Halloween is my favorite holiday for many reasons, from TV marathons to horror-related shopping, and this year has the added bonus of Stranger Things Season 2 dropping on October 31. The creators are known to have been inspired by Stephen King in crafting the Netflix hit , and the next batch of episodes was influenced in part by another genre icon: James Cameron's Aliens .

Director Roger Corman and writer Charles B. Griffith famously made 1960's Little Shop of Horrors in two days on a few sets and with nothing but sheer filmmaking bravado to back them up. Well, that and a ludicrously-talented cast that included Corman regulars Mel Welles, Jonathan Haze, Jackie Joseph and of course, the great Dick Miller, all riffing along like notes in Fred Katz's jittery jazz score, all having a great time while Corman instinctively married ludicrous comedy, lurid smut and darker strains of psychological horror, a worthy and wonderfully messy companion to Corman and Griffith's similarly wacky 1959 hit A Bucket of Blood .

Hey folks, Harry here... LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT, directed by Todd Browning and starring the late great icon of horror, the original Lon Chaney... well, if you're a film geek, you know this silent "vampire" tale has been lost for ages. A couple years ago we were on a trail of an alleged LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT print that was purportedly in Warner Brothers' gigantic film library under the name THE HYPNOTIST, which was an alternate title at the time.
