#MONSTERMONDAY: SOMEONE IS TAKING MORE THAN PAPER-CLIPS AND BLU TAK FROM THE STATIONARY CUPBOARD!

#MONSTERMONDAY: This really isn't what you would expect upon hanging a door you just bought from #B&Q or #HomeDepot! But then...it was no ordinary store or door. If you are foolish enough to try and cheat Peter Cushing's shop proprietor in Amicus films, #FromBeyondtheGrave...you only have yourself to blame, when beyond said door, the harmless pens and paper-clips are replaced by a mysterious room, with one very angry inhabitant, who wants to steal YOUR WIFE! For those of you who haven't yet had the pleasure of viewing the film, I'll stop there. For those who HAVE? What's your say? Sir Michael Sinclair, harmless cupboard ghost with squatters rights..or MONSTER???

I HAVE BEEN KNOWN at get-togethers when watching this film and this scene in particular, to prattle on endlessly about the quality of the cinematography and lighting in this scene.... quite superb!

IT WASN'T UNTIL quite recently I discovered that the actor playing Sir Michael is in fact, Jack Watson, of Babe fame ! Mainly a UK television-film actor, but a fine one, who has down the years kept my nephews and nieces entertained with his sheep herding trotter! Jack sadly left us in 1999 aged 84.

WHAT'S BEHIND THAT DOOR? 'FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE'

I gave 'THE DOOR' story from Amicus films' 'From Beyond The Grave', several viewings last week. I truly believe, that in a film that was stuffed to the gills with excellent performances and stories, had it been part of say, Torture Garden or Vault of Horror, it would have got the recognition, it so truly deserves as a fine piece of cinema.

Superb cinematography from Alan Hume, with some clever in camera illusions, the 'Blue Room' set from Bert Davey, Simon Wakefield and Maurice Carter. Jack Watson as the chilling Sir Michael Sinclair and Lesley-Anne Down and Ian Ogilvy as young couple, the Seaton's are believable and really get into their roles in limited time span of a short story. I really wish Subotsky had developed this one into a full 90 minute feature. Along with Cushing's 'Poetic Justice' from Tales from the Crypt... this one is one of the jewels in the Amicus crown and looks beautiful! Anyone agree with me?
