https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LF3ZwXEG45M This is the MIDNIGHT FRIGHT MOVIE for the episode PRELUDE of The Friday Night Radio Horror Program presented by Odd FM W. O. D. D. Royal Oak https://www.mixcloud.com/OddFM/preludes/  Werner Herzog’s Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) is a mesmerizing homage to F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent classic Nosferatu, blending the eerie atmosphere of the original with a distinctly melancholy and gothic flavor. Herzog's version, closely follows the narrative of the original, yet infuses it with a meditative and tragic sensibility that elevates the film beyond mere horror. Klaus Kinski delivers a haunting performance as Count Dracula (or Nosferatu). But don't expect the glamour of a suave Hammer Horror Dracula. He’s more the love child of Uncle Fester and Gollum, with wolfish teeth, goblin ears and claw-like nails. But despite his monstrous appearance Kinski transforms the vampire from the horrific into a tragic, almost sympathetic figure. His portrayal is...

GINGER SNAPS (2000)

  "Ginger Snaps" isn’t about biscuits. It’s a wonderful movie that sinks its teeth into the messy, bloody business of adolescence with a darkly humorous take on the werewolf mythos. It follows two teenage sisters, Ginger and Brigitte, who are obsessed with death and the macabre. Their lives spiral into chaos after Ginger survives a werewolf attack. Puberty is already a nightmare, but adding fangs and fur to the mix takes teenage horror to a whole new level. The film cleverly uses lycanthropy as a trope for puberty, transforming Ginger’s physical and emotional changes into a horrifying reality. Think "Mean Girls" meets "American Werewolf in London," but with more menstrual metaphors. As Ginger undergoes her hairy transformation, the film explores themes of identity, sisterhood, and the trials of puberty. Acne and awkward growth spurts? Try claws, a tail and an insatiable hunger for human flesh. Katharine Isabelle nails the role of Ginger, evolving from a sa...

  Queen of Space @ The Internet Archive: https://ia601805.us.archive.org/32/items/queen-of-outer-space-1958/Queen%20of%20Outer%20Space-1958.mp4 "Queen of Outer Space" (1958) is a sci-fi cheese fest set in the far-off future of 1985, where an all-male spaceship crew crash-lands on Venus. Here, they discover a planet entirely populated by beautiful women in short skirts and skimpy outfits. The crew soon find themselves in the clutches of the Venusian women, ruled by the once beautiful but evil Queen Yllana. She wears a mask to hide disfigurement, caused during a war started by men who she now despises and she plans to destroy Earth. The Earth men's macho, testosterone-fueled bravado is as high as the the ladies hemlines and they soon spring to action to try to prevent Earth’s destruction. A highlight of the film is the women’s unlikely attire. The Venusians flaunt perfect hair, makeup, and 1950’s fashions, despite living in an advanced technical civilisation supposedly free...
