We have a great copy of <i>Fancies and Goodnights</i>, from the eighties with Seymour Chwast covers, though it has been much too long since I read it last. I'd hate to think that Collier really is a forgotten author, though.Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-50212561830362911052015-05-30T09:51:10.309-05:002015-05-30T09:51:10.309-05:00Thanks for the comments, new post coming right up....Thanks for the comments, new post coming right up... and thanks again to Layla too for allowing me to post images of her amazing man-eating creation! :)Mr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-5528345147357371122015-05-29T18:24:26.446-05:002015-05-29T18:24:26.446-05:00I liked the Audrey Junior Layla made.

He could pretty much handle either one with ease, much like Davis could.Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-88338563308213712422015-05-23T09:32:00.429-05:002015-05-23T09:32:00.429-05:00Man-Eater of Hydra is a cool and sadly overlooked ...Man-Eater of Hydra is a cool and sadly overlooked film, haven't seen it in years myself!

But at least this one sticks to VERBAL nastiness, so he doesn't press his luck COMPLETELY when it comes to the Creature, the way Bela Lugosi does with Tor Johnson in BRIDE OF THE MONSTER, with that notorious flogging.<br /><br />If you're any kind of a cat person, it's nice to see that what happens to the cat wasn't actually planned by the scientist, and he even looks shocked by it (instead of just plain gleeful that the plant has reached a new step in its eating).<br /><br />(That one moment is a little like scenes from the Euro-horror film MANEATER OF HYDRA, where at least some of the things the scientist's plant does seem to be unplanned by him.)Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603892208775996594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-55669144448751048032015-05-22T15:43:33.719-05:002015-05-22T15:43:33.719-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mestierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469030153414408109noreply@blogger.com
