It is good. I love the intro song!! It really sets the mood. They are kind of hit or miss when it comes to the movies they premiere. I would say 85% are winners, 15% are not worth watching but at least 35% to 45% maybe more are absolute gems so it makes up for the misses!!! lol I mean some of the movies Ive never seen but they are great and some of them scare the crap out of me! So for that .. . . It's my go to on the nights I actually have down time. I go straight to shower, P.J 's, curl up with my dog, my cat, a cup of Chai Tea, some Oudh incense and it's time for Creature Features. Lol. That's my night time ritual lol.
“The Innocents” is classic gothic horror. Thank you Creature Features... the movie queue is growing by leaps & bounds. Keep them coming! Still holding out for old school double features. 👍🏽🤞🏾. See you “Creature Features Faithful!”, Saturday night!🌙🍻🍕🍺🍿
"The Innocents" was based on "The Turn of the Screw" by Henry James, the brother William James, the "Father of America Psychology" who was also a leading investigator of psychic phenomena. William James was co-founder and President of the American Society of Psychical Research. The very last scene in the "Innocents" when the governess kisses the boy is odd, because it is a key element of the story. The idea that sexual repression causing paranormal events have existed for some time, since the Victorian era. The trim and proper and sexually repressed governess may have been the source of the hauntings in the mansion. They may have been only in her mind. However, more recent parapsychological research, beginning perhaps in the 1950s and 60s have found poltergeist activity is often focused on individuals, not ghosts and spirits. Often these individuals are enduring inner tensions, of a sexual nature or not. In the b/w TV series "One Step Beyond" had an episode called "The Lovers" about poltergeist activity that incorporated this notion of poltergeist phenomena. The episode is available online
@@melissastruxness512 Mike Flanagan based Bly Manor on this and Haunting of Hill House on Shirley Jackson's book. He barely touches on that story tho, only the names and the house. Frankly, I don't care for his poor imitations, even tho I am in the minority.
The scene when Miss Jessel and Flora are standing next to the lake when they met, and the sky is reflecting in the lake is a beautiful shot. I was pleasantly surprised after watching The Hainting of Bly Manor to find the original here. Thank you Creature Features.
This is a awesome 1960s horror flim in black and white makes a creepy feeling with out special effects thanks for playing it tonight and remember Happy Holloween😎😎😎
You sure did us horror fans a huge favor by getting this one to show!Keep looking for those classics,but please keep the grind house/exploitation/drive in fans,as well as fans of 30s horror and 50s monster and science-fiction movie fans,in mind when bringing us your content.Once again,thanks!
This is on my schedule! Love to Tangella. The movie, The Innocents, was one of the first movies to scare the crap outa me as a kid. It helped that my step sister looked exactly like these kids. And she was scaryier than any movie I ever saw. Still is! See you this weekend!
I liked the movie, but in terms of scariness I think the 1963 movie The Haunting with Julie Harris was scarier. One thing though, was I never quite got the reason Miles dies in the end. Was it because he was truly possesed ?
Wikipedia: "[The Innocents] was selected by The Guardian as one of the 25 best horror films ever made." Excellent choice! It's not "slop". I've seen this film many times and it still engages me. I like Pamela Franklin; she always stands out.
I think we all agree that this film is a classic psychological gothic tale. I'm sure Mr. Van Dahl's opening introduction to the show will be positive and Mr. Livingston, (for once) will agree. As for myself, this original film adaptation from James Henry's 1898 novella served as an inspiration for a couple of my music/video projects set around the same era. I recently discovered that singer Kate Bush and film director Guillermo del Toro also got their inspirations to produce "Never for Ever" (1980) and "Crimson Peak" (2015) respectfully. I'm happy I wasn't the only one :)
The kids gave amazing performances, they'll both be in there mid-70 now, the guy who played Miles gave up acting when he reached adulthood, and the girl who played flora, this was her first movie, and she went on to play in mostly horror movies & tv serieses
This movie is dripping with atmosphere. I've seen it at least 10 times since the late 70's. No stupid special efects needed. Just plain good okd fashioned horrior movie making. Brilliant!!! Still scares the crap out of me!!!!!!!
No guests this week, which means more Tangella time. Wow, it has been DECADES since I read The Turn of the Screw; maybe I can reread it this week. I look forward to hearing from everyone this Saturday night!!!
I just found you yesterday , it's a good thing and a bad thing...! You see I've been missing you all this time and I didn't even know it , but now I have lot's of goodies to unearth. So I wish you all well , but most important of all " May a dunked do-nut never float in your coffee " .
the scene where the 2 women arewalking the church and Debra Kerr is telling the other lady that the 2 spirits intend to get closer tothe children is very well written and thought out. then iremembered its writer was truman capote. and withDebra Kerr this film hs some pedigree and very enjoyable.
