Horrorthon 7!

Scream of Fear, AKA Taste of Fear (1961). This 1961 Hammer thriller is difficult to discuss. Like Hitchcock's "Psycho", it's full of surprises. Suffice it to say, it concerns a woman who travels to her rich father's spooky house near Cannes. Creepy Christopher Lee shows up with a French accent. The female protagonist uses a wheelchair, which is unusual enough in 2014, but must have seemed very odd indeed at the time (prejudice and accessibility are even discussed). Beautifully shot and lit, almost noir, and with some genuine good acting by Susan Strasberg. 7.5/10

Horrorthon 6!

"Blood From The Mummy's Tomb" (1971). This could have more accurately been called Ripped Out Throats. Every single time someone dies, we get a gruesome shot of their ripped out throat -- no matter how they were killed! Plot wise, this is the story of a reincarnated Egyptian princess, the daughter of the man who discovered 'her' tomb. No actual mummies shuffling around. Typically high production values and acting from Hammer. 6/10
