Halloweenathon:Vault of Horror

Today we look at a film based on Vault of Horror,the comics from the 50's....Not really,it just takes the title,and the stories actually come from Tales From the Crypt,but still

In this 1973 film 5 men enter a lounge and recount their nightmares

SO this films is based on EC comics and is a follow up to Amicus other EC comics adaptation Tales from the Crypt .Ive never read the comics but have seen thye previous film ,whichj ios a personal favorite of mine (And of course I have seen a few episodes of the TV show from the 80's and 90's and all three film connected to said series).Vault of Horror is a good movie and a good anthology .I dont think its as good as its predecessor Tales from the Crypt but it is an ejnoyable film

I will rank the segments from least fave to most fave

5.Bargain in Death -Lamest segment ,just a guy rying to fake his death for insurance and I found it boring,its the only dud in the movie

4.Midnight Mess -Guy goes to a mysterious town to kill his sister for inheretance ,unaware that its dangerous to be out atr night .This ones fine ,the twist is fun but its just funny how the brother is so upfront hin his murderous intentions .Fun fact the brother ands sister are played by actual siblings Daniel Massey and Anna Massey ,whose dad is Raymond MAssey AKA Johnathan Brewster from the macarbre comedy Arsenic and Old Lace ,so thats fun

3.This Trick Will kill you -A magician and his wife set out to steal a magic trick from a woman in India .Fun of this one is really Curd Jurgens and Dawn Addams as the villianous couple

2.The Neat Job -A man obsessed with neatness and order is constantly getting on the case of his new wife .Less horror (Till the end) and more classic dark comedy ,with it getting so high due to the punchline and the great performances of Terry-Thomas and Glynis Johns

1.Drawn and Quartered:An artist uses voodoo to enact revenge on those who wronged him .I love the idea of whatever the artist paints happening but really what sells this segment is a pre Doctor Who Tom Baker as the artist,he just has such a sinister quality

Overall reccomend this movie ,its reallly spooky fun

Adult Movie Posters Nurses for Sale (1976) As an epidemic threatens the world’s population, even a tropical paradise isn’t immune to the grave dangers involved. A potential cure has been discovered and when a shipment arrives in a lush island nation, the ship’s captain Markus (Curt Jurgens) has more trouble than he expected. Despite having the antibiotics on board, he is harassed by local law enforcement because his ship also carried some barrels of booze. After some wild barrel tosses and a lot of spilled alcohol, Markus and his crew leave to explore the island and in specific, the women that reside there. Meanwhile, a group of nurses work to keep public health in order, even if that means random threesomes that unfold to ease the patients’ suffering.

