Horror Of Dracula The Final Battle

This video was DISABLED FOR EMBEDDING BY REQUEST, but you can
click on the link provided on the video and watch it.

This is the finale to THE HORROR OF DRACULA, a Hammer Films classic
version of the Bram Stoker novel. THE FUTURIST! loves this foot chase
in the castle as Van Helsing pursues Dracula. Listen to that great
Hammer Horror film music. THE FUTURIST! loves how it plays along with the action
and movements of the actors. One of the best Dracula portrayals was by
Christopher Lee ... or should THE FUTURIST! clarify that he was the scariest!

Eeeek!

The Sounds of Fear

AS readers of THE FUTURIST!'s blog know, he is in contact with Seussonoras Labs located in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Dr. Steven Seussonoras, the CEO, brainchild and inventor of the company, recently imparted some interesting news to THE FUTURIST!, which was, at one time, very hush hush TOP SECRET in government circles. The Bush Administration asked Seussonoras Labs to create a special Guantanamo Bay torture device to make supposed interred terrorist suspects confess to crimes and/or impending crimes to our national security. Dr. Seussonoras is a very compassionate and politically liberal individual and refused to co-operate with the government suits. They then threaten to expose certain information regarding his failed auditions to DANCING WITH THE STARS and AMERICAN IDOL which were unknown to the public at large. He decided to co-operate and designed this aural device to create sheer terror and dental clenching trauma. Dr. Seussonoras is a Indie music devotee and despises teen pop and bubblegum music. He directed this video of a valley girl, which he had cloned into a trio of terror at Seussonoras Labs and had the screeching DNA duplicates overlap their singing of Taylor Swift songs. The good news is that its use uncovered a plan for a group of terrorists to shop lift at a Barnes and Noble on October 27, 2007. This crime was averted. The bad news is that the Valley Girl Clones escaped from Seussonoras Labs. Shopping Malls across the United States are on Red Alert!

In Other NEWS!

Christopher Lee, the great film actor of Hammer Horror Films, does a heavy Metal Album:

Christopher Lee Sings ... Again!

Yesterday, THE FUTURIST! posted a recording of horror acting icon Christopher Lee singing a tune from Kurt Weill's The Threepenny Opera. Those that commented on it seemed to love his deep resonant voice and for those admirers THE FUTURIST! posts this musical sequence from THE RETURN OF CAPTAIN INVINCIBLE (1983). This is a very obscure film starring Alan Arkin as a retired superhero who was disgraced, then retired and became an alcoholic. According to the plot, he is called back to save the day once again and foil a villain named Mr. Midnight played by Lee. In this scene, Mr. Midnight tries to tempt Captain Invincible into succumbing to the allure of drink once again. He tries to seduce him with a song (written by Richard O'Brien, song writer of The Rocky Horror Picture Show). Listen to Christopher Lee's diction and how he reaches those deep low notes. He's a towering testament to testosterone.

This is a good one.

Just Stick a Sharp Spook Stick in My Ear

Here's something really scary ... the star of countless Hammer Horror films Mr. Christopher Lee warbling a tune in his stentorian style. The tune is from The Threepenny Opera ... in actual German.



You didn't finish listening to it, did you?

Let's see how long you last with this terrifying rendition of the Carly Simon classic pop tune YOU"RE SO VAIN. Ladies and Gentlemen, THE FUTURIST! presents the blood curdling maiming of a melody by Tony Randell and Jack Klugman "singing" as their ODD COUPLE characters Felix and Oscar.



THE FUTURIST! wants to die.
