Delve into the Vintage Vault

As a perennial fan of vintage movies, I have grown to love Sunday nights when, from 9 pm onward, the Legend channel presents the Vintage Vault, broadcasting from a trove of the daffiest, most wonderful old scary movies. From lost tribes living underground, invasions by giant, alien crystals, man-eating blobs and all-singing, all-dancing, rivers of slime, to new takes on old friends like Dracula, Frankenstein, mummies and were-wolves, the only limit is the budgets of the movie studios of yesteryear. I dip in to marvel and then shed a tear for those old, innocent days, when wonder and suspense could be created without so much as a CGI. Really, do look in.
