Burnt Offerings (1976) starring Oliver Reed, Karen Black, Bette Davis, Burgess Meredith

Burnt Offerings is a very different, and very effective, haunted house movie. At no time does the audience see any sort of ghost or malevolent entity. Only the effects on the people in the house, making it more frightening.

Eegah! (1962) starring Richard Kiel, Arch Hall Jr., Marilyn Manning, Arch Hall Sr.

It should be mentioned at the outset that Eegah! is one of the worst movies of all time. It earns that title with bad acting, bad sets, and a bad script.

But Eegah! is one of those movies that’s so bad, it’s fun to watch and make fun of while you do. It’s not surprising that it’s been mocked by Mystery Science Theater 3000, among (many) others.

Review

Buy from Amazon Vincent Price is well-known for playing the role of the sympathetic monster. And here, as a once-great artist named Jarrod, his hands ruined, confined to a wheelchair, he’s definitely sympathetic. And, literally with a tragic backstory.
