Wasn't it made purely to make use of props that were left over from filming <i>Dr Zhivago</i> or something?<br /><br />On a similar note, I'd recommend <i>The Creeping Flesh</i>, another Christopher Lee/Peter Cushing imitation Hammer movie about the discovery of yet another body that turns out to have equally sinister intent.Steve Does Comicshttp://stevedoescomics.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-35753785562471550162013-10-24T12:27:20.526-05:002013-10-24T12:27:20.526-05:00I have Horror Express on DVD for a couple of years...I have Horror Express on DVD for a couple of years now and still haven't watched it!

Cushing & Lee are on top form, but Savalas literally comes in as if he's from a whole other movie and steals the entire thing from the pair of them. Great flick!<br />Shockwaves - neh. It was interesting at first, but after the umpteenth shot of the zombies slowly ( really slowly ) rising from the water, I couldn't wait for it to end. The only thing that kept me going was the promise of Cushing's all too brief cameo.<br /><br />Other suggestions: Well, if you like Hammer, there's always Amicus, the pretender to their 70's throne.<br />' And Now The Screaming Starts ' is a period piece that doesn't go more than 5 minutes without something creepy / gory happening, ' The Monster Club ' & ' The House That Dripped Blood ' are fun anthologies, as are the EC adapted ' Tales From The Crypt ' & ' Vault Of Horror '<br />Then there's the unholy trio of folklore horrors: The Wicker Man, Witchfinder General & Blood On Satan's Claw...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-29780169822534584132013-10-24T09:49:06.937-05:002013-10-24T09:49:06.937-05:00Pre-Kojak...?

"Horror Express" is fantastic though, really scary with them all trapped on that train with a monster on the loose and both Cushing and Lee as well as the curiosity of a pre-Kojak Telly Savalas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
