Yes, it really is too silly even for Price fans
4 December 2022
I recorded The Monster Club purely because of Vincent Price's star power but I do wish he had left these attempts at comedy spoofs alone as they spoil his otherwise legendary reputation. Only two stars I am afraid in spite of it's splendid supporting cast of Barbara Kellerman, James Laurenson, Donald Pleasence, Britt Ekland, Richard Johnson & Stuart Whitman. They must have wanted the money badly is all I can add. John Carradine plays a writer who is accosted one night by a not very serious vampire, Vincent Price, who after sampling Carradine's delicious blood, invites him to his Monster Club. There we meet a gaggle of so called monsters in make-up that looks like it came from the village joke shop rather than a film production company, perhaps it did. Three stories follow of which only the first one has a glimmer of entertainment. Even Vincent Price fans, dedicated as I am, would do well to skip this turkey.
