FLASH GORDON "ROCKETSHIP"
starring Larry "Buster" Crabbe with Charles Middleton Not even Castle Films ever took a 13 chapter serial and condensed it into a one-reel 10-minute short but Thunderbird did just that and the result is a reasonable glimpse of the story-line and silly special "effects" by Universal's Ed Wood style of film-making! A nice digest that shows how hammy acting can really be! 16mm / Sound / b & w / 400-foot-reel edition from Thunderbird Films ..............$20. |

THE MUMMY starring Boris Karloff |
|
THE MUMMY'S TOMB starring Lon Chaney, Jr. The revived mummy sloths his way through a New England town and kidnaps a woman while she sleeps. Another of the rare instances where Castle Films captured the best scenes from the feature film as well as giving the customer what they paid for in plenty of mummy footage. The mummy's fiery demise, at least for this sequel, is well staged and the clever use of newspaper headlines to advance the minimal plot lines works well.
