19700132 Scream and Scream Again (A Fiesta 4)
Oh Boy. Vincent Price, Christopher Lee AND Peter Cushing…
Gonna be a classic, right? Maybe an Amicus-style trilogy with each horror legend headlining a story? Fantastic.
Okay. Half-hour in. Vincent Price shows up in a bit role. Peter Cushing as a Faux Nazi is killed immediately by another Faux Nazi using The Vulcan Death Grip. Did I blink and miss Christopher Lee?
Remember The Vulcan Death Grip? We’all cramped our fingers trying to make each other pass out pinching necks. Never worked. The Vulcan Death Grip does not work on yourself either. Days into sore shoulder nights & no instant sleep. Is The Vulcan Death Grip just a marketing trick for gullible kids? Why does the most logical, peaceful character have a death pinch? Well, Live Long & Poop.
OK, there’s three different stories, all happening simultaneously. A confined jogger gets limbs amputated one at a time. There’s a stoic nurse. There’s faux Nazi’s doing something nefarious. Killing guys with neck pinches. And the cops are after a serial killer who turns out be a daytime vampire, kinda. About a third of the movie revolves around a chase with the daytime vampire. The cops use a female cop to lure the daytime vampire at a club that apparently is bumping at 2 in the afternoon. Of course, the first dude to hit on the lady cop turns out to be the killer. How? Amazing luck, that’s how.
Still no Price or Lee, Cushing’s dead. My theory, the makers of the generically named Scream and Scream Again finished their movie, called, let’s say, The Search for the Daytime Vampire, and realized the movie had no big stars. So, they hired for one day, Lee and Cushing and spent for a day and a half for Price, jammed them into the movie and rejiggering the end.
So, Scream and Scream Again, while technically a movie containing horror greats, is really another movie that never gels with multiple, almost separate storylines. Patched together with too many characters and muddled storytelling.
Still, Price keeps a boiling vat of acid in his laboratory for acid-ing stuff. That never goes well.
