October is the time of year when many of us revisit some of our favorite horror films of all time as we prepare to celebrate the best holiday of the year: Halloween. But throughout the month we've also been taking a fond look back at some AWFULLY GOOD MOVIES, including the blaxploitation classic BLACULA, the Benecio Del Toro-starring THE WOLFMAN, and the monster mash-up from hell DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN. Now we're back at ya with another entry in our Awfully Good Movies October Monster Mash with the silly 1985 horror comedy TRANSYLVANIA 6-5000.
Check out this cast: Jeff Goldblum, Ed Begley, Jr., Geena Davis, Michael Richards, Carol Kane, Teresa Ganzel, John Byner, Jeffrey Jones, and Geena Davis' breasts. With a star-studded line-up like that in a film about tabloid reporters hunting down monsters…how could you go wrong? Well, writer/director Rudy De Luca somehow managed to do just that. Yet there is something endearing about this mess of a film (Geena Davis' breasts?) that keeps us from writing it completely off. It's perfect for our AWFULLY GOOD MOVIES video column, so enjoy this trip to Transylvania with Jesse Shade (and Geena Davis' breasts).
Here's the lowdown:
Two reporters travel to a strange castle in Transylvania to investigate the apparent reappearance of Frankenstein, and encounter such kooky creatures as the sensitive Wolfman, the horny Vampiress Odette, as well as a whole cast of other weirdos.
