Dug out another werewolf film poster from my collection - The Beast Must Die (based loosely on The Most Dangerous Game and Ten Little Indians). Peter Cushing is in this film as well and the end of the film features "the werewolf break" in which viewers are encouraged to guess which one of the guests is the werewolf.

I think eventually Marvel will own the werewolf genre with modern movie audiences.

Just a matter of time before Marvel makes this movie.

one of the most valuable and overlooked things about the cover of Action Comic #1 is that it includes the first appearance of the  "Terrified Man "

I'm still very busy but I thought I would post this especially from the 18 minute mark Mike should get a kick out of the finale a certain Creature makes an appearance. McHale's Navy.

Here is a short student movie based on a Steranko story from Tower of shadows issue 1 starring the late great John Carradine called "Shadow house". I liked the way they tried to capture the shadows on the walls direct from the comic panel, it gave the film an eerie effect.

Was this Marvel's first foray into the horror genre years before Blade and before you mention it no, I'm not counting Dracula's appearance in the Spider-man cartoon.

Looks like they cleaned out the local magic shop of all their Don Post masks!  Where did they get the size sm Creature costume? Looked like a real one!

Yes Mike I noticed that as well although if you look closely you can see that the claws are gloves but very like the prop Creature suit, I wonder was there a publicity tour costume made for small town appearances. As you mentioned the masks are clearly Don Post however had he made the the Creatures claws by then it was roughly filmed in the 1961-62? As for the chest piece that looked very near to the original. The studio that filmed the series was ABC which was in partnership with Paramount so that rules out a Universal connection, they even have an episode called "The Creature from McHale's Lagoon".

So it was at the height of the Monster craze (Have you heard that Nessie is now thought to be a giant Eel!) let's just say it is having an EEL of a time dodging tourists.