Silvana Pampanini by Truus, Bob & Jan too! Via Flickr: Franco-German card. Ufa, Berlin/ Editions P.I., Paris. Unitalia Film Silvana Pampanini (1925) is an Italian actress who knew enormous popularity in the 1950s and 1960s. In the early 1950s, before Sophia Loren e Gina Lollobrigida reached stardom, Pampanini was one of the most well-known symbols of Italian beauty. Born in Rome from a family that had moved there from the Veneto some three centuries ago, Silvana Pampanini got her law degree during the war and visited the Conservatory of Santa Cecilia where she got a degree in piano and song. As a singer, the young Pampanini made career within entertainment music, not only were her songs widespread on unique records, she even got an audience with pope Pio XII. Over the years she also was a frequent visitor of the opera seasons. Her cousin was the soprano Rosetta Pampanini. When war was over, her singing master inscribed her for the Miss Italia contest in Stresa in September 1946 which she won ex aequo with Rossana Martini, thanks to a fierce audience reaction after Martin had originally been chosen by the jury. Her Miss Italia title was her introduction to a career in cinema and from the film L’Apocalisse (Giuseppe Maria Scottese 1946) Pampanini performed in various films, often musicals. She became also the toast of weeklies and film magazines. Her father, who originally had been against his daughter having a career as actress, became her agent. Even if she was dubbed in her first roles Pampanini became a star, performing with all the great actors of postwar cinema: Totò, Peppino De Filippo, Alberto Sordi, Vittorio De Sica, Marcello Mastroianni, Nino Manfredi, Vittorio Gassman, Walter Chiari, Amedeo Nazzari, Renato Rascel, Raf Vallone, Nino Taranto, Massimo Girotti, Ugo Tognazzi, Carlo Dapporto, Paolo Stoppa, Rossano Brazzi, Massimo Serato, Folco Lulli, Aroldo Tieri, Carlo Campanini. Among her foreign film partners were Jean Gabin, Henri Vidal, Jean-Pierre Aumont, Raymond Pellegrin, Pierre Brasseur, Curd Jurgens, Pedro Armendariz and even Buster Keaton. In the 1950s Pampanini played in one film after another and many of her films were distributed worldwide. Well known was for instance the Dino de Laurentiis production I pompieri di Viggiù (Mario Mattoli 1949), which Ennio Flaiano considered rather a series of vaudeville acts than a film, and thus preceding TV vaudeville. With Quo vadis? parody OK Nerone (Mario Soldati 1951), Pampanini had her first international success as Empress Poppea, opposite Gino Cervi as Nero, and Walter Chiari and Carlo Campanini as two American sailors who dream they are in Nero’s Rome. In the romantic comedy Bellezze in bicicletta (Carlo Campogalliani 1951) she formed a pair with Delia Scala and sang one of the most beloved songs of the time: Bellezza in bicicletta. In 1952 Pampanini performed in the much awarded Processo alla città (Luigi Zampa), starring Amedeo Nazzari; La presidentessa (Pietro Germi), based on a French pochade; and La tratta delle bianche/White Slave Trade (Luigi Comencini). The latter also casted Eleonora Rossi-Drago, Tamara Lees and (in a smaller part) Sophia Loren, but the leading men Vittorio Gassman and Marc Lawrence both have set their eyes on Silvana. In 1953 Pampanini played in an episode of Un giorno in pretura (Steno) for which her makeup man transformed her in a lady 30 years older. That year she was also the title character Anna Zaccheo in Giuseppe de Santis’ Un marito per Anna Zaccheo, which costarred Nazzari and Massimo Girotti. In 1955 Pampanini performed in the comedy La bella di Roma by Luigi Comencini, which co-starred Alberto Sordi and Paolo Stoppa, and she played in the box office hit Racconti romani (Gianni Franciolini), based on a story by Alberto Moravia, and starring Franco Fabrizi. Finally Pampanini played in La strada lunga un anno (1958) by Giuseppe De Santis, an Italian-Yugoslavian coproduction, an Oscar candidate in 1959 and Golden Globe winner for best foreign picture. Even if she went to America, Pampanini refused to act in Hollywood, presumably as her English was not good enough, but she did play in France, where she was known as Niní Pampan. Examples are La tour de Nesle (Abel Gance 1955) in which she played Marguerite de Bourgogne opposite Pierre Brasseur as Jehan Buridan, and La loi des rues (Ralph Habib 1956), with Raymond Pellegrin. She also played in films in Spain, Germany, Greece, Yugoslavia, Egypt, Argentine, and in particular Mexico, where she played in some films that never were released in Italy, such as Sed de amor (Alfonso Corona Blake 1959) with Pedro Armendariz, and Napoleoncito (Gilberto Martinez Solares 1964). In the meantime the yellow press published flirts of Pampanini with prince Ahmad Shah Khan, Tyrone Power, William Holden, George DeWitt, Omar Sharif, Orson Welles, king Faruq of Egypt and others. Pampanini herself told how her one true love, a man ten years older than she, not involved in cinema and never identified, died of a disease one month before their wedding. After some short experience as director and screenwriter in 1958, Pampanini slowed down her film career and focused on radio and TV, where she worked as announcer and host of manifestations. In 1964 Dino Risi directed her in Il gaucho, a partly autobiographical film in which Silvana played a declining diva, who pathetically searches for her lost glory and for a millionaire to marry. In 1966, after twenty years of career, Pampanini quitted cinema in order to assist her aging parents whom she took care of till their death. She returned for one last role as a prostitute in an episode of Mazzabubù... Quante corna stanno quaggiù? (Mariano Laurenti 1971). After that she was only visible once more as herself in Tassinaro (1983) by Alberto Sordi. Silvana regularly appeared on television from 1951 on, so from the very first emissions on. In 1956 she launched the debuting wizard Silvan to whom she gave his stage name. Her only piece of television prose for RAI was a comedy by Gustave Flaubert in 1971. In the Mediaset mini-series Tre stelle (1999) she had a bit part as the old mother of Alba Parietti and in Fall 2002 she was part of the cast of Domenica In during two months. Pampanini is devoted to Padre Pio and San Antonio, she never married nor had any children, though she was proud that once Totò proposed to her, on the set of 47 morto che parla (Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia 1950), even if he asked in vain. For decades Pampanini claimed the torch song Malafemmena was dedicated to her, but in reality it was inspired by the divorced wife of the Neapolitan comic, as has been indicated by Toto’s daughter and a document of the SIAE. Though living in Monaco, Pampanini was nominated “Grande ufficiale dell'ordine al merito della Repubblica Italiana” in 2003 by president Ciampi. In September 2009 she returned at the Venice film festival for the projection of the restored version of Noi cannibali (1953) by Antonio Leonviola, a film inserted in the section Questi fantasmi 2, dedicated to Italian films to be reconsidered. Silvana played a chorus line girl who is pestered by men making passes at her. In the same year (2009) the Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar declared in an interview that Pampanini was one of the Italian actresses with whom he’d like to do a film. In her roaring years Pampanini was not very beloved by the critics and did not receive important awards, which caused her in her autobiography of 1996, Scandalosamente perbene, to compare herself with Greta Garbo. Pampanini never was afraid to keep still, so in December 2006 she publicly mocked Gina Lollobrigida for marrying a man much younger than she, and when in 2008 mayor Walter Veltroni did not invite her for the Festa del Cinema in Rome, she started a serious polemic. In 2007 she did participate in the festivities of 70 years Cinecittà and in 2009 she hosted the Mostra del Cinema dello Stretto which brought a warm welcome and the recognition of her career.