Not to gloat, but I own an original hard-back copy thereof, ca 1949. I love this movie... Surreal, enigmatic, eloquent, and although hauntingly hardcore to the bone, yet inspirational! Thanks.
I gotta say the beginning music played during the opening of Creature Feature is definitely a ‘Headbangers Ball’ jam. I like it. Ozzy & Orangella got it going with all these scary themes.
Alas 'The Innocents' are not so innocent.This 1961 psychological horror movie is sure to provide more sleepless nights for us all. Have you ever looked in a mirror and seen a face behind you, only to turn quickly around and see nothing? Have you ever seen burning candles suddenly go out with a sudden gust of wind, even though your windows are shut? Have you ever heard the rattling of chains or footsteps on the stairs, even though you live alone? It's probably just your imagination......or maybe not! Saturday night....Fright night....BE THERE!
Fantastic movie. I was just thinking I was getting some vibes from that movie The Others with Nicole Kidman......then 1 hr.58m into this video, the governess said....there are still "the others". I wonder did this movie provide some inspiration for it?
Watching this as a kid I was terrified of the ghosts trying to get into the house to possess the innocents. As an adult it is clear to me that the governess is completely insane and should not be left alone with children. How did this movie change so much? Or did I?
you changed. u were too young to comprehend the subtleties of the mind and more importantly for this topic, the ambiguities that film makers choose to employ in their writing or directing. i mean we know she was crazy but there must be some dummy (lol) who thinks there really was ghosts
I think Henry James meant the story to be ambiguous. We never find out if the ghosts can be seen by anybody or only by the governess & the story leaves us in doubt as to whether she is truly mad or the ghosts are really there.
I could SWEAR this is The Haunting of Bly Manor. Mrs Gross, Flora, the Uncle I mean the creator of Bly Manor obviously took from this. Set in a different Era and all but almost exactly the same story
Channel 4, WDIV in Detroit, used to have a CF-style show in the late 70s that ran right after SNL, titled "Saturday Night Dead". Showed some classics and some howlers. Good times were had.
The 1961 version of Henry James's clasdoc " The Turn of the Screw" which had been made into several movies. This one was a scripted by Truman Capote of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "In Cold Blood" fame. Pamela Franklin is in a supporting role in probably one of her earliest films. Unlike most films here this is actually a serious major movie productuon with major stars like Deborah Kerr and Michael Rennie. Interesting to see if this will be as ponderous as the book and the other film efforts on it. See Richard Burton, Nichole Kidman and many others over tbe years. Henry James is heavy lifting.
The artist submitting his work to the show named "Creep"... Damn dude, nice work! I hope you're taking those skills and making some mad money maybe on comic illustrations etc. Boy's got skillz!
I think Mr. Livingstone should retrieve that ‘blonde wig’ again and re-enact a scary version of Good Ship Lollipop. That may be scarier than the outdated host movie. Or, the alternative, joining the WWE.
Have ye lot seen Straightjacket ? It was quite an engrossing Joan Crawford performance ,I remember it being an white knuckle chair gripping viewing. That film terrified us , haven't seen it since the 1970s . The Snake Pit was another B/W that I found very disturbing . They aren't traditional horror movies though , no ghosts, monsters , creepy things etc.
This is one of those films that for me personally didn't live up to the hype surrounding it - just found it really slow all the way through, acting was great but the story was too slowwwwwww - Might just be my taste though, I think Hammer / Amicus / Tigon productions are Oscar worthy lol
It’s the old black and whites with the shadows, that are the best….woo….boo….lol…..gives you the chills…..i think the little boy killed the guy and the other governess….
Thanks for the video guys I just wanted to say that with this story you really can't tell whether or not they're actually ghosts or the governess is actually a religious fanatic that ends up murdering a child you can see it either way❤
I think Netflix took the plot of this movie and remade it into a very entertaining series but taking place in more modern times...The Haunting of Bly Manor...Same people who made The Haunting of Hill House. This movie is very good, as well as both Netflix series. Thank you for the awesome movies!
A hearty thumbs up 👍🏻 just like every week for your efforts, but this movie 🎥 is beyond painfully slow, and yes, I like “The Haunting” and almost all other classic horror movies🍿, but this is just……..🤦🏻♂️.
It's just my opinion that may not count for much but this is one of the best channels on TH-cam
We know it's your opinion you wrote it
I love everything about it too especially the theme song at the start. It's gets me so pumped for the movie!
It is good. I love the intro song!! It really sets the mood. They are kind of hit or miss when it comes to the movies they premiere. I would say 85% are winners, 15% are not worth watching but at least 35% to 45% maybe more are absolute gems so it makes up for the misses!!! lol I mean some of the movies Ive never seen but they are great and some of them scare the crap out of me!

