The Night Has Eyes (1942) Available February 28

February 20, 2023 4 Evil Eyes

Screen legend James Mason stars in the classic British chiller The Night Has Eyes (1942) debuting on Blu-ray from ClassicFlix.

When the Carne House Secondary School for Girls closes for the holidays, schoolteacher Marian (Joyce Howard) and her colleague Doris (Tucker McGuire) decide to vacation on the Yorkshire moors—the same area where Marian’s friend Evelyn mysteriously vanished a year earlier.

While taking a shortcut on foot to their destination, a violent storm kicks up and the two women are forced to seek shelter in the home of composer-pianist Stephen Deremid (Mason), a recluse suffering from the shell shock he experienced fighting in the Spanish Civil War. Marian soon develops an attraction towards Stephen…but she also starts to suspect that he might have had something to do with Evelyn’s disappearance.

Adapted from the 1939 novel by Alan Kennington, The Night Has Eyes (A.K.A. Terror House and Moonlight Madness) showcases one of the earliest screen performances from James Mason (Odd Man Out, Bigger Than Life) who shines in his brooding portrayal as the enigmatic murder suspect, and is matched by British femme fatale Joyce Howard’s performance as the heroine determined to solve the mystery of her missing friend.

Skillfully written and directed by Leslie Arliss, Eyes is a spookily atmospheric thriller that benefits greatly from the haunting cinematography by Gunther Krampf (The Hands of Orlac, Pandora’s Box), who painstakingly worked for hours getting the right density on the artificial fog effects. Character greats Wilfrid Lawson and Mary Clare are particular standouts in a superb supporting cast.

STARRING: James Mason, Wilfrid Lawson, Mary Clare, Joyce Howard, Tucker McGuire, John Fernald, Dorothy Black

The Human Monster (1939) Available February 28

February 20, 2023 4 Evil Eyes

The dedicated detectives of Scotland Yard are investigating a series of deaths involving victims found drowned in the Thames. The link in these baffling murders is that they were all indemnified through Dr. Feodor Orloff (horror icon Bela Lugosi), an insurance agent who’s designated The Dearborn Home for the Blind as their beneficiary. Could there be a deeper connection between the sinister Orloff and John Dearborn, the kindly minister in charge of the home?

Detective Inspector Larry Holt (Hugh Williams) is convinced there is and his investigation becomes personal when the daughter of one of the victims, Diana Stuart (Greta Gynt), is recommended by Orloff for secretarial work at the Dearborn home. The inspector quickly develops an attraction for Diana, but she soon learns too much and will suffer the same fate as her father if Holt doesn’t act quickly to solve the case.

Shot in a speedy eleven days, The Human Monster (A.K.A. The Dark Eyes of London) was based on a 1924 novel by prolific mystery author Edgar Wallace (the co-creator of King Kong) and provided Lugosi with a rare opportunity to appear in a motion picture produced abroad. Monster was also the first British film to receive an “”H”” certificate (for “Horrific”) from the British Board of Censors meaning that children under the age of 16 were not permitted to see the motion picture.

Utilizing moody lighting and atmospheric sets, The Human Monster stands out as one of Lugosi’s more memorable post-Dracula showcases and he’s aided immeasurably by a fine supporting cast and skillful direction from Walter Summers (The Return of Bulldog Drummond), who also contributed to the script along with Patrick Kirwan, Jan Van Lusil and producer John Argyle.

STARRING: Bela Lugosi, Hugh Williams, Greta Gynt, Edmon Ryan, Wilfred Walter, Alexander Field, O.B. Clarence, May Hallatt

When Two Worlds Collide by Joan B Pritchard Available February 28

February 20, 2023 4 Evil Eyes

Author: Joan B Pritchard

These stories will grab your attention until the end of each tale. The characters may be different, but at some point, their lives cross into a parallel world.

The twists and turns of fate guide the reader into a world of ghosts and goblins, where murderers lie in wait for the unsuspecting. You’ll never know what’s to come, and that’s just how the author likes it.

There’s coach trippers, who die one by one – by why and by whose hand?

A killer strikes at a Harry Potter exhibition in Oxford: Druids challenge Druids, and the Green Man himself appears in their midst: a group of friends die in horrific circumstances, and a toy figure is always found lying by the victim – perhaps the names Scarlet, Mustard, Plum seem familiar: a ventriloquist’s dummy is not at all what he seems and a dead and buried girl just won’t die, until she catches her murderer.

Of course, there’s normal people too, who bring humour and pathos into the tales – well, there’d have to be, wouldn’t there, or you’d never believe what you’re reading or hearing! It’s all part of the magic of mystery – and you’re the magician, who gets to unlocks it.

Author: Emeth Everley

“It should have been a different night. The moon should have turned red with blood. The earth should have shook with rage. Water should have seeped from the mountain and flooded the city below.

Yet, it was quiet. The gods did not cause disasters. The people did not rebel. Nor even tremble in shame.

All was silent on the night that the last dragon fell.”

Follow the telling of when dragons faced their demise and when the veil between two worlds was forged in fire and sealed in death.
