Horror Classics: Dracula has Risen from the Grave (1968)
Christopher Lee's return to the role of Dracula in 1966's Dracula: Prince of Darkness was a nice surprise for audiences. With that said, Lee had lost interest in the role. He wanted to portray Bram Stoker's Count Dracula, and that wasn't what was being done. Of course, he still played the role, but that was mostly because he was practically blackmailed into doing the role.

Horror Classics: Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966)
Despite the absence of Christopher Lee, 1960's Brides of Dracula was a critical and commercial success. With that in mind, you'd think that the guys over at Hammer Studios would've continued along that route with Van Helsing hunting the Count's acolytes. Obviously, however, they didn't or we wouldn't be here.

Horror Classics: Brides of Dracula (1960)
With the production of Dracula in 1958, it gave people a vampire film like no other. The film was very successful and it wasn't long before Hammer Studios commissioned a sequel. Jimmy Sangster (he also wrote the previous film) was brought in to write the screenplay.

Crime Chronicles: Bloody Bathory
Hungary, not a place I've visited, but it's a land that's well-known for its beautiful landscapes, incredible mountains, lush forests, and rich history. It was also the home to one of history's most notorious criminals, a woman who used the promise of work to lure helpless, desperate young women to her estate...to their deaths.

Mass Effect (2007) is Great Fun!
Mass Effect was a game that had been on my radar for a while and, back in the early days of the COVID-19 lockdowns, I managed to get the whole series at a steal - Steam games were on 70, 80, and sometimes 90% discounts at the time.

Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith
The Star Wars prequel trilogy was doing reasonably well...although there was some major criticism aimed at both the writing and performances. With that said, and I think I mentioned this a few times, I liked the first two films in the set (The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones).

Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones
The release of Episode I: the Phantom Menace in 1999 was met with a mixed reception. That mixed reception made George Lucas a bit leery about doing a sequel. With that said, there was still a significant demand for another adventure in a galaxy far, far away.

Knights of the Old Republic
To say that Star Wars is a juggernaut of a franchise would be an understatement of note. The first film, A New Hope, was released in 1977 and was an instant mega-hit with queues out the door and around the block to see what all the hype was about. At the time, sci-fi films weren't the grand spectacle they are today.
