Another fun thing about this movie is there's a whole "international superspy" subplot that ends abruptly with the spy bumping into the Monster, like if James Bond went through 40% of From Russia with Love and then got murked out of nowhere by a hopping vampire.
Today's movie is Horror Express, or Pánico en el Transiberiano (1972), which I'd never heard of before @jmritchey.bsky.social mentioned it. Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, and Telly Savalas investigate a cosmic horror aboard a train crossing from China to Russia in 1913. Shockingly good.
Yeah, this movie is a Call of Cthulhu keeper running Horror on the Orient Express and there's also a Delta Green one-on-one running in the background that ends with a single bad die roll.
Me and my steppe buddies convincing this alien that in order to build his spaceship he's gotta ride around on a horse with the steel held in the air, we're all trying not to laugh as he bounces around in the saddle
The movie is just so full of extra weird that didn’t need to be there. Like… everything to do with Telly Savalas.
Sure! The alien’s gonna use the secret, mythical steel formula to make a spaceship to get home. Fits right in!
Ahhh I learned of this from Creepshow S2E5 "Night of the Living Late Show", it features heavily! Really enjoyed that episode but never caught the film itself
