Ultimate Guide: Dracula (1958)

IN STOCK NOW!

The castle doors have swung open, the candelabra are lit, and somewhere below stairs a coffin lid is easing quietly aside. Best, perhaps, to settle into a high-backed chair with the Ultimate Guide to Dracula - though you might keep the curtains drawn against the dusk, and a crucifix within easy reach. The Count, after all, is a most attentive host, and the night is still young…

Ultimate Guide: The House That Dripped Blood (1971)

IN STOCK NOW!

Isn’t it great that this lovely old house was still available for us to move into? I’m sure lots of people would kill for a chance to work in that well-stocked library, and I’m sure there’s a cellar somewhere. The removal people are still bringing things in though, so let’s stay out of the way and enjoy the Ultimate Guide to The House That Dripped Blood while they get finished. Hang on a sec, who left this old cloak here? It certainly isn’t ours. Mind you, it does look rather chic - maybe you could try it on. It’ll certainly take your image to new heights…

Ultimate Guide: I Was a Teenage Frankenstein (1957)

Professor Frankenstein is certainly keen to keep his experiments under wraps - we can’t ever find out what he’s working on, and he always seems to be snapping at everyone. Or at least, something in his lab is snapping. Perhaps it would be best if we read the Ultimate Guide to I Was a Teenage Frankenstein for a while and wait until he’s in a better mood. We might be waiting a long time though… honestly, can’t he keep a civil tongue in his head?

Ultimate Guide: The Mummy's Ghost (1944)

Things have been pretty strange around here lately, and that poor young woman Amina hasn’t been quite herself. She gets so upset, and apparently she’s been sleepwalking too. I honestly don’t know what this town’s coming to. Perhaps we should take a break and enjoy the Ultimate Guide to The Mummy’s Ghost while things settle down. Anyway, what’s that smell? Someone must be cooking something. Smells like… leaves…

Ultimate Guide: Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954)

This new and updated edition of the Ultimate Guide to Creature From the Black Lagoon has a brand new cover and all-new interior design which brings it into line with the more recent Guides.

Captain Lucas is keen to get the trip underway, so let’s climb aboard the Rita and stow our bags. It’s going to be a long journey - we can relax with the new edition Creature From the Black Lagoon Ultimate Guide and while away the time as we head up that little tributary. After all, it’s so peaceful on deck (come to think of it, where are all the crew?) and that nice Dr Thompson in the bunk doesn’t seem to have much to say. Mind you, with all those bandages on his face he probably can’t say much. I wonder what could possibly have happened to him…

Ultimate Guide: The Abominable Dr Phibes (1971)

Dr Vesalius and those other terrible surgeons have botched another operation, and all hell seems to be breaking loose in London, so let’s take a seat near that mechanical orchestra and read the Ultimate Guide to The Abominable Dr Phibes. At least that pretty young woman Vulnavia isn’t going to distract us by talking; she certainly seems to keep herself to herself. And later on, we could go out to that masquerade party – do you have your outfit ready? This frog mask seems a little tight, but surely that won’t be a problem…

Ultimate Guide: The Nanny (1965)

Nanny will be home soon, and she’s picked up a lovely cake to celebrate Master Joey’s homecoming. Mother doesn’t seem too pleased though - she really needs to tidy up that mascara - and this steak and kidney pie tastes a little funny. The bathroom doesn’t feel quite right, so we could tie a rope around the bedroom door to stop anyone coming in. Or we could visit that nice young lady upstairs, if she isn’t entertaining a gentleman caller…

Ultimate Guide: Scrooge: A Christmas Carol (1951)

Mr Scrooge has let us have the whole day off for Christmas, so there’s plenty of time to enjoy the Ultimate Guide to Scrooge 1951. His apartment is awfully cold though, and can you hear some clanking chains out on the landing? I knew we should have gone to the Cratchits’ house instead - Bob’s wife always makes a lovely pudding. Still, this gruel isn’t bad, and it’s one o’clock already, so I think there may be a visitor on the way…
