Review of The Monster Club (1981) by Jon C — 19 Oct 2016
Goofy and very corny but has a strange likeness to it.
Vincent Price is a vampire who bites a bystander but instead of killing him or turning him he invites him to a private shindig filled with supernatural beings.
From skeletons to werewolves to ghouls this vampire lays out the history of these creatures that exist in our world.
The main crux of the film involves him telling 3 stories of terror; the first about a lonely rich man with a devastating whistle the second involving a vampire hiding from several hunters, and the third involving sketchy village residents.
Even Donald Pleasance makes an appearance in one these tales.
This anthology film again follows the lines of 'Tales from the Crypt' and 'Creepshow' and it's filled with everything 1980's from the cheesy acting to the rockin tunes.
I also find it interesting that Price drops a line near the end of the film that even though this nightclub is filled with creatures that are beyond the norm who says humans cant be monsters as well considering their entire history of unspeakable acts of horror, so in a way all are created equal according to Price's character.
Low-budget but still a small treasure.
