Today’s director is Freddie Francis. Though Francis may be best remembered as a cinematographer (who worked on three David Lynch films), he was also a director who did memorable work for both Hammer and Amicus in the 60s and 70s.
4 Shots From 4 Films
The Evil of Frankenstein (1963, dir by Freddie Francis)
Torture Garden (1967, dir by Freddie Francis)
Dracula Has Risen From The Grave (1968, dir by Freddie Francis)
This week’s edition was inspired by watching TCM Underground last night. In fact, the last two trailers features are for the two films that I watched.
Abby (1974)
This film was also released under the title Black Exorcist. Warner Bros. actually brought suit against Abby, claiming that it was such an obvious rip-off of The Exorcist that it should not be allowed to play in theaters. Warner Bros. actually won their suit but not before Abby made a lot of money.
2. Sugar Hill (1974)
Sugar Hill is a popular film here at the Shattered Lens. Check out the reviews from both Arleigh and Gary! And be sure to watch the trailer.
3. Blackenstein (1973)
Blackenstein is one of those titles that sounds like it has to be a parody but no, it’s a real movie. There’s even a trailer to prove it.
4. Dr. Black, Mr. Hyde (1976)
Again, the title might sound like a parody but this is a very real film and, from what I’ve read, apparently a rather highly-regarded one as well. This is on my list of films to see, though I have a feeling that Gary will probably beat me to it.
5. Blacula (1972)
From William Crain, the director of Dr. Black and My Hyde…
And starring William Marshall, the star of Abby…
It’s Blacula! This is the first film that I watched on TCM Underground and it’s a legitimate classic. Check out Gary’s review here! And watch the trailer below:
6. Scream, Blacula, Scream (1973)
Of course, any successful film is going to get an inferior sequel. This was also the second movie that I watched on TCM Underground last night.

Well, as Val already made clear with today’s music video of the day, it’s Friday the 13th!
(As I type this, I’m currently in my underwear and sitting in a wilderness cabin. If I here any strange noises outside, I’m going to grab a flashlight with a failing battery and go outside to investigate without putting on pants or letting anyone know that I’m leaving. I honor the traditions of this day.)
And you know what? It’s an even better Friday the 13th than usual because … IT’S OCTOBER!
I think this is the first time, since we started this site and our annual horrorthons, that we’ve had a Friday the 13th in October. It seems like today would be the perfect day to review every single film in the Friday the 13th franchise but … I ALREADY DID!
Back in 2012, I reviewed every Friday the 13th film. It was one of the first “review series” that I ever did and I’m still quite proud of how it went.
