I suspect that's a big part of it among horror fans. "Never expect much from your fellow man. It save a lot of disappointment." - Samuel A. Peeples

All of it would work better if the production values weren't so dire. I've seen day-for-night shooting from Monogram that was more believable. It's like they weren't even trying.

Posts: 15215 Apr 10 12 5:02 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Nevertheless, by 72 Hammer had fallen very far from their heights reached in BRIDES OF DRACULA and KISS OF THE VAMPIRE. The modern Hammers were simply embarrassing, unless one is a Stone Ground fan....

Posts: 12433 Apr 10 12 8:19 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Quarry is , OK, not bad. And you can't pin day for night shots or production values on him. I found him quite appealing at the time (hell, I still do). Can I help it if I'm attracted to men who play on the other team? At least I never lack interesting conversations. Which, at a certain age, ain't a bad thing. You say "Wicked" , like it's a bad thing.

I'm a little late to the party here, but there's plenty to dig about SUGAR HILL without being a Quarry fan.
