My Girlfriend needs help!
Is that redundant? Anyway, she's been asking me about a movie she saw on tv as a kid that scared the %>@* out of her, but I can't place it. B&W, severed arms hanging from a wall clutching at...

I've never seen it, but could it be THE HEAD, a german film with Michel Simon as a disembodied noggin?

Don't believe so... I thought of that one too, and like you I've yet to see it (Hey! maybe this is a good excuse!), but no, she insists that the severed head is a woman :)

"The Frozen Dead" with Dana Andrews had arms sticking out of the wall, and a female's shaven head in a pan, but I believe the film is in color. Maybe your girlfriend saw this movie on a B/W TV, or the...

It should be The Frozen Dead, here is a site with pics and a good description: www.jabootu.com/acolytes/bnotes/frozend.htm

I'm think that it is "The Brain that Wouldn't Die" It is a woman's head in the pan and during a pretty gory scene for the time, a guy gets his arm ripped of by the creature locked in the closet. Do a...

Gotta' be The Frozen Dead - though, yeah, it's in color. Sometimes we remember incorrectly whether a film's in color or b/w (especially from childhood). Saw this as a kid as well and liked it. Overdue...

Definitely FROZEN DEAD, although the confusion is understandable given that it may be the only film ever directly influenced by THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE. The head is almost an homage. The head in...

The film is surely THE FROZEN DEAD released by Warner Bros./7 Arts on a double bill with IT starring Roddy McDowell. IT was in color and FROZEN DEAD was black and white when I first saw the films in...

Hmm, when I saw "The Frozen Dead" on tv about 30 years ago, the print was in b&w, even though it obviously looked (via its age and perhaps the lighting) like it was supposed to be in color. It was...

DR. BLOOD'S COFFIN was a color film released in America in B&W. I think that was true of DEVILS OF DARKNESS and THE VULTURE, too.
View ArticleRe: My Girlfriend needs help!
That was the case with THE VULTURE when I saw it in 1966 during its initial release on a double bill with THE DEADLY BEES.

Corman's LAST WOMAN ON EARTH always used to be in black and white too. I think the same was true of GOG. "Snips and snails and poppydoc tails...."

I didn't know that DEVILS OF DARKNESS had been filmed in color till I read it a few months back on this very board. It was definitely b&w when I saw it in the theatre supporting CURSE OF THE FLY.

Thanks everybody! Won't she be thrilled! I actually thought of THE FROZEN DEAD first of all, but she said there were no nazi's in the movie; but who knows if she even watched the whole thing. The one...