Your opinion definitely counts 👍 l totally 💯 agree & l love your TH-cam user photo, it really made me smile
Love the spooky atmosphere of this movie. 👻🙂

This is almost exactly like the Haunting of Bly Manor. Seriously. The names and the story.

My Mom loved this movie and another called;
"Uninvited"
I think this was the best .movie you've shown. I really liked it!
The shots of Miss Jessel standing on the other side of the lake still give me chills after all these years !
Me too!!....along with the sound effects!!! I am scared when she sees Ms. Jessel in the school room!!!!
The scene when Miss Jessel and Flora are standing next to the lake when they met, and the sky is reflecting in the lake is a beautiful shot.
I was pleasantly surprised after watching The Hainting of Bly Manor to find the original here.
Thank you Creature Features.
by far the best movie yet on CF
This is a awesome 1960s horror flim in black and white makes a creepy feeling with out special effects thanks for playing it tonight and remember Happy Holloween😎😎😎
The film overflows with special effects; they were different then, and we may often no longer perceive or categorise them as such.
You sure did us horror fans a huge favor by getting this one to show!Keep looking for those classics,but please keep the grind house/exploitation/drive in fans,as well as fans of 30s horror and 50s monster and science-fiction movie fans,in mind when bringing us your content.Once again,thanks!
older movies have spectacular stories
I LOVE the way Vincent waggs his finger at us and say " Stay tuned" !!!😆
Masterpiece.
This film and Robert Wise's The Haunting remain the eeriest haunted house movies I have ever seen.
Totally agree
I hope that everyone on creature features and the great people in the chat had a great holiday season and I hope everyone has a wonderful 2022
Thank you. It has had its upside and downs . Currently on the rise.
Merry Christmas 🎄 😂

Very great movie. Top of the line in performing arts! :)
Im off soon to visit the beautiful Sheffield park in Sussex where the innocents was filmed. 😊
Mr. Big & Little T, make excellent guests.
This is one of the best films ever made. You should read the book, The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. So Good.
Don't think many critics ever agreed with you on this being a "best film".
A classic novel
Finally movies, thank you. NZ
Thx for showing this film tonight its one of my all time fav, thriller/scary movies.. Keep up the great work CF,,,!!!
A little gem 🎥 Film title says it all but with a kick 🎥 🎥🎥🎥🎥
What a good and yet tragic movie, haven't seen it since I
No guests this week, which means more Tangella time. Wow, it has been DECADES since I read The Turn of the Screw; maybe I can reread it this week. I look forward to hearing from everyone this Saturday night!!!
Bloody Awesome choice!
"Slapping the aspic" is the name of my new band.
very good 👍 movie 🎬 thank you 😊
Will you guys please upload Phantasm??? Omg that is the best scary movie ever!! The Tall Man always freaks me out lol.
Adpatation of Henry James's The Turning of the Screw.
I just found you yesterday , it's a good thing and a bad thing...! You see I've been missing you all this time and I didn't even know it , but now I have lot's of goodies to unearth. So I wish you all well , but most important of all " May a dunked do-nut never float in your coffee " .
Adore this film 😍 🎥
Watch it so many times and still am captivated by it 👻 🙏
This is actually a good movie.
. *EXCELLENT SUMMATION, MR. LIVINGSTON !!!* 3:08 /
the scene where the 2 women arewalking the church and Debra Kerr is telling the other lady that the 2 spirits intend to get closer tothe children is very well written and thought out. then iremembered its writer was truman capote. and withDebra Kerr this film hs some pedigree and very enjoyable.

Hey, guys. Thanks for sharing this movie. It looks like another good one.
This movie is so good and so fucked up.
This is The Turn of the Screw by Henry James…if I am not mistaken…? One of the best ghost stories of the early 20th century. I love this channel!!!
I gotta say the beginning music played during the opening of Creature Feature is definitely a ‘Headbangers Ball’ jam. I like it. Ozzy & Orangella got it going with all these scary themes.

