post-35066795229864541632010-11-30T16:59:18.625-05:002010-11-30T16:59:18.625-05:00Oh, my dear Vicar, I love it too, with a similar r...Oh, my dear Vicar, I love it too, with a similar rat-on-fire passion that only Paul can evoke. Can you believe that was real? Andy Milligan would take the verite route as well. If a rabbit needed to die for the film, a rabbit was going to die. Same here - if a rat needed to be on fire to truly capture the essence of a scene, then so be it! A few rat bites ain't gonna get ol' Naschy down! <br /><br />He really does make the Hunchback the main focus here. I love that about Naschy, though, it's part egotistical, which I can totally respect, and part hey, let's do this for the fun of it, let's do it because it's unconventional and the rest of the world be damned.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299640716799276127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200832832545654418.post-89742859829991198822010-11-30T16:26:44.715-05:002010-11-30T16:26:44.715-05:00Jenn, I love this movie with a fiery, burning, rat...Jenn, I love this movie with a fiery, burning, rat-immolating passion, and I was grinning like a goober throughout your whole glee-filled write-up. Great stuff!<br /><br />I love the way Paul turns the conventional hunchback wisdom on its head here--think about it, the hunchback is always the supporting character, a few lines and a little background creepiness, but Paul brought him front and center and made us think about the troubles and heartbreaks such a creature might go through (and this decades before the kiddie-flick IGOR tried the same--though without the hunchback humping (scoliosex?). It's also neat how this mixes the "mad doctor's assistant" figure with the more tragic lovelorn HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME idea. Just wonderful stuff.<br /><br />Thanks for knockin' 'em out on the blogathon! Can't wait to see the rest of your output! ;)The Vicar of VHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832137990485130735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200832832545654418.post-57735802243681330682010-11-30T12:00:22.372-05:002010-11-30T12:00:22.372-05:00Excellent write-up.

Come for the hunchback, stick around for the mad science, and get slightly buzzed off of the slime creature.

I need to track down a copy to watch, particularly for the jumping rats (urgghhh) and besides Hunchback movies scared me witless as a child.Löst Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09907139441842698894noreply@blogger.com