Actually no to all of the above.
Some tid-bits: If there is a ghost near, a candle will often burn a blue color. Mirrors should NEVER be placed facing each other.
Brilliant, thanks for this!
used to have this on DVD 😮 love it😊
Great art work from Creep in mail segment.
Fantastic movie. I was just thinking I was getting some vibes from that movie The Others with Nicole Kidman......then 1 hr.58m into this video, the governess said....there are still "the others". I wonder did this movie provide some inspiration for it?
I wish in real life parents were just as kind as the nanny
I love your show. I used to watch chiller when I was younger.
One of my all time favourite films, a true classic. I always have a bit of a laugh at the fact that @ 10: 08 he reads from a blank sheet of paper !.
Watching this as a kid I was terrified of the ghosts trying to get into the house to possess the innocents. As an adult it is clear to me that the governess is completely insane and should not be left alone with children. How did this movie change so much? Or did I?

@@stevenlennon12 your a ghost but just not subtle enough to figure it out yet.🤷
I think Henry James meant the story to be ambiguous. We never find out if the ghosts can be seen by anybody or only by the governess & the story leaves us in doubt as to whether she is truly mad or the ghosts are really there.
Vince your so right about that "scooby doo" moment !!!!!!!!😁
I could SWEAR this is The Haunting of Bly Manor. Mrs Gross, Flora, the Uncle I mean the creator of Bly Manor obviously took from this. Set in a different Era and all but almost exactly the same story
Screenplay by Truman Capote!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
great movie thank you

Your butler's facial expression is priceless in this intro! Movie enjoyable, too.
Classic 👻👏
Should be a good one for sure!!
♥
cool show..... dig the little dancing babe .
Creature features 🤟
Awesome channel
I hope Tangella has recovered from her roof dancing accident. Sounds like a good movie and with no guest more Handrew.

When you don't have a guest you should have a fan on... just some regular joe or jill that enjoys cheesy horror as much as you do.
The artist submitting his work to the show named "Creep"... Damn dude, nice work! I hope you're taking those skills and making some mad money maybe on comic illustrations etc. Boy's got skillz!
oh boy here we go on a Sunday morning for me
Master ..Oh
and the weeping willow song by a child makes it soo creepy🎉🎉🎉
I love you guys!!!!!
Thankyou
This film is considered a masterpiece, what's it doing on this channel? We are a bit outclassed I dare say.
Excited 😮🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great 👍
My movie recommendation would be monster in the closet lol
After a interesting Winter Break the Family Paige returns to CF.
I was too young when this movie came out, only 1, wow, too young, I haven't said that for a very long time.
Great movie
I think Mr. Livingstone should retrieve that ‘blonde wig’ again and re-enact a scary version of Good Ship Lollipop. That may be scarier than the outdated host movie. Or, the alternative, joining the WWE.
Have ye lot seen Straightjacket ?
It was quite an engrossing Joan Crawford performance ,I remember it being an white knuckle chair gripping viewing.
That film terrified us , haven't seen it since the 1970s .
The Snake Pit was another B/W that I found very disturbing .
They aren't traditional horror movies though , no ghosts, monsters , creepy things etc.
Missed you last night. Made it through, so,, watching now.. And, 'Saturday night Dead,' 🌙✨ 🦉 would be fun. 🐈⬛ ❤ 👻
This is one of those films that for me personally didn't live up to the hype surrounding it - just found it really slow all the way through, acting was great but the story was too slowwwwwww - Might just be my taste though, I think Hammer / Amicus / Tigon productions are Oscar worthy lol
you guys are my new family...I look forward to my monthly donations along with my subscriptions for my family.
i like the package sent to Jo Bob Briggs. it was funny especially after i saw the way he runs a Casino floor. :)
It’s the old black and whites with the shadows, that are the best….woo….boo….lol…..gives you the chills…..i think the little boy killed the guy and the other governess….
An adaptation of the 1898 novella The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. Remade as The Haunting of Bly Manor in 2020.
Thanks for the video guys I just wanted to say that with this story you really can't tell whether or not they're actually ghosts or the governess is actually a religious fanatic that ends up murdering a child you can see it either way❤
🎉and a good movie
Do you suppose Mike Flanagan might've taken inspiration from this for Bly Manor?
I think Netflix took the plot of this movie and remade it into a very entertaining series but taking place in more modern times...The Haunting of Bly Manor...Same people who made The Haunting of Hill House. This movie is very good, as well as both Netflix series. Thank you for the awesome movies!
The British TV version of the woman in black is much better than the Daniel Radcliffe movie
Hardly.
A hearty thumbs up 👍🏻 just like every week for your efforts, but this movie 🎥 is beyond painfully slow, and yes, I like “The Haunting” and almost all other classic horror movies🍿, but this is just……..🤦🏻♂️.
